  • The main issue here is that there’s a mismatch between userspace perception of state versus that of the kernel driver, and no standardized way to push that information (unless you make your desktop environment add that info by polling the filesystem driver)

    Users definitely don’t want blocking dialogs if the userspace visible state is already updated enough to keep working. And ideally your software would check what kind of drive you’re using and report to you when it’s actually fully done as you close the program, but like I said this isn’t standardized


  • Shouldn’t be 5 min, but that’s what you get if the drive don’t have both enough RAM and capacitors to hold a decent write cache to extend it’s lifetime. Then the OS have to either wait for drive to report it’s done, or complete the sync from the file system driver’s cache. Or else you simply deal with it being both slower and dying faster…

    finally my manager said something about the bonuses has already been communicated and people would be angry to get less

    That’s because they have a fixed budget and the proportions are tied to evaluated performance tiers, increasing your rating would contractually require them to compensate you more from the same pool of money


  • You’re missing the absolutely massive difference of the purpose of constitutional law VS federal or state law.

    In a simplified form, the former is to constrain government actors to protect the people, the latter is to constrain individuals to protect them against each other.

    There is no such thing as a right to be a president, but the constitution recognize the right to not be represented by seditionists. The constitution doesn’t punish the candidate here in 14A3 - it simply constrains them from enacting the power of the government.

    Criminal and civil punishment would be applied separately, where the candidate is directly afforded rights. But enacting constitutional restrictions is not limited by the results of civil and criminal procedures. Why else is congress allowed to impeach which just a vote?

    Due process looks very different for the same reason - the process is designed to protect the public over the candidate, and the candidate’s strongest claim is protecting representation, not protecting themselves.
