I also see the embedded world getting a bit sloppy at times. Memory is getting cheaper so efficiency isn't a high concern and bloatware starts to creep back in. The IoT fad has the benefit of also requiring very very low power so that's shaking up the complacency again, but in another decade it might not matter.
What I've found is not that I get replaced by 20 somethings, but that I end up with 20 somethings as my boss or director (no twenty something VP yet but I'm sure I'll have one of those before I am put into archive storage).
They make those complicated web sites with too many scripts as a way to prove that their jobs are important. Job security rather than providing what the customer needs.
No, to me my google+ account got merged with a youtube account. Youtube did not force this, Google+ did not force this, *Google* did this. Put the blame on Google and not G+ please.
I'm on Google+ because I like it. It is sthe ONLY google product I use other than search, though I can go to youtube now and then w/o logging in. I am not stupid enough to put my email on gmail, or put my important documents on its cloud or use its online document management. As a standalone social media it does things right. Meanwhile Facebook still has an ongoing real name policy whereas Google+ has removed theirs, but people seem to not notice this.
Facebook did the same thing though, so why is there ten times more hate over a *discontinued* practice at Google than there is at Facebook which apparently still has the real name policy in effect last I checked?
I think there's some bias here with people forming up into teams. People hate Google so they automatically hate Google+'s real name policy. People love Facebook so they'll put up with a real name policy there and any other shenanigans that Facebook adds. Cheer for your team, curse the other team.
This was Google's fault. Do not blame Google+. If you were on Youtube and got shoved onto Google+ then it makes no sense to curse at Google+ while praising Youtube, as the mother ship was the one trying to make them one and the same.
For me, I was on Google+ and liked it, and did not like suddenly having a Youtube account against my will. But did anyone bitch about the new Youtube policy? No, they bitched about Google+ as if it were the only thing wrong with the whole Google family.
So please bitch at Google the mother ship instead. Everytime another Youtuber makes yet another comment about "Google+ forced me to join them" it just makes that community to look even dumber than it already is.
They no longer have a real name policy. But I think Facebook added a real name policy in the meantime. But people looove facebook and haaate google, so it's hard to treat any comments on the matter objectively. Basically people who are herd animals are on facebook not because they love it but because other members of their herd are on facebook, and people who are on google+ are there because they like the communities or to keep track of a small group of friends.
Google+ is working just fine for me. I don't know how it compares to Facebook or other social media because I don't use them or care. But 4chan mentality applied to Google+... This is one of those times when "if it ain't broke don't come within ten miles of it" might apply.
This guy would be a junior programmer anywhere else given his age and amount of experience. I've seen what happens when twenty-somethings who think they know everything get put in charge. That's how we got infected with social media in the first place.
Illegal president? How long does the term of the (criminal) Yanukovych last? At what point in time is it allowed to democratically elect someone else? RT is a mouthpiece of the Putin and the Kremlin, it's is as objective as Fox News is here. It knows that if it is critical of Putin it will be suppressed. Stop listening to the Russian dictator and start using your head.
I would not doubt it though. I know that in the 90s at a class reunion one of my friends mentioned they had PDP computers in Onizuka Air Force base (the blue cube). That's torn down now though, but it's not hard to imagine it happening elsewhere. Why upgrade when it's working just fine and it'll cost hundreds of millions of dollars to get a replacement? It's not like you can just go to Newegg and order some software to run the radar arrays.
I'd rather we not care about faces or looks at all in politicians. And not just because it would shorten Trump's speeches by half an hour. The reason is if we continue to care about looks and style and mannerisms then politicians will put up puppets for us to vote for while they control things from behind the scenes. A popularity contest like that of high school rather than a debate on ideas and plans. Certainly we've already gone down this road a bit. Possibly a reason for JFK winning out over Nixon, Obama over McCain, etc.
You can be white of pure European ancestry and be Cuban, Mexican, Columbian, etc. It's actually pretty common from some hispanic countries. That's why "hispanic" is not an ethnicity more than it is a social grouping.
I feel this way about online paychecks too. I never manage to dutifully go and check them out and save the entries (which aren't in nice printable form or even downloadable pdfs.
Paper works fine. Shows up in the mail, then I pile it with the others for my records. For online it's a hassle. Search down an obscure password and url, navigate through an unfamiliar site, etc.

The point of human existence before computers was the develop technology to the state able to create computers.

Of course. It was the fashion in my day.
They make those complicated web sites with too many scripts as a way to prove that their jobs are important. Job security rather than providing what the customer needs.
And working on a platform where efficiency or performance don't really matter much.

Just more evidence that Mozilla knows nothing about its users and instead is creating a browser by Mozilla devs intended for Mozilla devs.
No they don't. However Facebook has that stupid rule.
The only social media I have is Google+. Why should I try anything else? Google+ works and does what I want. No poking or liking.

Even if it is more expensive, so what? Coal is dirty and polluting. Is there no value to having a nice place to live?

It's possible there were some tubes in the power supply of older VAXen.
Reminds me of the IT guys who told me my macbook was due to be upgraded to Windows 7.

Until you drop it in the toilet and all that data is gone.
