Many people (myself included) would argue that CS:GO is worse than 1.6 or source. CS has always had competitive support by nature of being able to host your own servers.

Manufacturing is more open to a broader set of candidates than IT. Want to point out the part where I say mfg has a monopoly on on the job training?

by rfrank 10y ago
Definitely, the on-the-job training aspect of a manufacturing job is huge, and there's just so much knowledge that's hard to pass on in a set of standards and best practices. Agreed on all points about skill development & cont

Manufacturing also provides jobs for both high and low skill workers. As such can be seen as more valuable to a community than say, a software company that only hires engineers and a CS center in a different state. Manufacturing was one of

Yeah, when I was doing library stuff I used Mentor Expedition which has all kinds of stuff for speeding up footprint creation. Symbols can be time consuming for the various XXGAs because some of our customers have fairly... elaborate standa

Yeah, for the most part library stuff is quick. Some tools let you pattern place the pins and plop them all down at once. High pin count parts like FPGAs and connectors with weird footprints are the big time sinks.

It definitely contributes to the resentment that a lot of people feel towards tech employees. Especially when you consider that the multi-hop public transit trip like that probably costs him 20-30% of his daily pay. Contrast that with: htt

Simple questions like "would I find this argument acceptable if the outcomes were reversed" are important to consider, especially for a subject like ignoring/reversing the outcomes of democratic elections. If that sort of sem

Why does the status quo matter? Would a 51% remain vote be more valid than a 55% leave vote, simply based on whether or not it preserves the status quo?
