I've been doing so for probably a good 7-8 years now in various capacities with single disk or raid, but been doing raid usually choosing even laptops with dual drive capabilities for the past 5-6 years. Most ssd's have died within a year, but usually only one. My desktop with Crucial C100's

The 'know it all' developer is the worst kind because once you know it all things are already changing. I usually say knowing where to look it up when I need it is sufficient; if it's something I do every day I know it cold but even then it's wise to see what changes are coming. -- JD Austin

Not hard to imagine really. Being able to pass a test and get a certificate is often enough to get a job. He might have been working fast food or delivering pizza, so not much of a salary and then passed his boot camp test and got an entry level or junior web dev job and now he's making

Re: Laptop

If you install with EFI enabled then you need to run with it enabled. If you install with Legacy Bios then you need to run that way. flipping back and forth will cause issues. The laptop you have, it came with windows pre-configured? and are you trying to preserve that? On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at

NVMe SSD's

Curious if anyone has taken the plunge to play with nvme-based ssd's under linux here? Particularly around raid. Not finding a lot pertaining to them that is positive toward linux on the tubes, and I'm looking to reproduce my usual raid1+luks+lvm atop them, so feedback on doing so would be

Windows 10 and Linux do not share UEFI bios very well yet. so setting yourself up to run via Legacy bios might be the correct option. Unless you are prepared to learn how to use EasyBCD and windows boot management. On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 8:35 AM, Anon Anon wrote: > Go

Insane! But if you read the article carefully, the students may be going for 2-3 months, but they are working 80-100 hrs a week. If you really focused, structured it like a real job, go with 1 week sprints and a focus to learn A, B, and C in sprint/week 1, and D & E in sprint/week 2, 9-12 weeks
