passed the old temp record at 8am today

[blumpkin blownuts]

it got hot and broke a temperature record didnt you hear

yesterday was so above normal it was considered a statistically 1 in a 1000 years event

i don't support ows, there's a reason they're incoherent and misunderstood and chock full of lazy long-term bums, drunks and dopers, fools who really did get degrees in shakespseare, and a few agentes provacateurs, not to mention just agents, there to infiltrate & observe.
theres also alot of people who have every right to be pissed. i think i have a right to be pissed that motorola and other local companies sent thousands of high-tech jobs that i was studying for to fucking india.

but yeah if ows were to turn violent i would do my sworn job to (help) kill them

The jobs being outsourced are in support and manufacturing, there's nothing 'high tech' about that.

Get this: next to lake Superior in the duluth-superior area, it was 50 degrees.
Less than 10 miles out of town, it was 78 degrees.
People literally flocked to town yesterday to get out of the heat

[Desolation]

5 pages about the weather right?

[maks]

close enough yeah

[blumpkin blownuts]

fucking tree hugging lefty faggots ruined the UK don't let the USA be dragged down be this fuckwittery

really is it the lefty tree huggers that put a £30k camera pointing in every fucking window, and at the same time allowed for the "super-injunction" bullshit making it illegal to disclose any private details from everyone ranging from footballers to MP's? or was that the tories (commonwealth for 'NEOCONS')

[blumpkin blownuts]

and you think im detached from reality? assembly & support are the jobs being returned here. that's low-tech.
as i've said over and fucking over, the high-tech jobs that required a 4yr engineering degree are the ones that were outsourced while I was obtaining said degree, and they didn't return. assembly programming, electronics design - the few american companies left to do this can only afford to stick around by offshoring engineering to india & china. Why hire american graduates when it's more economical to hire a team in fucking Hyderabad, particularly when we already paid for their student visas so that these foreigns have the same degree as I do, from the same fucking university?
Explain how this fucking trickles down to me, or benefits any Americans at all outside of shareholders/Wall St?

Cheaper products.

[blumpkin blownuts]

so a sale at best buy is worth sacrificing our technological and defensive edge we've squandered to foriegns
best troll ever

[maks]

You asked how it benefitted any American, I told you. Not my fault you got screwed by globalization, I somehow managed to find work in the tech field without so much as a degree I'm confident you could have found something too if you spent a little more time looking for a job instead of popping pills until fjs becomes funny.

my japanese car (built completely inside Japan, whereas Nissan, Honda used mostly american labr at the time) retailed at $60k new in 1995, non-adjusted for inflation. got it for a song, probably $3000 less what it was worth but she had to sell it fast and i needed a big comfy coupe fast. 6 years driving it and i average $600/yr in repairs. the particular original transmission used in this model has never been shown to fail, not even after multiple engine replacemetns. there's no blatant, obvious reason why toyota/nissan should have exceeded american automakers for quality in the 90s/early 80s, they were going to their own japanese universities. many, even on the left, blame the UAW and their entitlements to basically live like bums and not pay a dime for medical costs.

then there's my chinese-made CRT cost me $120 new 10 yrs ago, when they wanted to try instead and hawk some expensive new flatscreen (the display models must have put out a good 100 BTu when nearby, great for winter, but what happens in summer?) I was just looking at price tags and I just wanted a decent picture that I didn't expect to work more than 5-6 years.
well the motherfucker refuses to wear out or show any reduction in picture/video quality, and i refuse to replace anything in good-working condition being the kyke miser bastard i am. so i'm saddled with this $120 chinese TV (Konka brand, if you're interested) and just try to think too hard about it. "why is it so well-made, when much chinese shit isn't?" "are they stealing knowledge from american academics?" etc stuffi just cant control or be bothered to lose sleep about

[maks]

"why is it so well-made, when much chinese shit isn't?"

China's a big country and makes millions of products, not all of it is shit.

look we do similar jobs for similar companies, we're not gonna discuss specifics for obvious reasons. we could easily do each other's jobs.
but unless you did go to uni I don't think you can program an old moto 68k to poll sensor inputs from all over a complex and filter out the noise and expected patterns from the signatures of an uninvited or snooping guest on the premises, all in machine code. Well, I can. I did it in class for fuck's sake. I'm supposed to be making that - not Yam Wang Tanh in some chinese hellhole with his ruling political party & defense ministry officials watching over his shoulder.

[maks]

Are you saying you can program in assembler code and cannot find a job doing that?

[blumpkin blownuts]

That's what I'm saying.

MIPS R2000, Motorola 6800/68000
i can get a job programming HLL but that's not my better skill, C and the like. i'd rather stamp license plates than program C

[maks]

You spent 4 years studying how to program for one specific ancient processor?

[maks]

"I can't find a job writing code for a chip that was released in 1974 because outsourcing and stuff. I am the 99%."

[maks]

seriously why would you study that? did you think the apple 2 was due for a comeback?

[blumpkin blownuts]

it wasnt about the tools it was the theory
and theres still plnety of applications (home electronics, appliances) that dont require CPU more advanced than intel or AMD, or a really anything havier than a $0.25 Z-80

that's what ARM is for bob you need to stay current if you expect people to value your skills. how far do you think I'd have gotten if I refused to learn anything more current than DOS?

[blumpkin blownuts]

i learned optimizing gate logic by hand using karnaugh maps, and also by using automatic optimization features in VLSI/layout editors
i learned the speed/reliability tradeoffs of various serial/parallel converters we designed for homework problems the previous night.

i learned to optimize a computer for whatever specific problem it's been asked to solve (how many clusters, how many cores, how much RAM, how much cache, how fast, how hot and how much power load?

[boobz]

i post here exclusively on DOS my first IBM and a dial up modem. like vinyl records for sound, using an old IBM and dial up makes it more 'real' posting here

american companies don't care if I know ARM from Super-H from "The Cell"
they have the real engineers do it from faraway places without running water
or they find some wasteoid from devry who can be taught "ladder logic" and waste expensive ass PLC and other little fuckin capsella toys as a design platform for $1000 a year tuition. I got scammed by the college education system that's all it comes down to. Could be the very same sharks that promised unqualified home borrowers their rates wouldn't go up if they made a single late payment.

I'm finding it hard to believe that you were scammed, one has to have their head pretty far up their ass to not realize that technology is evolving at light speed and studying a processor from the early 70's might not be the best career choice. sure, fine, the motorola 6400 is still used. it's used in FURBYS. the cpu in my $80 router would run circles around that thing. you might as well bitch that someone tricked you into studying horse drawn carriage design, you can't blame other people for your mistakes.

[blumpkin blownuts]

CPU's are like internal combustion engines...
it all operates on the same general principles; this is what you keep failing to see

[maks]

as for these home buyers, they should know that you get these promises in writing or they doesn't exist. every example you've given so far has been of stupid people paying the price for being stupid. that's not a sign of the degradation of society, it's just plain darwinism.

that's not even close to true. different architectures are drastically different, especially with a low level language like asm

[blumpkin blownuts]

that's not even close to true. different architectures are drastically different, especially with a low level language like asm

but they effect the same thing
input gets out of ROM and into process, the result gets stored

a carefully-designed shaft turns under the power of chemistry, and puts the vehicle in a different place

when you've worked on enough different kinds, you realize what parts are always in common and what parts just extra, or maybe included in some new design to try out, like a table-lookahead buffer or a branch prediction engine. or a cache manager that can score cache hits anywhere from 10% to 90%, based on the kind of simulation being benched

find a new career in something more static and maybe you won't be so angry
