No, I did not even read the article. What are you, a newb around here?!

Nope, you're my slashdot elder :-( Why are you rating at me for not reading TFA??? All due reverence to you.

Comment SpiceJet is terrible (Score 1) 8

by Un-Thesis (#65554958) Attached to: India's One-Airline State

I lived in India for several years, and SpiceJet is the worst airline in the world.

I took them for two short-haul flights in India and never again! SpiceJet makes Spirit Airlines look like Emirates Air in comparison!

I only flew two times on SpiceJet, but both flights were delayed more than 30 minutes.

They have a 2.4/10 rating.

TSMC Arizona started making a fabricator for state-of-the-art 2 nm chips yesterday, 1 May 2025, when AMD gave it substantial money to do so. Estimated to be complete in 2026.

Comment Re:Work ethic issues. (Score 2) 87

I had all 7 managers and 9 architects sign a written petition at IBM Cloud Classic to not lay me off in September 2024 until December 2024, after the major guzzle migration project I was the architect and lead of was deployed, as they felt the project would quickly fail and they'd lose major billion-dollar contracts due to the guzzle vulnerabilities.

CEO Arvind rejected the plea. I was laid off for being more than 50 miles from an IBM office. I had started during COVID-19 and had a written and approved 100% telecommute permission enacted in 2022.

The guzzle project failed. In January, a major Big 5 bank pulled their servers off citing guzzle v4 security concerns. Then the mass layoffs started in March and my then-team of 3 shrunk to a team of 2 and more projects are at risk. From 6 devs in 2023 to 2 devs in 2025...

Comment Re: Three days in the office (Score 1) 87

Since 2022, I have been living primarily in the Middle East (Egypt and Dubai) and my workday for American corps starts at 7 PM and ends at 1-2 AM.

It is absolutely fantastic!

Every weekend is a three day weekend (end work around midnight Friday night, start work Monday at 7 PM).
Every day I have tons of time to do whatever I want.

by Un-Thesis (#65299899) Attached to: Fedora Targets 99% Package Reproducibility by October
Arch Linux has had 100% reproducibility since at least 2010. I'm not joking. Every makepkg run sha256 and sha512 sums every single file. It's part of makepkg's core duty to extract the files in an in-memory, containerized file system and ensure everything behaves as it should, both at package creation time and installation time. If one little thing is off or the file already exists on the system, everything, the entire upgrade run (and all previously-installed packages) are unrolled before anything is permanently written to the file system.

But Arch is probably superior to Fedora in literally every technical way. Much better architects and engineers.
