python is usually the next step up in admin land

python is a pretty standard install on linux systems since so many things like you're talking about use it

You missed one:

Don't take issue with the platform. Take issue with companies that are so fanatical with "we're a microsoft/java/javascript/esperanto shop!" that they'd cram it into medical devices and nuclear reactor controls before doing some sort of sober domain analysis.

Everything has its own set of problems.

tldr is great. I can't stand --help output that drones on like Proust.

Technical videos have helped me perfect my pronunciation of "umm" and "uhh."

Thought I might follow up since I had an interview today - I never stop interviewing - and was asked about duration. My off-the-cuff response was "if a company invests in its employees, offers growth and promotes internally, then I will work for a place longer. If it does not and only offers a dead-end role with no appreciable growth, then I will look for that opportunity elsewhere."

18 months is the Holmes limit at Bank of America and Wells Fargo - they terminate you and let you know when you start that it's going to happen. It's normal in fintech. But don't change without a funded and secured offer.

It won't fly. Not when a popular red meat election year topic is breaking google up and one such year is just around the corner.

Right-clicking and inspecting the end of it is interesting. It's like html waltz

I'm not really going to address the speaker directly since after reading NSF forums for a few years, I'm convinced aerospace engineers can devolve any innocent or academic discussion into 4chan levels at rates exceeding the speed of light. Of note: the speaker doesn't speak to anything specific that is being worked on to address issues, and only addresses "linux" as a whole, which is about as useful as addressing SVR4 as a whole.

I will address the blog writer as not being particularly diligent in filling that gap, though. Here's a few links of what's going on in that realm since there's people here of all walks and ages:

Wind River RTLinux

Zephyr Project

OSADL SIL2LinuxMP

Xenomai

 

Yeah, uh.... at least ublock's EasyPrivacy list catches most of them
