Linux kernel developer (process scheduling)

In the SUSE Labs department, we are looking for a kernel developer with experience in subsystems related to process management, such as the scheduler, PREEMPT_RT, locking and signal handling. You will develop and maintain the in-kernel process scheduling infrastructure, as well as tracing and debugging infrastructure (ptrace, ftrace, signal handling, ...), both in the SUSE enterprise products and upstream. You will also work with the PREEMPT_RT community on the RealTime patchset to the Linux kernel, with an ultimate goal of having PREEMPT_RT support directly available in mainline kernel.

How to apply

Preferably, submit all relevant information in a single PDF file, so that no important detail is lost in transit. Give us some time to process your application. Expect the interview to be done over phone. Form submission for this position at https://jobs.suse.com/job/nuremberg/kernel-developer-process...

Well, the key feature is not that they are ignorant of the economics, it's that they have no control over the process, or what decisions are made on their behalf!

When two, incomplete, reactors account for 18% of rates while delivering 0% of the power, the bad decisions were made back when it was thought that gambling even 6% of the electric rate on one resource.

$9B on 2.2GW of generation capacity could have bought 36GWh of energy storage at current lithium ion prices. Match that with solar and HVDC to import wind on regionally cloudy days, and then even if the project "fails" they have some grid capabilities to show. Here, there is nothing.

The author of this article works at the University of Arkansas. I used to live 20 miles from there, and when we needed to "straighten" my son's teeth, we ended up checking out an orthodontist who has been influenced by the new school of thought that is emerging in Australia and Europe on dealing with orthodontic issues.

We ended up settling on a regimen of jaw exercises combined with a device known as a "Myobrace". I was initially very, very skeptical, and was concerned about the lack of rigorous scientific studies conducted on the practice. However, the more I researched the science, the more I became open to giving it a try.

Within 6 months, my son's jaw had widened, and his teeth were mostly straight. I was honestly shocked by how effective the treatment was. It's now been almost 18 months, and the before and after photos are shocking.

He wears the appliance while sleeping, and then during the day (we use the strategy of him doing it whenever he is watching tv or playing Xbox) we have him do jaw exercises with and without the appliance in.

The focus has been on expanding his jaw, and the side effect of this is straightened teeth. Pretty fascinating stuff.
Last time I was in Amsterdam the people who clean up the metro stations were on strike. I didn't know this and I was thinking, "Wow! I really expected things to be cleaner than this." It was quite a mess the whole week I was there. That said, away from the stations things seemed very well kept.
Why not? Most people giving presentations at non-academic conferences are complete neophytes anymore. And people often pay for that priviledge...

You are right. But still, I will believe it when I see it.
With text-only webs over 5MB I wouldn't expect less from mobile apps.
Yeah it is a problem, and so far the way most companies fixed this issue is by releasing a 'lite' version which of course is probably not feature complete but will be significantly faster to update and load.

If you are on a good network you probably won't ever notice such bloat until you run out of disk space or bust your download limit (Canada)

If I find an app to be too big for my taste I normally fall back to the web version if it exist at all but even then its hit or miss because sometimes the web app is pure complete garbage or worse than the app itself.
Startups and Small Cities: A Perfect Match? By Tom Goldenberg
The FCC's comments and all their interactions with the public since Ajit Pai has taken over honestly sound like what I would say to someone who I know has no idea about how technology works and I screwed up but I don't want them to know. I'm surprised we haven't heard about BSODs and exchange emails being lost or hard drives accidentally wiped after two days as is policy.

It's pretty clear that he's trying to pull the wool over our eyes and because the tech press has gone from being actual journalists to just eating up PR pieces and worrying about access so much that they refuse to do any real investigations, we're left with no one who appears credible to the public to actually do the investigation and publicize the wrong-doing.

What does the difference between SegWit and SegWit2x amount to? Is it just the difference in block size limit? As I understand, they’re practically in agreement on the limit, but not exactly, thus risking a fork because of a relatively tiny discrepancy.
That is very curious. Wonder what would drive them to keep that name if everything else changed.
And why is that bad?
Folding the clothes and putting them away is the big issue for me.
I remember when apps used to take less than 4k of memory, because 4k was all the RAM in your computer.

Then I remember downloading a 3 MB mp3 on my 9600 baud modem and being amazed at how much space was taken up by music that sounded realistic and not like just a bunch of beeps out of speakers that could only make beeps.

Then came the old joke about EMACS standing for "Eight Megs and Constantly Swapping".

Then I remember noticing that commercial software like games filled up a full CD's worth of space (back when software was distributed by physical CD's). After that it was common to ship software as multiple CD's, then multiple DVDs.

Now, is software even shipped on DVDs anymore? I just download everything, and, yeah, apps are still bloating, same as ever.
In my opinion this article is completely wrong. There were problems with many early reactors. Now there is much exciting design work on fission reactors especially using Thorium and fusion options are showing promise. If you look at energy source development over the long term then nuclear power is looking exceptionally strong now. If anything keeping older iterations operating beyond their lifetimes would be a sign of stagnation.

And, I'm a decent DevOps guy.
Could it be that whenever coders today need some fairly trivial functionality, they tend to go out and find a library that contains it. So you end up with lots and lots of libraries where only a tiny bits of them are used. Just a hypothesis though.
I never stopped to consider how much of the world's software is written in a Dane-designed language.

f=ma is an interesting example. I still think you should mention that it's Newton's Second Law if you're teaching it, and I doubt there's a textbook out there that doesn't. If Newton had discovered this law last year and you wrote a book about it without mentioning him, that would be deeply unethical.

