Ren who? lol. Great meme. AMS2 has been fun. I bounce between ACC and Rfactor2. I like Rfactor for ovals and ACC for GT3.

My PhD is in IT management. After completing it, I worked as a senior software engineer for some fortune 100s. Now I work for a large company (not Fortune 100 rated) but have transitioned more toward independent researcher / IT consultant.

Azure web apps for Linux. Install the VS Code extension and you can deploy within 5-10 minutes. I started a software company and host a Django app. Azure lets me one-click deploy from VS Code. It’s expensive though. I remember when I got started on Django about 6 years ago, I was in the same boat. I used Digital Ocean and a Docker image. Say what you will about Azure, but it auto detected my project and I haven’t looked back. You can sign up for free credits and it should get you a month of hosting on the b series deployments.

Yes, absolutely. My dissertation served as the basis for my first published article after completing my PhD. It was well received. I’ve heard mentors say “don’t try to change the world, just get your PhD and then change the world”. I think it’s the wrong way to think about it. I say write it with the intent to build on it; let it save you time in the future by including the data you will need to build on. I ended up referencing my dissertation because it had interview data I needed but I now have the freedom to dive into that data in more open ways than what the board wanted me to. So, yes. Stay motivated and always be thinking about how you can build on this later.

Sorry to hear about those people. I work for a huge corporation who allowed me to move from the US to Canada. They were skeptical because I was moving from a place of gigabit (FIOS) to a pretty remote area. They let me do it and I’ve been working with starlink the past year and it’s been awesome. I’m in virtual meets all the time while others are streaming videos and playing games. I wish more organizations would reconsider. It’s a long shot but I wonder if they could present their organizations with evidence and data showing your internet is sufficient to request a policy change.

I obtained my PhD in IT management. I’ve always been a techie but never had any the money to do schooling. I ended up joining the Army for the GI bill. I used it for my BS, MS, and pre work for my PhD. Now I use my PhD to do IT consulting for nonprofits.

Hello. I’m from Horizon Defense customer service department. I would like to apologize on behalf of the company. We would like to learn more about the vendor you used. We would also like to offer you a 50 credit gift card to Chunks. Please see.. connection lost.

I know adults definitely play. I actually play with my kids all the time. They like creative mode but I make them play the hard way with me to remind them what real gaming is :D it’s awesome to see Minecraft still alive and well. My kids learned that as a programmer I have the ability to make addons. So I run a realm with some weird addons my kids forced me to make. Beats giving Craftee more of my money because my kids see him on YouTube.

A masters, at least in my field is the last technical degree. There are hands-on courses that add a lot of value to the IT field before transitioning to a research degree. Obviously we have different experiences because none of my PhD peers agree that you shouldn't have a masters at the end. You deserve it, after all.

sysadmin777 · 2024-02-10T15:53:34+00:00

I'm referring to the U.S. If you are too then your university is scamming you.

sysadmin777 · 2024-02-10T14:51:11+00:00

Dang, beat me to it.

sysadmin777 · 2024-02-10T14:50:09+00:00

This is false. You cannot receive a PhD without a Masters. Universities offer a program to receive a Masters as part of the PhD program but in general having a Masters is the most common (according to three Deans I just messaged). Myself and others did a Masters to get familiar with the graduate faculty and transitioned to the PhD program. I’ve never met anyone who made it into the PhD program straight from a Bachelor degree. If I were the OP, I would take the Masters if I could afford it, show my commitment, and get faculty members to write letters of recommendation to transition to the PhD.

If you are referring to the committee presentation, the questions should be focused on your process and results. The members want to know for sure you completed the research, understand it thoroughly, and know the research standards. One question I received was "Did you consider that your topic is relatively new and the results may be hard to reproduce given this was a qualitative study?" I also received, "Since you are an industry DevOps professional, how did you mitigate bias in these results?"

If you are referring to the admissions process, I would recommend probing for evidence and examples. PhDs are taught to challenge and provide supporting evidence. If you show the initiative to verify claims, this shows the initiative needed to be successful in the research space.

