WHAT? The rest of the world craves and imitates US culture in so many ways. Wow, how delusional are you?
Just because there are McDonald's outside of the US does not mean they copy your "culture"... what culture? Riding rodeo on bulls? Square dance? America is a country that is considered "to have no culture", at least from an European or Asian point of view.
No one really uses macOS outside of people developing iOS apps. You are an idiot. (Where do actually all the Mac applications come from?)
Go to any developer conference, especially if it is centered around Java, and look what the people have on their desk: 80% are Mac's and I would bet a huge deal of the remaining run Linux.
Plasma has no living tissue, and is sterilized before infusion. That is double wrong. It is not sterilized, what would be the point of that? And yes it has living "tissue", otherwise it would be completely pointless to donate and infuse it. E.g. thrombocytes.
"Body parts"? Selling plasma is little different than selling urine. Donating is harmless. It is not. You get hit by a truck the moment after donating, or a few days later, you wished you had not donated.
Payments for plasma are illegal in most of Europe. That is nonsense.
Blood donors are not paid. Plasma donors are. While it is still called "donation", all donors are payed. About 25EURO per donation. And "blood donors" get a slightly higher pay, but can only donate about every 6 weeks, while plasma donors can donate more often (I believe 4 weeks).
Your examples are only relevant if one is applying for a job in exact that context.
My last programming question was a high level design for a bowling counting system (I never bowled before and did not know the complex rules of counting).
The company did embedded software *and* java based connectivity software on top of that embedded system (linux based) to connect cars with the car manufactor.
Hence: the programming question had nothing to do with the topic. It was a general question where no special API knowledge was required. And yes, I consider the very simple C based EOF loop to copy a file: a special API! You can as well ask how to create a window in Qt and place a button upper let corner: super simple, but: a special API.
The thing is you can't trust the resume. Resumes are full of lies! I'm not in the hiring business, so no idea. My CV has no lies:D but my english one is not up to date, in case you are interested.
it's that if you've never learned assembly, you have no fucking clue what your computer is doing. I doubt that.
Every low level language helps you understanding it. And actually there is not much to understand what a computer is doing. Well, in our days with pipelines and speculative execution, there is. But such hardware is rare in embedded.
My point of view is pretty simple, people here on/. who did/do assembly and did/do embedded look down on others who did not. And on top of that they claim: the ones who did not can by default not be "good programmers". And that is complete nonsense...
And you sound like one who thinks a guy who once raced in formula one can not run a go cart.
Sorry, your explanations make no sense. Do you really think I'm to dumb to use any processor you throw at me? Do you assume I never read the manual? Do you assume I don't understand the "boot process"?
If apple continues the downhill path, switching to linux likely will be my way, too. Unfortunately they have no decent Mail app... at the moment I'm actually searching for a good one written in Java so I can tweak it till it is like the Mac one.
Obviously you should switch off automatic updates on a mac, too...
No idea why the parent got modded down. Problems like this you have all the time on various Linux distributions. Obviously he was able to manage it himself.
Always use intX_t that states the width explicitly. Yeah, you should have told me 1985, did not know that.
You don't get any memory protection, Strange, my last embedded system run on 4 ARMs... did not know they have no memory protection.
exceptions crash the whole thing Strange, I use C++... you write somewhere catch (Exception x) ... did not knot know it crashs anything.
, and you have to handle your own interrupts. Yes, by setting up interrupt handlers.
Do you want to scare away newbe embedded programmers?
As I pointed out before: embedded programming is much more simple than "real world programming"... no idea why you disagree, you probably only did one of both and... cough cough... are not good at it and so you think the rest of the world is even worth?
Oh, and your code needs to run perfectly for years without stopping or running out of memory That is kind of funny, why exactly would a solution written in C, that does not run out of memory, suddenly run out of memory because it is written in Java or C#? Do you actually have any clue about programming?
Thanks for trying to diagnose me over the internet though That is easy.
Because: It's arthritis, and not the kind you get from old age. In the hands and fingers: close to impossible.
obviously I never bothered to see an actual doctor about it. Then you should. Regardless what it is, both is in our times easy to "treat" or at least to soften the symptoms. (In your hands, obviously treating arthritis in your hips is close to impossible)

Touch doesn't work like a mouse.
Actually: it does.
No idea why guys on /. try to argue otherwise. Oh, you have a mouse with 5 buttons, sure, my touch skills probably won't be on par with that.
PWAs work on iPhones/iPads since decades. (Progressive Web Apps)
And there is nothing special "to support", just use HTML5 and be done with it.
I hate stupid haters ...
Rofl
Yes it has.
What the fuck would have enrichment to do wit it?
And: the neutrons don't come from fission, that should be obvious. Don't you learn anything in physics anymore?

Europe's ban on payments is idiotic.
There is no ban in Europe. How do you come to that retarded idea?

It is not.

I try not to self diagnose myself :D :D
I know deep inside I'm hypochondriac
But I guess I should get it checked.

Ad hominem! I WIN!
No, you lose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I stated a fact, you are an idiot. But I accept if you feel insulted. However I did not use an ad hominem fallacy :P

WTF ... you are super silly.
Perhaps you want to read how a fission bomb works ... it has no moderator.
Perhaps you want to read how a fission reactor works ... how does he moderator magically create neutrons? Hint: it does not.
And no, i don't give you the wiki link that tells you how a reactor is started ...
Learn something before hurling insults. :D, idiot.
It is not an insult if I state a fact. Albeit you might feel insulted
Not at the moment, and it would not be a screenshot, but a shot with the camera showing multiple screens and a window spanning them.
Wow, thanks for the advice.
But now as I read about it, I get scared. When I wake up in the morning my finger joints have light pain, too. After 2 or 3 minutes it is gone.

I only was sarcastic ... however bad code can simply be the result of incompetence and not only stress.
No idea why the parent got modded down.
Problems like this you have all the time on various Linux distributions. Obviously he was able to manage it himself.
It also gives out neutron radiation ... which is not stopped by a sheet of paper. ...
Idiot
You are an idiot.
Why don't you read a book about the topic?
it does't re-render fonts
Yes, it does, or why do all 4 corners of a window stretched over four displays with different DPI look equal?
Always use intX_t that states the width explicitly.
Yeah, you should have told me 1985, did not know that.
You don't get any memory protection, ... did not know they have no memory protection.
