How does one get diaper mixed in with their brain cells by accident?
One of the team members forgot to wash their hands after changing their kiddo's diaper.
Inadvertently, they might have spread Hand-Foot-Mouth to the entire team...
They're CANDIDATES. No "at the expense of".
The problem is that there are a lot of people that are like "well, you had 20% more candidates of group X, so why are you not hiring 20% more people from that group"? Failing to realize that just because you have 20% more candidates from that group doesn't necessarily mean that they are (a) qualified, or (b) would fit in.
And honestly, no company should compromise its hiring standards just to try to fit a certain percentage. Some may like it, but it's not good for the company - both in terms of performance, and employee moral. People that get hired because the company needs to fit a certain profile (racial, etc) quickly get known for that, and that one thing ends up getting attributed to them as why they were hired in the first place.
Simply put - you have to find the right people (regardless of race, sex, etc) for the position, and hold them all to the same standards.
Microsoft says there's no evidence these flaws have been successfully exploited.
I mean the whole point of doing these types of investigations is to try and prevent exploits from getting out into the wild.
Exactly; which is contrary to Microsoft's position that they don't fix something unless there is an exploit in the wild...
MS still holds a lot of Android patents. They can easily do an Apple and forbid use of them, which will completely paralyze Android.
What you mean all those patents that the Chinese outted and nearly the entire tech world found to be not relevant save about as many as you can count on your hands? Yeah, that's really going to stop Android...
He says it does not break the UNIX philosophy because everything is in the same code base purposely ignoring that it does not do one thing and do it well. He was creating a strawman.
The problem is that by putting things in the same code base, it encourages them to be inter-dependent to the exclusion of all else - which is exactly what everyone that doesn't like systemd complains about.
Separate repositories encourage being stable APIs that everyone has to work against; thus encouraging more things that can be switched out with each other, as well as standards, etc.
There's a reason behind it.
Well in this case, get some education before you post in ignorance. No it doesn't require a lot of code changes for applications to work. Why would you say that? Did you even bother to read the interview? Daemons don't require any changes either, though you can compile your daemon to use libsystemd to do backwards-compatible socket registration. In other words a daemon can be configured to use socket registration if it runs under systemd, but it will fall back to normal sockets without. So no backwards compatibility is lost.
Systemd requires only 3 parts to run: the init process, udev, and journald (which can write to syslog still) for early boot debugging. NOTHING else is required. And none of this pushes *any* special requirements on applications. Pottering himself says he has no idea where this notion that Gnome depends on systemd comes from. It should work fine on ConsoleKit. The problem could be that the Gnome devs haven't been maintaining the ConsoleKit code.
Yes ConsoleKit stopped being "maintained". This is why project like Devuan have put their weight behind people doing things like ConsoleKit2.
* Samba, yes, because it's a daemon.
There's no reason why Samba would benefit from being dependent on systemd. OpenRC provides the same functionality as systemd's init process, and smbd and nmbd are already long-running daemons, additional instances of which are managed by the initial daemon. Tools like daemontools (or, you know, init) already exist to start (and if necessary, restart) long-running daemons.
SaMBa is used in far too many places to really want to take on systemd as a dependency. It's used on everything from traditional Unix systems (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris) to Apple's MacOS, Linux, and embedded devices running Linux or a BSD. It would make zero sense for them to require systemd as a result.
This is also one of the issues that many, including myself, take with systemd since it now makes it harder to write portable software - one of the reasons many devs went to Linux from Windows.
"they" is plural. Using it to refer to a single person is grammatically wrong.
And using it to cover the singular is never written in the singuar - it's still written in the plural thereby grammatically correct.
"He or she" is proper English for referring to one person of unknown gender. It's much better than "they", because "they" is plural. It's only sloppiness that has allowed that to become acceptable usage.
No it's not. It only came into the English language through those trying to be "politically correct" in order to try to be "gender inclusive" instead of using the masculine encapsulation, and even then it was because they wanted to emphasize gender in the process - showing off their "inclusivity" by including both genders. The proper way to do that is to use "they".
Before that the term was never used to refer to an unknown person. Go study your grammar and English language history.
You can't use one method in one sentence and another method in the next sentence while referring to the same unknown person. Consistency is key.
Sure you can. People do it all the time. We've rejected the patriarchal view that "he" is always the way to refer to someone when you don't know their gender, and "it" objectifies people and is insulting.
People do so because they were not taught correctly because of the whole PC movement and their grammatical incorrectness. Keep in mind, this is not for referring to any specific person - it is for referring to an unknown person or group people. If you are referring to a specific person then yes you must use the correct gender.
Also, see my other posts in this thread - if you want to use the feminine to encapsulate that's fine too. Just be consistent. You have choices; but none of them are "he or she" if you want proper English grammar.
Just because people do, doesn't make it correct or right.
Honestly, if your (or anyone) tried to publish or reviewing that kind of grammar under something I was editing, I'd call it out and make you correct it.
or know that "he or she" is not grammatically correct when trying to be "gender neutral" which should use the neutral gender (it for singular or they for plural).
I would hope you would be aware that referring to someone as an "it" (for example, when not clear from the name what gender the person is, or the person is trans) can be pretty insulting, right?
Which is why it is normal to use "they" instead. It's up to the writer.
and then be consistent in what you are writing. You can't use one method in one sentence and another method in the next sentence while referring to the same unknown person. Consistency is key.
That's not supposed to mean you get 20 weeks of vacation each year.
That's a myth. Teachers will often have to be working several weeks after students are no longer in the classroom, as well as return several weeks before students do. Further, depending on the school those teachers may have to find seasonal work for the summer in order to keep their income high enough to pay the bills over the summer break.
Just saying, summer vacation is not necessarily very much of a vacation for teachers.
Several weeks ? Try one week after and one week before
I've known a few teachers that had to start 4 weeks before students did; while others that only had to 1 week before. So it varies.
in about the same time frame where English classes should be less about grammar and more about comprehension of literary works
Why should English classes be more about works of fiction and theatre by dead white European males and less about communicating your own ideas to other people?
Who said what materials? Does it really matter whether it is a translation of Homer's Ilyiad, Shakespear, or Godfrey Mutiso Gorry? The point is that you're looking at larger works to understand how language works in bigger and bigger pieces instead of small, isolated samples so you can learn about the bigger picture of writing instead of remaining in an isolated box.
And often covering such materials will lead to improvements in your own writing. That's not to say that writing would not be included, just that it would be more writing papers instead of diagraming sentences. So you will certainly be using your grammar and writing skills.
(FYI - this is coming from someone that is a relatively slow reader too.)
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
