justauser··on Did everybody see what just happened? The pendulum has swung.
What's the keyword for this article on AOL?
justauser··on Richard Stallman: How I do my Computing
If you're referring to Cisco, it's IOS. You're right though that the odds of him not touching something like IOS or JUNOS or IronWare border on close to impossible.
justauser··on Side Project: 1 Month, $10,000
Congratulations on the launch and the beautiful work you're producing. I'd love to hear your feedback on the very popular discussion from a few days ago here (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3804134) on Raganwald's blog, "I don't hire unlucky people" (http://raganwald.posterous.com/i-dont-hire-unlucky-people) . Specifically, I'm curious as to how much you as the creator of this service think making a resume standout really helps an applicant compared to a bland resume from a measurably more qualified candidate? Thanks!

A snippet from the blog... --- “First, I stopped caring so much about little things like how 'professionally' a resume was formatted or whether the cover email had spelling mistakes. I realized that throwing people away because of a spelling mistakes was really another way of discarding half the resumés because you don’t want to work with unlucky people.”

“Wait,” said Oscar, “but surely all things being equal, the person who takes the time to get the email right is better than the person who doesn’t?”

“Sure,” agreed Ernestine, “But all other things aren’t equal. What if the email with the spelling mistake came from someone who’s really busy because they’re talented and have a lot to do in their current position?” ---

Does anyone know what language the previous JSON parser was written in...Erlang?

Is Damien Katz still involved or completely moved onto the Membase...Couchio...Couchbase entity now?

I like the layout and high contrast of the new site. My only comment is perhaps a header link to the "Quick Links" at the footer. I tend to want to look at documentation quite a bit and the scroll to the footer was not intuitive.

justauser··on Why the Juju Charm Store Will Change the Way You Use Ubuntu Server
A few questions maybe some of you already know. What's the "instance" that is spun up...an LXC container? Also, is this only for Server or will also be available on the desktop Ubuntu? Cloud only or is this also for local use?

justauser··on Postgres 9.2 will feature linear read scalability up to 64 cores
That's a tremendous improvement. Obviously, I don't know the particulars of your situation but are you planning to update to more current hardware? The 5300 Cloverton was 65nm process and 2006 era. I'd be curious about the effect of using the 3.2+ kernel on the new e5-2600 Sandybridge process.
justauser··on Postgres 9.2 will feature linear read scalability up to 64 cores
Change the branding to Supermicro and cut the cost to $5,000 and suddenly, many dedicated host providers out there have these servers. We're probably only 2-3 years away from this core count being a $2,000-$3,000 box. Throw ARM and Tilera architecture and whatever AMD is doing with the acquisition of SeaMicro in there and it might even accelerate that pace.
justauser··on A turning point for GNU libc
Is eglibc likely to merge into glibc?

I was under the impression that one of the reasons Debian moved from glibc to eglibc was friction with the project maintainer.

Does anyone else have trouble reading the website with the background/font style or am I just realizing the gifts of middle-age?

Perhaps the "motivation" section would serve as a better landing page.

What's the current state of security with LXC? As I recall, Heroku relies on this for it's virtualization.
