When I was younger Godley & Creme's "An Englishman in New York" seemed like some surreal nightmare parody of a city. These days, it seems almost quaint.

I can only speak for myself, but when you're used to doing everything yourself, being self sufficient, and working hard for everything, this isn't necessarily the biggest setback.
100%. We couldn't stop the democrat steal because we were asking democrat attorneys and democrat judges to stop democrat fraud. That's why Texas sought a ruling from SCOTUS - because it makes no sense for a red state to chain itself to the political will of blue states when they do not abide by their own election laws.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by Democrats, Progressives, and former Confederates. Anti-Asian discrimination was maintained through the Progressive Era, and brought to it's peak with the Internment Camps under FDR.
As the inner-linked, and happily archived ABC article [ https://archive.is/E6Ar1 ] states, they never actually apologized.
As a company with diverse leadership, we are especially sensitive to, and aggressively oppose, discrimination in any form. We deeply regret this occurrence, and we are especially saddened by the pain it caused and by the resulting misperception of our values. Aptude is, and takes great pride in being, a wholly diverse organization. The majority of our ownership, leadership, and staff consist of minorities, and all of us at Aptude are passionate about supporting diversity and the long overdue social change we are experiencing. We hope to be judged by our proven, diverse history and a place that welcomes all.
They have "regrets" and are "saddened" about 'misconception'.
They regret they were too explicit about what they're doing. If they had hid their discrimination behind "metrics that we swear aren't 'quotas'" and policies requiring interviewing "diverse" candidates before making an offer like everyone else they could have flown under the radar.
I could say some very true and insensitive things about the various behaviors of programmers from around the world, but frankly I don't want to start a thing and everyone who actually does software engineering knows all the cliches anyway.
Do you think the unreadability is due to English not being their first language, or them just being bad programmers? I've heard Indians in the tech sector are very nepotistic with their own kind.
Nepotism and hierarchy are definitely contributing factors. The longest job titles with the largest numbers in them are all from our India office. I still don't know how "Principle Engineer II" works, but there you go.
You know how when you're designing something and someone more senior says "try it this way", and you try doing it that way only to discover actually it's not going to work, and then you don't do it that way? An Indian programmer will be far more likely to bang on that code until it works -- even if it doesn't work as well -- because someone more senior told them to do it that way.
Diversity is like every other leftist idea for achieving equity: a one-way street with no end. White managers are forced to favor non-whites while non-white managers are forced to favor... also non-white. Run the simulation. It doesn't take long before whites become a minority and then a rarity - because there are no checkpoints indicating that equity has been achieved.
Look at college admissions. Universities favored female applicants so heavily that they now outnumber males by almost 2 to 1. Yet there is no call to reverse or even pause the policies that flipped this gender "imbalance".
Another good example: Midwestern states importing Somalians who birth three times as many children as the native white populations. Do people think those extra kids don't metastasize into cultural and political power over time? There's no force pushing back against that foreign demographic outbreeding and inevitably overtaking the locals. In fact, the locals are funding those excess kids with welfare programs. What does that population look like in 50 years? 100? Who voted to have their communities fundamentally altered by foreign invasion?
Run the simulation. It should be the first thing we say regarding any policy decision.
There are, in my experience, two extremes of programming. Pretentious managers and bookwriters come up with terms like agile and waterfall, but I will use my own favored terms here.
Move fast and break things vs cover your ass.
Americans, when they're young and stupid are very much the former, and the older, fatter, and grouchier they get they become the latter.
Hindus never grow out of moving fast, and Chinese seem to be born to C-Y-A.
European programmers however subscribe to fuck it, that'll do. Unless they're German, then they're like was ist localization?
I must say I have already been exposed to these schools of thought through my university projects. Especially the 'fuck it, that'll do' school when deadlines are looming (or group-mates aren't pulling their weight). Glad to know it doesn't change much in industry.
Focus on getting "fuck you" money early in your career so you aren't owned by your bosses.
When a company wants to do something, they will find a way to do it. When your boss tells you "oh I'd love to do that but procedure/HR won't let me", they are lying. These people are masters at manipulating procedure to get what they want (because especially at a large company it's pretty much their job), and they are hiding behind that procedure because they're afraid to tell you they don't want to do what you're asking.
The timing is too much now. Has anyone else noticed that Chinese New Year has just super organically been a huge deal in the US this year and that it coincidentally happened to coincide with an alleged rise in anti-Asian “hate crimes” that were brought to the public’s attention via the sponsorship of prominent Chinese celebrities!? No fucking way this isn’t a coordinated “it’s okay to buy from our suicide factories” PR campaign. I don’t care how crazy it makes me sound.
This almost makes my wife want to jump back into Employment Law litigation again. She could probably make a shit ton of money the next 4 years and then retire at 50. Maybe do some charity work or something. Something she learned this past year is that after two weeks she's board and will have to find something to do with her time....
It's funny that "Thanks Trump" never really became the meme that Obama's was. When COVID hit, I immediately knew they would blame him for it. Just too convenient to be an accident.
Asians need not apply. Whites need not apply. Men need not apply.
This is what awaits us all.
Fuck the left for trying to project their discrimination and blame onto Donald Trump.
No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs.
When I was younger Godley & Creme's "An Englishman in New York" seemed like some surreal nightmare parody of a city. These days, it seems almost quaint.
I told my family this was going to happen when I heard Prop 16 get proposed. Fuck, I hate being right.
The left enacts their plans despite Prop 16 failing in CA.
We know that this is what they always do.
If the people vote differently than what the left wants, they just ignore it and enact their plans anyway.
Asian Americans will probably still vote mainly for Democrats after this treatment.
I am always disappointed by most of my fellow Asian Americans. They are addicted to voting for a party that only harms them.
Don't I know it. The time of Rooftop Koreans and 442nd Japanese Americans is long past isn't it?
Yeah sadly looks like based Asian Americans are an endangered species now.
Wokeism has infected many Asian American communitiee thanks to the screechings of woke Brahmin Indian women and woke Chinese and woke Korean women.
Young Asian American women are generally woke and this has huge consequences for everyone.
Because then when someone sues, they can get the “law” passed through an activist court
In fairness, it should be easy for them to adjust back to the old progressive racialist policies their grandparents were living under.
I can only speak for myself, but when you're used to doing everything yourself, being self sufficient, and working hard for everything, this isn't necessarily the biggest setback.
Agreed, it's explicitly the best policy. Racialist laws are typically enacted to prevent successful people from competing.
That, however, doesn't help if they still get pogrom'd

