Requiring thousands of node packages to malformat text for people who can't be bothered to not use a phone to read a webpage seems to be the common definition of responsive these days.

Docker swarm has been providing the simple solution for over a decade but nobody wants to use it because it's not k8s.

A skilled employee would never skip that step, why should you do so in an interview context? Skipping that step seems like a task failure to me just as much as any other part of the question from an interviewer perspective. Maybe I shouldn&

Once again I'll state my opinion, don't use linkedin. It's a social media site not an employment/recruitment resource.

FreeBSD and NetBSD aren't going anywhere and can be used for older hardware, for the amount of production and load bearing use Linux sees there's an enormous amount of cruft and garbage in it.

Forwarding to WORM tape is one way. Of course that still involves network and likely a buffer somewhere.

They can be nested, the one thing I have never been able to figure out though is how to get alerts of receiving a message while also filing away in a sub folder. You get one or the other in outlook, as a result I rarely check my work email

Am I missing part of the article? This seems like 2 sentences saying "don't install anything cause some Linux LPEs came out." I don't understand why this is on the frontpage of HN.

Should I be able to run files I download on my own computer? I think yes I should, hate fighting MacOS to do simple tasks because Apple engineers assume the end user has the average intelligence of an ostrich.

The over ambitious and underperforming, might be a good indication of why they can't keep a website up :)

No to mention the absolutely absurd questions they ask. I looked at a sr position there and they were asking about performance in individual courses _in high school._ I haven't been in school for 20 years. I've learned and forgott

Complaining about vendor blobs while showing a picture of a machine hooked up to a China produced RAT box is certainly a statement.

When it comes to storage "unlimited" to me means a promise to be broken at some random point in the future. I'll never use a service that claims unlimited anything over having an actual cost model. Companies that charge by wh

No, publicly funded research is the reason the internet exists.

Despite the misleading headline, I really don't understand why anyone uses linkedin, there will inevitably be a trailing rely of comments claiming it has some irreplaceable value in professional networking, but I don't buy it. Nob

Sure it's a giant PITA, but it's not expensive to repair if you do the labor yourself. Parts for macbook are easy to comeby since Apple decentralizes repairs so heavily.

Sounds like his feedback loop is finally broken after years of logrolling with sycophants in government and higher ed.

Great, what's more concerning than crash rates though are impeding emergency vehicles, blocking roads, stalling when traffic lights are down, rolling past school buses with stop arms out, navigating in construction zones and lots of ot

Yes, we're already running 800G networks, so this phrasing seems really silly to me.

Yep our newest team member came in having never used a posix filesystem in a production environment. It genuinely blew my mind.

This is all stupid advice from the same consulting firm. I have no doubt C suites will try this and I have no doubt it will backfire and end their businesses if they don't reverse course. Really tired of hearing this crap from people w
