I don't understand one thing. Why would HR trust a person who says "I can do X"? Everyone can say that. But not everyone can say "I did X". Is hiring really predicated upon the naivete of those doing it?

This is actually a prime business opportunity -- outdoors child-sitting. You'd watch over children and escort them home and to pre-approved locations. More liberal and hands-off parents could allow their children to explore as much as

You can actually layer pulseaudio on top of jack and have per-application volume controls, plus letting some applications output to your usb headset and whatnot; and also allowing pro-grade applications use jack directly, not bothering with

Tar already has the first two, and even POSIX xattrs (which this doesn't preserve), the third seems useless (seems being the key word here, some people might find it useful), and I'd rather just use a program that will encrypt the

I'm wondering -- would it be possible to have a cycle checker which would be run on function exit on the objects, for which the compiler can't prove, that they don't contain cyclic references?

His point does bear consideration - the expert-written libraries are only expert-usable. You can still badly mess up encryption even if your basic building blocks are written perfectly. It's not just the algorithms that need to be expe
