NetSarang Computer has been offering a commercial ssh client named Xshell since the mid 2000s. They have a copyright on the name. You may want to consider renaming the project to avoid potential future issues.

Anecdotal data from my Gen-Z daughter, currently a college freshman, is that they want the cover art. Her dorm room walls are decorated with vinyl albums in frames where they cannot be listened to.

Computer Chronicles, Byte, Compute!'s Gazette, 80 Micro and PC Magazine were windows into the larger world of computers as a kid in the 1980s. The Computer Chronicles episodes on computer networks and services sparked an interest in networking which turned into the focus of the 1st half of my professional career. I owe a debt of gratitude to Stewart Cheifet.

Don't forget Computer Shopper!

I never read a copy of Computer Shopper.

Many of us did!

Using Linux gets you much more hardware compatibility especially for the consumer desktop and laptop systems this is targeted towards.

True

Wish I could add ingredients to the list of ingredients on hand, there were more choices of glassware and the type of ice could be selected. The 1st drink I went to add is traditionally served in a hurricane glass and is shaken then poured over crushed ice.


Google does not currently provide official linux aarch64 host versions of the NDK. A feature request ticket has been open for several years requesting one and is currently marked as no plans. Directions can be found for compiling the NDK yourself or there are several community provided builds available.


Maybe you get downvoted because this isn't centralizing all the power of the internet to one organization rather than being downvoted because people don't have an issue with that.


What? Next you are going to tell me they can’t use an abacus or properly impress cuneiform into clay tablets.


You should talk to teachers, lot of kids can't answer test questions because they don't even understand the words in the question... A growing proportion of kids are close to non functional, with multiple years of delay compared to previous generations.


Are they writing the test questions in cursive? If not I’m not sure what this has to do with my comment.


"It's also weird being in IBM, because if your "contract" ends they put you on the bench. Then you basically have to job hunt within IBM, and if you can't find anything within a month or so you are out. It's super weird."

This is standard operating procedure at most consulting/professional services firms.


Yes, the bench sounds great but it is incredibly nerve-wracking and I never liked that aspect of consulting at all. Better to just go to zero pay and be a free agent and if the company finds you another gig, great, but no promises either way.


I retired a couple of years ago at 54 and now spend my days feeding horses, mucking stalls and spreading the resulting manure (a task consulting prepared me for), but for about 24 of my 30 year career prior to retiring I worked for consulting companies and was lucky enough to never sit on the bench.


Also the CIA


Sounds similar to university applied research arms too.

GTRI locally hires a lot of non-students to work in its various labs. Its labs then pitch ideas to private companies and the DoD. Sometimes they're solicited directly if the lab is well-known and has a track record of delivering good research-oriented results. They research and build prototypes around various capabilities: robotics, avionics, even classified stuff.

They're always pitching, because contracts end or fall through, and that's the source of everyone's payroll. The labs can even be competitive with one another, and the individual researchers might spend time split between labs.

Academics as a service.


Can you elaborate? That sounds interesting


John Kiriakou Described the process in a podcast, maybe the JRE.
