In my experiece, upgrading the kernel to a newer one is not a problem. What can happen, though, is that an upgrade of userspace will suddenly require a kernel-feature not present, if you run an ancient board-support-package with a 3.0-kernel or so in 2014! (happened to me with a BSP for a Freescale i.MX6).

So, if you have archlinux tracking the latest and greatest systemd, uptrading userland can make your machine no longer bring up everything (completely). But in my case the kernel is from 2011...
Those tools are great and all, but my setup usually involves more than just installing applications.

I have a huge pile of registry files which change a lot of windows behaviour. I have configuration files which need to be copied to the right places. I want certain shortcuts in certain places with certain icons. No tool is able to do those things nor are the ones who can do one of these very good or complete.

On paper it doesn't sound so complicated. Install these 12 applications, copy these dotfiles to $HOME, these to $SETUPLOCATION. Setup shortcuts and disable the Caps Lock Key, the Firewall and the Library function.

In reality I have a ton of tools stacking ontop of each other littering everything with package identification files. Tools which only download over the net because they act like package managers but probably fail because the network hasn't been setup (which they probably can't do on their own anyway). And if the application you want is not available you spent more time creating packages than the whole process would have saved you even if you ran it a hundred times. Tools which describe the whole process in lovely xml files. Modifications are chosen from a list and never have what you want and the scripting support for additional features looks more complicated than the lovely registry file that contains ""Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,01,00,3a,00,00,00,5b,e0,\
00,00,5c,e0,00,00,00,00" which probably doesn't make sense to anyone.
Decorators are so simple and minimalistic and elegant and easy to understand. They can surface an arbitrary amount of extra functionality with a single statement. For example, ensure a function is only accessible to authenticated users by simply saying something like @requires_authenticated_user. Another example would be to create a logging decorator to wrap a function or a class to create a log of every time the function is accessed @log_function_access. Or to wrap a function to ensure that every access to the properties of that function are pushed through some sort of validation or transformation @validate_set or @transform_get. Decorators allow encapsulation of functions within other functional concepts with almost no code, that's the design decision for using them.
"Unix philosophy" seems to be one of those phrases that everyone likes agreeing with because you can use it to either justify or condemn anything you like.

E.g. you could perfectly plausibly make the argument that systemd's return to inetd-style service starting (on-demand and in-parallel through socket activation) is a lot more unix-philosophy-like than the SysVinit way.
Sounds like someone really wanted to set up a UK style '0 hours contract' where you get to avoid paying an 'employee' unless you ask them to do something and then only need to pay for the actual time they spend doing it but you have the advantage of stopping them getting another real job since they are already reserved by your 'employment'.

UK companies do it all the time - sounds like this Belgian needs to move to the UK to get the desired outcome of slaves on standby.

Mostly that I don't have much commonality with those around me. Everyone seems to be focused on getting the "right" internship and studying, while I'd like to have meaningful conversations about intellectually intriguing topics. Plus, my general lack of social skills and nerdiness at a school which is decidedly not nerdy.

What you describe socially/environmentally sounds a lot like the typical Ivy League experience. Gossip, politics, inner circles within inner circles, who-you-know, etc.

Fortunately, social skills are something you can improve, if you set your mind to it. That's one reason I'm really glad I did my college experience in the order I did. I don't think I could have truly taken advantage of my grad school experience if not for going to undergrad someplace where everyone wasn't constantly jockeying to get ahead.

I'm sure you have more commonality with people than you think. Being adept socially is all about finding those commonalities. Usually, that means being able to step out of your own head to empathize with what other people's social needs are. The most social people I know have a way of making other people feel like the most interesting person in the world.

It sounds like you've got a lot going for you, and if you're a sophomore now, you've got a lot of time to figure everything out. Best of luck. Drop me a line if you want to grab a coffee or something. I went to NYU for my second grad school experience :)

The problem with that is that if you remove the legalese, like say "fixing means" from a claim to make it clearer then you limit the range of prior art that will render the claim obvious/anticipated.

> However, Belgian law makes it very difficult to put such a flexible schedule in a contract.

Oh really? I'm not an expert on Belgian law here, but are they really claiming they offered to pay people extra and/or give time off in lieu for optional overtime, but they didn't agree to it? Or is it just mandatory free overtime that is banned?

