A VERY vocal minority do not want Systemd on ideological grounds (although I suspect it is more a matter of the new and different scares them, no matter what advantages it may offer)
"new and different" actually is a huge problem, combined with what appears to be a very atypical adoption process happening in a very short period of time (in Debian, within a single release cycle).
Now, ignore the vocal minority. There's always a vocal minority. Sometimes they're right, most times they're just loud, but in the bigger picture they're still a minority.
It's the silent majority you need to be worried about, and the silent majority don't want systemd. This has nothing to do with the technical merit of systemd. They don't want any substantial deep changes. They want small, piecemeal, trackable and revertable changes. The very conservative people who's livelihoods depend on Linux "just working" are looking at this systemd business and flat-out wondering if the distros have lost their collective minds?
My group, who are usually pretty near the bleeding edge by our corporate standards (we generally track current stable releases and and deviate from stock as little as possible) normally track Debian stable and we're seriously considering bypassing/delaying Jessie. I can't imagine selling systemd to the other parts of the organization who have deep mods to the distro and reams of detailed documentation that'll have to be completely gutted.
Basically, all this discussion is pointless noise. Watch the adoption rates for the next couple of release cycles of the more "conservative" distros who have been pulled into the systemd gravity well. Particularly adoption rates where there might be a desktop/server breakdown. That's the silent majority passing judgement. I don't think it's going to be good.
What about productivity costs? People want things done NOW! If you have a team which all they do is train 50% of the time your productivity is cut in half.
As soon as they gain experience they can earn $60,000 a year and will dump you.
Yes there is a shortage of highly skilled IT developers and this may piss slashdotters off acting in their own interests but only the medical field is this common. Most college grads are happy they make $30,000 a year and that is considered a good job believe it or not for them in this economy.
So bring in more foreigners to keep wages down and fill in vacant positions. For the business owners don't they matter too. It is not greedy to not want to shell out $100,000 a year for non managerial positions that require 7 years experience. That is just batshit crazy.
No IE 6 was more like a Trojan which spread mixed with Cryptowall/locker which prevented people from leaving platforms.
lets say you are an auto supply parts manufactor. 1 and just 1 customer uses IE 6! Shoot now you use IE 6. Now all the other customers must use IE 6 to use the portal and so on??!
Windows 7 comes ah cool I will just
It spreads like a Trojan horse everwhere.
Unless my knowledge is wrong I assumed they were encrypted. Also if you are backing up your data for a re-image the files then are unreadable with a different key.
But they were made binary on purpose which is what SMF on Solaris does as well.
I do have more limited experience in the server unix realm compared to working with other technologies.
Perhaps SystemD is a poor implementation?
FreeBSD also is thinking about using an event driven init too
But in truness not all change is good. Look at Metro, Gnome 3, pulse audio, Vista, etc. Many slashdotters have turned conservative and some even proudly run XP. This would be -1 or +5 funny 10 years ago to see such comments like that but now they are +5 insightful. Perhaps Slashdot is aging too.
But yes init is not perfect and was designed for no events at all. No changes for servers sitting in a computer room having 1 daemon and +35 cmd line tools at the most circa 1985. It is not designed for laptops falling and sleep and waking up on a different network nor servers connected to the internet which need to act differently when hacked etc.
Have you seen how much it costs to become a graduate of anything in the US?
Perhaps the High tech companies should start training people. Even starbucks can train people to make coffee. Coding to the standard these companies seem to want is not that expensive and they may earn some loyalty.
How do you know that barista will be a great coder when done? What will stop her for leaving as soon as training is finished?
Training should be up to the employee since they leave all the time. Working for the same company for 30 years is not true anymore. Times have changed so employers do not expect people to stay for more than 2 years anyway as they lay off when the stock price is too low.
Under these conditions even at higher prices it does not make economic sense to train but to outsource to get the work done or gasp pay a managers salary for a kid out of school.
Sydney is very expensive but so are San Fransisco and New York which are for worse.
I find the GP statement not true unless the kid is a manger at the local super market in Australia or they have very high food costs
Expect they speak Spanish and not English. I work at one right now and our Spanish operations in Panama could probably do it for just as cheap there and unlike Cuba they have these things called fiber OC and T3 wan connections for traffic and voice which I doubt exist in Cuba currently.
Well I knew college kids who got $13/hr and were grateful to have a job here.
Seems 28 is way too high
Bad for Americans.
I have to say this? I am in Desktop and some server support now and I deeply regret following the advice of do not code as only Indians will do it by 2010 or so. Kicking myself!
Why? College grads make $60,000 with 0 experience in the US?? I know this opinion is unpopular on Slashdot but it does add credence to maybe their is a shortage of good developers as only MBAs make this out of school.
If Cubans can do it cheaper and add freedom and prosperity to end tyranny like what happened in China then why are we agaisn't it besides protecting our own self interests
The same ones who wrote only for IE 6 to get done 2 weeks quicker and now these folks are stuck on XP still types right?
This is why most companies or I should say many do contractors. I had to do that at my current employer for 2 projects to earn their trust. Infact my whole IT department at my site had to contract last year before being brought on.
We had bad apples from before. If a contractor fucks up we can replace him. Yes they are sometimes the bottom of the barrel and during good economic times like the boom we are seeing now we are short on talent. During a recession we get top talent too.
That is changing now.
Web monkeys where they open frontpage and click and stuff and edit IE 6 specific bugs out in the CSS then publish it are gone.
Today employers need someone who is an database optimization expert, java script developer expert, Djanga, Drupal, c# ASP.net, and objective C to port it to the iphone. Do you have any idea how complex Drupal is?
A good database admin is hard and employers want one person to do everything to cut costs.
If I were making a corporate site I would want someone who knows nosql, and have a CS degree if I needed large transaction support, the artwork? Who cares I would hire an intern for the design part or a UX expert if I had the right budget.
This is 2015 not 1998
Because the real bottleneck in web servers is the database.
The NoSQL argument and the common WEBSCALE video posted here talks about this delima. ACID relational data can slow the mightiest of mainframes to the ground and it does scale with N complexity too as it is I/0 based when doing inner or outer joins.
The mathematical theory part is optimizing it for RDBMS reliability without taking the site down when needing secure transactions etc. So yes it is frustrating to the interviewer who knows art and wants an artistic site and an employer who keeps having outages when more than 300 folks are logged in and running transactions at the same time.
The proper thing is to hire the artist for the gui and a mathematician and EE guy do the optimization on the backend. But who are we kidding that would cost money? It is cheaper to have 1 guy do both and give the savings to the CEO right? So make it so no one but lyers are qualified to do the job.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
