Science is bad for you.

But did you read the article. So let's say plea bargain doesn't exist, then you spend years in jails waiting for a trial as opposed to copping a plea and maybe get timed served.

Adobe....

Seems a bit excessive for a open source repo site.

We work with credit card vendors and to me, it seems like an easy business. You have many companies that want to be PCI compliant and they want to save money and they want reliable service. With credit card processing, it is really quite easy . Charge a credit card, validate, reject, etc. Can you handle all of my transactions? Is your API clean?

The one issue I see:

* Some vendors are slow. E.g. 3-5 second transactions

* Too expensive

* No good PCI compliant user interface. E.g. if I want to embed an iframe into my application. These are kludgy.

Other than that, what a great market to be in. And not just credit card transactions but banking/ach transactions, wire transfers, the whole 9 yards.

You are right, buy/contribute.

Plus, a lot of people feel that software should be free across the board. Most people are paying for the hardware. So if Canonical wants to sell stuff, they better get involved in the hardware side of things.

Probably just like Apple. The Canonical might want a little bit more control of their hardware.

I am pissed off. I am a life long linux user and Ubuntu has done great work.

I am really starting to see Ubuntu used for the desktop in various companies.

But nobody gives a shit enough to invest in their technologies. I think edge is a great idea. I will buy (once the phone is available). That is my contribution.

I think you can use both. As Clojure is more dynamic in nature where Scala/Haskell are good compiled static compliments.

Large projects, I would go with Scala/Haskell and for front-end systems, I would use clojure.

Why do it this way? With clojure, you can easily modify data or small pieces of logic. Simply edit the script without the recompile. With the scala/haskell api or library, you probably need something that changes less frequently. That backend system may act as a core piece of your library. ...

And if you don't like that. You can do Python and Java/C# which can give you the same effect.

Clojure has been grown up, it hasn't change that much since several years ago, especially on the surface.

What if you sleep in the morning?

I would even go a step further and talk about the Java runtime plugin supplied by Oracle for Windows?

And I am assuming this applies to the Oracle web plugin on Windows? E.g. does the Icedtea plugin on Ubuntu have these issues?

Is the game any good?

I live in apartment. Not a micro-one. But I imagine you can find solace in just having only the things you need. Why do you need a ranch size home and 20 acres?

Question, was he a dictator or a socialist? Was his country an OK model for socialism?

Got ya, I was applying to financial firms for a NY position. 100% of them wanted 3.5 GPA from an Ivy league school.

Seriously?

I applied anyway and got some responses.

What is a b-school? Like a state school?

I am new to this. I don't allow ssh logins password based.

The hackers fail according to sshd but logwatch lists a list of chinese and russian attempts.

I was hoping my firewall would block them. I tried entering a block of ips but some of the same ones are connecting.

I don't know what this means:

Illegal users from: undef: 20 times 183.60.177.246: 7 times 217.14.134.68: 7 times 219.149.30.170: 6 times

It is interesting, when you read a lot of his stuff. It seems that absolutely did not want to worry about the "user" space. User software.

I always wondered, did he ever write user level code. He did write 'git' eventually. But I wonder what else, what does he think of web application development, etc?

I didn't want to say it but yea I thought BeautifulSoup has way more development.

I wonder if you disagree with him, he will unleash his wraith upon ye.

What do you about all of those chinese hackers hitting your sshd server.

I have 30 different ips and fail2ban doesn't seem to ban them.

It may seem like a waste of $20 a month if you aren't doing anything big with it.

But you can setup a linux virtual server on linode and go through all of those steps on your own. Also test out your setup.

Linus responds...

And yea Java is popular and doesn't really abstract much. I guess with interfaces, it is kind of a rough abstraction.

I thought the entire concept was kind of confusing.

Some even recommend writing the on paper, I find it hard to do.

I asked this on reddit. The one thing about tech interviews. They could ask anything. Literally any facet of technology. How do you prepare for being asked anything?

In the Gayle book, they go from binay trees, to bit manipulation to queues, etc, etc. Of course that won't even get touched in some technical interviews, it will be more knowledge based, (Describe polymorphism).

I rarely get the complex algorithms (I am not in Silicon Valley) but I get a great deal of logic questions or draw this abstract concept out on the board. And it is hard for me to deal with NOT knowing a problem.

For example, if SQL is on the job description, might as well cover every aspect of SQL which aren't really covered in the technical interview books. How do indexes work, etc, etc? Venn diagram outer joins.

True,

But how much of your time or HR's time goes to scanning through resumes. If you only spend time reading 30 resumes. And it possible a recruiter database has 100's, possibly with good candidates, then you must missed a good set of candidates.

And then there is a timing issue. How long is your job post out there? 2 weeks, 2 months? So in the window of time that your post is out there, candidates have to find your site and your job post.

Recruiters, that is what they do. Everyday, they are scanning for candidates, filling positions.

I don't like it but at least it makes sense.
