You're correct that they're used a decent bit in the defense industry. I can't talk too much about it for obvious reasons, but it's an area where I would expect an uptick in their usage within the next decade in the…
Another anecdote from someone who is also in the music production scene - 32GB tended to be the "sweet spot" in my personal case for the longest time, but I'm finding myself hitting the limits more and more as I…
While not exactly being what you're referring to (I believe you're solely referring to something akin to enterprise-esque application development), there are many jobs out there for those of us who build entire distros…
When I injured my back (years ago), I had to go to physical therapy and use specific machines that isolated the muscles in order to help regenerate muscle in the area. The physical therapy office was connected to a…
Depending on how you define "fix," the common way (if the machine has already been rebooted and you're locked out of the session) is to boot via a live distro, mount the filesystem, and change permissions to get a…
Not the original poster, but I have been using Spotify for about 3 or so years fairly heavily (free version, not premium), and it still fails to update Discovery Weekly a good 90%+ of the time. The only time I get it to…
I believe this issue is only for certain NAS devices, or maybe only certain versions of the drives. For reference, my Synology DS2015xs didn't require any modifications to the four 10TB WD EasyStore drives I shucked…
Sometimes, it just doesn't make sense. For example, I write and maintain the Linux kernel modules for one of the largest, most popular, and most powerful land vehicles in the world. It wouldn't make sense for us to…
This comment sounds somewhat strange to me. If you don't mind me asking, where are/were you living in Florida where this is the case? I have lived in South Florida for 25 years, residing in areas around Martin County,…
I have experience in this. I translated exclusive Japanese-only content for a game for the PSP from Japanese into English (fan translation, not professional). At the time, I didn't really know what I was getting myself…
I am one of the OS developers for a military vehicle that utilizes vxWorks and Linux. It's honestly no different than other OS work out there. Documentation and help outside of WindRiver's official docs are more scarce,…
One important part about learning how the Linux kernel works is understanding the details of the system's interface the kernel provides. In my opinion, there is no better book out there than the "Linux Programming…
From ShB onwards, you can now use the Trust system to solo dungeons and MSQ events. I'd be willing to bet they will port this to older dungeons once New Game+ comes out, although I am not sure if they'll ever do this…
I can only speak regarding my current manager since my interactions with my previous managers were few and far between, but here are a few things I have noticed: * If there are any issues at all, he is always available…
We use it here exclusively at my current place of employment in the OS and BSP team. We create pre-built, bootable ramdisk images inside a QEMU instance which are hashed and saved for fast provisioning, as well as…
I find myself needing more force to hit the keys, but I can still type 120+ WPM without much of an issue. I regularly go back and forth between mechanical keyboards with MX Reds on my Windows machines and the MBP…
Not sure if this is "recent", but I moved to the midwest during the end of 2015/beginning of 2016 to be with my, now, wife. In the Bay Area, I was getting paid relatively poorly compared to other peers and lived in an…
My first introduction to an open office layout was when I was 26 working in the Bay Area. For me, it was awful. I was surrounded by people who weren't working on anything I was working on and had no connection to what I…
Forums seem to have fallen out of style in favor of groups on FB. That's really the only reason why I use it. I follow certain niche groups and use their classifieds section heavily. Discord hasn't picked up for stuff I…

I have a degree in IT. My first job was through a personal connection after literally over 100 resumes I sent out (I had a huge spreadsheet of job positions and offers. Offers was almost always "REJECTED"). It was a bit…
Be careful. Many of them don't actually work with the latest iOS for one reason or another. I just ran into this issue myself after grabbing some cheap dongles off of Amazon, and I got an error stating that the "device…
Very much this. My wife is going through this very thing right now. It's been a few years, and her symptoms have improved dramatically. She went from being bed ridden if allergies hit her hard to high pollen warnings…
If you do any bash/sh programming, I highly recommend shellcheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck
I believe they're referring to the fact that vim + the OS itself (generally some flavor of *nix) can do whatever an IDE can do. From a terminal, one can call vim, gdb, valgrind, navigate file trees, utilize grep for…
