Wrongthink··on Massacring C Pointers
My mid tier university has a fundamental problem where the lecturers aren't even hired to teach, they're hired for research. And since the university can't get enough American grad students to stay and be research slaves they bring in grad students from the third world. Then these grad students are required by law to teach a certain number of credit hours to conduct research and there you go. The result is every general class is poorly taught by people who can barely speak English and don't care about teaching so you end up teaching yourself or failing.

CS courses generally don't have this issue but they do have a large amount of mediocre professors. Reason being anyone talented in CS can make 2-3x the salary out in the real world and so CS grads rarely stick around to teach.

The saying "those who can't do, teach." is as relevant as ever.

Wrongthink··on Microsoft Employees Protest Work with ICE
The media is really pushing this child parent separation thing hard. This is nothing new. You commit a crime, you get separated from your child when you're arrested. Every crime is this way citizen or not, the child does not go to jail with the parent.

But that is not what they want. They want the parent to be freed under the guise of the child's rights. There is no sugar coating it, this is a desparate attempt to curb immigration enforcement because the far left is desparate to grow their voting base. They have to import voters from the third world because their agenda is becoming so extreme they are alienating their own native voters.

Really sad that politics is being peddled on this website, thinly veiled behind vaguely tech-related discussion. If I want my leftwing political propaganda I'll read reddit thank you very much.
