  1. The commentary has a major flaw on Commentary On How To Make Novice Programmers More Professional (slashdot.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It does not comment the obvious, that industry love the young because they are cheaper, and have yet not learned to say no to crap.

    I think you may be into something. "There are no jobs" because millennials are too entitled and precious snow flakes to get lousy jobs like you to gain experience.

    Because they would have more customers buying the in between and that cannot be.
    They are content in having a few domestic users buying their crap, the suckers buying the top-of-line and the majority of customers like you and me not giving a shit about it.
    Otherwise, the only logical explanation is that Tim Cook is bribing them.
    Seriously, joking aside, they do not want the domestic market to canibalize the enterprise offering, just as simple.

    Whilst I agree with you in the degree part, and recruiters doing the wrong questions, proof of formal training and especially experience is not so underrated.
    Money is also a problem. As in the OP, they recruit unexperienced people because they do not want to pay a fair ongoing market rate.
    People are also there a couple of years in that sweat shops and then move on to greener pastures.
    Writing code is not really that hard, writing good code is hard. It has to be simple logic hardwired to people with good foundations and a mild/good background in IT. It used to be easier to find people that understand how computer worked, with the new wave of natives using blackboxes of ipads/androids/iphones, well forget about it.
    As a former programmer, whilst I learnt a good chunk of it initially, and also some at university, I can affirm it was most beneficial to me having a 40 something old mentor once I started working in the field. He recognised my weaknesses and did his best to round me up in some fields IT and non-IT, including English.

    There is not much skill in doing a blowjob unfortunately, compared to other things. We are not talking here exactly at working at Burger King, I am afraid.
    Maybe you work there for posting that.

    If you meant more difficult how to understand computers I do agree with you. If you meant more easier understand assembly....bah maybe easier for us, old timers that grew up with it. I even wrote one of the first open-source computer emulators for Windows, with the virtual Z80 CPU core all written by myself as my thesis.

  15. Re:In a nutshell on Filmmakers Take Dutch State To Court Over Lost Piracy Revenue (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    The point why the business if failing is even more interesting to talk about.
    I guess it is more easy to sue than to keep up with changes in the way we consume entertainment, and the inherent evolution of technology.
    For instance, showcasing worthless CD/DVDs with plastic and wasting resources producing/moving that around/the costly premium real estate to show case them is obsolete as we talk in a digital world.
    It would be far more interesting shaving those costs, and create micro payments on recents films that would make "piracy" not worth it.
    And then there is the added cost and inconvenience of content geographic "localisation". Netflix in most country of Europe, has a limited selection of movies compared to the USA counterpart, and it is not worth the investment.
    Apparently, the only thing that stands in the way of media cartels is their greed...

    I think you really are not talking about the same programs, or I am missing something.
    In all the programs, the contestants are losers, which are desperately trying to get the ticket to fame in an effortless way.
    As for the voice, usually the judges are a bunch of idiots with friends in high places. Hell, come of think of it, it also defines the judges of the other programs too.
    Trash TV made by trash people for idiots.

    All he is doing is assisting people in accessing programs that the US government has already decided to offer. If they don't want people to utilize those programs then they should cancel them.

    Most of those "emails" are just automated scripts that send thousand of emails without any effort and surely with many false positives.
    Why do have the ISPs and their customers have to lose time handling them, and being the ones that are guilty until proven innocence, and doing the work of debugging the situation.
    I propose that they are fined $5000 USD per false positive. Let them do the work of sorting out their own mess.
