| schestowitz[TR2] | " Plan where you would like to get to for your next job, and then work out a strategy to help get you there. Networking with others cannot be underestimated. And being flexible. Having 2 or more versions of your resume to send out is helpful particularly if you are multi-talented and can fit in different job roles. And being relentless like a hungry shark will eventually pay off. " | Dec 30 12:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | " Say CachyOS and Garuda Linux do have their own advantages different from EndeavourOS. See for instance https://www.phoronix.com/news/CachyOS-2024-Highlights | Dec 30 17:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I've tried most if not all of the Arch made easy distros and they're mostly not great. EOS is the best of the lot for me. Not much divergence from pure Arch, little bloat, and the only things from their repo are useful apps and artwork (too purple, but whatever). If I need to quickly expunge Windows from a new computer, EOS is first in line. | Dec 30 17:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I'm old enough to remember when Archbang was about it in terms of easier Arch. Now there are several, few of real value, to me at least. Manjaro, with its held updates sprung on users once or twice a month, is probably the worst. | Dec 30 17:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | CachyOs is decent, though it is the only Arch descendant that's ever locked up hard on my gear (core i5, Intel graphics, other components chosen specifically for Linux compatibility). Garuda is a gaudy mess to my eyes, seemingly aimed at gamers and tweens. I for one will be happy when this whole dark theming frenzy dies. | Dec 30 17:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I've recently tested CachyOS 241221 on several workstations with top lined Ryzen CPUs, NVME SSDs and at least 16 GB of RAM. The distribution includes the BORE task scheduler by default, optimized to reduce desktop latency and increase the priority of interactive processes. The kernel and packages are built with LTO (Link-Time Optimization) optimizations enabled and instructions available in processors based on the x86-64-v3, x86-64 | Dec 30 17:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | -v4 and Zen4 microarchitectures used. When building base packages, PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) or BOLT (Binary Optimization and Layout Tool) optimizations are additionally enabled. | Dec 30 17:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | BORE (Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer) is enhanced versions of CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) and EEVDF (Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First) Linux schedulers. Developed with the aim of maintaining these schedulers' high performance while delivering resilient responsiveness to user input under as versatile load scenario as possible. | Dec 30 17:53 |

They were padding the numbers for re-election purposes. Look for GDP of 3% to be revised down in Feb 2025. The stock market and big business will be spooked.

H1V is all ready limited to 165,000 slots a year 9pretty much a fa-t in the wind). All the multinational USA companies do this. Payroll and HR, moved to Latin America.
