At my previous job, all developers were given desktops running windows server. It was horrible but I spent 95% of my time in a Linux vm so I got by while I was there.

Digital Restrictions Management.

Back on the old days, we used windows wifi drivers on Linux via ndiswrappers.

At one job, my manager had a spreadsheet that he was tapping away at during my review. He had the audacity to tell me that he had to downgrade some things so that he wouldn’t have to go to a committee to defend at the individual or group level.

I transferred to a different product.

He said Home Assistant not Google home.

I just finished my 42nd Fedora upgrade. I’m not counting multiple machines, just the number of releases where I’ve done an upgrade.

Who did you go to?

Extract a tarball with verbose output from the specified file.

And learn how to use the ‘z’ option

Explain?

For some reason, COBOL has had OOP features since 2002.

sysyemctl disable --now sawtrapd to do both in one command.

C# is a great language but I’ll always choose Java because the ecosystem around it is so vast. Often times some client library you need has a c# port maintained by one guy and he hasn’t updated in years.

There are 52 weeks in a year not 48. 500 x 52 = 26000.

I used to use an app called moneydance several years ago. It was pretty much the only thing that ran on Linux but it was decent.

I’d bet that the government is probably the largest user of SQL. Unless there are really old systems that predate SQL. I’d imagine they have shitloads of COBOL for example.

He seems to be one of those people that think nosql should be used everywhere.

This sounds just like a former manager that thought nosql was the end all and that SQL had no place.

If course they developed their app that required frequent data migrations because they were in fact very dependent on all the records matching the latest schema.

I just look for a command named ${src}2${dest} like pdf2html

Usually after lots of arguing and crying. But I wouldn’t have had wifi on my first laptop without it.
