The #2 developer of systemd has been banned from contributing to the kernel. The #1 developer of systemd was the main developer of PulseAudio-- does generate much confidence. He has also just given the finger to the OSS community--makes me wonder why he doesn't do Macs or Windows. It is being given control over critical services such as TTY and networking. It is hard for the average techie to audit it, given it's nature. Little access to a lot of tools: valgrind, strace, ftrace.
This does not make me feel very good about systemd.
I will admit there are two things still missing. A decent document format, that allows annotations. PDF comes close but doesn't quite cut it. Ubiquity with digitizers in tablets.
I have a tex file that I can generate a pdf notebook of n blank pages, where I choose n. Things like forms, well even a secretary can modify an existing form.
Job instructions can be kept in text files that can be pushed to tablets. Guaranteeing that every person has updated instructions.
Systemd has been in production a fairly long time now, and I see no issues at all brought up about it in actual practice. RHEL's mailing list has nary a mention of it. It just works and works well.
Right, because the Kay Sievers wasn't banned from contributing to the kernel because systemD prevented the kernel from loading in debug mode.
Actually this comes at a interesting time for me. I am looking for an LED lamp. Basicallly something that can focus bright light on something or provide low ambient light for a work area. I found some interesting lamps ( uncluding "solar powered" lamps --Wha? ), many even poweredc by USB.
The thing is when I look at reviews I often read things like " was great for the first two/three/four months, then just died.".
The show you wanted to watch for that real psychedelic experience you needed to watch one of variants of the BJ and Dirty Dragon Show. Now that was bizarre!
When Bruce Perens was getting questions from slashdot, I asked whether Obamacare should have mandated the use of open source software.
He replied with some BS answer about how great Obamacare is because his children with preexisting conditions can now become independent contractors.
I admit that modifying the system so that healthcare is not tied to your job is a good thing, but it shows how pathetic and how much greed has pervaded politics.
He should have instead focused on what the question was about: requiring open protocols, and open software as a part of Obamacare would go a great way to alleviating cost problems in certain sectors.
Make no mistake that I think that companies should not make money developing medical software, but they should not be making artificially large amounts of money by erecting proprietary walls.
It reminds me of the early days of black holes. Einstein, Weyl etc. knew there were degenerate solutions of the Einstein Equations. Einstein went on to prove that radially collapsing material could never form a black hole. At the same time Oppenheimer was proving that rotating stars would form black holes.
My proceedure for weekly security updates for my computer is: download all packages to be upgraded, then reboot into maintenance mode and physically install them. Basically I run LMDE (debian unstable mostly).
I occasionally check the downloads and see a strange package being downloaded. So I look up the dependencies, and see some of the most bizarre dependencies. For example, that KDE requires CUPS ( I don't have a usable printer ).
So instead of worrying about what needs to be installed first clean up all the dependencies so you don't install packages you don't need or want.

The problem is that they realize they are electrons and not so massive way too soon.

Do you pay any attention to what is going on around you? Poettering wasn't calling out Linus he was calling out critics of shittyd ... that is systemd

Two hard drive docks are cheaper. ( In case one fails. )
Then as many internal harddrives for backup as you need.
I haven't turned on my printer in 5 years.
The future of printing is that tablets will make it obsolete,
Really.
How did you get setup with such a sweet job? Do you have to use your blood to sign the contract?
Using slide rules for your calculations does not make you a luddite either.

He wrote PulseAudio which I had to live with for several years.
Or offices with dozens of typewriters which the sound was based on. People use to work in those offices all the time. Get over it.
They should be giving the Nobel Prize to the guys inventing these!

Wars work better.
It might be hard to sue the employer but he could sue Comcast for tortuous interference.
go work for Apple. Oh wait Apple wouldn't have you. Microsoft then.
Yeah I look forward to the day that happens.
I don't know. Certainly he doesn't deserve what is being dealt to him, but I find it a stretch to call him one of the more competent
It does if by competent you mean start a project, convince enough people to make it standard in linux distros then leave it half finished...
The problem is those competitors are hiring in China and India. While being a capitalist at heart, I recognize this as a flaw with capitialism.
Nah. Those were moderate.

Now that virtual currencies are getting some traction, Gates waqnts to jump in so he can get credit for being an early backer.

When I first read the headline ti came out as "underwear landslide" not a pretty picture.
