Heaven forfend that someone should go to school and learn enough to qualify for those jobs
Really? Jobs heavy in science and math have less blacks and this is due to RACISM? Barking up the wrong tree here. Or maybe not. Urban classrooms are more about love of tribe and diversity than science and math.
I’ve done a fair amount of professional coding. I’ve never seen code where you could tell the race or gender of the coder - it either works or it doesn’t.
It just takes a dumptruck load of hard work.
Why can’t we talk about IQ?

in software and mathematics, a lack of understanding is painfully obvious to experienced devs
it takes many thousands of hours to become mid level (ie: good enough to charge)
it has absolutely nothing to do with race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or any of that crap. it’s personal. it boils down to whether or not you have the patience and discipline
I started writing software when I was 11. through high school I wasn’t doing drugs or hanging around wasting time while trying to look ‘cool’.
few have the drive to advance in the field
If the triggering statement of a BEFORE statement trigger is an UPDATE or DELETE statement that conflicts with an UPDATE statement that is running, then the database does a transparent ROLLBACK to SAVEPOINT and restarts the triggering statement. The database can do this many times before the triggering statement completes successfully. Each time the database restarts the triggering statement, the trigger fires. The ROLLBACK to SAVEPOINT does not undo changes to package variables that the trigger references. To detect this situation, include a counter variable in the package.
Ouch!
What? If that is a real sentence of instruction, then I feel as dazed and confused as Madam Shrek here. That sentence was never meant to be diagrammed, IMO.
But . . . . But . . . . We was told dat dat Bell Curve books was nots tru an is raceist besides. An it aint kools to be acting likes whitey and learnings stuff in school.
The doors haven’t been closed to blacks. They’ve been closed to people like me who barely know how to turn a computer on.
“Where Are The Black Internet Workers?”
Step 1 - pull up your pants
Step 2 - learn how to talk
Step 3 - learn math
Step 4 - learn how to program
Step 5 - show up to work on time and put in long hours
The numbers are exactly where they should be. They reflect reality.
The people are not where they should be to affect the numbers. When your people are ready for the jobs, they will reflect in the numbers - and it's not Google's job (or ours) to make them ready. That's up to them.
Are you speaking in cursive?
I don't know how many people here can understand data base terminology (DBase II here)) but they don't have to be coders to understand juxtaposition... That was brilliant!! I am still smiling. Am I bad?
The problem is you cannot apply AA to the Internet because it has to WORK after you've done tech stuff on things. The average entitlement black can use the technology, but does not understand it. They're like the native cargo cults of the Pacific Islands that still are trying to attract all those airplanes and ships that brought mountains of stuff to their islands in World War 2.

; build: nasm -f elf -F stabs name.asm

; In 64-bit long mode you can use 64-bit registers (e.g. rax instead of eax, rbx instead of ebx, etc..)
; Also change "-f elf " for "-f elf64" in build command.

section .data ; section for initialized data
str: db 'Hello world!', 0Ah ; message string with new-line char at the end (10 decimal)
str_len: equ $ - str ; calcs length of string (bytes) by subtracting this' address ($ symbol)

section .text ; this is the code section

_start: ; procedure start
mov eax, 4 ; specify the sys_write function code (from OS vector table)
mov ebx, 1 ; specify file descriptor stdout -in linux, everything's treated as a file,
; even hardware devices
mov ecx, str ; move start _address_ of string message to ecx register
mov edx, str_len ; move length of message (in bytes)
int 80h ; tell kernel to perform the system call we just set up -

mov eax, 1 ; specify sys_exit function code (from OS vector table)
mov ebx, 0 ; specify return code for OS (0 = everything's fine)
int 80h ; tell kernel to perform system call
Yup, its real. Lots of technical documentation is written just like that for the techies that consume it. There’s no way to write it much simpler in many cases.
Agreed. That's crappy documentation for what is probably a crappy system. Oracle sucks.
I would recommend Ms Jeantel start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID
