I was in a meeting with a senior software engineer, who makes a shit ton more than me. While sharing my screen he saw flame graph I had for one program I was working on. They asked "what is that?", I was taken back, and said it's for looking at which functions are taking more time. Then I was asked "where did you find it?" I was shell shocked, didn't know how to answer that. Similar things have happened before where I taught them certain things, and they go "great find", like dude, I didn't find it just now. That's basic knowledge if you work with database.

I am not even a developer hire, I'm self learned, and because the company doesn't have many developers they gave me some of the tasks and I'm doing it because it's more fun than my job responsibilities, and when I don't have enough tasks.

That's how our brain works. We don't remember every detail from our walks either. Repeated actions get less cognitive power. I hate driving, but if it's going smoothly sometimes I get thus, but when the traffic is bad, people are changing lanes a lot and you have to accelerate and break frequently, then you need to be actively present.

Where are you based? Are you hiring? And what's the income?

Nissan Sentra cost us 27k including the tax and interests. The marked price was 21k. That was 3 years ago. Made us feel very poor because we couldn't just pay for it, and had to pay more overall for not having that money outright. We didn't have any other debts.

So I don't think people with other debts can afford a car outright either, so end up paying more. Rich people can avoid all that. Or they can take that loan, make more money from the money they already have (higher returns than loan interest rate), and avoid taxes on loan money, and get richer

Lol, my company has daily, there's no way I can remember without writing it down. But hey, it'll be invalid the next day so it's all good

There's that authenticator for mfa too, so they know lol

There're multiple layers, I don't wanna give too much details lol. But basically things like, assigned computer, office network, phone or physical multifactor keys, etc.

I'm ok with everything except the generated password because it's a hassle.

You don't get to choose it though, that's why there's no way in hell I'll remember. Unless it happened to be easy that day and I used it multiple times

"It squeaks"

Translation: It makes noises like an animal at distress or about to die when you are tearing into it.

The reality where people cannot afford $10-20 things. And the corporations just start charging those poor people interest.

So why are mothers expected to just figure things out on their own? We humans have women living way past fertile age because they were important for children, and suddenly we decided we don't need grandma's help passing along generational knowledge and helping first time mothers. Grandma/Grandpa are supposed to be free and focus on helping the parents so they learn and don't make mistakes because they don't know anything.

And community too. It's so isolated. Makes me sad, and afraid to have children.

Guess who found an easy way to get a PhD.

I don't want to drive, give me walkable cities and public transportation

I'm a rust developer, do I need to transition?

So anyone has a good suggestion for countries that accept people with PhDs are are nice to different race of people (I have a mixed family). Lots of countries are starting to lean right so I'm a bit scared moving somewhere where I don't understand the native language since I saw how immigrants in US (and even people in their home country) like trump because they don't get the whole picture and only know news through multiple transfers and biases.

Even if the current administration goes back to what it was I feel like the attack on science and overall direction of the people's thoughts aren't going to change overnight and it might be hard living as a scientist.

We're not fighting them because they're rich, we're fighting the boomer class because they keep giving the billionaires power because they think we're lazy and billionaires worked hard for their money

People knew. Then everything started being "i need people to work in my factory/office doing the same thing again and again" and everyone had to be the same.

Edit: Think of all the advancement in science from people that were not "normal", now they'd have just failed basic school and never had any chances to do academia. I think Einstein failed history and other subjects in a college entrance but excelled in physics and math.

This is one my comment talking point. When people have to think about "can I afford this?" anytime they need to goto the doctor, then they'll only go when it's serious. But they are not qualified medical professionals to decide what needs medical attention or not. So they seek advice from other people, past experiences and Internet and we have this problem.

Honestly, it shouldn't cost that much to just goto a doctor's office and return. We don't need MD for everything, have other professional people there that are qualified enough to tell you when something doesn't need attention, or simple solutions. Maybe just cleaning a scrap, or giving you a brace for minor sprain, all those without having to see MD.

I witnessed an interaction where a grad school professor used AI detector and threatened to fail a student for submitting "AI generated" paper. It was so stupid, even after showing them how if you just add a few spelling mistakes the detection says human written, or even putting their own email in AI detector to show an example. It's like the saying "little knowledge is dangerous"

Then you start saying you can't complete things, ask them which one is the priority. And actually not do everything.
