Dell does this but continues to outsource to India and China where communication is an epic problem that has never been solved. This is nothing short of a stealth layoff. If they were so interested in communicating they…
This is why people should build a huge ass f-u fund and not look back.
I have first hand experience with this product for over 2 years. It is a PITA from a SRE/Devops Security point of view. Things constantly break, the indexes, emailing reports, just general bit rot. The source code is at…
Listen to me, what hurts most people. is DEBT and run away spending. Stop both of it. I been through 2000,2008, 20015(:) and 2023, layoff a few times, and my answer now is, shut up and pay me. Build a 1 or 2 year F-U…
he is not the only one, or will be the last. Having your name on the main line of the kernel is really worth $$$. However here is a pro tip. FreeBSD, being a kernel commit, and having your name in it, you will be…
I love FreeBSD on personal servers and workstations. But lean into FreeBSD not into macOS look and feel. The m2 macs make it the best workstation out there. If you have that there is no business need for this os. Run it…
I used this years ago and the comments reminded me why I never used it again. Common theme in the comments it’s a nightmare. I do recall it being ungodly prickly to get it to work and debug. Now days unless it is…

Andrew even thinking about dropping LLVM, says all I need to know. Its going to become the next D language of 2020s. LLVM has decades of mistakes FIXED, and rewriting the first time, even the 6th time is always...…
finding that amount of gold bars is incredibly hard. People usually respond "comex & london" has gold bars? I dare say 30% are fake, numerous occasions where gold bars stored in the vault are fake.
IBM has been sued multiple times and lost multiple times on ageism. Recently they settled on Jan 23rd, because discovery found a email trail that they do not want exposed to the public.
I read article a few years ago that described why this happens. It boils down to this, people with zero experiences are in it for the $, and they will not stay around. It takes 1 to 2 years to take a jr to mid level.…
I have 2 LOB on the desktop. Is Jank an issue? Only to those who have 100+ refresh rates. Corporate wise , nah, its fine, Jank effects heavy animations. Even then the 3-4 encounters was fixed by some smart resource…
bingo. there is a flag you can set that eliminates most , if not all. It's not slow cause it's written in 'python'. It's slow because of safety.
this man speaks the truth. IPX/SPX was king back then. Frankly, SPX is recognized today as better 'tcp'/'packet' performance than ipv4. If it ever comes back it needs to stick to its roots. LAN performance was stellar,…
I had this happen a few times. My response is, you have to pay for 3 years at the rate. It does not mean you work 3 years, you are paid for the contract,6 months,etc. What happens, I had two say no way, one said yes.…
I took a look, however stopped. It is all fine, but linux support is "community" and that's just not good enough when there is ubuntu desktop units on the most sr engineer staff. I assumed it would have linux desktop…
Im never doing another QT contract. I think the last one was my last one. Ill stick to native UI, not electron or anything like that.. The hypocrite in me thinks flutter is my next choice.
rarely talk about this, there is another wizard that lived in friday harbor. I spent most of my youth and 20s with this man. He taught pain alleviation and hypnosis. I spent 6 years learning from him, 2 as an intern.…
Same thought here. Why would a person use this over salesforce, Wordpress, or the dozen other CMS systems out there? I watched the 5 minute demo, it is doing nothing complex. How many one off sites we all seen that are…
its not even close. its a wrapper around something the language doesn't support. trying to make it support something like iterators and ranges, plus its not generic is just asking for code bloat and spaghetti. we all…
I like how userland and the kernel are sync in freebsd. I disdain how linux works in that. However Linux has its core advantages, some distos are well suited and tested for certain scenarios. I used to have a bunch of…
