I'm afraid HN has a serious problem with downvoters. Why -in heavens name- is the above a question that deserves downvoting? UPDATE: whoray - I got downvoted too. Gee man. Just not worth it. Buy and thanks for the fish.

True. Or you can switch to Mint. The think with systemd though is that you don't have this option anymore. Regardless of how bad idea you think it is - you are stuck with it (as it seems). I think that's on the core of arguments a

Criticism does not equal complain. If I find something horrible I'll say so - that's feedback. By your way of thinking, since I don't have to use brainfuck (an intentionally horrible language) I should not mention that it is

I see that this change (systemd) is mostly driven by desktop software dev teams. If linux chooses to care mostly about the desktop aspect (IMHO previous such experiments like Unity were total flops but I'm not an expert) instead of its

You don't provide any argument. 'It runs on my machines' is akin to 'it runs on my laptop'. Previous system was working, battle tested, was _not_ broken, was not polluting user space. And these are just a few argume

"There is also concern that it forms a system of interlocked dependencies, thereby giving distribution maintainers little choice but to adopt systemd as more user-space software come to depend on its components" from relative wiki

I don't know about other distros but let me remind you that ubuntu sometime ago switched from gnome desktop to Unity despite all the cries that the latter is just horrible.

I think that this is because people are finding Python equally well suited for such tasks and more modern. Perl (easy to) obscure syntax is not helping either.

Do you have any link to that speech/article?

You have to know either the jurisdiction (offshore country) of the company or the name of the person. What would be quite valuable would be a search based on the linked countries. E.g. companies/ppl linked to Italy.

Tcl may be the best language in the known universe (highly doubt it) but try running a job search for it in linkedin. Then do the same for java. I'm not the damned CEO you know. I need to think of my own employability/career.

No - I don't think that because I stayed there long enough to make sure that the lion's share was TCL. What they said they meant with "java" was that they were going to rewrite the thing in java (this -4 years later- is

My feelings exactly. Authority/fame coupled with AI hype (in fashion again these days). Also _not_ clarifying that we are not dealing with any sort of hard AI (which is what the layman understands by AI) is always a bad sign. All in al

Sad as it may be your being based on a low income country was probably one of the main reasons they approached you. And it is quite universal so I wouldn't attribute it to unprofessionalism. From company's point of view it makes p
