Strength thought unity! Unity through faith! England prevails!
I would like to point out that all the Scandinavian countries have higher happiness indexes than North America. Booming tech and commodities sector and are properly investing to grow their countries value. Taxes are high but I would argue that they have no really poor people.
Their metro used to be run on the honor system.
(I’m no longer sure if it is)
Most white people don’t want to work low-end jobs and would rather have immigrants do those jobs for them.
Most white people don’t want to work any non-financial technical jobs either.
Why does a country allow lax immigration in the first place? If they didn’t can you imagine how expensive a plastic tub of strawberries would be?
~ 1 cup of blueberries is like $5 or $6 USD with Mexicans picking it on the cheap. Can you imagine what would happen if a white person (who wants $1000 / week) were to be picking blueberries? You’d have a huge inflationary shock to the system.
Microsoft is importing Indians and Asians like crazy, because there are not enough qualified people being produced by American schools.
23/25 CS graduates could not properly use pointers. A female senior in my operating systems class once asked me for help.
Her: I did almost everything like he said. I pretty much copied and pasted the example algorithm, but it’s not working. It keeps crashing at this point where it tries to read the information into the input buffer.
Me: Hmm, let me take a look. Let me take a look. Did you call malloc to allocate memory?
Her: What do you mean allocate memory?
Me (inside my head): Are fucking kidding me? You’re a bloody senior with a 3.8 GPA and you don’t know you have to allocate memory to use it?
Me: For this class we’re working in C. In C++ the string and vector classes automatically handled the memory management for you. Since you need to store stuff in a buffer you need to call a memory allocation routing to reserve space to put the relevant information. That variable with a star next to it is a pointer. In other words it is an integer that points to the physical memory address
in the computer, where the information is stored. The pointer itself is a WORD, or a 32 bit integer on this specific platform.
Her: Why can’t I just use the variable?
Me (inside): There is no hope.
Me: It’s like reserving a locker in a private gym. You can’t just go and put stuff anywhere you want. You might put your stuff in someone else’s locker and then it will get stolen, moved, or damaged when they try to put their stuff in there. The operating system is like a security guard at the gym who will stop you and kick you out if you’re not using your reserved locker.
Her: How come, I can’t just use the = sign to assign values to the pointer.
Me (inside): Wow. She has no internal concept of how a computer works. Somehow she has managed to make it this far by being nothing better than a monkey.
Me: That would be like trying to store your stuff in the piece of paper that tells you your locker nnumber.
