LLVM tbaa honestly seems so straight-forward and not language-specific... actually you're the one who taught me this!

I mean how many ways can you describe one-to-many aliasing relations?
At my first hackathon I had entirely opposite experience. Though it was not less disappointing.

Most of the teams came with something pre-made and tried to fit it to the theme of the event. And one team was pitching their startup. Of course all of them were good at pitching, but implementation-wise they were ahead of "hackers" too even not touching their keyboards...

Hmm -- I didn't think dolphin airways were connected to their digestive system.
I would say the bastardization here is the addition of Quake Champions, instead of the commitment to Quake Live. We want Quake Remastered, not Overwatch: Quake Edition.

Bethesda became convinced years ago that the reason people stopped playing Quake Live was because of the lack of variety, or something like that. They never listened to those of us screaming at the top of our collective lungs that the menus are horrible, and it takes forever to find a game, especially with friends. It's that simple. And now we have Quake Champions.
Sad to see this. But also glad to see a less fragmented Linux desktop. I've always stuck with Gnome but the video in Mark's announcement looks pretty good. I guess it's true what they say - A system is never a popular as the day it is decommissioned.

I hope they can also align their release schedule with the Gnome team. I want to be on the latest desktop and get access to all the new features as they come out - not six months later.

> how on earth someone choose rpm over first class Superior Debian package system

So, what makes the Debian package system superior? Having built multiple specs in the past, but not any debs, I'm curious. Given that you can often convert debs to RPMs and vice-versa, and can use the different package managers on either type of repository, it's not obvious where one has any specific benefit.
When to Build and When to Buy
If you interview somewhere and feel that the questions are arbitrary or capricious -- that's a good thing. They just put up a giant red flag so you know not to work there.

I can't help feeling like it's a cargo-cult type thing. People saw Google's interview questions in the early 2000's, noticed how successful Google's recruiting was, and have been poorly imitating the process ever since in an attempt to get the same results.
No, I am referring to Stallman's view on free software. See below. Software free to download vs "free software" from a license PoV aren't necessarily the same. Redhat's products are best to describe as open source software.

it's bad only if that's the company you want to take to $1 billion scale.

what if you don't have hot shot VC buddies from princeton, and didn't go to stanford, and need to make $1m in cash to do your real business idea? all of a sudden doing paid features for an open source project or doing consulting sounds like a fantastic idea because that will get you to $1m, almost guaranteed (if you're generally capable)

Cool thread, very inspiring! No one else? :-)
These questions don't seem all that unreasonable to me in and of themselves. I've barely used Scala and could answer a few of them. Several of them are prominent questions I immediately had the first time I read Scala code (e.g., the difference between classes and objects). I was able to guess at a few others from my Haskell knowledge. I have no doubt I'd encounter all the questions if I actually used Scala non-trivially.

With that said, I'm not sure if these questions are actually useful:

(1) They're pretty basic. Any good programmer could get up to speed with all these aspects of Scala in a week, possibly less. So you're not gaining anything by filtering candidates based on whether they already know this. In fact, you're wasting valuable interview time asking very low-value questions.

(2) If you really do need a Scala expert, these questions can't identify such a person.
This actually gave me a bad taste until I read your comment, now I'm wondering if that exact situation might be a positive. Maybe it's a plus if they can say "We're hiding your ads, but here's an alternative" rather than simply "We're hiding your ads", full-stop.

I was in high school in the late 90s, and had absolutely no interest in college, at all. Not in medieval history, not in women's studies, certainly not in STEM, nothing. I just wanted to graduate HS and go learn a trade or something, and do music on the side. I never wanted to set foot in a classroom again. As dumb as that sounds, that's what I wanted to do.

I got so much shit from my parents and teachers. Not going to college was unacceptable. You HAD to go, it didn't matter what you majored in or how much it cost. People who go to college get good jobs and join the country club, people who don't wind up in jail or something. I'm not exaggerating, that was the message.

Of course that's just my experience, but for whatever that's worth, OP's experience is definitely consistent with mine.

Can you shed some more light on why the Tatas should be mentioned in the article?

As far as I can tell from Part 1 of the article which is posted, the discussion is more of society's use of Opium through the latter part of the millennia. It doesn't go into any specific purveyor of opium products except for the regulation and subsequent clandestine production after prohibition.

> By Regulation XIII of 1816, opium cultivation was legalised in Bengal under the supervision of the Commercial Resident of Rungpore. The control of the Opium Department went from the Board of Revenue in the Customs, Salt and the Opium Departments by the Regulation IV of 1819. In 1850, by Act XLIV, the Customs, Salt and Opium Board was merged in the Board of Revenue at Calcutta. In 1797, prohibition was imposed on the private cultivation of poppy in Bengal proper and in Behar division of the province. It was then that the attention of the Government proper was being met by ‘systematic smuggling and clandestine production’

I am really curious about the Tata family role in this that you allude to. Please elaborate.

