It's understandable. If it's a choice between learning how to use an advanced command line on an operating system designed not to use one, or a new Python programming framework, which do you think most readers here would spend their time on?
Except as I said Windows and the larger MS ecosystem are moving to require Powershell knowledge to be effective. Many, many things simply can't be done through the GUI anymore, in fact that are quite a few that can't be done with any combination of batch, gpo, and GUI, you MUST use Powershell to do them as the management interface layers aren't exposed any other way. Just because it says Windows on the tin doesn't mean it's the same thing as Windows of old, MS is moving slowly but surely to a much more scalable management system (CLI and API's) because their own ambitions to be the hosting provider for the small to midmarket companies has forced them to face the limitations of their legacy model.
but like 99% of Slashdotters, while I've heard of it, I've never actually used it
If that's even close to true then Slashdot has REALLY gone downhill from the early days. This used to be a place for geeky technical people who were into computers, even if you're not a primarily Windows person I would still expect you've run into them enough to have used Powershell (I'm primarily a Windows guy but I still know bash, tcsh, grep, tar, etc). If your job involves Windows to any degree beyond a groupware client and you don't know Powershell you're at a major disadvantage from this point forward as it's completely the direction that Windows and Microsoft server software is going (heck, they're now designing most of their stuff for o365 first and on-prem second so it's only natural that they want a powerful and robust CLI and API).
No, the Zumwalt class have the power, but so will the Ford class carriers. The Ford carriers were designed with solid state lasers and rail guns in mind, they produce 3x the power of the Nimitz class and have a vastly superior distribution network to enable many high power hard points.
Actually the Nest thermostat did that to quite a few people when the mandatory firmware update was pushed to their unit while they were on vacation and the units failed to work post-update. It's the #1 reason I won't buy a Nest or any similar cloud controlled product.
And based on the preorders they have investors lining up to loan them money. It's like the US national debt, it's only a problem if you don't expect to be able to repay it or if nobody wants to lend you money at reasonable terms. Tesla is not going to fold due to lack of funding sources, they might be less profitable in the medium horizon because they're paying off loans (but really, corporate rates, even for a company with their run rate, are at historic lows right now so it's not THAT much of a drag on future earnings), but they've got access to plenty of capital.
No, your idea leads to people who think doing full table joins between two 100M+ row tables on different servers to get a handful of results is a good idea. While there is a use for business analysts (people who translate business requirements into specs) the idea that you can be ignorant of CS principals and code is just wrong IMHO and IME. I'm a failed CS grad so I fully realize that not everyone is cut out for CS but I also realize that there IS a need for the coders out there, I know just enough to be dangerous and my code is usually only used for administrative tasks on at most hundreds of objects so my lack of efficiency generally only inconveniences me, when I've had to help diagnose the 'slow' database server that was brought to a crawl due to amateur code it irks me.
This is not an Apple problem, it's an industry and maybe even a societal problem. I don't even think it's possible to get a good job, get an A+ rating for every performance review ever, and expect to stay at that job for 5+ years. After 10 years, you are too expensive to keep around.
Lol, just left one job after 10 years, not because I was too expensive but because the new company had more resources to spend and could offer me significantly more. The average seniority at the new company for IT workers is 17 years and not a month goes by that our Office of ~700 people doesn't have an announcement for someone celebrating their 25 or 30 year anniversary. You just need to develop valuable skills, expertise, and a proven track record and there WILL be someone willing to hire you. Any time I've gone looking for top tier talent for a specific area of expertise the number of qualified respondents has been very low because the majority of people with the applicable skills are generally already gainfully employed, the unemployment rate for the last few IT focused surveys I've seen results from were under 3% which is an incredibly tight market. If you're IT, not entry level, and having trouble finding employment it's either something with your local market (and you're not willing to relocate) or you've done something very wrong with your career.
Uh, this facility is about cleaning up nuclear weapons and weapon research materials, nothing to do with nuclear power so of course the feds have to pick up the cost, who else is going to?
No, they're not. By definition the first world was the US and their post-WW2 allies, 2nd world was the communist bloc, and third world was everyone else, which included Mexico.
If you were thinking about developed vs developing vs underdeveloped they're classified as a developing country, they'd likely be a developed country if they hadn't lost control of major parts of the country to the narco-state.
Yeah, except they're twice the size of Target and revenue is still growing at 20+% per year so the multiple is probably justified. If they can keep it up they'll surpass Walmart in under 10 year and then they can stop putting capital into growth and really start making money. Imagine if Walmart could throw off 10-15% instead of 2.5%h
Um, they fixed it with new drivers, in the default configuration you'll either get current drivers or if you choose to install old drivers from media you'll be prompted to upgrade very quickly if not at install time (I know current NVidia installers check for updates from the web at install time).
Their problem is more likely related to all those people loading up high resolution copies of an artists entire album, then labeling it with "I do not own this content, I am putting it here for educational purposes only".
Uh, Youtube already has a mechanism to stop that activity, it's called content ID and the labels can either block the upload or monetize it, most are choosing to monetize as it's free revenue from their perspective. The artists are complaining that they aren't being compensated because those views don't count as a song or album sale, but that's a contract issue between them and the label, not some fault of the DMCA.
Economists just throw in a fudge factor that is likely to loosely model such details, risk adjusted cost of capital. At my previous job whenever we were evaluating a property for purchase we ran multiple models that included good, average, and bad economic conditions over the term of the loan and at the conclusion of the initial loan and used those numbers to figure out the risk adjusted average return.
Who cares about being on a watch list? I've been on them since the early 1990's, being interested in explosives and cryptography tends to lead that way. Hasn't kept me from working for a defense contractor or one of the largest law firms in the country. As long as I avoid doing anything overtly illegal there's nothing they can really do except come and talk to me and file a report which might or might not get brought up during a security interview (my first one did have a mention of it since my most recent visit from the FBI had been fairly close in time to the interview, subsequent ones it hasn't even come up). In case you haven't been paying attention the other thing that used to come with being on a watchlist (increased monitoring and scrutiny) has applied to everyone in the country since technology made it cheap enough for them to do so a file in a filesystem or entry in a database is really the only difference, big deal.
Probably not live fire, as someone posted up-thread the center of the cone is adjacent to the second longest rocket sled test track in the world, they're probably doing a test on the receivers as they travel down the track near the jammer.
Because the block II-F birds (12/31) lack selective availability hardware per presidential order and government policy, there is no way to degrade or turn off GPS to a particular region of the globe.
The units are all messed up, the record has to be in bytes because we have relatively inexpensive 100Gbps commercial systems today using 4x 25Gbps as the carrier, there's no way the best lab system is only 2x the cots rate.
By your use of km/h I assume you aren't an American. Nevada has lots of space, lots and lots of space (It's about 1/3rd the size of France but has only 2.8M people and 2M of those are in one town, Las Vegas).
Simple solution:get a new bank, or better yet if you're in the US a credit union. Then again I deal with two of the largest banks in the world (BoA and Wells Fargo, both through acquisition of other banks) and they have no problem doing online banking correctly.

