And SimCity came with a big development team that could work to patch any issues they had after launch. I didn't see anyone jumping through hoops to give them a pass for shipping an incomplete game.
Why would you do an AMA on slashdot? Unless you have a strong opinion on bitcoin or want to talk about something controversial Linus said 8 years ago, this doesn't seem like the place to hold things kind of thing.
If you think your career is finished at 30 you either don't have the technical savvy to succeed or need to get a little self confidence
I'm a 29 year old non-OS programmer who is learning Linux device drivers. My boss didn't ask me to learn it -- I told him I had to in order to continue doing my job. Get some textbooks, create a test/development environment you can use where you won't break anything, and go buckwild.
The future is finally here! Now we're going to have a government-backed currency with a central bank that can control interest rates! Anyone can exchange it at will! Of course, the institutions that monitor these transactions are going to have to follow a set of regulations, and probably have some sort of government-backed insurance for deposits. But it'll be digital! Wave of the future!
The day I got Civilization 2 my friends sat around the Playstation all weekend to play it and shoot the shit. It's pretty much the same thing, except now I'm 1500 miles away when I bitch about Ghandi. And by the way, that South Park was a 2-parter.
A router is *totally* a system, though. But it just seems like we're just arguing semantics. I consider a philosophy to be a set of guidelines that exist for reasons beyond the scope of the system you're building. If you can't do something that makes sense for your system for reasons that exist beyond your system and the process of building/maintaining it, you've got a philosophy. Using uselessd over systemd because you need to use the uClibc library is a design decision. Deciding that we're never going to use systemd again because the maintainers are jerks and an article said it feels more like a Windows utility than a Linux utility is a philosophy. While it might generally make sense for you to not use Windows-like utilities that are maintained by jerks, if your project will not be affected by jerks or a Windows-like utility it would be rather foolish to exclude systemd from your design solely for those reasons.
Yeah, I've had the "Athesim is a religion, too" argument before. Building a router doesn't require a philosophy -- it requires a process for getting from a world where you don't have a router to a world where you have a router you've built. If you'd like to incorporate a larger philosophy into your process, that's fine, but it's certainly not integral.
Thanks for all of that -- I'm surprised how much of it I actually followed. It seems like it all kind of resolves to the "use the best tool for the job" comment I made somewhere in this thread, and for what the OP wants to do he doesn't need systemd, but to take a functional system and completely rebuild it because of some principled, non-technical issue with one of the libraries doesn't seem like an effective use of ones time.
The $35/oz gold standard. The $20/oz gold standard ended in the 30s, along with many other countries discretely devaluing their currency in one form or another. Countries generally began recovering from the great depression at the point they devalued their currency relative to whatever commodity it was tied to.

So it was probably the gubbmint. Thanks, Obama.
I'm glad that what you feel "Needs2BeSaid" doesn't require any fact checking.
Thankfully all of my code passes the seepho test, so I have an equally arbitrary metric to send up the management chain.
That automatically comments on Nerval's submissions asking why no one mentions that Dice is /.'s parent company.

But why is no one talking about the traffic issues in Skylines?
Jesus, Mr. Spacely, settle down.
The people who like crappy compressed music only like it because the kind of music they enjoy isn't really affected by a crappy compression...
Ohh shit.

And from what I've seen they specialize in beating dead horses for clicks.
Because your portrayal of "helpless user" was pretty narrow.
Bullseye. I bought a 970 and I'm apathetic about this for that exact reason.

Is pretty useful.
My thoughts exactly -- right down to the overblown profanity.

Indeed. The moment the currency was devalued there was no real reason to consider it a reliable investment vehicle.

This is all beginning to sound very dogmatic.
