Unsurprisingly, that goes for just about any idea in software development. I worked in one code base that heard small functions are best, so every function was less than three lines long. You don’t gain anything by replacing `lst.get(0)` with `get_first_item_in_list(lst)` (in fact, understanding becomes much more difficult), but breaking down functions into the smallest units that make sense independently within the business domain can be very helpful, both for understanding and testing.

My problem is there is no such thing as a lifetime subscription anymore. More like "until the company gets acquired and the new parent company gets bored or until I get bored, whichever comes first".

I want the Utes to have success in this, but I don’t want the general attitude to be “trash the desert because there is sun there”.

Ksplice is the leading technology that allows administrators to patch the kernel on the fly with zero downtime and zero disruption. We're a distributed team of engineers forming part of the Linux and Virtualization group at Oracle with a passion for working on exciting technology, software engineering and all things Linux. Ksplice powers some of Oracle's biggest systems from massive databases to clouds. Join us on our quest to minimize downtime and secure systems. We're looking for a systems engineer to join us, helping Ksplice patch even more of the system, support new releases and improving our workflow.

Required skills include:

    * Deep understanding of developing the Linux/UNIX kernel
    * Skilled with software development best practices including TDD
    * Expert level C/C programming
    * Understanding of security issues and defences in compiled languages
    * Strong experience with Python
    * Excellent problem solving and debugging skills
    * Test automation

They also probably could have succeeded, too, if not for other systemic problems within the company.

The 737 Max is stable, as all commercial aircraft have to be. MCAS is not a system to take an unstable 737 and make it stable. It's a system that was meant to take a changed 737 and make it fly nearly identical to a previous 737, so pilots didn't have to get a new type rating (a very big deal for airlines).

Juan Brown, a commercial pilot and certified flight mechanic, on YouTube has a (great series of videos)[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6SYmp3qb3uPp1DS7fDy7...] talking through the mess that is Boeing made of MCAS, including what the actual problem is.

Every policy comes with an associated cost, and those costs can add up quickly. People always ask "what will this policy make better", but, just as important, is to ask, "what will this policy make worse".

The Ksplice group at Oracle develops technology to patch the Linux kernel and applications while they are running, eliminating unplanned downtime for systems running Oracle Linux and keeping up-to-date with known security fixes. We're looking for a full stack software engineer and a systems engineer to join our team.

The full stack software engineer will help us expand the web services we provide to our customers and the tools needed to provide those services. You must be comfortable with the entire stack, from the Linux shell at the bottom to Python and Django (or similar) at the top (bonus points for experience with Terraform or Ansible). You must also be willing to assist with operational tasks. Expert knowledge of Python and web development as well as experience deploying to Linux is a must. Contact [email protected].

The systems engineer will help us Ksplice patch even more of the system, support new releases and improve our workflow. You'll like working at all levels of a Linux system, developing tooling in Python+bash, analyzing security vulnerabilities in Linux kernel patches, enhancing the Ksplice tools and improving the workflow. Expert level C/C++ programming, experience developing the Linux kernel and an understanding of security issues and defences in compiled languages are required. Contact [email protected].

Ksplice is the leading technology that allows administrators to patch the critical components of a Linux system on the fly with zero downtime and zero disruption. We're looking for an experienced DevOps engineer to join our team. As a DevOps engineer, you would be responsible for automating the deployment, monitoring, and day-to-day management of Ksplice's infrastructure for building and serving critical security "hot fix" updates for various flavors of the Linux kernel and for user space applications. At any given point, this may involve ssh'ing into a machine, updating a configuration manifest, troubleshooting a running system, spinning up a docker registry, or providing guidance on the best deployment options for a new service.

The Oracle Ksplice team is a remote team, so you must be comfortable interacting remotely and working autonomously. We are a small team that expects its members to be comfortable with self-directed work.

Skills and experience required:

  * Automation using configuration management using software such as puppet, ansible, chef, etc.
  * Administration of Linux systems.
  * Knowledge of Linux virtualization best practices.
  * Command of using programming for systems automation.
  * Python is strongly preferred, but similar languages are acceptable.
  * Ability to work autonomously to achieve provided goals.

Our customers depend on us to keep their systems up-to-date and secure, so we would depend on you to make sure our systems stay running and secure.

Ksplice has a rich infrastructure that utilizes virtualization heavily, and we are looking for somebody who can help us take that infrastructure and modernize it. While some day-to-day system administration will be required, this is primarily a development role. As such, strong programming skills and an understanding of how to automate system tasks are required. Ksplice primarily uses Python, so experience with that is preferred, but experience with any similar language to perform system administration automation is acceptable.

As screwed up as drug laws are in the US, they are child's play compared to what some countries have. And once they think that you might be trafficking, you are in for a bad day.

    MyTable.objects.
        filter(some_row__gt=5).
        exlude(other_row='q').
        order_by('other_row')

The bigger problem remains: lambda functions are hideous in Python. map() will forever be ugly if you try to use it in the same way it is used in most functional languages.

I think that is exactly what they expected. Terrorists and pedophiles are the best way for federal TLAs to expand their powers.

He doesn't need to present a great argument against security or performance. There doesn't even need to be such an argument. If you've ever spent six months trying to find out why a content management system blows up under the strangest of conditions, even when you have a full debug stack, you understand why that argument may be able to stand alone.

The place where his argument falls down, IMO, is, like others have said, in assuming that everything is binary: everything is unikernel or it is not. And that's just silly.

I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. Beginners tend to look to others' code more frequently (often including copying and pasting), which means their "style" is really an amalgamation of multiple styles.

On the other hand, even when more experienced programmers look to others' code, they will still fold it into their own style, even when including large amounts of somebody else's code. Their own style shows through the entire project.

However, both of us are just hypothesizing. A great follow-up to this work would be to look at why beginners are harder to identify. I'm sure the other obvious follow up, "how to anonymize yourself", is in the works somewhere.

The other thing I'd be interested in is how well this holds up for multi-person projects. Would it be possible to identify if I submitted code to the Tor project? How much do I have to contribute before identification becomes likely.
