I've written software for everything from network equipment to Apache helicopters. Although I mostly program in C++ now, it was actually my seventh language I used professionally, so I like to think I can still think outside the C++ box.

comment How large should I make root, home, and swap partitions?
A separate /home is useful if you dual boot between two Linux distributions, such as if you do development or test for a distro. It also makes it easier to do a clean install without wiping out your /home and having to restore from backup. Since the newer you are, the more likely you are to mess something up and not know how to fix it without a clean install, I generally recommend a separate partition to newbies, then to combine it later when you are more comfortable.

comment Is there a microcontroller kit that ships with development tools for Ubuntu?
They are all USB, to my knowledge. Some of the smaller or older ones require a separate USB to serial adapter called an FTDI board. I would recommend starting with the Arduino Uno, which has everything right there on the one board.

comment How do we get this magic performance-boosting 200 line patch?
Someone, somewhere has to have this patch already applied in a public git branch. Too big of news to not, but my google-fu is failing me.

comment Is it possible to do a RegEx Find in Cream (VIM's derivative) via the dialogs?
If it's that annoying figuring out how to use it "the easy way," it may end up easier in the long term just to switch to straight vim :-)

comment Configure application priority to access the network
Wow, that's an excellent resource. I thinking setting NOPRIOPORTSRC to his bittorrent port would do exactly what he needs.

comment Why is dhclient saying: “SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied”?
Your strace was interrupted right before getting to the good part. Let it run a while longer before hitting ctrl-c, or maybe add the -1 option and wait for it to exit on its own.
