Very cool. I just tried it on my own machine and got this (archlinux with lots and lots of python libraries/data junk): Changed the command up a bit since it was including zero byte files and directories: sudo find / -size +0

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely do that. There's a certain point where I threw my arms in the air and learned to accept it, and I hit it. :)

You must have a machine built for it, since I've had tons and tons of niggling little issues with systemd. Random, unnamed services sometimes fail to start or shutdown. One of systemd's big claim to awesomeness is that the start s

What? I'm not being a troll. Your post was unwarrantingly personal similar and reeked of projection. Like I said - you're not relevant to my original argument if you're truly good at it and actually spend the time to care. Ot

I tend to be "that guy", and I don't really see any major problem if things are actually bad. Last time I tried to "fix" something, it was four months into a job where the scheduling server was put onto my shoulders

Neat, I'd also recommend something like opencomputers for learning. The learning curve and asinine amount of time it takes to get started is a bit of a hurdle or thirty, but it helps to have more than one person involved. At the end of

I used to ride a motorcycle every day from the suburbs to Chicago's loop (until a crash on the way to work. heh) and I'm not sure that I'd want something like this. As binary as it initially seems, there's actually a lot

I wish I knew more about it, but what he's told me is that it's common to do something similar to the pulling a sheet from a table trick in certain manufacturing processes. Well, if you pour sugar goo onto something and expect it

Yeah, they definitely are. I reported a major issue of comcast to an indirect associate of mine I know who's huge into security. I wanted some contacts with folk who know how to disclose it properly, since I wasn't getting much he

My dad does food manufacturing and loves to talk about this subject. Fact is, if you pour sugar paste on something, don't expect anything under it to slide away very cleanly. CAD doesn't do a very good job with sticky stuff. :)

Nah, I agree. I was mostly being facetious :)

Funny enough, after an interview I had yesterday where it sounds like they're going to reject me for "culture fit" reasons, I kind of came to the conclusion that fulltime jobs and even direct contracting isn't for me any

I don't think I've ever been this paranoid around privacy in my life for a couple personal and interesting reasons. -I disclosed a major security failure at comcast yesterday. It was surprisingly effectively handled and fixed, but

I wrote this up last night but decided not to post it, but why not, since it's topical now. He might've learned from the criticism last time. sed 's/[^a-zA-Z]/ /' rama.txt | tr ' ' '\n&#

The reason I can't put my finger on your reply is that you immediately applied everything I said to yourself and blew it up into a lengthy reply. If you're one of the "good" interviewers, then none of what I said applies

Fair enough. I'm the same way. Somewhere along the line, though, I learned to stop caring about pretending to be excited and just accept that a majority of companies won't hire me for what they perceive to be a lack of apathy. It&

All I'm asking is for a bit of empathy. If you're willing to have someone fly out to you, that's an enormous hassle for them but very little for you. I kind of get the impression you're bitter or projecting something, bu

When I ask that, I'm talking about the lack of email more than the lack of compensation. It's just kind of a dick move. It's kind of like that date that you both absolutely loved over a long weekend, but the other person refu

From knowing these guys for so long, they try their absolute best not to hide it and go pretty far to show it off in a way that's not really in your face. Gotta hand it to them for sticking up for their interests considering how much n

Honestly, does it matter?

Do you have any idea how easy it is to tell when someone's doing that? Or going even further, how exhausting this is for someone who's not good at it? Why not just be genuine?

So, are you suggesting that folks take one day off per week? That seems a little ridiculous. The number of employers who haven't even looked at my resume, even after a month long process, is insane. Is it really that hard to read a res

One possible reason is that the brony thing on his github might be a legit turnoff for employers. It's silly, but it's possible. The two people I talk to more than anyone else in this world are bronies (to the extent of going to c

If interviews weren't scheduled at the drop of a hat and employers actually took the time to decide whether to bring someone in for an onsite interview, then this wouldn't be a problem as big as it is. Fact is, when someone needs

He posts a link to his github page, ffs! Sure, he could've modified that, but that just sounds incredibly silly, considering how open he is about everything else: https://github.com/sahat I spend maybe four hours per c

And I've received 17 this week with difficulties finding jobs still. Mostly within Chicago, but a lot are remote - what's your point? You're still oversimplifying the issue.

Or, I dunno, they live in a place without a condensed, ego mad, hyper-inflated job market?

Yep. In complete fairness to the guy, it sounded like he knew the work was unfairly shoveled onto him. That fairness can't be extended towards his management, though.
