So sick of these “Accept all cookies” / “reject optional cookies” dark patterns, sites that do this should be banned
loloquwowndueo•1h ago
Yes but :

1- use the consent-o-matic extension, or 2- open in incognito mode, accept whatever, then when closing the session all the cookies they gave you go away.

fnord77•38m ago
consent-o-matic failed on this site
loloquwowndueo•8m ago
That’s why I gave you the other option :)

And embedded Linux!

I’ve had a hell of a time finding good embedded Linux devs.

I got insanely lucky to hire two this year.

What are you looking for? Yocto experience? Experience writing drivers? C/Rust/C++? Hardware / FPGA experience as well?

I know Linux and majored in Engineering in college. Do I count? Lol
therealfiona•15m ago
What I'd give to have someone who's Linux experience isn't using a Mac and using brew to install stuff.

I'm the only one with formal Linux experience on my team and I'm the only one who doesn't have to look up how to get to the logs...

ProTip: Raise your rates. The "typical salary ranges" are laughable, even in 2008 Dollars.
tylergetsay•5m ago
I'm curious if these are somehow informed by real job postings. if so, I agree it's pretty obvious why these are in high demand (of employers).
mixmastamyk•6m ago
None of these are in high-demand right now in my experience. Despite being an expert in most of these listed, I haven't even had an interview in a couple of months.

Wish it were as easy as getting some certifications, but I don't think anyone has ever asked for one specifically in my entire career.

esseph•4m ago
There could be a lot of reasons for that. The market in general is awful for hiring right now. Just broken.

Linux is a kernel and has nothing to do with anything. What you really mean is GNU/Linux, the operating system.
uberduper•2m ago
I've made quite a career out of knowing how linux works and not reinventing the wheels it provides. I read man pages. I sometimes run `systemctl list-unit-files` and say, "hmm what is that??" then go find out what it is. I've been at this for decades and curiosity keeps pushing me to learn new things and keep up with recent developments.
