Yeah. The non-existent labor unions will have the same resources as a billion-dollar corporation. So, Citizens United for the win! Either you are a paid shill or a seriously deluded person.
>>>Trump is a left-of-center conservative who until recently was actually a Democrat. He's not Hitler.

That is a fallacy. iOS users are very highly likely to actually "pay" for an app since they already proved that they were suckers by buying an overpriced phone anyway:)
Since you present a refreshing change by actually listening to Slashdot users, please make some effort to stop content-free articles like this. Thank you!
Submitter here. Appreciate your insightful post but as a second generation Indian American myself, I can tell you that there are very high profile jobs that are currently outsourced to India. Recently, when I was in India for a vacation, I came across numerous job postings for HFT and quantitative trading posted by some of the big name US banks in a "print" newspaper. Of course, prospects for such jobs would command a relatively higher salary in India but that salary would be a pittance compared to anything that the US employers will have to incur if they source those employees locally.
Submitter here. This is precisely the kind of self-unaware elitism that I am talking about. If someone thinks that they are too precious a snowflake to be outsourced, all they need to look up is the number of openings for HFT and quantitative trading jobs that are now opening up in India.
Target a STEM career that will involve security clearance or other barriers to entry for offshoring. Of course, I know it is heresy in slashdot to say this where a good chunk of population thinks that "they are too precious to be offshored" just because they are still employed. But offshoring of extremely high-end jobs like Quants and high frequency trading should give you a pause to acknowledge that STEM is no longer a viable career for long-term growth.
Yeah. Functional languages are so much better.. like the elegance of breaking out of a for loop... (oops... not possible... resort to clumsy workarounds). Or handling exceptions....
If you want to get things done, I don't think you will give a hoot about shelling a few bucks for proprietary software. I recently achieved task list Nirvana with 2DoApp (http://www.2doapp.com/) with Toodledo Synchronization. You can use your keyboard legerdemain for all the task gymnastics in the Toodledo online app and you can sync the tasks with your smartphone for availability. Best of both worlds!
Sir,
I am not going to repeat the famous Slashdot opinion that you must follow your passions or any such crap. The only thing I can say to you is
Give up!Get a business degree no matter how much ever you loathe doing it!
There are an army of programmers/engineers in the third world willing to replace you with just a tenth of your salary. Do you *really* want to be in a profession where your job is constantly threatened by these people?
How great would it have been if the open source community had produced a decent operating system with working software and a usable development environment during this 8 years?
Still the audio is so 1990 in Linux and still software cannot be packaged to run reliably on all Linux distributions.
Oh, what a pitiful outcome of the open source elitism and in-fighting!
Comparison to WPF or other non stone-age tools?

Qt Becomes LGPL

Can somebody tell me how this can compete with free Visual C# express editions that allow developers to develop great desktop applications in C# and WPF (XAML)? Also why would one be so masochistic as to torture themselves with C++/QT and cross-platformity when they can go with.NET 3.0 and do a much better job faster and with better tool support? If cross-platformity was such a big deal, Swing should have shot to prominence 5 years ago.
1) Unified API for interacting with the umpteen number of desktop environments like GNOME, KDE, Englightenment, ad nauseam.
2) Decent voice chat clients (no please do not tell me Skype Beta works in your *picked for linux* hardware)
3) Unified package management system.
4) Decent IDE for Python that does not suck balls (Anjuta, Pydev do not cut it).
5) Google Chrome
6) Default system fonts that do not make you puke.
I am feeling bad because of the hardship that MSFT has to go through just because *Microsoft* did this. Had this been any other corporation (Apple for instance), there will be no fuss and fanboys will defend Apple left and right). I still love MSFT products (I see you, VS 2008) but MSFT employees are still human, right?
Slashdot Mirror
Strongly recommend these products! Toodledo - As a to-do list Dynalist - Deep-dive hierarchical planning
American exceptionalism means exceptional regression too....Just wait for 5 more years...
"Educated people"? - Have you seen the Trumptards running amok in Slashdot lately?

1) Choose your password in your native tongue 2) Transliterate that to English 3) Sprinkle in letters and characters 4) Done!

I am addicted to heroines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroine) too! Which one?
But I do acknowledge your point about the local markets.

I read the summary as "...after Apple's Tim cock comes out". May be that tells something about me...

I think it is a bug in Mozilla Firefox. Try copying the fish's name: "northern snakehead" from the NPR article in Firefox and pasting it
Why not just say sperm and get it over with!

Can I copy/paste successfully/reliably without trying to use some kludgy third party libraries?
