@lnxw48a1 we have a couple of openings on our OpenLogic team and the team right now all works from home. There seems to be a decent chance I would be moving to this team. If they are willing to continue to hire allowing you to live in Kansas City, or whatever, would you be interested?
-
so, um, what are the #Windows registry values in play? https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/ITM/SH19-4570-01/en_US/HTML/dmrefmst58.htm
-
focusing on #Kafka for now
-
and I don't mean install GNU tools, or just use findstr...I mean, how do I get the backlog info. It ain't sysctl
-
How do I do the equivalent on Windows?
sysctl -a | grep -i backlog
-
@lnxw48a1 it's not that flat here. Everyone seems to think it is, but this isn't Kansas. It's true we don't have mountains, but lots of rolling hills. I've got a few extra days off in December. Maybe I'll give it a shot then if my ankle is still not up to running. It's not like I get a prize for it.
-
3 days in and wondering if this 1250k in the month is worth it.
-
Any good resources on Cassandra and Kafka?
-
!minnesota, do you know any one that works in IT at the U?
-
I like Chipotle, but then again, I always get Sofritas

bonkers

Does anyone use mixed pronouns, like he/them/hers?
I appreciate people trying to make the world a better place, but I appreciate a good troll too.

Just leaving this here for no particular reason

hmm, nothing particularly interesting comes up on the first page of GOOG. Maybe I'll just run with it
-
I don't understand how s/he is not the norm for writing...a bit difficult to pronounce, perhaps.

I could always say I am on open source software social media sites and not say which ones in the resume. It's not like I am giving exact URLs either, but if you search for 'doug whitfield gnu social' no quotes, there is plenty of me...
-
I am applying for a open source software community position of sorts at Perforce. Do you think I should mention that I am on GNU Social, etc.? There's very little filter here, though I could always go back and delete some potentially controversial posts, like this one I guess, lol.

We're hiring on my team again!
Nice-to-haves*:
Knowledge of C/C++ and #Java and experience with #PHP/MySQL
Knowledge of Unix & #Linux
Basic networking experience
Experience with Perforce, #Git, or other version control software is desirable
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or similar or relevant work experience
2 or more years’ experience providing technical support directly to enterprise customers
* These are listed as requirements on the site, but they make zero since to me. There is literally no one on the Minneapolis team that knows C/C++. We do have a C/C++ API, so yes, it would be good if you knew that, but most people use our derived APIs (Perl, Python, .NET, Ruby, PHP, and maybe that is it). Java, like C, is a native API.
Also, we do support Windows and Mac, so unclear why knowledge of that is not listed.
Experience in customer support or customer-facing role
Strong analytics and problem-solving skills
Strong debugging skills
Ability to work in a team environment and contribute ideas and improvements
Able to work well under pressure and prioritize accordingly
Responsibilities:
Represent Perforce as the first point of contact for customer’s technical requests.
Review and research customer issues to determine and provide the best resolution.
Develop and maintain technical expertise in assigned areas of product functionality and utilize it effectively to help customers.
Resolve database and performance issues.
Research, document, and escalate cases according to procedure.
Provide customer driven feedback to functional areas in order to influence process/product improvements.
Author technical documents on common issues and solutions in order to build the knowledge base.
Positive attitude - Support engineers are required to be respectful, fair, gracious, and knowledgeable.
Create and set up test environments to reproduce and resolve customer issues.
Recreate customer environments to reproduce issues and experiment with possible solutions.

More specific question this time.
I am going to be on a plane tomorrow (and Sunday). What off-line #java resources should I download before the trip.
My work laptop is #Windows, but I have some #Linux VMs on it, so tools for either one are good, but Windows-native might make for better battery life.
