Mini PC seemed to be the term that was being settled on, though I do see mini computer used where I'd expect to see nano computer as well. This is the first time I've seen anyone in tech use the term mini computer instead of nano, however.
Perhaps they're not teaching the under 40s what a mini computer is.
Tecnically, the IBMi seems to be the last survivor of the mini computer segment. Is HPE still selling Itanic boxes with VMS that could be called the heirs to the VAX family?
You should add thalidomide to your list of "end users being test subjects gone horribly wrong" list, especially with the FDA being mucked around with these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide_scandal
I've been unemployed for months. In the last couple of weeks, I've been rejected for jobs as a pool cleaner, shelf stocker, and a state job requiring me to check multiple email accounts and watch security cameras. I've also recently been rejected as an overnight courier and software tester.
Whatever you imagine the job market to be like, I assure you it's worse.
Shelf stacking requires psychometric tests, another online test, a group assessment, individual assessment then 3 hours of free labour on the shop floor for another assessment! What world are we living in
Every city in the US has illegal aliens, but how many ICE raids are making the news in places like St. Louis, or New Orleans, or Houston - no, they aren't sending ICE to red states like they are to California, they are focusing on Los Angeles for the purpose of fomenting unrest so they can enact martial law. That wouldn't be so cool for their supporters if red states had riots, but their supporters love seeing liberal California with a boot on its neck.
Not that I totally disagree with your statement but one part....
I live in a very red state (North Idaho). They don't need to send ICE here. The sheriffs are all cooperating and lending county facilities to hold immigrants. It is safe to say the entire sheriffs department is basically a branch of ICE at this point.
They have been targeting I-90 and US-95 heavily and running plates on every car along with a helicopter that basically just goes back and forth all day.
There is very little immigrant presence here (illegal or otherwise) but they have been catching work crews at random (usually under the premise of suspicious vehicle/behavior).
Spokane has been having CBP and ICE raids as well. Quite a few make the local news. Just doesn't get the attention like the larger cities do. Quite a bit of roundups going on out by Yakima and Tri-Cities, WA too. Which is part of why they are using county jails to hold people.
I'll never understand why they put the jobs on land surrounded by a moat on three sides. I had a supervisor 10 years ago who had a then-new 2 bedroom apartment in Mission Bay with her husband and child for $4900/mo. That's great if you're earning engineering manager money and your spouse is _also_ an engineer, but for those of us with children less than $200K household income, it's unaffordable.
What I want to hear about is startups surrounded on all 4 sides by affordable housing and decent public transit dropping you off within two blocks of work. Waking up in the morning and getting on that screeching BART train sucked away my will to put in 100% every day.
Perhaps they're not teaching the under 40s what a mini computer is.
