About time. I have been making this argument for 10 years and being met with mostly people who don't agree. For whatever reason, most people think we need to keep doing whatever we have been doing even though the situation is manifestl

"Everyone" has not switched nor is "everyone" switching. Most distros are yes. Some are not. Personally I like shell scripts and plan to continue using them as long as feasible. They work, and when/if they don'

Eh, there is too much that can go wrong with that plan... Besides, the meat puppets will have families back home that might get all sentimental when the inability to question the stupidity of your orders gets them shot. Maybe better just go

There are distros that don't use systemd. Slackware for one. Besides, appeal to popularity isn't a very good argument from my perspective.

While I respect your decision to throw out the CVs of people engaging in hatred and death wishes (of course... I think most people would do this), I'm not sure many of these people will be applying to your Australian web strategy compa

I disagree. I think some people are just irrationally upset about perceived threats to something that is very important to them. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Linus.

Exactly. There are very valid arguments against systemd that have nothing to do with being a "hater".

I actually saw an undercover sting (not federal) in progress once. It was late at night in a small town in rural New Mexico. The town had two convenience stores. I was passing through and stopped at one of the stores to buy a soda and the p

Working hard is habit. Habit is born of doing. Doing is born of necessity. If you don't have an inner need you probably won't develop hard work habits. So find the need. It's an emotional thing at the basic level really. If y

I've found it's harder to get a job you are massively overqualified for than to get one you are barely qualified for. If you need a job which you are massively overqualified for, dumb it down and do your best to appear no sort of

To me, the most ironic part of the whole situation is Hoover's private behavior... That aside, there is very little doubt in my mind Hoover was a bad man. The sad part is, many people eventually are bad given the chance and they never

How many years ago was the Windows8 release? Was that a scummy trick? Or just a dumb move?

If you don't think about technical analysis as charts and lines, but rather patterns or cycles of market (and human) behavior (which is of course what the charts and lines represent) you might see how technical analysis could have some

second disclaimer... Although I partook very much in my younger years I no longer indulge. Not that I'm against it... I just have too much to remember at this stage. but to your point... I suspect lots.

Indeed. And somehow, I'm able to build full web applications from database to CSS, by myself, without once using "Machine Learning"... This whole article is ridiculous.

I took a job recently in a Windows ecosystem. I hadn't used Windows on a day to day basis in 4 or 5 years and my co-workers laughed behind my back as I stumbled around clumsily clicking buttons looking for the control panel. The laught

Agreed 100%. Always expect that sooner or later there will be a housecleaning, and if keep current you will be prepared.
