@geerlingguy I think that it would make a lot of sense for system76 to widen their distribution to Europe. There's probably a hidden undiscovered market for ARM workstations because most of embedded is ARM and it does improve one's productivity when you have the same host and target CPU.

To actually upscale this business, even only in US, the system76 would really need to get into selling theses for other companies doing embedded ARM and provide leasing deals and support service to accompany that. It's cool what they do but it should also add value and not just be cool... Otherwise eventually there will be existential crisis :-)

@geerlingguy That said, I really "wanted" to buy it but it would have been impractical lifestyle driven choice ;-) Not a good investment angle for doing a paid profession.

I upgraded my development machine, and actually look a bit at these but ended up with 9950X based machine because of:

1. Compatibility with some applications like Google Chrome and even Steam.
2. No EU distribution hub realized so far.
3. It becomes still quite expensive overall, especially since the lack of distribution in the EU region.

These look like issues that take at least few years to resolve so perhaps next time :-)

It's a new year, and you know what that means: time to confirm your website is still readable in Netscape® Navigator 4

Last year overall was pretty tough period in the job market. I felt somewhat insecure what is going to happen so gotta be grateful to have shit together :-)

It is unfortunate that Fedora does not enable /dev/ntsync in its default kernel.

Great start for a year. I have a tech job. I've started to work on two new kernel features after some more quiet period. Could be worse.

I heard from some friends from Japan that as of today already, they have monetized hydrogen cars as a society, including the refueling logistics network..

IMHO inspiring and (actual) global tech leadership.

Jani 110% agree with you!

Like with anything I try to find some framework for measuring tools and then do the Excel job ;-)

If I had to make a "how to implement ANY feature to kernel" I would focus that too on measurement. Almost every time when it clicks inside your head how you take your test samples, also idea for implementation suddenly unrolls. It's pretty easy to then find what you need from kernel tree. Learning a slice of subsystem is 1% and forming the right question is 99%.

"leading programming language", "the most popular programming language" etc. Why it is a thing to rank this? I get gathering statistics but not it being an up-front thing.

I have not yet had a job where I would need such list for accomplishing anything :-)

Company/organization-wide decision making might need to look at such statistics for making long-term choices perhaps. It's pretty useless information overall...

@Aissen It is my first from scratch driver since SGX driver. That project made me so exhausted that I'm actually happier now that I do my kernel things unpaid and out of passion only...

Previously a professional kernel developer. Now probably like con artist or crypto scam specialist, since isn't everyone working blockchains something like that :-) I also have TPM2 asymmetric keys in progress but it is paused for a while (as this feels more inspiring for the moment).

@Aissen Looking at existing code base for the loopback driver, I'd find any excuse not to review it because it would be too much work to tell all the details "what needs to be done".

So I believe that once there is a cleaner driver and easy to run test program, and legit use NON-PROPRIETARY use cases clearly explained, also maintainers give less hate :-) And today companies have started to anyway prefer in-tree drivers more, as it is just plain more practical and cheaper over long period of time. We are big enough, and your proprietary crap will be made obsolete by competitors.
