>oy vey don't cut off the tap to our H1B workers
WW3 comes once the west disintegrates into tribalism due to the fact it flooded itself with incompatible immigrant populations in unmanageable numbers thanks to people like Elon who have no appreciation of social cohesion. Utopian obsessions with singularity miss the fact that half the world's population and growing aren't online and won't ever be. They have no desire to progress socially or technologically. They want resources the old fashioned way and when they are numerous enough, they will have them.

Mozilla finally realized their mobile OS was never going to happen, and stopped putting most of their resources into it. Then somebody there said "Oh shit, we have browser!" And they've been "fixing it" ever since.

Copying my chromium profile from my backup location(which i was running it on while i was restoring data) no longer works.It presents this error message.I checked for any lock files in the profile, and there are none.However if i point via command line to my backup profile, it works as expected.How do i restore my profile? There are no zombie or background chromium processes.Failed to create a ProcessSinzgleton for your profile directory. This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile corruption.

You're not alone.
Is the Computer Science Degree a meme or is being self taught a meme?
You need a combination of both. You need to be interested enough in the field to spend your free time dabbling in it, coding new things, creating projects, teaching yourself new things.
But you also need a piece of paper that says you have a degree in it. If you ONLY self-teach, you don't have a degree = no good job opportunities. If you only go to class, do the required assignments and then spend the rest of the time jacking off, that doesn't do shit either.
>>62251318
Literally this, consider what they teach you in university as a guide for where to start when you are studying on your own (as in your free time).
>>62251318
What if you had done projects in your spare time that CS grads would do. Would businesses really still pick someone with the degree anyway?
