I actually have a person in my life complain about this shit with the last Bond movie (I havent watched it, i just heard complaining). Oh and Into the Spiderverse, he disliked spiderman being non-white - even though Peter Parker is in that fucking film. He also uses the phrase woke all the time.

I really don't value his opinions on these sorts of issues and neither should anyone. He's got so little in his life and these stories are a powerful escape from the shit he isn't dealing with. I won't go into it, not my circus etc.

Basically, he likes to imagine himself as Luke Skywalker and he can't imagine himself as Rey so she's woke and bad. It's a boring way of consuming media and he's an idiot. He says there's an agenda but can self identify the agenda is maybe letting the women and coloured people be on screen sometimes. However, they do not look like him so they are bad and the agenda is bad.

They're not worth listening to.

Yeah I had uni projects with people in the same degree as me (Comp Sci) who straight up said they never learned to code. It baffled me that two people would both leave the degree not knowing the same stuff. I honestly don't know how they were passing classes in some cases.

There's definitely too much knowledge for any one bootcamp, uni course or YT tutorial to teach and experience gaps are hard to identify until they come up. Best thing uni did was teach me how to teach myself, but someone following YT tutorials likely has that skill. That's probably the most important skill to have as someone in tech imo.

Yeah look that was the front page of the repo talking about how it has C/C++ and Fortran code, sorry for not reading the docs and finding out that yes they still use C/C++ and Fortran code in the form of OpenBLAS which is a dependency... f2py is just a method of doing the following:

F2PY facilitates creating/building native Python C/API extension modules that make it possible

• to call Fortran 77/90/95 external subroutines and >Fortran 90/95 module subroutines as well as C functions;

• to access Fortran 77 COMMON blocks and Fortran 90/95 module data, including allocatable arrays

from Python.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but if you're implementing an api for one programming language to talk to another then that means you have 2 programm-

I wake up as a lizard. The meaning of kernels, subroutines and programming languages is already fading. I realise the rock I am lying on is slightly in a shadow and move into the sun. Might eat a bug later...

It provides:

• a powerful N-dimensional array object
• sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
• tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code
• useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities

Not according to the repo I sourced from your message.

Hey don't let me get you down, it sounds like you learned a lot and you're good at what you do. Maybe the elitist part of me (I hated uni but I arguably went to a "good school") a little bit wants others to go through the exam + assignment structure I did just to verify they are "good". But, I think the industry is shifting towards hiring from a test of ability, plus there's the 3-6 month probationary periods...

I don't mean to say everyone needs a degree, just that people can complete a 2 week bootcamp, and still not be qualified. Just like how some people can learn a lot from structuring their own education. I needed others to tell me what I needed to learn, and wouldn't have had the discipline to learn from YouTube.

There's no perfect answer and too much knowledge to transfer than a degree can provide anyway. If you can code, you're good enough. Take that with the caveat of: everyone still has a lot more to learn. Imposter syndrome is the norm, so is burnout. Take care of yourself and try to enjoy.

Oh and please - for the love of the cyber workforce - learn about common vulnerabilities and how to avoid writing them in to systems!

So he's saying that people whose entire qualification are they went through a 2 week boot camp or through a youtube tutorial aren't qualified...? I think? I tend to agree if thats all theyve done, but to be honest a lot of my degree felt like it could have been a 4 hour YT tutorial.

People who get out of uni have no real world experience and should be treated as a juniors though. I've met a lot of people who have book smarts and no idea what to do after theyre in an org. They're weird to work with because you can explain a concept, they'll get it but not be able to apply it or fully see relevance. They're intelligent but lack experience, which seniors provide.

The LinkedIn OP doesn't write clearly, but seems to think junior roles don't do real work. He clearly needs to work in a SOC role to see the difference between a junior and a senior. Lacking experience doesn't mean no meaningful output.

Y'all don't use poweroff?

Did you mean Visual Studio the second time?

I think capitalism with a healthy mix of socialism can benefit quite a lot of people. I'm never going to say Australia is perfect, we have spineless government officials that work against our interests to help rich fucks and a considerable problem with how the original owners of our country are still treated, but I like to use my country as an example cos Americans like to hate on Europe for being too different.

I get charged $30 to see a doctor (this could be considered expensive and our government is aiming to fix this, and there are places you can go for free) thanks to taxes. People actually get health insurance claims paid out because we have laws and oversight of the insurance companies.

I worked a shit job in a factory putting boxes onto a palette for 8 hours a day, and I got paid $28 an hour to do that with legally mandated break times. That was above minimum wage by like $1.50 or something. We have "awards" (a term I don't entirely understand tbh) and agreements with the governments that force us to earn a decent wage, and we constantly argue about it being put up. It also gets raised when enough of us kick up a stink. I worked there during Uni, and the business was required to be flexible with my hours. They couldn't fire me if I said no to coming in because I could take that to a federally funded legal body who would sue them for me.

Not a single person here is worried about going broke from needing an ambulance or life saving surgery. We have a voting system where the whole country has to rock up to the polls, or they get fined, and voting day is a Saturday. We pay people... almost enough, there's still issues including inequality issues, but it's a shit ton more than $7.50 an hour.

You lot have government officials that consistently let you down and get distracted by the way your businesses are owned. Show up to vote. Vote in your interests. Riot when anticorruption investigations get defunded or impeded. Public servants work for you, make them feel that way. Call them and remind them of that.

Sorry for ranting but I just get so frustrated by all the talk of tearing the system down and rebuilding. Force the people you voted in to do the right thing, or make them wish they had by ending their careers.

I love how none of them look like they're meant to be in the photo. They are somehow all crammed in.

Be excellent to each other, be less than excellent to these dweebs