The legislation: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/section/5

While you can reasonably be deemed "in charge" of your camper van, if you're seen climbing into the living area with the clear intention of bedding down for the night, or are knocked awake by the police and then breathalysed, you would have a very good argument that there was no likelihood of your driving the vehicle, and therefore you would have a defence against the charge.

If, on the other hand, you climbed into the drivers seat and started the engine so you could turn on the heaters and put the radio on for a bit while you had your evening cocoa, you'd have a rather more difficult hill to climb.

If you make a habit of sleeping somewhere other than a recognised camp site, it would probably be worth your while keeping a couple of those £2 disposable breathalysers from Halfords in the glove box. Not only will it prevent you from accidentally driving while still over the limit the next day, but if you are challenged by the police while you're still drunk, it allows you to demonstrate that you have the means on hand to ensure that you won't be driving before you're fit to do so.

The conclusion of the article you cited is that the authors can't find a way to conversationally distinguish between wealthy and poor nations without somebody being offended.

I think this is a great illustration of the fact that, although some people intend to be derisive in their speech, we shouldn't assume that any designation whatsoever is intended as derision. That is, everybody needs to chill and assume the other person is making a good-faith attempt to be reasonably polite until proven otherwise.
what happens when the area between the Mississippi and the Rockies returns to being an unusable semidesert? (That's not an if. It is all irrigated.)

Here in Missouri, there is actually fairly little irrigation. There's a 1.5 hour drive through rural farmland I take regularly, and I see one irrigation setup on the whole trip. The other irrigation I can think of off the top of my head is just north of Jefferson City, 100 yards from the Missouri River, and that's for a sod factory that turns its fields over every couple of months.

This year the rain has been fantastic. We put up more hay than we ever have. July was hot, as July often is, but the first week of August will be our coolest in memory. If this is climate change, I vote for more of it. b^)
I'm sincerely curious what would be the worst offenders for app bloat.
It _is_ a modern language, and people do start learning it when they get jobs that use it. It's just syntax, and it's a really good tool for certain jobs. You should give it a go with Lazarus IDE and see if you still feel that way.
Apparently, Crosswalk [1] for Android adds "only" about 20MB.

I just compiled a Cordova-based Android-app without Crosswalk, but also without images. Just JavaScript, HTML and CSS and a few plugins and the APK is < 3MB. Was quite surprised by that.

A GUI web site generator is trivial and many already exist. The difference between the web and traditional desktop based programs is that you have a lot more freedom in constructing the experience on the web. Whereas a typical WinForms app is made up of a bunch of drag and drop common controls like the button or text edit, simple text editing and buttons can take many different creative forms to best suit the intended experience.

So I guess another way of saying it is that older desktop based technologies like WinForms are more geared towards purely functional experiences. The web can go above and beyond providing merely functional experiences. The aesthetic and the experience as a whole is important.
I'm pretty sure this is part of it. Remember leftpad? For electron based apps they're just bundling all of chrome which explains the size too.
What about KaTeX? It doesn't suit my needs (I need to use the unofficial Xy-pic extension for commutative diagrams) but few users have those constraints, and KaTeX is significantly faster.
We looked into creating plushies, but unless you order them in lots of 1000, they are incredibly expensive to make. And since plushies are bulky, also very expensive to ship!
Apple patents augmented reality (AR) smart glasses system with ‘touchscreen’
A huge chunk of that probably goes to, well, videos or hi-res photographs to be used in building the UI. Hi-res splash screens plus a bunch of hero images plus 2+ prerendered sizes of each display element for different pixel densities plus a dozen 30 second tutorial videos can easily add up to a couple hundred megs of assets alone.
Pretty soon these will start to hit Apple's limit on downloads over cellular (something I still can't believe exists in 2017).

This is what I'm talking about. Trying to force math/tech onto a democracy/republic where the voting population doesn't understand it cannot end well. The voter will be suspicious, and rightfully so, of the process if they do not understand it. This is especially true if there is any corruption in the system at all. Since we know men are not angels, then the vast majority of voters must have belief in the processes as we all know men do become devils. Democracy demands this faith to work. Yes, we can make the system mathematically better, but if that comes at the cost of the faith in democracy, then it's mute. Even with the system we have now, simple as it is, there is already a large lack of faith in it by a lot of the US, and this is already a threat to idea of self-determination.

Why not? 401 seems like a fine fit if your client doesn't need to differentiate between authentication and authorization; most don't need to at all.

Also, you can fail authorization without passing authentication. For instance, you could be authorized by ip range or something unrelated to any of the data in the http request.

Michael Abrash (author of the Black Book) is currently doing VR on GPUs. He's been talking recently about how the GPUs need at least 10x more power, so in some sense he's not impressed by hardware accelerated graphics either. But I'll bet a dollar right now that he won't settle for a Celeron. ;) It doesn't sound like you're doing much that's 3d or graphically demanding? Not surprising you don't need a GPU.

My laptop has a GPU, and also has separate dedicated video decode hardware, so doesn't need either GPU or CPU for most video -- far easier on the battery and doesn't hog the CPU.

Aside from games, you might be interested in a GPU for CNNs or mining virtual currencies. There's no question about the effectiveness over laptop CPUs.
