<p>As opposed to constantly watching a classroom clock with anxiety.... tick tick tick. Ding. Goodbye. Don&#39;t forget to turn your brain off as you leave.</p>

<p>My last day reminded me of how freeing it is to not teach on a rigid bell schedule. Someone asks, &quot;can we talk about linking?&quot; This leads to an impromptu 30-40 discussion involving operating systems, libraries, system calls, static linking, dynamic linking, shared libraries, dynamic loading, memory organization, and even a bit of security concerns. Wait, where were we? Oh yeah, compilers. Let&#39;s get back to that now.</p>

<p>if you haven&#39;t been adulting very well and now you&#39;re constantly sleep-deprived, your clothes aren&#39;t washed, your nutrition pyramid is inverted, etc, your problems are in a knot and trying to pull it in every direction at once will only tighten it. </p><p>focusing on one key issue (if you have poor sleep hygiene then I recommend starting there) will get one loop out of the knot, and now the knot is smaller, and the next loop comes out easier, and one day you&#39;ll realize you&#39;re fine.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://socks.masto.host/@John" class="u-url mention">@<span>John</span></a></span> yeah, for most cases logical separation of duties is all that&#39;s really needed, and something like BSD&#39;s jails would be well suited without as much computational overhead.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@gsuberland" class="u-url mention">@<span>gsuberland</span></a></span> I would think the actual cloud companies are trying to keep their excess capacity down in order to control costs, but yeah. I do rebel against the idea that a small Unix/Linux box needs containers to do just a few things. Unix is good at doing a few things.</p>
