I would hope Tesla stuffs every battery they produce into a "test lab" where they are charged during the sunny day and discharged during the evening.... by selling the excess power to the grid when its most needed (and most expensive I should imagine).
it helps Tesla figure out which batteries are good, and acts as exactly what renewable energy needs most - storage capabilities for the evening.
oh sorry - I didn't get the joke, I thought kdaemonhostd was a real thing! That's how bad this systemd thing has become
Its actually a very old way to run services. Windows has been doing it this way for years.
Run process explorer on Windows, click on a svchost.exe process and see what services its running. It made more sense on Windows as a Windows process is more heavy than a Linux one, this is the same reason threads are more common on Windows compared to Linux's spawning processes to provide the same solution.
Anyway, one issue is reliability - if you want to restart a borked Apache, you can tell it to restart, and if it doesn't you can kill it. Systemd, you'll have to kill the daemonhost that hosts the Apache service, and kill all the other running services too. Assuming the security model allows you to do that.
I thin Stallman's philosophy is quite simple: its not about free software really, its about freedom to change the software you run (ok, that effectively means free software, but bear with me).
He was originally annoyed that he couldn't replace some unix command, so came up with the GPL so that all software derived from it could be replaced, mainly because you could recompile with different code - but I think he'd be as happy with proprietary stuff in there, as long as you can replace it with your own version.
At least, I hope this is what he intended, as the idea that all software must be free and modifyable regardless is a bit too extreme for me.
America.... home of the fr... yeah right.
Anyway, take a look at the kind of books that are *taught* in schools:
Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare
Macbeth by Shakespeare
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Julius Caesar by Shakespeare
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Hamlet by Shakespeare
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
So lets see... underage sex, murder of your relatives, regicide, racism, lynchings, rape, adultery, organised crime, a mentally-ill killer and of course - lawless schoolboys killing each other! What's not to love about the American school system, yeehaw!
meh., they want their cake.... and they want Microsoft to pay for it, a huge cake, larger than you could ever eat in a lifetime, with cherries on top.
Worked for the EU after all !
usually though its "we need $100,000 for office licences, plus $30000 for unforseen developmental and admin expenses".
However, you're right in that its easier to ask for a budget, and the bigger the budget the more important a manager you are, so therefore, you buy the most easily explained tool that costs the most. And then you pad it out with that office 365 rollout, and the sharepoint site that never gets used.
Leave and be hired back is exactly what I did but....
there are many who couldn't hack it as developers who now manage outsourced teams(and still can't really hgack it, buit at least now they can cover their incompetence with a mix of blame culture, meetings and emails).
I once interviewed a guy for a dev job and when we mentioned the new outsourced team he piped up with a lot of enthusiasm "do you need someone to manage them" as if it were a career progression (and I suppose to him, it would have been for reasons explained earlier). I didn't hire him but it showed where the useless people headed.
Its interesting though - so many programmers think that programming is a cool and important job that requires a ton of skill and talent and dedication.... and then they learn at around 40 that is all a load of old bollocks, hence the reason companies have outsourced much of it to 3rd world places. A programmer is just a tech equivalent of a bricklayer.
so to keep being employed in IT, you need to change with it, and learn that programming is less important than the design and architecture that goes into it, those roles (along with managing the 3rd world brickies and customers) are what's important.
Not as much fun though... but since when was work supposed to be fun.
this speaks of the new dawn where we might not be able to hack our shell scripts to do whatever, but we can write higher level code to effectively manage their operation.
w00t, no more writing shitty bash shell scripts, now we can write proper code in Python!...
oh no, wait.... we replaced everything for that?
1. ok, so it needs a bit of rework to multithread its process-starting system. I that significantly more difficult that rewriting the entire loader?
2. So it needs an extension to monitor services. Technically, I think this is better handled by a different task, one that is more into monitoring rather than blindly just continually-restarting a service that's crashed due to some external dependancy failure. Again, its not much of a task to add this than it is to rewrite the entire loader.
3. Individual services should be the ones to care about their configuration. Why would the loader be the one-stop place for all kinds of stuff that should be part of the OS or part of a processes dependancy tree. This is probably the worst bit, making systemd significantly more monolithic than before.
Is that the only problem with it? If so, its pretty easy to modify it to have the capability.
I think the problem is more a case of not restarting crashed services because
There's a bit of a difference between reporting on something, and having it turned into a good-v-evil, or commentary on America foreign policy, or just how evil the West is. The current ISIS video is a lot more than reporting, the reason they did it in the first place is entirely propaganda on their part,
Hell, at the moment installing the Russian font (well, the rouble symbol) can bluescreen your computer! I'd rather send a word document with bullet points of my junk to employers, I can blame it on Word screwing the formatting and everyone will believe me (snigger)
oh shit. that means all those devices are stuffed full of unpatched vulnerabilities.
I think you're believing the Oracle hype they sell you in the installer. Most devices are written in C.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