However, the switches and options for the commands are all messed up
The worst in that regard is netsh where there are things you simply can't do through the aliased version.
No, the Zumwalt class have the power, but so will the Ford class carriers. The Ford carriers were designed with solid state lasers and rail guns in mind, they produce 3x the power of the Nimitz class and have a vastly superior distribution network to enable many high power hard points.

Both are important, we need to do more with fewer workers (automation) as well as care for those who have put in their work life.

The telecom guy from Mexico, that or the house of Saud.

does not get you on a government watch list,

National security exception, same reason we have FISA (the rubber stamp court).
The units are all messed up, the record has to be in bytes because we have relatively inexpensive 100Gbps commercial systems today using 4x 25Gbps as the carrier, there's no way the best lab system is only 2x the cots rate.
By your use of km/h I assume you aren't an American. Nevada has lots of space, lots and lots of space (It's about 1/3rd the size of France but has only 2.8M people and 2M of those are in one town, Las Vegas).
That company went bankrupt so obviously it's not economical.
Simple solution:get a new bank, or better yet if you're in the US a credit union. Then again I deal with two of the largest banks in the world (BoA and Wells Fargo, both through acquisition of other banks) and they have no problem doing online banking correctly.
I didn't hate it but I thought the other part of the double feature (Ratchet and Clank) was significantly better, if still a bit lacking.
