it's a mix of both.

india is slightly bigger than 1/3 the US's square mileage but has 3 times as many people. even if they had sewage systems and toilets everywhere (and they don't), it would be overflowing with shit non-stop. i can only imagine what kind of hell hole india is.

so yeah, indians are desperately scrambling to get the fuck out of there, and tech jobs in general are a good ticket.

but it doesn't help that a lot of americans are getting degrees in journalism and women's studies and then looking around like deer in the headlights when they find out nobody is hiring for those degrees.

Statisically, Chinese and Indians have been making bad quality code, and it has been a frustration for experienced coders in management when a company tries to outsource. But I believe they also hold the value that maybe there's so much demand for different fields that they are desperately in need of homegrown techs.

Wasn't the STEM program meant to resolve this issue?

>>57597417
the idea that graduates from STEM programs in the US are unequivocally writing *perfect* code is a fallacy. get that idea out of your head and you start dealing with a genuine trade-off of how much you're willing to cut corners on cost to get code out the door.

most companies want to optimize for lines of code, and honestly a lot of projects don't *need* brilliant minds; they just need more brains connected to fingers.

this is the real tragedy; that if americans weren't majoring in bullshit fields so much, and if STEM graduates were willing to take less gilded paychecks (or would get out of their dumb heads this idea of being the next steve jobs or bill gates or mark zuckerburg), then the US could produce all the programmers american companies need.

buy an asus eeepc at $199 rather then buyin a chromebook

I bought a Samsung ARM Chromebook for travelling initally, but ended up using it in a lot of classes.

Its cheap, fast and reliable and for most lectures you just need a pdf open and some word processor. Took my real laptop for programming/networks classes though.

I also didnt take care of this chromebook at all, it is scratched to hell, got wet from rain, but nothing has broken after more than 3 years now.

>Pros
Probably the most stable rolling-release binary-based distro available.
Configurable to infinity and beyond
Huge app library especially if you include the AUR
Hipster Cred

Cons:
You're responsible for fucking everything and people on 4chan call you a faggot.

I think it's a fair tradeoff.

Jesus Christ, what a shit thread.

what does that mean? stop quoting /b/tard shit

It's the IPC and IPC has been very stagnant.

Asked that myself in the past.

Who knows?

Trump has no grasp of technology. Dude doesn't even have a computer in his office.

He did a horrible job of debating Hillary's email issue. It seems the only part of her email scandal he is able to understand is that she deleted 30,000 emails.

I got the JBL 305s just this week. They do sound better than anything I've ever heard before, and the price is really unbeatable.

They do lack solid, really low bass - they still are 5'' speakers - but I guess thats normal for any monitor of this size.

JBL makes a sub (LSR310) for these, might be worth looking at. I'm considering it for listening to music with more low end.

>>57596765

I have pair of HS7 and I like them most. if I was poor I'd def go for LSR308.

I have a couple of LSR305 and an LSR310 paired with a UR22. I'm very happy with my purchase. Music sounds quite nice, much nicer than any of the other speakers in my house.

How are you gonna do the wiring? In europe we have had a light/heating/etc network since the 2000s, so nowadays you can just add an IP gateway and control the whole deal from your phone. One of these with a raspberry Pi was my uni project.

>>57596833
I'm not sure for the security/gardening to be honest i'll try the lights first since they come with a hub that connects to wifi which connects to the pi (thank god 3 comes with WLAN). I'll try out some basic motions sensor set up first so if people get up during the night the lights can be triggered and will turn on. All i want to sort is getting the hues in so i can turn every thing off and have some program switch them off. What did you end up connecting to that program, anhy good?
>light/heating/etc network since the 2000s
Jesus source?

>>57596948
Its called KNX, sometimes EIB/KNX. It's basically a communications network for microprocessors running inside actors etc. Its wired though.

There are wireless alternatives, the most common one here being EnOcean.

I have also made a framework for arduinos and ESP8266 based devices that, equipped with actuators and sensors create a wireless network of switches, sensors, lights, motors. But I need to provide electricity for everything, thats why Im asking.

What games do you want to play?

>>57596738
L4D2, Overwatch, CS:GO, Battlefield 1, etc.
Usually FPS games.

now that the price is kinda stable, the rx 480 is bretty good.

paid a bit more than msrp, but its been good. mostly playing bf1 and fine for that
