Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

You mean Genji

Hes cool, his gloves let you hit 4 times per attack round

Considering the demographics of programmers its a 95% chance the developer was a white male.

Microsoft isnt a monopoly.

Supposely its dominant in domestic OS, and overall suite of solution, but it has competitiors in mostly all the range of their products.

OS: you can use iOS or Linux derived systems
Cloud: Azure probably is behind AWS. Google is another strong competitor.
AI: Same as above. Facebook is behind but its running also.
All the other solutions are just subpar to other specialized products.

I personally see Microsoft as "jack of all trades" platform. Regarding Windows, you use Windows because you dont have the money to buy Apple, and dont want to undertake the learning curve of Linux based systems

And nerd

Send him to the Gulag too then
Idc if hes a white male

Oh god....... infested liches/sisters of parvos

I wasn't expecting to do battle against backstreet boys in a video game but I guess here we are.

who u going to date bro

100% on the nerd part.

Allow me to explain my post. The anti DEI BS is really saying that the best person for the job is ALWAYS a white male so why look elsewhere.

Well, I thought the combo Sazh and Ligthning was bad, but the combo Sazh and Vanille is... unconfortable...

That scene where the chocobo baby pops to prevent Sazh to take a peak under Vanilles skirt was totally utterly unnecessary.

To not sound like Im picking on Sazh, Sazh and Snow and Sazh and Hope sounded nice.

Shiva sisters becoming Snow's motorbike alsa was painfully cringe.

Reminded me the 2000's old Fox Kids cartoon where they used to bring some transformers kind of animation. It got badly dated. I dont want to ride my summon as a bike.

Likely that happened a day after Microsoft fired its entire DEI team.

I dont think that at all, but nice projection there.


There is one checkbox I care about when it comes to hiring people: BPA - Best Person Available

I give zero *** if they are white black trans gay asian male female alien muslim furry etc etc. BPA is all that matters. DEI initiatives where companies openly state "were only hiring people of marginalized communities because diversity is our strength" is literally begging for people start asking questions when things go wrong.

DEI is so cancerous lately, so many of us are mixed these days, its all a joke.

Speaking of

Hows AC: Shadows lookin these days? lol

The reason why windows OS is dominating is because it is a platform. Customers generally prefer 1 platform for everything because it makes their life easy.

You can use Linux if you like. But overwhelming amount of software won't work. In fact many software also don't have mac version. This makes windows the best OS if you want to use every software that you have.

Many software developer aren't going to develop multiple software versions for different OS. It costs more money and time to maintain and test for all the OS. It is cheaper and easier to have one OS that everybody uses and release software for that OS only.


Please don't make people's life harder by requesting multiple OS competing with windows lol. Imagine there are 3 mainstream OS in the market and one software that you want only works in one OS that you don't have. PITA.

7 hour mmi exam now i slept for 10 hours yesterday woke up 9 pm now its 7 am hopefully i dont get sleepy in the middle of it

This Evo 3rd Strike finals with Justin Wong on the commentary is fire

I will have to watch it after mmi exam

Good morning you who are a guy in the internet.

Also good morning you who are a girl in the internet.

You maybe be 1% in population in the FFXI game, but rest assured, youra 99% of the time in the nerd guy's heart.

Thats what that guy wants. He wants 3 different OS so he can complain 3 times more.

But if there are 5 OSs, then he could complain 5x times more.

Thats the obscure reason behind his demand

As I am sure you know, a lot of people disagree with this premise from the outset. And will reject this as forced DEI.

I'm all for helping better the lives of the underprivileged, but I'm not sure if relying chiefly on demographics for hiring while mostly disregarding individual merits (and making it law) is truly creating a better environment for everyone, especially in capitalistic societies.

This is assuming that the hiring process didn't already evaluate the candidates for merit before deciding on the candidates they accepted. When your applicant pool is 80% white males, and 20% broken down between each other race/gender combination, you're talking about race/gender combinations with representation of 1-2% or less. There is a very real possibility that a smaller sample like that has less outliars(and if you have hundreds of candidates to choose from, you want the upper end outliars).

Hitting some target ratio doesn't give you a higher chance, using a greater degree of objective criteria to evaluate the best candidate does. And, if you want to credit 'math', try running a few simulations that randomly distribute merit values. In a situation where you are hiring 10 out of 1000, 10 out of 100, etc.. you'll find that the simulation very rarely distributes merit perfectly evenly.. probability doesn't work that way.

Finally, the assumption that merit is just evenly distributed across races in the first place is entirely unsupported. There are perfectly valid arguments to be made against the data supporting racial IQ differences, so let's not go there. But, you still have differences in average living conditions between races. You have differences in minimum score required to get into a college or program in the first place, due to the same representation arguments. You have measurably different hormone balances, which alter behavior in subtle ways we can't fully evaluate. Unfortunately, you have some applied eugenics from eras of slavery. The argument that all of these conflating factors perfectly balance out to create an exact equilibrium is absurd. Every race/gender combination has a wide variety of people with a wide variety of capabilities, but when you narrow it down to one geographic location and one high-skill profession, you don't necessarily represent that.

Pulling your pool of applicants from 100% of the population is going to give you the highest chance of hiring the best possible candidate. Considering every candidate on their merits, regardless of race is undeniably the best path. Your earlier post was not talking about applicant pools, you specifically mentioned internal percentages. When you try to match internal percentages to demographics, you are potentially hiring based on racial discrimination.. because it requires looking at race when considering who to hire.
