Cloud skills are complicated and in high demand. Smart enterprises need a practical approach to the staffing shortage, and smart employees need multicloud skills. And some people have a cloud problem

Someday it would be interesting to compare the knowledge of the CEOs/CIOs,C*Os who are pushing this, to the knowledge of the programmers programming it. I suspect the former greatly lags behind the latter, because the former is full of buzzwords vs. actual knowledge. And I suspect if pay became commensurate with knowledge, the world would change overnight.

- Real-estate prices would plummet, as the CxOs could no longer afford the mortgages on their McMansions and they are repossessed by the banks
- Ditto for high-end vehicles
- The CxOs would be forced to compete for living space with the other homeless
- Violent crime would increase, as the CxOs tried to make ends meet with no visible talents or abilities
- The several States would have to build more prisons to incarcerate all those criminal ex-CxOs
- There would be a shortage of builders, requiring the States to put all of those ex-CxOs on the chain gang!
What could be bad?

Sounds like a wonderful world! If Frank Capra was still alive he could make a feel-good movie about it!

Even better, 99% of our current politicians and bureaucrats would be gone if knowledge was a prerequisite.

The collapse of buildings when the ex-CxOs decided to speed up construction when no one was watching by "optimizing" away the installation of 80% of the fasteners and 90% of the bracing specified in the blueprints as needed to maintain structural integrity.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Romans allegedly had a very good quality-control system for their bridges. When a bridge was complete, the engineer was made to stand under the bridge, and a legion was marched over the bridge. If the bridge collapsed, the engineer would have been the first to be killed.
I'm sure we can think up a similar arrangement for the chain gang workers...

If you apply for a patent, your invention must have some clearly identifiable new element that has not been seen before. The newness (the "invention height") must be non-trivial. Patent administrations across the world vary in their requirements - the variation is much lower today than it was, say, thirty years ago - but in most jurisdictions, a significant invention height is required.
If developing a new OS - or even more: programming language - required you to obtain in advance something parallel to a patent, a clear definition of the new elements you want to contribute, proving a minimum "development height" of your new OS/language design, then at least 95%, maybe up to 99%, of all new OS/language projects would be rejected.
(To extend the parallel to patents: You may play around with a patented technology in your basement hobby workshop, or in the development lab of your company, or at the university campus, as much as you want. The patent protection only applies to commercial exploitation of the invention. An 'invention patent' allowing you to create a new OS/language should not prohibit any internal or private development, but only the right to seek public recognition of it by publication of it through media or academic channels.)

Since the world had far more secure OS's before the advent of Unix I don't think any new "secure" OS can be patented based on security. OpenVMS is the only OS that went to a black hat convention and came out unbreached. IBM's OS/360 was also secure. The advent of null based buffers in Unix has become the root source of over 90% of all software breaches.

Quote: "If the devices around us can't be mathematically proven to keep data secure, then the personally-identifiable data they collect – such as images of people and recordings of their voices – could be accessible to malicious software," note the AmbiML team, who adds that security is often tacked on at the end.
Google of course objects to it's competition also being able to hoover up your data too.

Linux kernel boss Linus Torvalds has released the first release candidate for version 6.1 of the project and added an appeal for developers to make his life easier by adding code earlier in the development cycle. He...does know they're developers, right?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm asking because I'm ignorant.
Are those developers/contributors paid employees or people using their own time to add to the project?
If the former, he's right.
If the latter, be glad you're getting the free help Linus, go give your blanket a squeeze.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Very wise.
BUT.... the kind of people who are hardcore coders (and you have to be a hardcore coder to work on the kernel) tend by nature to be all-nighter sort of people, and this is true whether they are employed or volunteers.
I know that when I'm working on code I really like I don't want to stop. I can't stop! At least, I can't stop until I reach a point where I feel there is a natural break or the job is done. If that requires an all-nighter then so be it.
This isn't a matter of "grow[ing] up" -- it's a matter of personality, of the fundamental kind of people who do this work at all. They are who they are, they are what there are. They must work according to their inate requirements.
I'd have thought that Linus would know this.

Well there is that too.

Mostly the former.
What Linus should do is to make his expectations about when PRs should be submitted to be included in the next kernel explicit. ie for inclusion in the kernel release on day D, all non-vulnerability fix PRs must be submitted by D-5.
