I have a few years experience with TSM and always found it to be pretty fast and very reliable. Like most IBM software, it looks overly complicated and obtuse at first glance, but once you overcome a few "standard" obstacles(1), y

Tech people are moving elsewhere in Europe not because there are no interesting jobs but because the euro crisis has made them into easy picking for international tech companies. Faced with uncertainty there are few who resist the lure of h

That's an apples to oranges comparison. To upgrade Chrome a consumer depends only on himself. To upgrade a server OS, the "user" (the sysadmin) depends on a number of other people with different priorities. And that's _i

Forcing users to upgrade frequently has one outcome, and one outcome only: they will stop upgrading, period. If you give users only two choices, they will choose one, but the one that requires less effort. There is more to life than keeping

I would guess they aren't required to give any notice. However, they are probably required to pay him at least 3 months of salary after they do. If they choose to pay without having the employee do something for them during those 3 mon

I've tried to reach him a few months ago, mainly to know if he was intending to publish a new release with (at the very least) the fix for the missing "unistd.h" include breaking compilation (which is a one-liner), but got no

I doubt he uses WordStar because he likes it over the alternatives. He probably uses it to avoid distractions, and a new machine would negate that.

Just because it's new, doesn't mean it's better. And complaining doesn't automatically place one in the wrong side of history. See 3D films. It keeps reappearing and with it the usual stream of complaints and people dism

If you're storing pointers to elements in the list, you only have to change the pointed object.

Oh, the endless arguments of copyright vs. patents. From my understanding of this, the author has no right to block any reimplementation of the algorithm in another language because he has released the code under a license that explicitly a

What you're describing is business as usual in any enterprise shop... 1. hardware requirements call for an absurd capacity for applications with just a few hundred users 2. developers then proceed to utterly waste the available resourc

You can do the same with nothing more than iptables on Linux (using "recent").

As much as I like LaTeX, I think it has outlived its usefulness. Let me elaborate a bit... LaTeX is pretty good for typesetting lots of text, like novels, if you want to output something that looks professional without much effort. It'

SysV init is brittle only for desktop scenarios, where many things can change between reboots. On servers I've always found it to be very predictable. Once you fix an issue, it usually stays fixed. I haven't ran into many startup

As much as I dislike the idea of systemd, I'm starting to think it's pointless to fight it. There's still a large chunk of people that think the desktop is important for Linux's future and will keep pushing for turning i

Please elaborate. Usually, significant whitespace only forces code at the same nesting level to have the same indentation, it doesn't specify what that indentation should be.

Whenever I see someone using significant whitespace as a downside of any language, I can't avoid thinking "man... I wouldn't like to see your code..."

Correct, but even software that doesn't cause deaths on failure ends up causing real losses (often invisible). Consider every time Word crashes and work is lost. There are billions of Word users out there, mostly being paid to use it.

HW RAID does not read every sector blindly, there is a level of error detection there. And an errored sector in one read does not mean it errors in every read. Now, the error detection schemes at the disk level may be insufficient. I don&#x

You recommend something that hasn't been maintained in over a decade. Something that needs all sorts of random patches to still be useful? Random patches that may or may not introduce random vulnerabilities? BIND may have had a (really

"Malyshev sees the ability to control the uptake of foreign DNA bases as a safety measure that would prevent the survival of alien cells outside the lab, should they escape." This reminds me of that line from Ju

This whole story is disgusting. I'm still waiting to understand exactly where does a personal opinion on gay rights interfere with the ability to manage a company that basically develops a web browser. Just another witch hunt.

That's what I first thought too. The only situation where braces can be safely left out is when the single statement is on the same line as the "if".

Granted, init-related scripts have become complex along the years, but we may argue that happened because of the same type of reasoning that's now justifying the move to systemd: the need to do everything in one place and automagically

Zabbix is very good, at least since version 2.0.x which is the one I've used. Once you understand how it works, it's very easy to write agent scripts (plugins) and build templates for it. It took about 3 months for me to build a m

But where is the sexism in this? And since when did companies earned the right to fire people over matters of personal opinion? Or stating they would do it when the person isn't even an employee? This is a witch hunt, plain and simple.

I'm sorry to invoke Godwin's law on this, but this is beyond absurd... Stating that defending that pronouns should be gendered is a fireable offense is more than just ridiculous political correctness, it's criminalizing opini
