It's cleaner and better organized than Linux. It's actually easier than Linux.

The only hard part is getting the hardware to work, since there's less driver support for FreeBSD than for Linux. (Admittedly, that's a serious drawback if it impacts you, but nothing if it doesn't).

These are the words of someone who never liked Star Wars to begin with, and wants it to die.

In reality Star Wars is a fine universe, and all it takes is one good story set in that universe to bring life to it. I'd like to see how Palpatine can truly be defeated (who is more the Sith ideology than a character).

Oh, that's good fact finding. Nicely done.

... some plumbing work done, Mario will show up with two apprentices. And sit in their truck for a few hours on a negotiated mandatory break.

Right. A while back, CloudFlare was doing its "are you human" tests*. And then failing mid-test when it couldn't pull some stuff from an untrusted site (something like error-report.com, IIRC). Reason for the failure? That site had been identified by my (very consientious) ISP as a malware source and blocked.

*Actually, more of an "are you runing JavaScript, so our customers can upload some annoying tracking crap to your machine" test.

Worth mentioning that the skillset required to get promoted is not the same as the skillset required to make your team effective.

Some CEOs try to align the two, but I've come to realize that other CEOs actually want sycophant employees to say sweet things to them. King Lear is real. I don't know how you can finish adolescence and still want that, but it's a massive goal of a lot of CEOs.

Maybe you would prefer this movie.

Nice investigation work. Did they give an indication why they left?

I'll be honest I don't even know what this means.

There are two types of managers. Low level managers who are just trying to take care of their team, and managers who are trying to climb the ladder.

The managers who are trying to climb the ladder are WORSE than nothing, because they will actively slow their employees down so they can hire more people below them. Ever have a useless meeting that could have been an email? Now you know why, a manager who is worse than nothing.

From the article:

Presumably it's aimed at being a Driverless Taxi, not a consumer car.

The article contains this gem:

That's a good thing. If their top engineers were leaving, that would be a bad thing. When management leaves, the engineers become more efficient.

Embrace the Tao.

Alternate spelling for "malice."

Particularly since the sun doesn't shine there.

Set it down right on top of MH370.
