And has broken those systems in the past. But diversity in implementations across Linux systems likely means it doesn't break all systems simultaneously.
Okay, TIL: it passes faster due to a shallower gravity well, rather than my expectation that it would pass slower due to its orbital velocity around the earth.
For astronauts in LEO, time passes slower because of the latter.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Did they run you through some soldering training kits or something, or were you just thrown at the problem to "learn by doing"?
Also, how was the pay relative to what you could have gotten had you focused on the IT background instead?
I'm contemplating trying to hire for an automotive technician skillset -- someone that has a background doing things like alarms and custom radio installs, because there is such a nice skillset overlap. Hiring from IT might work, but I don't think I can meet pay and progression expectations. But the IT guys probably appreciate the science aspect more, on average.
Linux on all their electric cars, and they're watching porn while driving ;)
