I guess I was confused by your previous claims of 'no dead wood or slackers' in government contracting. This post pretty much directly contradicts that.
I don't think I ever used the term "deadwood" in a comment. Slackers on my government IT job do get fired and find themselves back on the unemployment line in two weeks. I don't understand how my statement about the contracting life and recruiter contradicts my past statements about my current job. Trump could get Congress to cancel my contract today and I'll get a new job tomorrow.
That read like some of my discussions with the asshats here. I have yet to get one to kill themself. Something I'll have to program into the AI script to do when posting comments on my behalf.
If recruiters, not former coworkers are your best route to a new job, you aren't very good at your job.
I'm an IT support contractor. I don't get to form long lasting relationships because I could get let go today and have a new job tomorrow. Meanwhile, all my former coworkers are hanging on their to jobs, 2% raises and hoping that seniority will protect them from the next round of layoffs. The difference between them and me is that I know I'll have to find another job. So do the recruiters.
You should expect a turnover every 4-5 years and plan accordingly.
Before the Great Recession, I used to switch jobs every three years, sometimes at the same company or a different company. After the Great Recession, I worked whatever contracting job I could land. A contract can last anywhere from four hours, days, weeks, months or years. I'm currently halfway through a five-year contract in government IT.
Seeing a presentation about space is socializing? Gotcha. You know what I did? I went out to a restaurant then hung out with a bunch of girls at a k-pop karaoke. Today I decided to go to Italy for euro labor day for a week or two. Went online, booked the trip - gonna work remote for a bit. After 20 years of experience, I can do that without saving and planning, as it's going to cost just a few day's wages. Not quite a show by some unknown stripper in the evening gymnasts in vegas though. I'd need to save up for that. Till about lunch.
You're the asshat with the drinking and financial problems! No wonder you sound so bitter in your replies. You should really lay off drinking $3,000 per night on wine. It's not healthy lifestyle.
Once you have fully operational self-driving cars, robots will roam up and down the hallways of apartment complexes to deliver packages. Like the food dispenser robots in Judge Dredd (Stallone).
There were many cases about this kind of infamous contract iirc.
The company and government are trying to make this a criminal case and so far had lost twice on appeal. The programmer and his attorney are trying to turn this into a civil case. If he doesn't win the appeal for a third time, he will face four years of prison time.
Japan, Germany and Italy have some of the lowest levels of social media use, and they all have some of the world's oldest populations.
The US isn't far behind in old folks. In 2030, the baby boomers will be retired, retirees will outnumber workers, and two-thirds of the federal budget will got to Social Security/Medicare. Taxes will have to go way up to pay for everything else. It's conceivable that we might have a decline in social media usage in the coming decades.
OK, if nobody would hire you for "white box", why couldn't you continue "black box" testing with responsible disclosure. There is a lot of money in that.
My black box testing experience was six years as a video game tester and lead video game tester, six months as software tester for a virtual world and six week as a software tester for an ebook reader. Some hiring managers would find my experience "lacking" because none of it was a "mainstream" product. I didn't want to continue as a video game tester because all the local companies were moving to Southern California for the Hollywood convergence that never happened. Recruiters kept offering me positions in IT support when I started applying for white box testing positions.
I was confused because you indicated an inability to break into the industry and assume you misspoke trying to indicate what you where doing was unsanctioned and not necessarily legal.
Forget the AIs. The pain starts in 2030 when the baby boomers are retired, retirees will outnumber workers and Social Security/Medicare will consume two-thirds of the federal budget. Taxes will have to go way up to pay for everything else.
Do you mean "black hat", because when I read black box, I assume you are testing a device with no documentation. I'm not sure what a white box is, maybe well documented?
Black box testing is testing something without knowing how it works inside. White box testing is testing something while knowing how it works inside. Grey box testing is a mixture of the two, say, a device with an exposed API that doesn't document the internal workings.
I don't believe you are sitting there waiting for scripts 7 days a week. Or maybe I do. Is you title sr computer operator?
I have a regular job that pays the bill and I have my own company. It's not unusual for entrepreneurs to work seven days a week. I'm currently running a script pinging systems while listening in to a conference call at my bill-paying job.
[...] you are a fat fuck who has a chin on his chin [...]
That picture was taken four years ago and I didn't start my 1,500-calorie diet until recently. There two types of people on Slashdot: the ones who see my picture and come back with "you are a fat fuck", and everyone else.
I bet when someone gets stuck next to you on a plane they ask to be moved.
I never had that problem. I'm heavy but I'm not wide enough to pay for an extra seat.
The fact that you went to a comic book event to see captain kirk actually proves my point about you socializing on slashdot.
I also saw astronaut Buzz Aldrin's presentation on going to Mars.
The guy hacked A UNIX NETWORK! I heard those networks are hardcore, some even use the vi protocol to load balance the kernel across multiple NFS loopbacks. It's basically POSIX grade security with layers upon layers of nmaps.
Npm is the Node.js Package Manager. Many JavaScript programmers who don't use Node.js directly in their own projects will use npm for the JavaScript tool chain environment. I use JavaScript sparingly in my own projects so I'm not that familiar with the language. I'm under the impression that JavaScript doesn't have a standard library outside of its core functionality, but it does have a ton of frameworks available.
Once upon of time this was corporate espionage, now it seems to be common place.
Except what he stole was source code files that contain modifications (some of it his own code that he developed outside of work) for open source programs. His company called the FBI to keep a star programmer from working someone else. The FBI thought they had a Russian spy because they didn't understand what he did or didn't do as a programmer. He beat the rap twice in the last eight years. Now that he has a new job lined up doing the same kind of work that he has done before, the case got revived.
Meanwhile, the last guy who stole code from Wall Street, Sergey Aleynikov,
who inspired the book, "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt" by Michael Lewis, is still in the legal system after eight year.
And likely spoonfuls of prozac in the mornings and most definitely the anti-depressant of a 4k calorie diet.
I don't take anti-depressants. Never had, never will. My current diet is 1,500 calories per day.
Where you for example sit at work "waiting for a script" so you're on slashdot. Do you actually believe that? How's that script of yours doing?
I just finished re-writing the parser section of my Python script. It's currently grabbing, parsing and saving my 8,000+ comment history into a CSV file. This usually takes 30 minutes.
I believe you are a fat loser with no brains, so this is where you socialize.
I was at the Silicon Valley Comic Con 2017 this weekend, where I posted some comments on Slashdot in between events. Check out my William Shatner video from the sixth row at the City National Civic.
Yes, it means your functions aren't allowed to have side effects (i.e., all parameters are passed by value and the only result is the value returned to the caller).
I generally program that way in Python. I'll have to add functional programming language to my bucket list.
you're not qualified to comment on getting ahead. literally everything about you is below average but your weight. and you are proud of being our clown. good for you.
You sound like my mother. Good thing I stopped listening to her when I was teenager. Otherwise, I would have committed suicide and the world would be worse off place than it is now.

You can't just blurt something asinine like that, without a reliable source.
This is Slashdot. You must be new around here.

This wouldn't have happened on a Windows network.
Why does Npm needs to be any different ?
Npm is the Node.js Package Manager. Many JavaScript programmers who don't use Node.js directly in their own projects will use npm for the JavaScript tool chain environment.

I supposed there is more to functional programming than using functions in a program?
