If you have a choice, and it costs nothing to choose ethical business partners, why do otherwise? He is not the only investor in town, especially if you are a good investment.
Yea. I remember his anti-woman, anti-worker rants I his garbage Stanford Review editorials back when he was just another selfish rich kid. Dude was always a self-hating Nazi bro-douche, itâ(TM)s shameful that anyone ever worked with him.
So you are a white male, did I guess right?
Me too, but only you seem to be a snowflake. I can handle women being smart... it happens OFTEN. Deal with it, you make us all look bad. Thanks k bye.
Calling anti-racists âoeracistâ and feminists âoesexistâ is perfect Russian bot doublespeak.
Good people work against their own bias, and work to leave other people alone.
Your bias is showing, dude. Iâ(TM)m an old white guy, Ivy League education. As such, I know racist bull, and Iâ(TM)m calling yâ(TM)all on it. Sorry if it hurts.
Who is the older racist guy in your life that you want to be OK? I have studied you guys from the inside: protecting your patriarchal heroes is what motivates you, along with creating an âoeotherâ to justify your selfish fears.
LOL!!!
Look, I myself learned to write code in BASIC on a CP/M system, but really folks... it ainâ(TM)t 1984... Python or something OO at least, please... teach folks to write an Android app or something... BASIC lol...
False. Why is it that a white guy like me can tell you are full of it, but you keep lying to yourself anyway? Who is the racist, sexist douchebag you look up to, who you are trying to make a nice guy? Is it your dad?
So, youâ(TM)re a white male who likes the benefits of patriarchy?
If you were able to work against your own bias, youâ(TM)d realize you sound like someone back in the day saying âoebeating your slaves is bad, but abolition goes too farâ.
The only people who would have a problem with this are people unwilling to work against their own bias.
As an old white guy, I think this sort of thing should be mandatory standard behavior from folks like myself who have benefited greatly from social bias... but Iâ(TM)m trying not to be a selfish ass.
Loads of folks have clearly decided they would prefer a patriarchal, racist system that benefits them, and want to believe that greed is good... they fail to see that this leads to conflict and war. Yâ(TM)all racist and sexist duckers need to back the fuck down. It ainâ(TM)t about âoePCâ, itâ(TM)s about yâ(TM)all being dicks.
For most of you, itâ(TM)s down to the fact that you donâ(TM)t want to admit what kind of fuckery yâ(TM)all been supporting your entire lives.
Your âoetruthâ is just bias, especially when applied to a large group of individuals. That you donâ(TM)t work against your own bias is why you are so often mistaken in your assumptions: itâ(TM)s a logical trap youâ(TM)ve enabled to keep thinking your biased, bigoted parents and leaders are not bad people. The folks working to show you the downside of your positive bias towards people like yourself are not wrong. People who would favor a guy like Damore or a guy like Trump are subjectively bad people, sorry... yâ(TM)all are biased liars, trying desperately to not realize how many lies yâ(TM)all were told by patriarchs over the years.
If you manage to feel that persecuted as a white guy, that feeling youâ(TM)re experiencing is really just you finding out that you and your dad are assholes, sorry. Deal with it and learn to be a better person.
If you are part of a class of people who have clearly enjoyed hundreds of years of unearned benefits, like me, Iâ(TM)d imagine being a brown woman and STFU. If youâ(TM)re not trying to be a dick, thatâ(TM)s what ya do.
If you arenâ(TM)t fighting your own bias, you are enabling that bias. Do you know how racist you sound? Not likely... but giving cover to supporters of white supremacy is about as racist as one can get. Itâ(TM)s ugly. Sorry. Fix yourself, you arenâ(TM)t leaving your brain fit for the realities of the cold, cruel, world filled with brown and female people who arenâ(TM)t as protected by the system as you.
Sincerely,
A white male who cringes at your acceptance of neoconfederate ideals.
Nice straw man, but the code clearly lets you send that first hug. Youâ(TM)d know you were being a dick if you kept sending hugs to someone who asked you to stop, though, right?
