Not for RedHat. Say goodbye to the workstation market and all science and engineering software on a platform that has thrown X away and doesn't let users run scripts for days at a time without killing them off. It's worth noting that the only people with a clue about what Wayland actually does that are pushing Wayland are ones working in the phone and tablet spaces. Nice for them - sucks for the rest of us yet people keep on trying to shove it down our throats.
Lennart is too young to have read "The Cathedral and Bazaar" when it came out. He comes from an MS Windows background so never knew the Bazaar idea existed and has no patience with people who try to suggest it does. That's why things like persistent user processes in the background (about chapter three in most scripting books) is just not something he sees as being something that should exist.
It's been confirmed as factual by a large number of product name translation fuckups alone It's been confirmed by a very large number of software testing fuckups alone. It's been confirmed by a lot of people outsourcing to another countries without having someone who understands a bit about that other country inhouse resulting in obvious fuckups or being scammed outright.
If you don't have anybody that can relate to the people you are trying to sell to or otherwise deal with then you are in for a world of pain. A massive number of dotbomb failures really came down to that. What seemed like a fantastic idea to a little club that all thought the same was impossible for them to market to enough people for it to be viable. A few changes and wider appeal is all they needed.
You really seem to be pushing that mental illness angle very hard. How about a serious discussion of the topic instead of some very strange and pathetic game?
It's an industry wide problem that has been getting worse for decade in a feedback loop. Word about women not getting jobs got around so as you've described they are not even trying in some situations. It's been very strange watching indoor "womens work" of sitting typing at a keyboard, or applied math in general, turn into a complete sausage fest.
Actually this is new and is about clearing up all of the doubts around the other times and explains the expansion last year. The other stuff was dumbed down headline.
Anyway my entire point was really just backing yours up and adding detail. The "fact" you mentioned is a trend from interviewers choosing based on similar personalities instead of demonstrated competence. The more inexperienced the interviewer the more likely they will mistake someone they would like to talk to at a BBQ for someone who can get shit done.
lots of people saying they would hire a woman over a more talented man
So they say, but it doesn't seem to be happening because the gap is widening. I've seen a higher percentage of women in mining, oil refining, power stations and foundries than I've seen lately in IT. Very weird.
That's fine for a club, but for getting shit done? Pointless. For designing stuff that people are going to use? Dangerous. Assumptions that everyone thinks like those inside your little club are going to trip you up and you may end up with a product that a lot of people either do not want or do not know how to use. If you want to sell stuff to people outside your little club then you need a bit of insight outside of the little club - apart from the obvious that trying to get talent in a tiny pool is hard.
Interviewers tend to prefer people who are a lot like them. That's a trap for the inexperienced. Sadly a lot of HR people never get out of that trap and you end up with monocultures instead of the people with the best skillset.
So you all like the same football team at work? Well that's nice but how does it help with getting the job done?
At what point do we simply accept what is blatantly obvious: there is, by and large, no "bias" against women in the tech sector
We accept it at the point when it is no longer "blatantly obvious" that the bias is happening.
I really don't get why you are pretending that such a thing is not happening. Are you insecure and worried about someone taking your job so wish to cut down on the competition? Well you shouldn't be since the number of women in tech has been diminishing dramatically in the last few decades to the point where you can go to an IT conference and be in a room with over a hundred men and no women.
You should be a lot more honest about this. It's a liberty issue after all. If you have a daughter that shows interest and aptitude in programming surely you want her to be able to get somewhere in a real meritocracy instead of being increasingly locked out due to the "bro" culture or whatever juvenile shit is currently going on.
Please stop pretending that you are far too stupid to understand that "They want lots of control in the bedroom and of peoples sex lives in general" is referring to a lot more than sodomy. Your post above is not even funny. Pretended mental illness rarely is.
The beige box is now the "hard drive". To the Romans decimate was killing one in ten, to journalists today it means killing a lot more than one in ten.
You ignored the big one and got it wrong - REPRODUCTION. "Conservatives" really like to fuck with laws around that.
Please, I would love for you to point to anyone trying to pass modern anti sodomy laws.
There were still people going to jail for that when I started university. Many of the "conservatives" pushing various bedroom red tape are much older than I am.
Whichever executive ordered the techs to write such code would never work again
Unfortunately "should" replaces "would". Even Oliver North who gave classified anti-tank weapons to Islamic terrorists who had killed over a hundred US Marines less than a year previously got other jobs - for instance his current one as one of the people running the NRA. Well connected Execs who carry out what should be career ending movies often get a parachute out of there and have no trouble finding another high profile position.
It's not that easy. There is not a lot being produced on earth by natural means and the artificial means require a lot of work to build stuff before energy is applied.
It's perfectly accurate for "conservative" governments. They want lots of control in the bedroom and of peoples sex lives in general but want business, white collar crime etc left alone. They want to control every fucking thing but scream about freedom over controls on property, commerce etc.
The reason we don't have cameras hidden everywhere is that you have to provide power and a communication channel
The same method Theremin used for his passively powered audio bug in the gifted "great seal" in the Berlin Embassy (hadn't anyone there heard of the Trojan Horse?) would work with low powered video cameras today. With fractal antennas as in mobile phones a very long antenna can be very compact. Remember the suspicious "rock" that fit the bill and was in the news a few years ago? Google "rock bug spy" for details.
True, but it's annoying how much of a big deal the summary makes about "hand drawn" technical drawings and it's definitely not equivalent to a "napkin sketch". Not very long before 1992 I was using a pencil, paper and drawing board as well because of a shortage of CAD workstations where I was.
That this is going to court at all is still a sign of multiple fuckups with patents. I also had the idea of something like a smartphone back then but I'd picked it up from fiction like masses of others that thought about it - it's a trivial passing thought unless you do something serious about it to make the idea reality. Patents are supposed to be about implementations of ideas and not just a vague description of something that would be nice to have.
Since Cisco bought them out after they were successful than neither did they really. Cisco owns the stuff they signed over and the Cisco stuff afterwards but does not own the people forever like slaves.
"Dominion Tank Police" and "Ghost in the Shell" by the same author explore that point of view at times but "Zettai Seigi Love Pheromone", part of "Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge", had it very overtly as a catch cry of one of the heroes.
It has the superheroine duo "Love Pheromone" causing mass destruction and spreading fear in the fight against evil. Meanwhile the Hokke sisters wish to follow their deceased parents demonic imp advisor to become "excellent evil" but their supernatural plots end up helping people. The "evil" bunch are not so keen on using evil means to reach the evil ends, while the "good" bunch don't care what is done to get a result. It ends up being funnier than it sounds.
Or someone intimidated by the guy with the gun. Or somebody about to miss a connecting flight. Or somebody who wants to get back in line so he can be back with his kids before the TSA gropes the kids as they have been known to do. Or...
The answer is not to be defiant and get put in a cage for refusing to act as if you are already in a cage - the answer is to stop these fuckers from abusing their overwhelming power in the first place. You chose to act like a slave by flying in the current environment anyway. This current overstepping of the bounds is just a new symptom.

I doubt the masking is perfect - thus the "Uncanny Valley" of subtle things not being quite right making people uneasy.

See Volkswagen (and GM before them) for another example of taking a gamble that the gains would be greater than possible punishment.

I'm one of those evil people who left school and used some of the things I had learned for personal enrichment.
So are you.
It's an extremely stupid argument to make especially since networking is about published standards and not trade secrets.
