I love how they play up their serial entrepreneur business creds when their actual history is: fail-fail-fail-fail-lottery-fail-fail-fail-fail.
Works that way in other environments too. For example, applying for academic funding two times and getting it each time counts as "less experienced" than somebody applying 5 times and getting it only once. Happened to me. The level of stupidity expressed in this is staggering.
There is no need for that. Most adult women are perfectly capable to say "no" as forcefully as needed and, if necessary, back that up with a full-armed slap to the face. That usually resolves the problem nicely.
Very much this. It has gotten to bad that, for example, "web programmers" have no clue how the web works. I just had to explain to a bunch of them after they had debugged a "problem" for several days how a relative link works. These are people with 3-5 years of "experience" in that role. And this is just one example.
I do agree that the total number of competent people in tech is stable, but we are getting less effective because the morons are standing in our way at every corner. It is a disaster.
Well, my suggestion would be to not go to a panel where a known aggressive and self-absorbed asshole is in the panel. Ignoring these people robs them of what the thrive on: Attention.
Hahahaha, no. All the morons that use this PoS get what they deserve: Bad networking, bad USB, bad, sensitive I/O lines, bad thermal behavior, and a lot more design fails that an actual engineer would never have made. The only thing they did well is marketing.
Pretty accurate. Building infrastructure and safety-nets is not socialism in any way. It just shows the level of ignorance of most US citizens that they think it is.
Law enforcement is not a service for the people. Its main task is to keep the population in check. As the population is too stupid to recognize what is going on, letting crime continue actually benefits law enforcement. (Yes, I realize we are not fully there yet, but the global trend way into a full-blown police-states is pretty clear.)
Sure... except that systemd has been around for seven years. It's not maturing because it's always expanding.
And that is just it: They are making one of the worst beginners mistakes. And that they are still beginners after 7 years shows that there is something fundamentally wrong with them. The usual explanation is incompetence coupled with arrogance, and it does seem to fit well here. The incompetence makes them beginners and the arrogance prevents them from learning. In addition, they are also uneducated, as Brooks described the things they are doing wrong about 40 years ago.
I will certainly not help a project that was fundamentally broken from the start, because its main developers are known incompetents with bad personalities that do not understand the Unix-philosophy at all. If I want to run something made by clueless morons, I just boot Windows, no need to replicate the same lack of understanding on Linux.
Incompetence coupled with extreme arrogance. The same old story all over again, although the morons that decided that systemd is ready for mainstream usage are the truly "special" ones here. There are a lot of incompetent coders out there and the Poettering-cabal was _known_ to be incompetent before, but instead of simply ignoring this broken mess and the cretins behind it, they had to make it the default init-system and apparently now default everything else.
I believe it is that they have by now gotten away with so many bad decisions, crappy design and broken implementation, that they think they cannot be touched. Considering the extreme stupidity evident in the adoption of systemd as main init system in many distros, they have a point.
Ahahahahahahaha, nice one! You do mean this satirically, right? Because otherwise you would ignore overwhelming evidence that all this security theater has no relevant effect except inconveniencing travelers and keeping people out that are not dangerous but have opinions the US administration does not like.

Yes, a great victory for... basically nobody.

Do they maybe live in the UK?
Funny. All your rant shows is your ignorance.
Fits.
Seriously? This award cannot have anything to do with real engineering....
I got one. Wished the caller a speedy and painful death and they never called again. Maybe I got my wish...

Indeed. Not unlike a slow-growing cancer.
That or never even opening an account is the only sane way to deal with this crap.
Suicide attacks are not done by "opportunists".
Why would I try to do something _this_ stupid?
I do not even need to comment on this. You made it amply clear who the idiot here actually is.
Fascinating. It really does not get much more clueless than this.
That graph is the infant graph of every project

We have the most issues! Other projects cannot compete, so sad.