Most people replied that the best language for RAD was Delphi. A few said go with Java. I didn't choose any of these, I preferred Visual Basic to have the peace-of-mind of Microsoft.
That StarTeam SCM thing includes ( at least as an optional component ) what once was
Segue Silk, a test automation tool.
So basically they're buying a shrinking small percentage of a shrinking market that nobody in the current economic and development environment is interested in sinking money into. But at least they're getting it for 'cheap' ?
Write code that interests you, sell it or give it away, and build up a body of work that you can point to.
-jcr
I'll second that, as well as the suggestions to
- get a SQE-type job, coding unit or API tests and
- look at small companies and apply for those lower-end Programmer jobs anyway.
Those things are what I did and... well, actually, after programming for a good long while I'm now a QA manager who does quite a bit of tool-and-test coding and playing mentor to more "junior" programmers... pays better than my last programming gig, whatever you think of QA work.
Anyway... the truth is, many companies "lie" in their job descriptions, especially in terms of years of experience they'd settle for. Less than 3 years experience on a job advert means they'll consider your QA work, especially if it includes some programming of some kind somewhere.
The problem with too many years of QA work is that, eventually, the hiring manager will wonder if you really can write code of your own, or if you really desire to... they'll wonder why you didn't get a programming gig at some point, and you'll have to convince them that the last program you wrote wasn't for a CS class.
Ultimately, to get that programming gig, you need to have written code on projects that produce something you can talk about or show off. JCR says to write code that interests you; as with all things in life, that's going to be what you enjoy and are more easily successful in, so it's great advice. If you can also write code where you work ( even if it's less interesting to *you* ), that's good to do, if you remember it and count it as programming experience on your resume and in interviews.
The important thing is to gain experience writing code, if you want to convince someone that's what you have experience doing. Write code at work, on your own, or, as many suggest, as part of an open-source project... however you do it... write code... have something to talk about in your interview besides test plans and button clicks.
Here's hoping that he receives the same sentence as Hans Reiser. Cheers! Hans Reiser has not been sentenced yet. That happens on July 9.
My hope for true justice includes someone claiming rights to everything Daryl owns, requiring him to spend huge amounts of money defending his assets in court. I'd say someone should take credit for something Daryl created, but it's pretty clear that he isn't likely to create anything worth claiming rights to.
Most likely, a) the help desk person has been told they may be reprimanded/fired if they do anything against the IT Security policies like install anything not on the "supported software" list. b) the help desk person is NOT someone who knows what the Hell they are doing, or they'd have a job that pays better than what the management has decided help desk staff is worth. c) if the help desk drone is in a hurry to get you off the phone, they're being evaluated based on 'call time resolution', which usually is how long it takes them to get you to go away...
clearly, these are not the fault of the help desk drone, they're all the fault of management... and probably not IT management, at that...
If you're an IT programmer, your CIO and Security Officer need to get together and either create a development facility ( read: separate network ) where you can install all the software you want and surf all the scary websites you want, or they need to create a process where you can get your special-purpose development software special-purpose approval in less than 7 months' time. If they can't do either, or don't see the need, you can work to convince them, live with their decision, or find a company with different goals and leadership. The ISO IT Security standard that your company's policies are likely based on says they really need to create that separate development network.
Really, this is likely *all* about your director of Security.
I somehow doubt that Iraq and Afganistan are really where these "Cyber Command" guys have their targets set.
More interesting might be the question of non-governmental entities... are they looking at disrupting terrorist organization websites and other servers ?
ok, right... JBoss if you really need J2EE stuff. My experience? What most folks are doing can be done with Servlets alone, they just like buzzwords. There are definitely things you want a J2EE app server for, though...
JBoss is the answer, there. I stand corrected. I don't know why anyone would use anything besides JBoss or Tomcat. Thanks for the correction, I'm ashamed I let that slip.

Thatâ(TM)s like saying youâ(TM)re all for equal rights, but abolishing slavery by law goes too far. Would you have been better off born as a woman?
