CS in schools in general needs to focus a hell of a lot less on rote memorization of already solved algorithms that are neatly wrapped up into libraries we all commonly use, and instead focus like you state on language fundamentals as well as more generalized problem solving skills.

Wait, did I just hear something about VIOLENCE KILLER !?!?

I'm absolutely sick and tired of techies that belittle anything that is "easy" in tech. There is absolutely NO reason why we can't have a nice, simple, clean F/OSS desktop environment too.

Every time I bring up the user friendliness of Android being Linux and its end-user friendliness to the point that an overwhelming number of people don't even realize its Linux, I just get "WELL, THAT'S DIFFERENT, ITS NOT REALLY THE SAME"

Yeah, it isn't, because its EASY. So it gets belittled.

Microsoft is supposedly adding "sudo" to cmd at some point to elevate to admin.

These restaurants are very much the local community just as equally as any business worker or resident.

So yeah, the layoffs hurt everyone, even non Amazon workers.

FUCK GREED

Circuit Rewind @circuitrewind.com · 3d

The staff at all these places know me for being a regular, all coming up and chatting with me a ton because I'm the only customer.

And they're all concerned with the sudden lack of... Anyone at all showing up.

Normally these places are busy as hell with tech workers.

The restaurant staff are all having the same conversation at each location: places are empty when they're normally overly busy.

Going from 10+ tables full of multiple people per table, to a single customer during the second busiest hour of the day !?!?

This really REALLY sucks.

These Amazon layoffs are absolutely fucking heartbreaking.

I didn't work for Amazon, but I live very close to their Seattle campus.

Every restaurant I frequent and am known as a local at this week... Literally the only customer during the Noon lunch rush is just me...

Currently, no. 56k requires a digital modem. These current ones are analog modems, so just 33.6k (unless there is 56k digital on the other end)

But the stuff in the mail will hopefully do 56k speeds! :)

Apparently modems are complicated LOL

Also, didnt mention the T3 line there, which can handle over 600 phone lines!! :D

two things

1) working on internal dial-up for game consoles and BBS

2) this rack is portable, intended to take to retro events and provide phone and dial-up services to other vendors/tables at the shows :)

(oh, i didn't even mention there is another 100+ dial-up modems in the mail lolololololol)

Did some wire cleanup on my Telco rack this evening.

Currently setup for 48x POTS lines, 8x T1/E1 lines, and 16x dialup modems.

Yes, all of that, wired up, and pictured here to a single patch panel!!

isn't it great being in the "old" crowd now, having to research memes instead of just knowing and being apart of said meme?

(ya, i looked it up too, and then south park did an ep on it only a couple days after)
