The kind of skills and thinking you get as a programmer are certainly useful in other places.

>he's so mad that he's stuck working construction that he has wet dreams about society collapsing so he can actually be useful
imagine being this retarded

Is that Hank Hill getting his dick sucked in the last panel?

This is not how sun flares work

Not even this, just electronics with current running through them would be fubar.

Such as the entire electrical grid. The biggest problem is that as the electrical grid shuts down, food distribution will plummet to roughly 30% for just a few weeks, as the distribution organisation system is electronic. Once booted it's too late. the price of food skyrockets. The people that can afford food buy lots of it to stockpile, driving the price up, while the people that can't afford it (the majority) starve.

I'm a developer and part of me kinda wishes this happened. It's an abstract override kind of feel.

The only real life threatening problem (besides the rioting and looting) would be how we maintain clean water infrastructure without modern means of communication. Would be a logistical nightmare, we could only hope that some old heads from the old paper file days are still around.

> What are ECU's

Electromagnetic pulses generate current within the devices, which is what causes the damage, powered up or not.

Its fucking disgusting that fleshwastes like you see yourself fit to be on a technology board. Happily, you inept faggots will be among the first to die when the bombs start dropping.

>emp generates current within the devices
True
>which is what causes the damage
To devices that already have current, and cant handle more. Unless you think that a solar flare is a point blank emp.

Fucking mongoloid.

>solar flares makes electricity never work again
Yes, this is exactly how it works. Don't become programmers.

> a solar flare that is capable of inducing enough current to rape a multi KV/KA electrical grid, with all of its overcurrent protections, is not capable of inducing enough current to rape a bunch of tightly packed transistors.

Were you born retarded or did you parents fail at suffocating you?

You are wrong.
Anything conductive picks up the em waves. Yes, a solar flare is basically an emp. What do you think shuts down electrical devices, fairies and unicorns?
If it's conductive then it has the ability to act like an antenna and pick up emr. A solar flare radiates a lot of emr. If it is strong enough it will fry electrical devices

And how many of them do you think are still on the road shitlord? Especially in the US with all that cash for clunkers bullshit they pulled.

These. If a grid can be ruined by an electromagnetic storm, how the fuck do you think silicone is going to hold up?

This would actually be interesting, it would let me test my Eagle Scout shit to the fullest. Maybe even molest some little boys, Scout Master would be so proud.

You should take images "spirit" of the argument aka, electricity gone. Maybe physically impossible but still.

Problem solvers in general.

Being a programmer is all about being able to learn new skills all the time, constantly adapting to new technology, and finding new solutions of your own.

Meanwhile normies took years to learn just one skill and are incapable of learning something new later in life.
That's why they all become unemployed when industry X collapses even though industry Y is screaming for employees to hire.

will it happen in our life time?

engineers, yes. programmers are not engineers

The government would literally throw enough money at the problem to stand enough internet infrastructure back up that we would be back at early 2000s levels within a year.

Imagine being so fucking brain dead you bank on society crumbling to be useful

Losing communication infrastructure nation wide would be a doozy. You can convert cars to work w/o ecus with enough effort.

Keeping transportation of goods and food will be critical. But even then millions of people will die in first world countries. If you live in less insdutrialized countryes that rely less on modern technology a lot won't change.

Uhh, yes. We have these things called books. They document literally everything. We still have engineers who invented some of the earliest microprocessors. It wouldn't be trivial but we'd at least get to mid 2000s levels of tech quickly.

I'm pretty sure critical military equipment
Can survive emp at least from nuclear bombs. You know the ones hidden in top secret bunkers.

You also have to remember that fiber optic lines would be perfectly usable as always. You just need new switches.

A lot of shielded microprocessors would survive. They'd be likely old as shit ones but they would most definitely survive. It's not like we're launching rocks into space, a ton of countries would have tons of shielded computer equipment intended for satellites and other space ventures.

Just use shit not affected by it.

as if anything needs to be "refuted", this is a shit thread and your understanding of english is poor

anyway there shouldn't be any distinction between programmers and technicians anyway, there only is because white collar people are faggots

for a board filled with marxists, you people sure hate the lower class, aka people who actually work.

>accuses other people of being marxists
>thinks work is inherently valuable in of itself (aka labor theory of value)
what a tard

The grid as the lines are still there which takes the longest to build. Just repair/replace the transformer stations and electrical power plants and you are back on track

Yup, it would just be about repairing the power plants/power stations and resupplying people with electronics

stay afraid office cuck

Nothing is inherently valuable in terms of money. The market sets all value where time for work done is essentially valued all the time

I don't think I've ever typed the word "flare" until that post, so sorry.

holy shit when will this stupid accountant fucker fuck off back to facebook

Solar flares are a stream of energy that lasts from 12 hours to 10 days.

In case this happens, can't we build electronics and software from scratch?

First off, silicone is a type of rubber. Silicon is what processors are made of.

A solar flare would literally do nothing except cause power outage for a day or so. Current detection systems in the grid would automatically disconnect everything to avoid damage and they'd reconnect it once the flare was done. And no, your electronics don't even notice an electric field that varies over hundreds of miles. A flare is not an EMP.

>An EMP has a smaller effect the shorter the length of an electrical conductor; though other factors affect the vulnerability of electronics as well, so no cutoff length determines whether some piece of equipment will survive. However, small electronic devices, such as wristwatches and cell phones, would most likely withstand an EMP.

>An EMP would probably not affect most cars, despite modern cars' heavy use of electronics, because cars' electronic circuits and cabling are likely too short to be affected. In addition, cars' metallic frames provide some protection. However, even a small percentage of cars breaking down due to an electronic malfunction would cause temporary traffic jams.[38]

Good thing a solar flare is even less concentrated than an emp.

My focus is programming but that doesn't mean that's the only thing i'm good at.