I know, right? Cali progressives-- echoing gold-rush era racist policy? Wat.gif
But really, everyone who was paying attention understood Prop 16 was about making sure only the "right" races were discriminated against.
That's because Racialism was always Progressive.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by Democrats, Progressives, and former Confederates. Anti-Asian discrimination was maintained through the Progressive Era, and brought to it's peak with the Internment Camps under FDR.
The Progressives never fucking changed.
That faggot is the stereotypical leftist cuck who blames everything on the Donald.
I'll bet he's never even heard of the Trump administration's lawsuits against universities for discriminating against Asian people in admissions.
Don't you remember all those racist rants about 'Orientals' that Trump went on?
Oh, wait, that was the Progressive Era, I'm sorry.

Leftist apology = we will try this shit again after we've redefined enough words to make it stick
Why would they? Racists have no reason to apologize for racism.
I could say some very true and insensitive things about the various behaviors of programmers from around the world, but frankly I don't want to start a thing and everyone who actually does software engineering knows all the cliches anyway.
I'm about to graduate and enter the software business. Anything I should know about?

For project managers, yes, you're correct.

I’m calling bullshit.

Isn't this illegal how are these companies doing this getting away with it
California has a habit of doing whatever the fuck it wants, federal laws, or even the states' own be dammed.
They basically don't back down until someone spends blood, sweat, and treasure to take them all the way up to SCOTUS.
Shitlibs gonna shitlib.
"ps. Trump started this mess" - Random responder.
The fuck are these people smoking?
The new administration literally shut down the lawsuit, brought by Trump, about anti-Asian discrimination.
This almost makes my wife want to jump back into Employment Law litigation again. She could probably make a shit ton of money the next 4 years and then retire at 50. Maybe do some charity work or something. Something she learned this past year is that after two weeks she's board and will have to find something to do with her time....
"Slants to the concentration camps" was the SCOTUS approved policy of the FDR administration.
Everybody just looooved his Democratic Socialism.
Not surprising their starting back up again.
Trump-- he lives in their heads rent free.
GAMERGATE MOVED MY STAIR MUFFIN!