Belgian law probably makes it hard to require employees to work more than reasonable hours for no extra reward or choice. Which is a good thing. If you want 24x7 support, you need to pay for 24x7 employees. This person is wishing they had the right to specify in a contract that your working hours are "whenever I call."

Since they don't get that, I'm not surprised they didn't realise firing someone^W^W, sorry, "agree[ing] to terminate your collaboration" might make them stop responding beyond the call of duty.

Also, I was reading something the other day that pointed out that, whilst seeing things in black and white reduces you to only two perspectives (moral and immoral), the attitude that everything is a shade of grey (and the implied attitude that this makes moral comparisons impossible) reduces you to a single perspective (amoral). If you think two perspectives is too few, how is going down to one perspective supposed to help?

Quoting the "Unix philosophy" as the reason to keep things like they were 20 years ago is laughable.
I want to get things done, and managing processes using init scripts and daemonization is pain. Edit: I'v read the cached version now, and this assumption turned out wrong. The authors see a need to replace sysvinit.

The amount of bad and inconsistent init scripts, messy PID file handling, makeshift service wrappers, defective daemonization and logging workarounds is so much worse than having one place that will handle those ever repeated tasks.

I love that in recent years Linux (as in distributions) got an attitude and actively push things forward, without losing compatiblity to older software. Apple introduced launchd and nobody complained. We start to rely docker and all sorts of new approaches to manage our services and nobody complains. But init is somehow regarded as the holy cow noone is supposed to touch although everybody agrees it sucks.

Even if it's technically wrong: Unix as a platform is now Linux. Everything else is niche products, and we don't have to use the same init mechanism on Linux/BSD/whatever just because we can.

I have deployed the same software on Debian Linux, RHEL Linux and AIX and basically had to reimplement service management scripts for every platform to have the best possible result. How could this get even worse?

As a consultant rather than an employee, and someone who takes a similar attitude to employment, I totally get where the author is coming from. Employment is a transaction of money for work, not a marriage. I'll get annoyed is my hypothetical wife leaves me when my skills atrophy, but I'm not going to act butthurt just because my employer no longer needs a data scientits.

Additionally, it sounds like the employee was treated well. "eventually we agreed to terminate our collaboration as soon as he would have found a new challenge." Maybe I'm misinterpreting the corporatespeak, but that sounds like a "start looking for something, we'll pay you until you find it." Not a bad deal at all.

And it sounds like the employee was still employed (albeit being paid to look for new work) at the time this occurred.
I don't know about SF, but it certainly didn't stick in London (UK) post the dotcom bubble. Many people ended up either with no work in tech or taking voluntary pay cuts, and the hourly rates for contractors dropped dramatically only to get back to previous levels in GBP terms 10 years later. Many tech workers left London because they couldn't afford to live there any more. New properly developments around certain parts of London didn't find tenants, rents dropped making it more attractive to buy a few years later.
This is not leaked recently but spread today which caused people to believe it was looted during the 4chan hack earlier today. The 4chan administration has been awkwardly silenced about the compromised 4chan website, but this isn't one of the reasons.

The post might not be as shocking as it appears. In most of the EU you seldom can fire an employee without weeks of notice. The way she tells the story, it seems as if the employee was told his contract would terminate, but he was still working for the company when he was needed.

Still, I don't find strange that an employee who knows his days at a company are counted is not willing to respond to an after-hours phone call.
You failed to mention why it's not the init system's job. An init system which is aware of what's going on can have a lot of advantages.

In the end djb's daemontools are nothing more than an init system on top of an init system. So why not include it in the main init system?
As a consultant you must see far higher hourly rates than a normal permanent employee.

That "deal" to give him reasonable time to find a new job was forced by law, not given by kindness of her heart.

And where exactly did you get the impression that the employee was "butthurt"? The employee noted exactly what you said: A job is a transaction of money for work, not a marriage, so: Do what is written in the contract. Not more, not less. She didn't like that.

I can understand the issue that people have with systemd swallowing more and more functionality, but this fact is just false.

dhcp is in /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd, which is not the systemd binary running as PID 1 (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd/systemd).
