I deleted my Linked In after getting endless recruiters and head hunters that didn't even read my resume and just blindly sent out requests.
I have 10 years in industry in a very niche market and I'll get jobs in manufacturing or other random area that just require a Mechanical Engineering degree.
It got to the point where I'd have boilerplate nastygram about actually reading my resume and getting back to me.
A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system. It derives much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, and peripheral and file system access. Device drivers are either integrated directly with the kernel or added as modules loaded while the system is running.
Other people in this thread have already point out that the direction systemd is headed will leave us with 2 binaries: The kernel and systemd. What next, systemd incorporates a mysql server?
Packages from Debian Unstable enter the next-stable testing distribution automatically, when a list of requirements is fulfilled:
The package has been in "unstable" at least for 2-10 days (depending on the urgency of the upload).
The package has been built for all the architectures which the present version in testing was built for.
Installing the package into testing will not make the distribution more uninstallable.
The package does not introduce new release critical bugs.
There are definitely some systemd bugs that would be considered 'critical release' bugs, including a new one on Fedora that randomly makes folders RO such that daemons and services can't start.
most, if not all of my systemd-units on a dozen of servers using constructs like below to make the whole tree/var/lib readonly and the needed subfolder RW which is now broken in Fedora 21 and kills all my setups
And what makes debugging even more fun is it does it randomly too:
I can confirm Harald's report at DigitalOcean F21 x86_64. It happens on root login, but *not* every time.
There's a difference between This package broke a small test case" and "A large number of users are having problems across the board"
If Debian developers were following their own rules systemd would have never made it out of unstable or experimental. It was certainly not ready for testing.
SystemD is fucked up by design. Do one thing. Do it right.
Now they're taking a separate, barely updated UEFI bootloader and shoehorning it in as well. They would have been a bit better of at least starting from Grub2.
I assume you know that testing is a development branch and is supposed to break,
No, it's not "supposed to break". Heck I ran unstable for years and only had 1 serious problem in all that time. If you really want crazy go to experimental.
Testing is for hashing out deep and difficult bugs not "This is a complete POS"
I don't think the true "PowerGlove" successor has come yet.
A smart glove like this could turn any ordinary squeeze ball into a chording keyboard. With Google Glass and other similar technologies chording keyboards and wearable tech would work for rapid next input without voice. Anyone that has played GuitarHero knows how a chording keyboard can work.
It would actually be a perfect device for simulating the EPA test cycle. It would be a perfect way to sell it legally. The EPA cycle is "the" test for cars in the US so there are plenty of professionals that would love a tool. Some simulation software starts at $5k/license. (CANalyzer). No one says you have to sell your device with 'encryption' so that the EPA cycle would be replaced with whatever cycle you wanted.
And maybe someone would then finally make a legitimate cheap CAN/ODBBluetooth reader instead of clones of clones or a chip that is ages old to read data as well. USBCAN cables from good vendors start at $500 even though the functionality is built into a lot of new chips.
I don't want something else that my computer has to interpret. Do all the compiling before it shows up on my computer so that I don't have to deal with this: http://i.imgur.com/b2uUrIL.png
Even "JIT" compilers start to suck when you have a few dozen of them running at the same time.
IMDB ratings are a complete and utter waste of time
Which is why it is relevant that the movie came out in 2009. After time they settle. Unless you're going to argue that "Shawshank Redemption" is just living on studio PR?
Perhaps if everyone else thought the movie was good your nieces and nephew just have bad taste. It was also a great book and highly rated by teachers.
You might want to use a different example for your first one:
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has 7.0/10 on IMDB (after 5 years), got an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, 66 on MetaCritic (with an average user score of 7.6),
It was a good movie.
"This is the End" was also pretty good with a 6.9/83%/67/7.1 (respectively).
Slashdot Mirror
The only thing that my company will let slide is something that has absolutely nothing to do with their core business.
Say my company makes cars and trucks. If I invent a better breastpump for my wife they really won't care.
But if I start a small startup like Tesla I'm hosed.

