When times were different a few years ago I applied to 300 jobs. Only 8 contracted me back.
It happens man and it's not their fault. They use HR filtering software. 85% of them didn't even know I applied I am sure and it went into a black box after spending hours tailoring.
If you're a developer than luck you! If not this is quite normal.
That catches up man. Reputation and assholishness works both ways. Sometimes the market favors the employer. Sometimes it favors the employee. How each responds and respects in each era impacts the other.
I have had a job offer given and gave my 2 weeks notice only to be ghosted! I could not even file for unemployment and lost my life savings!! Scum.
As a result I do not trust recruiters nor employers even when they extend an offer. Only after I finish my first day do I celebrate a new job. Ridiculous but part of times.
Always be ethical and professional even if your employer is not. You never know who gets bitten in the ass when market conditions change
Where I am from someone who can't commit to an interview time he or she already agreed to is the same person who calls in sick all the time and makes PTO with a sense of entitlement.
When you can't commit it says more about you and I will not want to move further either.
My favorite are the battery of IQ tests and calculus that I haven't seen in years from college before they will even talk to you. Not even applicable to the position at all.
Unless you answer 150 timed questions in a stressful situation on your own time they won't acknowledge you exist
I stopped using Firefox as it only uses 1 core unlike IE 8 and Chrome 1.0 10 years ago which are multithreaded for added security and performance. Firefox in the last 6 months finally caught up but I was under the impression PaleMoon still didn't support this?
My expensive 32 gigs of ram would have to be thrown out for DDR 4 in addition of a new motherboard. The IPC is about the same so there is no need to upgrade just for that.
I will wait for another few years until things improve. Maybe Ryzen2 with DDR 5 before I bother with the expense
This is a perfect example why companies refuse to outsource their Exchange servers, SharePoint boxen, as well as file storage services to the cloud. HR won't let them for reasons such as this.
For those arguing it is GODADDYS FAULT not Amazon they miss the point. It was perfectly secure and fine the way it was. Some bean counter who is not trained in risk management urged to fire their IT workers and outsource this function to the cloud to save money.
Will KVM work with Intel CPUs that lack VT-d? I bought the 4770 instead of the 4790 because it was cheaper. I regret that choice as it doesn't support I/O pass thru. As a result I am limited to Windows 10/Hyper-V or Virtualbox unless I want to pluck $$$$ for VMWare workstation
You do know VMPlayer is no longer free and is like $100. It and it's VMWare Workstation cousin is no longer being developed by Dell either. Sucks worse is VirtualBox is now owned by Oracle. Sigh
Most people here say just use MySQL and are dead serious without realizing what enterprise needs are. This is slashdot after all and free software is somehow always superior over proprietary. Anyway Oracles tools tie heavily into generated code all proprietary PSQL and PeopleSoft APIs and other Java code using again more proprietary Oracle calls. It really would be a complete rewrite to leave them which they took out of Microsoft's playbook.
There is a reason companies love their Microsoft Surface books while consumers use other tablets. It is because of the tie in with the ecosystem infrastructure which MS monopolized 20 years ago so they can't leave it.
It's cheaper to just pay the bribe and stick with a thousand papercuts of pain than to cut off a limb and upset the company shareprice in excess spending.
?? Have you seriously ever ran a distro without updating? No distro in existence can still function after 2 updates. It always requires a re-install because it lacks an ABI driver model which every other OS has for decades now.
Companies did the offshoring. Some like Chevron still are while there is a big fight now back to in-source.
All the companies that did this last decade lost money, had outages, had terrible experiences, and couldn't integrate their processes into their own as they did things their own ways and was a separate entity.
You get what you pay for. After the CIO or CEO calls and gets someone in India asking if to restart his home PC or they loose $2,000,000 in outage to save $40,000 in salary they quickly reverse.
Unfortunately there are no other choices besides Microsoft and Amazon's cloud DynoDB. Actually Amazon's Cloud DB might not be solid for conservatives enterprises yet. Microsoft while not as evil or aggressive as Oracle is not cheap nor always friendly either. Oracle has soo much financial reporting garbage tied to their products that Microsoft doesn't even have that will require new software rewrites.
What an ugly mess.
No geeks Mysql is not the same thing nor close so don't bother bringing that up as these large customers use financial and AI reporting tools and APIs and not just simple SQL statements.
Last I checked Linux has vulnerabilities too that any competent administrator would patch. FYI I have seen SuSE services use for hosting phishing sites with the customer not having any idea due to a rootkit.
Rootkits were invented on Unix. Where do you think the term ROOT came from?
Roundup is approved for organic vegetables in the US and Canada. My exwife's immune system can't handle American bread as a result of her immune system going haywire. She can eat European bread fan just fine.

I have a team in Bangalore that has C++ experience plus every framework for e-commerce in existence

Oh Really?
What you see is JavaScript using multi-threads but all your tabs still use one big thread where one can freeze up the rest.

A child starves to death every 30 seconds thanks to Capitalism
For having an i7 that has 8 cores but not 16 threads? Is the i9 the new i7?
How many cores do you need for facebook, yahoo mail and netflix? /s
If you are buying an i9 or i7 just to browse the net you are doing it wrong.

Right because Linux is so perfect and secure and never has been hacked before or needs patching.
Last I checked Linux has vulnerabilities too that any competent administrator would patch. FYI I have seen SuSE services use for hosting phishing sites with the customer not having any idea due to a rootkit.
Rootkits were invented on Unix. Where do you think the term ROOT came from?
Oh come on. This is slashdot where I see IT professionals proudly say they don't patch with a smile.
I want to say told ya so.
Therefore it's slow like Java and Python. That's not a bad thing if your app is I/o bound or quick development time is more of a priority.
But it failed it's goal of overtaking Java and Python if it's JIT compiled as you might as well use them instead
Here is a citation that shows glyphosates are toxic and should go NOWHERE NEAR are food: https://www.scientificamerican...
It has been scientifically proven through Monsantos own documents which is how they lost in court.
The EU has already banned it and here is a citation: https://www.scientificamerican...

Thanks Monsanto
Funny. The fact that it DOESN'T have a ribbon is why I don't want to use it.
I moved on 10 years ago and can't live without out it now as I can see my functions without navigating 3 layers of nested Word 2003 menus.
