Not saying the withdrawal was a complete shit show, but it’s not our job to fix nations. We shouldn’t be telling anyone how to live. They want to oppress themselves that’s on them, because at the end of the day, you can’t kill citizens of a nation and expect them to want to keep you in place.

I know what compsci is, but it’s no longer what it was in the past. It’s now the catch all for most IT jobs. Dev included. And a ton of software is developed for windows because windows is the most dominant os in the world. This isn’t some dig at Linux or macos, it’s just the facts.

What? No. We shouldn’t have been there in the first place. We don’t need to return. We’re not the worlds police.

Comp sci is not just dev work, it’s literally the catch all for all things that deal with, well computers/tech.
Takes 2 seconds to google what comp sci majors fall into. It’s a broad range of fields.
These days it might as well be a business degree.

Yes because the world is run by devs…
Companies run windows for 90% of their shit. The rest is linux/macos.
No where in this entire thread was anyone talking about dev work only.

I don’t know much about IT (I’m CS), but Ad is very specific to Windows, no? Shouldn’t you instead be asking them about higher-level concepts like access controls, networking principles (http vs tcp vs ip, routing, dns, etc), and basics of cybersecurity (attack surface, network segmentation, etc)? It sounds like you’re looking for practical knowledge about specific solutions rather than familiarity with concepts.
CS still operates heavily in the windows environment. The majority of the world and businesses operate in windows. You should know the basics. Asking high level concepts isn’t needed if they’re unable to answer basic foundational questions which most companies operate in
Learning our stack when you’re comfortable with programming in general isn’t all that difficult, learning our stack when you struggle with basic concepts will be a challenge though.
And you just summarized what I’ve been saying.
Also CS is my field as well, and knowing how the basics work inside of a windows environment, is a basic concept.
I don’t know why so many are down voting this idea.
If you put out a job listing for say splunk, and you show up and don’t even know the basics of how DBs work… that’s what I’m referring to.

At least they apologized, I did that really early into my career, had a friend of mine set me up with what he thought was a good fit, only for me to walk into a senior level position and after 2 questions realize I’m not a good fit at all, tell them that I apologize for wasting their time and that I’m not qualified for what they’re looking for.
- Comment on US | Trump to impose $100,000 fee per year for H-1B visas, in likely blow to tech 1 day ago:
So torn on this, H-1Bs where designed to fill in roles that were difficult to fill, but companies use them as a way to keep from paying proper wages. They’ve heavily abused the system, but at the same time the turnip will probably use this as a way to get tech firms to do what he wants, in a promise to wave the fee.

Where are you getting hostility from? I made a comment that suggests that college is not preparing these young adults for their selected careers and is basically dumping them onto the businesses to train. I have also pointed out that a lot of college grads don’t start at lower positions, they go for senior level stuff and then write articles like this one suggesting that the 6 figure jobs are gone. They’re still plenty of them and they’re still around but they’re no longer getting handed out to college grads with 0 experience, like back in the early 00s. I also suggested that in this field, you can learn a foundation on your own, which is to be expected. A mechanical engineer should know a good bit of math and shouldn’t have the expectation that the company teach them math. That’s a foundation they should already have. In the IT world, the foundations of understanding domains, OS’s, how firewalls work, etc. Is a foundation you should know already.
No where did I say that I expect new employees to know everything. I said I expect them to at least have a foundation of what’s needed for the job.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 days ago:
I don’t expect you to know everything, but while you’re in college you can still learn AD, spin up a server, make a domain. See the basics of a web server, see how HFWs work…the foundation of IT. Companies shouldn’t be paying you and paying to train you for learning things that, if you’re interested in this career path, you should have learned on your own.

The number of times I’ve had to just say “thank you for your time” and cut a interview shoot is way to much. Shit like this is way way to common.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 days ago:
%100 agreed on that. The amount of on the job training I’ve got to put into fresh college grads is insane.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 days ago:
It’s a bit more nuanced than that. A lot of college grads I’ve interviewed come out expecting to be senior level when they don’t even have a basic foundation of IT. Don’t expect to get paid 6 figures right out of college when you have 0 experience and can’t even provide basic answers to questions that help desk people know. Colleges have lied to them that we(the IT industry) needs them and that they’re special. Show me you have the foundation before telling me how the industry works.

That’s interesting on the transmission sharing. And yea aftermarket works with anyone willing to take a deal, it’s business. I am surprised though that gm/ford did work together though.
- Comment on Toyota Is Recycling Old EV Batteries to Help Power Mazda's Production Line 3 weeks ago:
Manufacturers work with each other a LOT. A lot of the japanese makers also own stakes in each others companies or have partnerships setup. It’s the exact opposite with USDM stuff, they just don’t share or collaborate on anything big it seems.

