Do you have experience? What have you been doing since 2008?

People who have problems getting interviews are often expecting too much. In my experience it really helps to work for almost nothing for a year or so just to get some professional experience and from there employers will take you far more seriously. If you don't have much experience you're unlikely to get noticed over someone with a year or two experience.

Really you should have been looking for odd jobs at university when you don't have dependencies and a lifestyle to afford. But it's not too late, I'm sure there are small business / individuals who would love you to build a software tool or a website for them for free or a little thank you cash. If you can do this on evenings and weekends for a bit you'll be able to fill out your CV with experince and demonstrate you're able to deliver.

Another thing I've found employers like is having a few lines about some personal project. Do you have any interesting (hopefully related) tech projects you've been working on or contributing too? These are also great to talk about in the interview to show your passions.

Generally employers are looking for someone with a track record and a passion for what they do. If you can show those two things you should have no problem getting an interview. The interview itself will then mostly just be expanding on the experience outlined on your CV and assessing if you're going to be a good fit culturally.
This article honestly just feels like a symptom of a larger issue of how Linux is being handled for general desktop usage.

This reminds me of an apocryphal story from development economics. Someone's working paper gets read by an academic from a more qualitative discipline, and they get a furious email: "how dare you say Africans are dummies, and live in log houses?"

This practice is what used to be known as the activity formerly called sometimes referred to as best effort.

What I’m reading from this thread:

- cloud native is weird/hard
- old ways were better!
- misconceptions about boundaries and aspects

Remember folks. When choosing technology, your selections always depend on a list of concerns, including:

- cost
- complexity
- developer audience
- support audience
- change management
- vendor relations
- mapping out dev strategies
- getting consensus from team

No matter what tech is used, you still need to go through planning and design.

More often than not, cloud enables us to hack first. That is never a good strategy.

There’s nothing inherently bad about cloud native. It’s just different and _can_ be highly beneficial to outcomes.
> If changing fixed-function attribute state can affect the shader, the compiler could be invoked at inopportune times during random OpenGL calls. Here, Apple has another trick: Metal requires the layout of vertex attributes to be specified when the pipeline is created, allowing the compiler to specialize formats at no additional cost. The OpenGL driver pays the price of the design decision; Metal is exempt from shader recompile tax.

I've just started playing with OpenGL recently and I don't know what "changing fixed-function attribute state can affect the shader" means.

Can anyone give an example of what kind of operations in the shader code might cause these unnecessary recompiles?
You know how people in the "West" countries say that why do we need to pay for green tech today while China is doing blablabla? Well, people in India think exactly the same. And I wager people in China too, only they use some other Boogeyman, Russia maybe. That's why we can't have nice things.
> So IMHO the focus should be on dropping racial connotations from colors. If we're fine with not calling Asians "yellow" and Native Americans "red", we should be fine with that too.

I think that sounds like a very good solution, but it's opposite of the solution being touted by the current progressive regime.

They seem to think that to combat racial discrimination, to combat thinking in black and white, we first have to make everything black and white. They then assign different treatments/rights to the different segregations, to correct for some historical wrong-doing, to ensure everyone now gets treated, on overall, "equalish".

From my understanding this principle is even being taught in schools, and also applied to other areas in society (gender-equality, LGBTQ)? If so, we do have quite some way to go.

Just a heads up, I listened to a podcast about bird feeding recently and they mentioned that ground beef can cause serious bone density issues in magpies and crows, they're used to eating the bones of small animals alongside the meat and with a full belly of mince they won't seek them out.

> Modes are essentially left-rotations of a scale.

While true, I find this interpretation harmful to the understanding of modes. It didn't provide me with any insight and instead it seemed irregular to the other theoretical constructs we have and thus deterred and misled me in the beginning.

To me, it all clicked when I took all the modes, except Lydian, and constructed them by putting down the augmentations to the major scale in a circle-of-fifths sorted way:

Mixolydian: b7,
Dorian: b7 b3,
Aeolian: b7 b3 b6,
...