If code quality is an issue, at least people who want an open-source phone OS can work on fixes:

https://source.tizen.org/

I don't see many other options emerging. It's possible that a community-led effort to finish work on Unity 8 (and possibly port it to Wayland) may emerge, but that would only solve the phone UI issue, the main problem holding back open-source phones is likely to be closed bootloaders and lack of drivers. By supporting Tizen we can get Samsung to handle the low level stuff.
Yes, it depends on VirtualBox. But there are versions for KVM, and for Qubes. More of a nonstarter, though. Or even using physical devices, such as Raspberry or Banana Pi.

Years ago, I created a LiveDVD with VirtualBox plus Whonix gateway and workstation VMs. I had to hack at both Whonix VMs to reduce size and RAM requirements. But I got a LiveDVD that would run with 8GB RAM. It took maybe 20 minutes to boot, but was quite responsive.

The reason for the Green Card backlog is that no single country can take more than 5% of the immigrant visas in a given year. The purpose of that is to ensure that no single country dominates US permanent immigration simply due to population size.

If we got rid of the country-level restriction, then we'd just be pushing other potential immigrants from other countries to the back of line.
I feel like services like speakerdeck encourage this type of bad behavior, as people are trying to build decks that can be flipped through after the actual presentation. A deck that presents well with a speaker to a live audience != a deck you can read on your own and follow easily.

They should at the very least have a spot for expanded speaker notes on those sites.

Yes, support and peace of mind. Packages that make it into their repository are fully tested and supported by RH. Almost all of them are old but they are pretty much guaranteed stable and Red Hat will support the software until the EOL of whichever RH version you are running, even if the developers of the package do not support a version of the package anymore.

2012 Samsung series 9 (15")

I really love my laptop, but it's getting old. I think I'd be happy with another samsung, but am not totally sure.

Pros:

+Thin + Light/small bezels on the display

+upgradable ram (came with 8gb, I have 16gb in it now).

+great trackpad/keyboard (only now the 'a' key feels weird, but only after 5 years, so I'm not super upset about that).

+Linux support is good (it didn't start out perfect, things like keyboard backlight only started working like 2-3 years ago, but it's great now).

cons:

-battery life isn't that great. I get a few hours (~2.5-ish? I never checked).

-screen is 1600x900, I'd prefer a 1080p panel. The new ones are 1080p

-ssd is really really slow. like spinning disk slow.

I don’t believe the downvotes are justified, but it the message you quoted specifies that you need to be on the _latest_ version of Chrome—which you weren't.
> Some requirements mean a lot of code to change. Some requirements require almost none.

My point is ultimately marketing/finance/administration people do not know, fundamentally, what is a lot of code and what isn't. That's knowledge for programmers. https://xkcd.com/1425/

> What will happen is the "mostly talking, with fairly obvious code changes" part of the job will get absorbed into other roles.

There is no such thing as "obvious code changes".

> Marketing, support, finance, they'll just do that coding themselves.

Never happen.

> Or do I want to drop the "programmer" title, still do some coding, and move to marketing/support/finance alongside other "non-progeammers" who are doing a decent amount of high level programming.

My software team develops all the software for the marketing, finance, HR, and support departments. They are deeply involved in the design of their products (some departments more than others) but ultimately none of them can or want to program. Even basic SQL is beyond the skills of most them -- although we encourage anyone with interest to do their own queries.

You massively under-estimate the skill and experience involved in even the most basic programming tasks. Programming, version control, deployment, database design, systems design, etc. These people have their own professions with their own issues to deal with.

Flatpak seems more limited in scope as documents say:

> Can Flatpak be used on servers too?
Flatpak is designed to run inside a desktop session and relies on certain session services, such as a dbus session bus and a systemd --user instance. This makes Flatpak not a good match for a server.

Whereas Snap documents say:

Package any app for every Linux desktop, server, cloud or device, and deliver updates directly.

What I don't understand is Shuttleworth basically said "the market has spoken, and does not want an Ubuntu phone." But I checked their website a few times a year to see if I could buy an Ubuntu phone and always saw a message about "Coming soon" or "sold out". How was the market supposed to get their hands on Ubuntu phone?
That might be true for net flows, but it seems that German production does not meet demand at nights very often, as per these statistics: https://www.energy-charts.de/power.htm . I do think that situation will get worse with increased PV installations, as they don't produce during nights. Grid storage is going to be needed.

Of course it's an open market and the German expensive production such as gas turbines will not produce if cheaper power can be imported.

The only question with micro payments is privacy. Otherwise it is no different from the current situation where majority of people are constantly logged in to Facebook or Google.

Having a fixed identity is not desirable from multiple perspectives. It allows others to create a personal bubble around you and feed you with controlled information.

When users can not be uniquely identified then Internet compares to the radio where you can be sure that every listener will receive the same information as you do. This means that users can not be individually deceived.
Redhat's code is Free software, actually. The page you link simply says they don't follow the free software distribution guidelines (and thus are not endorsed by the FSF/GNU project) because they also allow non-free software in their repos.

GNOME has solved in a radical way by simplifying menus, so you need neither search nor frequent mouse/keyboard navigation.
