I got it 4 or 5 times, last time it was a new pic though.

Wow pretty cheap prices!

nasm? the x86 assembler from the 90s?

0 of course, old guys rule!

0, but I’m an old coot, I did all of these

latest one for me is Lola Young - Messy

True, and Alpha are even worst, most of them never touched a real keyboard, only use 2 thumbs on a phone. Don’t tell them about windows (or/mac/linux) or what is a UI or how to use a mouse and navigate in a OS, they don’t get double click or right click, resize a window, minimize a window (OMG THE WINDOW IS GONE!!!) it’s impressive.

I have seen a lot of late Z/early Alpha who cannot make some special characters on a keyboard like " or $ or even worst using AltCar. Using Word to write a letter, using keyboard shortcuts, etc. they are completely clueless with computers.

I like awk, I started using it in the 90s in university, I’m not a pro, but this is so powerful!

Have you seen Musk balancing a fork and a spoon, mesmerizing! People around him were like at a “Musk Got Talent” show!

Yes, I’m in Canada and a software programmer for 25 years, and yes it’s not the golden age anymore, but we don’t have those H1B visa problem here. It also really depends of your field, if it’s frontend web/javascript it’s harder to find. If you are backend or embedded linux etc, it’s better I think.

Some fields like FPGA is highly looked for too.

I’m an old coot, I know some names like something paul, mr beast or pewdiepie, from when I was on reddit years ago, I know those guys are “youtuber” because I saw the thumbnail, but I have no clue what they do or what they speak of or why they would be famous?!? I don’t watch youtube, first because comments are toxics, it takes too much time, who spent hours listening/watching some rants by some guy in his basement?!? I’m like an out of touch skinner :)

Yes, especially China, they have “secret police stations” around the world, lot in Canada, where they track and harass Chinese citizens who have immigrated to Canada. It is well documented.

Those people were home schooled

yup, I did the “linux running metal” and using the same partition with a VM in Windows and it worked fine. It was years ago, certainly Ubuntu or MX Linux. IIRC the linux partition cannot be on the same drive than the linux partition, it needs to be a different drive.

true! old coot here!

What do you think will happen for Panama then? Do you think military will refuse too?

You mean, you cannot read cursive? I’m not even english native speaker and can read this easily, interesting

EDIT: ok I’m not english native, I didn’t want to offense anyone, I’m just an old coot who learnt cursive and only cursive at school in the 70s. I don’t know how to write with “block letters”

I was like this up to Master’s degree (in CS, in the 90s, it was easier, there was less languages or concepts etc), I only went to courses where I knew about nothing, like Prolog/Caml which is wtf language, and the “compiler” course where you learn about LL(1) grammar, lex/yacc, I knew nothing about this and had to go to the courses. Everything else like Pascal/C/Assembly/etc I did not go. Standard cum laude.

Of course it’s because of computers/languages where we learnt a lot ourselves at home, hacking. If it was economics or else, I would not be able to.

If in Québec, most of them watched it in French