You can see that the modes appear walking left on the circle of fifths or walking along fourths (or going "darker", as some prefer to say). Try this out when starting at e.g. C and you see the pattern immediately.

Then take Lydian: #4

That's going right on the circle of fifths or going in fifths going "brighter".

Also, tangential comment: My music and my life has changed profoundly when I found out how to use the Lydian mode. I can't explain it, but it is just exciting.

Hmm, interesting. My number comes from a meta-analysis of peer reviews that compared usual latency to COVID-paper latency.

I use gnome on desktop and I liked it. Keyboard shortcuts are the most important way to control desktop for me, I do not care if it is hard to control using mouse. I do not need hierarchic program menu, start button and lots of configuration dialogs.

It is true that some defaults are annoying and lots of configuration options are missing in GUI programs but it is still possible to configure basically everything using gsettings or gnome extensions (which I prefer over KDE style config).

I do not like some gnome apps (i.e. nautilus or gedit) but there are alternatives so no big problem there.

On the other side, what megacorps such as Google or Facebook adopt influences everyone else. While some of the terms on this list tend to be a bit nit-picky, it's not a bad thing to replace stuff such as master/slave or blacklist/whitelist... and having big-name influencers commit to that is a huge step forward.

From a political view: ideally this whole debate should have been done in the open, in democratic discourse, but unfortunately Congress has been gridlocked for the most part of the last decades, and mass media these days more serves to outrage and click-baiting (for the sake of ad money) instead of hosting civilized debate.

I don't think this is a good comparison; the controversy of the "blacklist" term is a complex and polarising topic that depends heavily on context; I don't think it makes sense to look for an analogy here. For anyone looking for a summary, I like how wikipedia [1] describes the context and the current state.

the valid criticism of opinionated gnome desktop is that gnome is being redesigned right now with no particular reason, just highly opinionated developers feel like it. That's weird from a gnome user perspective(the one that agreed with previous iteration of opinionated work flow).
This is further complicated by the fact that “regular expression” typically refers to the more academic form of regular expressions (eg: regular languages), whereas “regex” tends to refer to the extended PCRE-style regexs with various non-regular features.

> What is the rationale for taking a profitable company that does not need additional funding public?

I think the main reason is to allow insiders who were compensated by stock (options) to cash those out. By creating an actual liquid market, it becomes a lot easier for people who hold the stock to sell it.

In general, direct listings allow more people to put money into the company, which should see its stock price rise. Which stock-holders like. Alternatively, it creates a more accurate view of the value of a company, which might make it easier to get loans.
"which eliminates their ability to borrow money for several years"

Not really. It's a refinancing of the firm in a new structure. That happens all the time - with huge amounts of borrowed money.

Getting rid of deadweight loans and refinancing elsewhere is what administration is for, and what happens regularly.

In fact freeing up collateral and sending losses abroad makes a firm more creditworthy, not less.

There's nothing wrong with XFCE or LXDE, if that's what you like then use them. But I don't understand why such users always feel the need to criticize gnome, not for it's actual issues but because they don't like its paradigm. I for one couldn't be happier that they decided to "reinvent the concept of what a desktop GUI is". I find its paradigm intuitive and efficient.
Yeah, you can even go back much further in time if you're not too worried about performance. I've been running a fanless Atom J1900 based mini-PC as a home server for ~8 years nonstop now. It's trivial to build such a system but at least back then the cost was literally 10x to 20x the price of a rPI today. I would guess that even though it's an 8-year old CPU it's probably about 2x as fast as an rPI 4B, and for something that's been chugging along for all this time the cost/depreciation over time vs. a much cheaper rPI isn't really an issue for me.
On the face of it, it appears we're putting waaaay too much trust in technologies that aren't anywhere near the levels of autonomy we expect them to have.

Whether that's an issue of the relevant car companies not communicating with their customers properly; or their customers being ignorant - or worse still, wilfully negligent, is probably something for the courts to decide.

Either way, it seems to me an extended period of reflection over what we as human beings are currently doing to one another with these new-fangled driving technologies, is needed.
