I just don't like that all these H1-Bs keep coming in here taking all the USA jobs >_< that's my only beef lol
we don't go $60k into debt only to be left looking for a job because hundreds of thousands are taken by foreign workers who do the same job or worse for half the pay because they're a captive audience under threat of being deported if they don't take whatever's given them
@jokerdino sure, but because they're willing to work for cheaper, even the less-skilled ones (of which there are tons being churned out of universities in the United States, too, don't get me wrong), look way more appetizing to hiring managers than having to pay a living wage to a USAian.
A lot of them only come here for about a sixth of their life -- maybe 10-15 years -- then go back to India, having lived like paupers here to save up money in the bank, then take it back to India and live like kings.
They don't contribute much to our community because they can't afford to. Donating, etc. When we take up donations for helping local schools, etc., I only see the managers and up contributing. The regular line employees? No.

@jokerdino Oh, it's different here. I see the Gujarati/Tamil/Telugu/Hindi people mingling very well and chatting and going out and walking, etc. all the time here. They all speak English in a large group. :P
Customer is much more balanced, diversity-wise. Yes, they have Indians, too. And blacks. And Asians. And everything else. But they also have a good share of whites.
I think it's because they're Government and probably have "quotas".
It's almost 20%/20%/20%/20%/20%, between whites, African-Americans, Mexicans, Indians and CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) at customer.
Here, it's 50-60% Indian, 30% African-American, very small percent CJK, and rest white.
he keeps drilling in the problem of "lack of experts" about automation -- the funny thing is, any decent or even mediocre programmer can learn automation very well
and probably more thoroughly than someone trained in just automation by rote
If we are unsure about something the professor said, we better not open our mouth. Coz it means we were not paying attention and we get called out in public.
that's interesting though, how the presentation method here gives us strong visual learning skills but weaker auditory listening skills, but in India, you practice auditory learning so much that it becomes your default mode of learning
a lot of USAians prefer to learn, mentor one another, etc. through email, IM, chat, presentations, video, etc., whereas I find that my Indian coworkers will not understand if I give them that; they need me to come over to their desk and explain it to them verbally
it's interesting: if I were in their place and not as familiar with English as my native tongue, I would want coworkers to send me emails so I can spend time translating it carefully (for any words I don't understand) to make sure I can comprehend it fully
instead, they prefer that I talk? in my native USAian English?
what does that have to do with quality and testing?
> you are not user-friendly to me.
> even though he is earning three lakhs per month
;p
300,000 INR -> USD = $4680 USD per month = $56160 USD -- this amount is barely enough to live on in many parts of the US, for 1 person, and definitely insufficient for a family
In practically every example of ZFS usage that I've seen online (including several questions here), the zpool is named "tank". Why? Is there some sort of significance to the name or is it just that the original documentation used "tank" so that's what everyone else uses, too? If you have more ...
@allquixotic just in case you ever want to do this: efibootmgr -c -g -L "Debian (EFI stub)" -l '\EFI\debian\vmlinuz' -u "add_efi_memmap boot=zfs rpool=tank bootfs=tank/ROOT/debian-1 root=ZFS=tank/ROOT/debian-1 initrd=\\EFI\debian\initrd.img ro vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1"
How do PGP encrypted emails work? I received an email the other day that looked like it was encrypted, but seemed to display as plain text in Gmail without any intervention.
Anyone have any suggestions for software that supports remote mob programming? Plenty of stuff for pair programming, but what about when you want more than 2 people and each person should be able to control the keyboard and mouse. So far it looks like floobits might be good.
I'm interested in Collaberative Developing and I was wondering if there are alternative solutions than using UNA (example video) from N-Brain. Free would be even better, but I guess that's not an option which such technology.
PS: The main future I'm looking for is working real-time with multiple...
@MichaelFrank Yeah, that can be found on key servers.
But you indeed basically need some form of trust instead of wildly assuming that they key you find on the key server is really from the person in question.
The cheap way is to check from different connections if the key is the same as adverted on the person's homepage and on multiple different key servers.
The more trustable way is to check if you know anyone from the chain of trust in real life.
The only way to know for sure nobody is setting you up is to meet the person in real life and ask him for his key.
But even then, it might still be a robot with a skin. Or a stranger in ur dream after brain manipulation. Or... 8-)
@MichaelFrank There are too much slang definitions nowadays. >_<
When I google an error and I see sevenforums in the results, I know immediately that unless the problem is really trivial and standard, it's not going to answer it.. and the community there judging by some of their answers, must be the stupidest on the internet
Our descriptions need to be as short as possible but still make some kind of sense, because most customers don't understand technical explanations. Your case sounds different, they should type it out properly or reference to some kind of solution document.
