I'm just using Windows with Linux in a VM. All the hardware support and all the Linux goodies. (Some extra memory is required, but my thin-and-light 14" laptop had 32G, so it's ok.)

This is not about time management at all. Many new execs mess this up -- it's not that you need to get more organized (or mostly not); you need to build a system that doesn't require you to intervene all the time. What this requir

Every company must have a logo with four colors -- some variant of red-green-blue-yellow. It should also fit into a square, and the colors must stay separate, splitting the square into 4 parts if possible.

Yep, this is what eventually leads to back-to-the-nature movements (barefoot running, free climbing, expeditions without oxygen masks, etc.).

There are two major differences. 1) BMW is a much smaller company, 15x smaller than Apple. Apple's valuation is partly based on them pocketing _most_ of the smartphone profits globally. There is no expectation like that towards BMW. Re

Am I the only one who's fascinated by the UX of this site? It's just so clear and so usable. It resembles to https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ but it's not a gag, it's an actual site.

This can work with camel casing. So you type UnsiLI, then enter.

Many companies are OSS friendly, but I think being OSS friendly is different than building your whole organization on OSS. RH does the latter, many-many companies are the former.

RHEL is just a small piece of the Red Hat puzzle that is sold to enterprises. In some way Red Hat is an exception -- there have been no multi-billion dollar businesses built purely on open source except them. (Or maybe I have missed somethi

Guys, this is not just, or mainly not RH Linux. :( - kernel development - Ansible - JBoss (I know HN hates Java, especially Java EE, but it was and is an important factor in enterprise OSS adoption) - OpenShift - Ceph, Gluster All these are

It's tricky. Normally you're not supposed to establish intimate relationship at the workplace if there is a clear power difference between the parties. Similarly to how teacher-student relationships are frowned upon (even if both

Nouveau is useless for a card like the 1080Ti, you get 10% of the performance and much worse energy efficiency. Yes, I also dislike nvidia but a few years ago AMD was absolutely awful under Linux. Yeah, not much wrong with i3 but I really l

I bought my 1080Ti two years ago and have custom watercooling on it. I can spend a lot of money now and get an AMD card that's a bit slower and consumes much more power. Sure, I should be voting with my wallet but it's not a cheap

Depends on the industry. E.g. if you're working in defense or healthcare, then just the possibility of a data leak might be something you're obligated to report on. And a Google- or Facebook-size company might easily fall into the

Is that really true? Postgres is great, but it doesn't cater for _all_ use cases. For example, horizontal scalability is -- understandably for an ACID RDBMS -- not as trivial as it is for some document stores.

Thinkpad, Latitude or ZBook. All of them are approximately on the same level when it comes to ruggedness -- maybe HP has slightly worse QA but that's only my anecdotal experience.

This is quite complicated. Primarily, the measurable bit of a manager's performance is what's produced. If you start measuring people's emotions then that's going to be very hard to quantify. Let's say that your com

Sorry, I wasn't defending Linus at all, and I would not behave as he did. I was just saying that him changing his behavior doesn't prove anything about successful management techniques. Of course I'm not pro assholes :)

by sz4kerto 8y ago
Do you have relevant examples (or even better, some statistics)? How do you measure this and how do you know if they were assholes or not? I guess you don't have a record of SLT meetings of large companies (as you have access to the em

We should also keep in mind that the fact that he's trying to change his behavior does not mean that it has been counterproductive overall for Linux over the last three decades. It might not be optimal now for leading kernel developmen
