Migrating a 8 year old server to fresh new hardware. Can’t believe you can basically just rsync one computer to another

Yeah, but raspberry handhelds are chonky at best.

At my last job, every time they added or removed someone’s key card access, the system would reboot and everyone would be locked out for like two minutes.

We also had two floors that were connected by a fire stairwell, so you needed a card to re-enter the next floor.

At least twice my card stopped working in the middle of the word day while I was standing in the stairwell and I assumed that they just fired me and assumed I’d see my own way out.

Survived three layoffs at that company.

He must have been waiting for me to buy a copy.

Yeah I think they needed horsepower to run some sophisticated models in Matlab, and Apple had a killer educational discount.

Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu

I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.

So my job (electrical engineering) has been pretty stagnant recently (just launched a product, no V2 on the horizon yet), so I’ve taken my free time to brush up on my skills.

I asked my friend (an EE at Apple) what are some skills that I should acquire to stay relevant. He suggested three things: FPGAs, machine learning, and cloud computing. So far, I’ve made some inroads on FPGAs.

But I keep hearing about people unironically using chatGPT in professional/productive environments. In your opinion, is it a fun tool for the lazy, or a tool that will be necessary in the future? Will employers in the future be expecting fluency with it?

I mean Steve Jobs named the Lisa after the daughter he disowned. There’s opportunities here.