It WAS that way:

Have you tried it on a stable OS release that has systemd?
You mean like Fedora/RH which has 4 'urgent' severity bugs with systemd
Including one where systemd breaks Keyboard shortcuts handling in text virtual consoles on Redhat Enterprise Linux.
If you lower the bar to "high" priority you get some fun ones like:
Unable to boot when systemd's LogTarget is set to syslog-or-kmsg or syslog on RHEL7. (The devs left it at "Ok, dropping log messages even just from systemd itself isn't probaly a best way, but wee need more time for investigation." in September 2014).
reboot or shutdown commands unresponsive during systemd-fsck
systemd stuck when auto-mouting volume for NFS
Systemd doesn't unmount all devices before calling reboot/halt and thus corrupts a clean RAID1
These aren't "oops, I can't play MP3" level bugs.
To quote Debian:
How Debian Testing Works
Packages from Debian Unstable enter the next-stable testing distribution automatically, when a list of requirements is fulfilled:
There are definitely some systemd bugs that would be considered 'critical release' bugs, including a new one on Fedora that randomly makes folders RO such that daemons and services can't start.
I would call that a 'critical release bug'.
Wow, I had to go look for myself and you're right RedHat/Fedora has ironed out ALL the bugs with systemd
This one is a few weeks old
most, if not all of my systemd-units on a dozen of servers using constructs like below to make the whole tree /var/lib readonly and the needed subfolder RW which is now broken in Fedora 21 and kills all my setups
And what makes debugging even more fun is it does it randomly too:

Or you could just do it with a cheap uC board these days. These guys are building a engine EFI controller with a $14 circuit board as the base. Even having to spoof their own messages With an ODB/CAN simulator you could easily
And maybe someone would then finally make a legitimate cheap CAN/ODBBluetooth reader instead of clones of clones or a chip that is ages old to read data as well. USBCAN cables from good vendors start at $500 even though the functionality is built into a lot of new chips.
When a computational package designed to manipulate massive data sets uses less RAM than facebook I kind of think we're doing something wrong.
save time writing 3 versions,
Did I say write 3 versions? Just do all of the JIT compiling NOT on my computer.
JIT to pre-compiled
That's the point. Why are we using the battery power of thousands of tiny little ARM devices to compile something that could have been compiled once?
When you boot your Laptop do you recompile everything just so you can grab the source daily?
So use it like html5 video and have javascript backup.
script x64="uselessWidgetJavascript.x64" x32="uselessWidgetJavascript.x86" javascript="uselessWidgetJavascript.js"
If you lumped 90% of all internet devices on the web they'd probably fall under x86, x64, & ARM.
Additionally Apple has figured out how to do fat binaries.
script type="x64"

Agreed. I can't open more than a few javascript heavy pages without this happening: http://i.imgur.com/b2uUrIL.png
All of those tabs have terrible javascript trying to give me a decent Web 2.0 experience.
You underestimate my laziness.
After a decade of only knowing Nano/pico I'm picking up Vi because I'm too lazy to install it on FreeBSD.
Matlab is a dead end if you use it for statistics.
Matlab is not a dead end if you use it for a ton of other stuff that there are toolboxes for.
I've used matlab at work for almost a decade and never come close to using it for something R was good at.
If your Xmas was ruined by not being able to play computer games maybe you should find more hobbies.
Xbox down? Go out side.
I remember when the iPhone was released and people said the same thing.
Google is sitting on a mountain of IP for both projects. Some companies look a bit beyond next quarter's results.
I wish I could go into my job. Do something once and get paid for it forever.
You've still sold a user a book. They still have your book. They just skipped by the scanning every page part.

DS9 was great with the philosophical questions.
I wish we'd explore more into the quadrants than "lets reset the clock and start over"
