I said modern programming languages. I do not consider C a modern language. The point still stands about abstraction in modern languages. You don’t need to understand memory allocation to code in modern languages, but the understanding will greatly benefit you.

I still contend that knowledge of the cpu pipeline is important or else your code will wind up with a bunch of code that is constantly resulting in CPU interrupts. I guess you could say you can code in assembly without knowledge of the cpu architecture, but you won’t be making any code that runs better the output code from other languages.

Assembly requires a knowledge of the cpu architecture pipeline and memory storage addressing. Those concepts are generally abstracted away in modern languages

Would you care to elaborate why you say that isn’t a huge pay raise? It seems quite significant to me.

These machines are typically wired to electrical directly. I would expect they are powered using 480 VAC. Google states they typically use about 14kw in standby mode and up to 80 kw for a scan.

Thank you both for a positive example of challenging someone’s post.

I’m guessing CF stands for cluster fuck.

For those not familiar with it, it is an aptitude test that covers a wide range of topics. The results can be informational. Beware if you score well enough to fill a job in the army that is really understaffed, you will never get the recruiters to stop calling.

It isn’t always that they don’t know what they want, sometimes they just don’t know how to describe what they want, or they may know what they don’t want.

From what I could find, she isn’t eligible to run until she is 35. https://www.usa.gov/requirements-for-presidential-candidates#:~:text=The U.S. Constitution states that,United States for 14 years

That says anyone who meets the requirements can declare their candidacy.

Would be nice to see the faces of those proud boys showing up at school board meetings too. If they realize that, expect the bill to die quickly.

Video shows three new origins plus the ability to have non-gestalt consciousness. New megastructures.

The 17th amendment tells them to eat shit. Not sure how they plan to write that legislation so it won’t be found unconstitutional.

I would prefer it to be opt in, instead of opt out. Maybe the centralized opt out won’t be as toothless as the do not call list.

We didn’t replace jobs with productivity gains. We absorbed them into our jobs. Consider expense reports. Used to be that you would send all your receipts to an administrative assistant and they would send you a report to approve. Now that work gets pushed down to an individual responsibility. Company thinks if we let each worker do a little more, we can get rid of this position.

I see texting as a method of asynchronous communication. I tell people, “If you need a fast reply from me, call, don’t text.”

It could be they just wanted to checkin and see how you were, not really looking to have a conversation. I think it really depends on what the opening text was.

Should call it jerk day.
