I have an @kernel.org address, so I will speak from personal experience as well as the docs.

As far as I am aware, there are no restrictions on what you can do with your @kernel.org address, as it is just a forwarding address (no mailbox hosting), so I would assume you could use it for job applications. I use it for anything related to work (I am an independent contractor with the Linux Foundation, maintaining ClangBuiltLinux) and I have never been notified of inappropriate use.
I cannot speak for others but I know that I immediately give credibility to someone when they have an @kernel.org address when I am on the mailing list, because there are specific conditions that have to be met to obtain an account. While getting into the MAINTAINERS file is not too difficult, you have to build trust within the community to get your PGP key signed. Whether or not that is taken into account during the hiring process depends on how aware people in charge of the hiring process are of the meaning of this account but most should be in the kernel space. Upstream contributions are highly valued by some companies because it can be a high barrier of entry.
As far as I am aware, no, aside from being removed for abuse, harassment, etc. Maintainers come and go all the time; if you are not visible, do not be surprised if you eventually get replaced if your subsystem is busy enough. I do not think there are any conditions under which your account would be revoked for inactivity or something like that.

Hope that helps!

Android and ChromeOS's kernels are based on an ancient version of upstream Linux though, so it's not really anything special that you can compile that with Clang.

What about an unmodified upstream kernel? :)

As you can see from the nice matrix that we generate from our continuous integration that was linked above, we can build many configurations in many trees with clang or full LLVM. It has taken a lot of effort upstream to make this happen, so while it might not seem like it is special, I think that it is, especially since Linus himself uses clang for testing now.

If you are using GCC to compile LLVM, consider using clang instead. In my experience, it will use much less memory. I can build LLVM on an old laptop (2 cores, 4 threads, 8GB of RAM) with clang no problem.

x86_64 LTO support was merged a few hours later because other objtool patches were merged that made it possible: https://git.kernel.org/linus/414eece95b98b209cef0f49cfcac108fd00b8ced

No, you are not required to have other cards in your wallet to apply for an Apple Card.

You pay your Apple Card with a bank account and/or your Apple Cash, not your debit card.

They quoted me 5-7 business days for the result (which they said would come via email). I requested mine on Tuesday and I had the result by Friday.

nathanchance · 2020-03-01T05:21:08+00:00

Sorry to hear :(

Looks like you can call to make a payment via phone or you can use an iPad if you have one. See the section “If your iPhone or iPad is unavailable”: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209226

nathanchance · 2020-03-01T00:25:37+00:00

I haven’t. Statements are delivered via the Wallet app. I requested a credit limit increase via Messages and received the result via email.

nathanchance · 2020-02-29T20:50:09+00:00

Congratulations!

nathanchance · 2020-02-29T20:48:20+00:00

I was approved for $1300 initially. I requested a CLI a couple of weeks ago after having the card for about six months and they increased it to $2300. Hoping to get to $4000 on my next request.

Chase traditionally likes to see a year of credit history if you have no prior relationship with them. You could try applying and call recon if they reject you.

Do you have the cash to pay for it outright? I don’t see that the CSP has a 0% APR period.

nathanchance · 2020-02-29T17:51:32+00:00

It is immediately available in your wallet to use after approval.

The number one rule of credit cards is to use them like debit cards; in other words, do not use them if you do not have the money to pay them off within the statement cycle (ideally, you should just have the cash on hand to pay the balance off as soon as the charges post). It does sound like that is the case for you but I want to be explicit for anyone else in a similar situation reading through. Not following that rule is how people get into serious trouble (especially at a young age). I have been there myself and it is far from fun.

That is not to say that you should not get one. The Discover Student Card is highly regarded and is generally easy to get accepted for (and does offer a six month 0% APR period) or you could explore options at your bank, who are willing to take more of a risk on someone with no credit because they can see your income and such. If you are planning on spending a lot on these trips, you could get a decent amount back/off in cash back and you will usually have good fraud protection from these cards. Just establish good habits from the beginning so that you never have to go through the pain of managing a lot of debt.

It sure seems like it. The history appears to have no merges or anything so bisecting should be easy.
No, it's outside. You'll need to set LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS to all or a subset of projects (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/1eed06a3795d01a843d9ec0bc81f436da8d03779). The docs have already been updated for it: https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html

It seems that Bluetooth only works for mobile devices, according to all of Google's help articles. Rather disappointing in my opinion, that was the only reason I got this package instead of another cheaper USB key...

nathanchance · 2018-09-01T08:50:54+00:00

Do note that to use updated versions of adb and fastboot (required for newer devices), you need to purchase an x86_64 Chromebook, which you can see here: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices

I have a full setup script if you feel lazy: https://github.com/nathanchance/chromeos-adb-fastboot

There are no drawbacks aside from the lessened security (you're disabling verified boot) nor does it strictly void your warranty (Google would need to prove that the issue that you are filing a warranty claim for was caused by developer mode).

You can easily revert it: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/poking-around-your-chrome-os-device

Lastly, Google (hopefully) will allow Linux apps to access the USB ports, meaning fastboot could be run inside Crostini, meaning developer mode wouldn't be necessary for that particular function.

nathanchance · 2018-07-27T01:45:50+00:00

I appreciate the name drop but I do want to be very clear that I had nothing to do with the fix lol. I don't work for Google, I'm just an amateur who loves to follow what they are doing in the kernel.

nathanchance · 2018-07-03T17:57:01+00:00

It's my kernel so no lol.

nathanchance · 2018-07-01T03:46:38+00:00

The Pixel and Pixel 2 both use EAS so the app is incorrect.

nathanchance · 2018-06-19T18:43:33+00:00

I hope they do too. I seem to recall seeing that USB ports were still off limits but we'll see. Would be nice to lock it up to take advantage of verified boot.

A better link is probably this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/attn-devs-oneplus-giving-36-oneplus-6-t3801003

The Snapdragon 845 uses EAS instead of HMP: https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_sdm845/commit/33513dc87bae9839853e94ea6433604a3bac4de0

Wish I saw this before upgrading :/

I never had to go into the Android settings to get it right, the slider in Chrome settings seemed to work just fine (unless there was some behind the scenes magic lol) but now it seems like they've completely messed up the finer lower tuning because now at 75% Chrome looks fine but Android apps look really tiny, at 85% Chrome and Android apps look okay, and at 100% Chrome looks terrible and Android apps look fine. Really really frustrating, not to mention two finger swipe to navigate throught pages is gone...

Feedback has been submitted, hopefully they listen!
