This is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about. Being a go-between, between the techs who just don't know how the business side works and management who don't know what can be achieved with the right technical decisions.
By project management i didn't necessarily mean for a single project. Maybe i should have said "team lead". I mean't project management as in for a regular task, not a title.
At this stage in your career you should be focusing on the bigger picture (in terms of projects) stuff. I know the word is tainted around here, but... project management.
Grunt development work should be done by newer developers (who will work for less), you need to be more focused on managing a team, consulting, etc.
Don't sell yourself short. You've likely seen many projects succeed and fail, and should have learned lessons on how they could be better managed. Leave the grunt work to those developers who don't have that experience, and try to get into the position of managing them.
Knowing what can be done and how will make you a better manager - you don't need to be the one doing it.
Yup, but i don't think KDE upstream care. It is starting to depend on linux only things like HALD (for automount), and doesn't support the FreeBSD equivalent, DEVD. If you're a modern desktop environment developer it seems that no one cares about cross platform any more.
Possibly because ZFS was designed from the ground up, and BTRFS was a hack to try and do what ZFS does without the "layering violations" that are actually inherent to the functionality of ZFS...:D
I *suspect* it is perhaps due to securing system files in a manner so they can't be modified when running multi-user (thus immune to exploit by user code) - kinda like freebsd securelevels perhaps. At least, thats the only reason I can see for it.
If Linux were to have a stable driver ABI, Nvidia/AMD could simply release a binary that you could link and have work. Like on every other sane OS on the planet.
Expecting companies to bend over backwards to support Linux, when Linux can't even provide a stable driver ABI is a bit rich. By not providing this, Linux is giving a big "fuck you" to hardware OEMs.
... compared to those who DON'T believe in imaginary friends/foes? I'm sure i've read a study somewhere in America's deep south where the incidence of murder/rape increased with the level of religous zealotry.
The SSD part of the hybrid drive is more reliable flash than in larger SSDs, and it is used as cache. if it fails, the drive reverts to non-hybrid behavior.

+1, exactly the point i was trying to make.

I didn't say ban them from the internet. The fact that a bunch of people seem to think that is what i mean by parenting is sad in itself...
Yeah that was in something like 2006. Upon initial release. Before it was fixed.

KDE is becoming increasingly Linux only as well.
Gnome and/or firefox are becoming increasingly irrelevant...
+1 to that...
No problem with ZFS on my BSD box.
Use the wetware between your ears. It is called parenting - this can't be delegated to machinery.
+1 to that. End user desktop = easier to just restart the OS. If its a server platform, well the admin can figure it out and re-start stuff manually.

Well, it depends if you are claiming to have written the relevant piece of code "from scratch" in a certain period of time or not.

If you pre-fab everything on the ground then its not really "building", more like "assembling".
Well, is anyone even talking about 20tb SSDs yet, at ANY price?
The SSD part of the hybrid drive is more reliable flash than in larger SSDs, and it is used as cache. if it fails, the drive reverts to non-hybrid behavior.
How do you think data gets into and out of ram Einstein?
Oh i don't know, people with >16gb data sets? My vSphere nodes have 192gb of ram each. They still have swap.
So in 2015 when i'm rocking a single 20tb spinning hybrid drive in my notebook, how are you going to match that with SSD?