Yea that might be a bit of a pain. I just run a 2022 server on my old TR setup. I don’t have time usually to mess around with more than that currently. I just want shit to work when I get time to game.

I host all of our groups stuff on my dedicated server, but I looked over the info last night and it spells it out really easily for headless. SIT didn’t do anything in the way of helping so this should be pretty straightforward.

Damn, is Fika easier than SIT to get running? SIT was a pain in the ass to get going.
- Comment on After stretching the definition of 'beta' for 8 years, Escape From Tarkov is finally hitting 1.0 4 weeks ago:
And SIT is also a thing. Haven’t run it in a while, but it was fun with friends playing alone on your own server.

- i don’t scour your post history for sources, i look at the stuff you send me. Pro tip, the username specifies individual people on this platform
The multiple users I’m replying to can get muddy, my bad.
- 45% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents is not 50+
You are correct, I think it was from the right leaning side of men that own firearms. The reality is the left is heavily outgunned…
- Dems and dem leaning people are not “the left”. fun fact, dems aren’t even center left. they’re center right.
They are the largest group, and like it or not, compared to what the right wing has turned into are the left.
regardless, none of the above are shooting anyone but fellow civilians.
That wasn’t the point of my posts.

You just contradicted your first paragraph with your second…they don’t go there because those groups are armed.

I literally posted this already.

About 20% of the left is armed. Compared to 50+% of the right.

Which you clearly missed half of what I’ve pointed out. The left isnt armed and the right who is, are the ones mostly causing this shit. The fuck are you on about. So pointless arguing with some of you euro kids, you have no clue what’s going on over here.

You wrote no civil war is breaking out because you were comparing your disarmed population to the USA. Don’t back petal now.

Less than 200k total in those groups… including those post coup, which also includes loyalist to the Junta.
Myanmars population is 50+ million.
A single state New Jersey which has the lowest per capita ownership has more firearms in civ hands than those groups combined.
ammo.com/articles/gun-ownership-by-state
That is not an armed populous.

Myanmar was heavily restricted on access to firearms. It’s why the 3d printed guns were used a ton early on before the free people could get access to firearms. The junta has relaxed this for supporters of the regime, but saying that they were armed is a bit of a stretch.
- Comment on ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she walked out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner. 1 month ago:
I think (and this person can correct me if I’m wrong, it’s really how I understood it) the idea was: despite all the 2A theory of “we need guns to defend from tyrannical government, and yes, if it were to happen I’d take up arms” the US is (not so slowly anymore) sliding toward the tyrannical government and we saw no usage of 2A to fight against it.
Again, 20% of the left is armed or lives with someone who is armed… nearly %60 is the right…the right is driving this fascist bullshit. No wonder it’s not being used.
Y>our point could be right: it’s because people with the gun generally agree with the government, so no reason to use 2A.
Exactly.
Next question is: even if all leftist were armed, would we start to see ICE agent being shot? No idea.
If ICE starts shooting people, you better bet there would be return fire.
Oh and, on another note, to compare the US and Myanmar is NOT a good comparison from any point of view.
I didn’t compare it to the USA at all. I stated that they’re population was not armed and they still have a civil war happening. Which is counter point to the guy stating that civil wars don’t happen if civs aren’t armed like in his country. Which is bullshit.

is this a strawman or just intentionally obtuse?
You acted like civil wars happen because the population is armed…so no it wasn’t a strawman it was to point out that you’re ignorantly wrong.
aaahh there we go, conspiratorial anti “the media” shit that i usually expect from the good ol 2A crowd.
Says the guy who lives in a different country and assumes how the usa is going to be in a civil war because we’re armed…keep your nose in your own countries business. What we do here doesn’t effect you.
- Comment on ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she walked out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner. 1 month ago:
Notice how no civil war is breaking out.
The fuck are you on about? Civil wars happen regardless of the population being armed or not. See Myanmar.
Notice how nobody wants to start a shootout with armed forces?
Who is nobody? Cause in the states it’s getting that way soon.
Notice how the only real world impact of civvies arming themselves is more civvies die?
That’s not how that works at all.
I’m from a country with sensible gun laws and no gestapo snatching people off the streets.
Uhh ok? So why the fuck do you give a shit about what happens here in the states? You don’t know the dynamics here at all, and just see what you are fed by your local news.
yet we still take to the streets in protest of a far right party blasting past constitutional lines
Cool, we’re trying to do that as well…
they’re currently under investigation and potentially to be banned in the future.
Ok let me know how that goes… assuming you actually post where you’re from
All without posturing as armed defenders of democracy watching it’s downfall from the sidelines.
Again…the left isn’t armed like the right is. The right wing wants the crap that’s happening here. You’re not making any sense at all.
