I'm afraid HN has a serious problem with downvoters. Why -in heavens name- is the above a question that deserves downvoting? UPDATE: whoray - I got downvoted too. Gee man. Just not…

True. Or you can switch to Mint. The think with systemd though is that you don't have this option anymore. Regardless of how bad idea you think it is - you are stuck with it (as it…

Criticism does not equal complain. If I find something horrible I'll say so - that's feedback. By your way of thinking, since I don't have to use brainfuck (an intentionally horrib…

I see that this change (systemd) is mostly driven by desktop software dev teams. If linux chooses to care mostly about the desktop aspect (IMHO previous such experiments like Unity…

You don't provide any argument. 'It runs on my machines' is akin to 'it runs on my laptop'. Previous system was working, battle tested, was _not_ broken, was not polluting user spa…

"There is also concern that it forms a system of interlocked dependencies, thereby giving distribution maintainers little choice but to adopt systemd as more user-space software co…

I don't know about other distros but let me remind you that ubuntu sometime ago switched from gnome desktop to Unity despite all the cries that the latter is just horrible.

I think that this is because people are finding Python equally well suited for such tasks and more modern. Perl (easy to) obscure syntax is not helping either.

Do you have any link to that speech/article?

You have to know either the jurisdiction (offshore country) of the company or the name of the person. What would be quite valuable would be a search based on the linked countries. …

That's a google lot of money.

Great comic! Thanks!

Tcl may be the best language in the known universe (highly doubt it) but try running a job search for it in linkedin. Then do the same for java. I'm not the damned CEO you know. I …

No - I don't think that because I stayed there long enough to make sure that the lion's share was TCL. What they said they meant with "java" was that they were going to rewrite the…

lol. Did you even read it?

Of course I did. They lied with "java".

OMG I remember interviewing for a company asking all the right questions and talking about nice tech stacks and whatnot. People were nice too. Then I got an offer and I accepted it…

My feelings exactly. Authority/fame coupled with AI hype (in fashion again these days). Also _not_ clarifying that we are not dealing with any sort of hard AI (which is what the la…

These days it seems that TDD and agile methodology is the orthodoxy dogma. I'm wondering though if longstanding and wildly successful open source projects, such as Linux, adhere to…

Sad as it may be your being based on a low income country was probably one of the main reasons they approached you. And it is quite universal so I wouldn't attribute it to unprofes…

Well said.