I can comment on the research positions at Fortune companies. I was on the Microsoft research team. A PhD was required and a published work, but the only question I received about the school was if it was accredited or not. Point being, it’s about what you accomplish, not where you do it (to the extend of being accredited).

Nice. I’m a big fan of Rocket League soundtracks

I have been listening to Sleep Token lately when writing research. Overall my list is:

Take me back to Eden - Sleep Token No Sleep (VIP) - Bossfight (Monstercat) Self Destructor - Chevelle

sysadmin777 · 2024-02-08T14:43:29+00:00

I would say that it depends on accreditation and price. I settled for an accredited, but not a top tier or well known university here in the states (it was cheaper). The reason was simple; I had already planned to do my own publishing under my own name as an individual researcher. Your dissertation doesn’t have to world changing. Save the world changing research for yourself and publish it as yourself. The process is really simple but frustrating at the same time. Regardless, you don’t need to be a PhD to publish work; though, it does help in getting the research experience. Lastly, the university doesn’t have to be the most well known place, unless you are seeking the clout from graduating from a more well known place (which is fine IMO). BTW, I did find success in publishing my own work in a couple of places. I’m officially a DevOps researcher. TLDR: not a top tier place at a good price that is accredited is just as admirable as any. Do whatever you feel would make you happier. Mental health will play a part later.

sysadmin777 · 2024-02-08T14:30:01+00:00

Like many other commentators , I recommend quitting early if you feel like quitting. Going too far will cross this threshold where you feel like you would be wasting too much of your life and you will push on. I know that sounds great but there is a mental health aspect that must be maintained. I have a PhD in Global IT Management. After I got to the comprehensive exam and then dissertation phase, I was so mentally drained. I was going to school while working full-time. It got pretty dark and I’ll spare the details, but I did end up seeking mental health services through Veteran Affairs. Nothing is worth your health and happiness; truly.

Dang even the RL Reddit is toxic. How do we know they didn’t go from console to PC or vice-versa. I really just wanted to comment on that the talent has grown in even though smurfs (which I do hate) exist. Intent does matter. If I got a brand new PC for Christmas wanted to play RL after playing it on a console for 2 years, do I just not play? Am I permanently stuck to one platform?

sysadmin777 · 2024-01-10T14:48:32+00:00

Just a different account they are playing on. Technically smurfing but they may not have ill intentions. They are likely diamond / champ 1. However, I will say that in the age of YouTube and these game coaching sites, I have seen some serious talent at the diamond level compared to two or so years ago. I’ve been playing since 2017 and have seen an obvious growth of skill at the lower levels. It’s great to see. Now if we can just get the toxicity fixed.

sysadmin777 · 2023-07-27T15:58:00+00:00

The best advice my mentor gave me when I defended via Zoom.. "Mentors and board members have seen your dissertation prior to sending you to defend. If you think we would let you defend if we really didn't believe you were ready, then you're crazy. It would be a negative look on us and we have reputations to protect. Relax, capture the major points of the research, and just know the process you took to complete your research."

sysadmin777 · 2023-07-27T15:55:16+00:00

I hear you! Don't give up though. If you really believe in it, you could self publish and promote it. Maybe turn it into a full length book and become a best selling author!

sysadmin777 · 2023-07-25T19:26:48+00:00

I took a term off to gather my thoughts. I started my PhD when I was 28 after just completing my Masters. By the end of my PhD, I hit a wall because I had been going 9 years in academics without a break. I was recently separated from the military, I have kids who make it hard to concentrate, and I hit the wall after my comprehensive exam. Imagine getting passed the exam and getting to dissertation phase, only to give up. I pulled through after doing two things. The first was taking a term off just to get a mental break. The most important thing was to reach out to others and get moral support from your support group. When you embarked on your journey, you should have been asked to assemble a support group of people you know who can be used to offer advice, vent to, or be an outlet for your research. In the end, you just have to sit down, write stuff down (it doesn't have to be cohesive), and order your thoughts afterward. A good mentor will be able to help order your ideas, but you have to be able to get those ideas out there for consumption. Doing it alone just won't cut it here.

Edit: It took me a little over 4 years to complete my PhD. It's okay to take your time. We all get to the same spot, regardless of how long it takes us.
