i guess the reasoning behind using css/js in gnome is so that it can be rendered in a web browser? that's... neat, but i can't imagine many people actually using that functionality? seems like it'd be very slow

like, i know there was a broadway backend that allowed you to use it in a web browser, but the last time i tried it (a few years ago) it didn't work well and was so slow that it wasn't really usable i'm sure they've made some progress on the performance front (if only because devices are faster now), but still. seems misguided

ugh goddamnit i installed it directly to a sd card (shows up as /dev/mmcblk1, the internal emmc ssd is /dev/mmcblk0) but it hangs on boot. works fine with an external reader though  why can't they just make it easye: it hangs after bringing the cpu up. the next thing in the log on a normal boot is genirq initialization, so i'm assuming there's some kind of conflict there? idk enough about the linux boot process to know for sure. i have a feeling i'm going to be reading a lot about it pretty soon though i'm also still not really sure why an external reader would work while the internal one doesn't, though. afaict it's also connected via usb (albeit internally), but i could be wrong. i don't think SPI is fast enough to even hit the max of UHS-I though, and i'm pretty sure it's not PCI-E ... so what else could it be?

i suppose i could have it boot from the internal ssd and then mount the sd card as extra storage, but i have absolutely no idea how to do that on clear. like, the debian and ubuntu installers allow you to set something like that up from the get-go, but the clear installer seems to require you install it to its own disk (there's an option to just install it to a partition, but i couldn't figure out how to get it to work. since i'm relatively sure i had my partitions set up correctly, i suspect it just doesn't) ideally i'd like to use the internal ssd for at least home, and maybe keep the system directories on the sd card. idk. either way i don't know how to proceed really i know there must be a way to do this manually but i don't know how. can anyone point me in the right direction?

Makes me glad I only work with linux for fun, and not for profit. On a related note: I just ended a streak of being linux free in my professional live for almost 20 years. Despite being helped along by 5 years of using solaris at work. My new workplace has some programs that run in linux VDIs. The vdi runs centos 7 and kde 4. Nostalgic. And happy that I have absolutely nothing to do with admining.

What I love about elitist goobers like this is they're provably wrong. Google, a company that actually makes money, did research on this stuff years ago and found poo poo like academic performance only correlated to employee performance within like four years of someone's graduation. They also discovered that their 16-person interview process wasn't filtering candidates better than just having four people interview a person. This was like 10 years ago now. So not only are people like this wrong but out of touch. Of course processes and standards like this aren't about hiring the right people.

I can at least understand Fermi questions like "how many doctors are there in Chicago?" where the answer is more about the thought process, but asking someone a dumb question with a specific answer while they're on the spot doesn't reveal anything about how a person solves real world problems. That place went on to develop a terrible rep for how they treated their employees (surprise!) so bullet dodged, I guess. Even at a place I ended up for a long time, they dropped the Fermi bullshit when one of the senior HMs had a woman say, "I dunno, that's what google is for," and he realized how stupid the process was, since that's objectively the best answer anyway.

i dont even ask questions more technical than “tell me about your experiences with linux” basically all my questions are trying to understand what motivates you and what you enjoy learning “tell me your greatest achievement of the last 5 years across your entire life - not limiting yourself to school or work” “pretend i hired you, and got you all set up with access to everything we have in all the labs world wide, then did not assign you any work. your job is literally to ‘do stuff then tell me about it if its cool’ and you get paid. what stuff would you choose to start working on?” “tell me the difference between a software engineer and a computer scientist “ “do you prefer making your own stuff and watching people use it, or do you prefer using other peoples stuff and telling them its terrible and heres why and heres how to make it less terrible?”
