Stupid approaches only work for stupid people.

The article author is working in the wrong industry.

I don't know many ui programmers doing embedded programming for turbine controllers in asm. This isn't a nit, this is an observation on the 'programmers are generally applicable' i…

I get the impression that most commenters negatively reacting to these comments (where they bear on the frustrated blue collar ethic of 'interior' America) are not terribly interes…

Summary: Operating an interdependent service environment at scale is hard to do if you have multiple areas with heavy technical debt + known breakage and no testing past 'x'. IMO t…

I've found that holding down two jobs isn't unbearable for short periods of time. You need the right positions, lots of experience in a couple fields and a good resume and referenc…

The keywords there are 'typical hardware', but it can get worse. How about 'badly selected' hardware on a short time frame, in situ, waiting for an install and application port pro…

Exactly.

You know I really don't care for a pl that tells me how to do things. I fought python for a long time on a simple issue like indentation. C like syntax is best. RUST is stupid synt…

I don't need to watch a propaganda film to remember how it was. I was there. How old are you?

Understood. Same privilege escalation applies. ..and the syscall chroot is used between systems as a primitive in either os space and semantic.

Selinux MAC is painful coming from DAC and it has bitten me numerous times but depending on your environment and exposure it can be a must have. I wouldn't run an 'exposed' system …

Apologetics only gets you so far. In this case I don't care for the attempt. Let those who have an interest take advantage and the rest catch as catch can. This marketed approach i…

Your suggestions are ideal in terms of training and compatibility with society. I just don't think that they are practical (in the US) right now. The dysfunctional approach between…

This is insightful. Ran into this sort of thing at a .gov during audits for systems accreditation in 200x. I made the mistake of using 'mitigation' in my documentation and opened u…

In the 70s when police officers carried a baton and a revolver you'd encounter a lot more talk, diplomacy and second chances. In the age of terrorism and tazers that has become rar…

I was working at a high school as systems/network administrator using NT 3.5/4., Novell Netware 3,4,5 and SuSE linux 5.x. Doesn't seem so long ago to me.

That's a relatively new concept. Traditional developers didn't understand much about systems design for scalability, redundancy and much less about operational discipline and syste…

Firstly: I've administered and designed large CI/CD real world installations for what would be single project scope at Google and those efforts are challenging enough for me. The b…

OsX has always been the alt-users paradise. As a sysadmin and developer I've disliked it from the start. Windows I could use for gaming and when I had to. Linux and FreeBSD are fin…

Trumps election is a symptom of the effects of perpetual war, associated propaganda and globalization in markets and jobs in the US. He is symbolic of peoples frustration with poli…

I guess that is equivalent to 'if it might be broke, break it'?

Exactly what I rail against in Rust. What do you see when you toss a coin friendo?

Dictatorial concepts in PL usually fail pretty badly. Rust may become the textbook example of a good idea too far. I'd certainly never use it or use anything written in it given a …

Led a netware 5 migration from NT4 and NT 3.5 in 1999-2000. Some people then would have disagreed with you. :)
