Been doing this forever but not for a particular reaso.


I’m doing ok. I was recently promoted from Technical Product Manager to Director of Product Development. I am making well into 6 figures. Not super happy with the relationship I’m in. Girlfriend spending habits are out of control


First thing I would do is download and build. Then find he incr method/interfaces/etc. Then rename all of those to mult and try and rebuild and see if mult works identically to incr. Then start working on modifying incrementing toy multiplying.


Except you can’t on mobile, and people only watch YouTube on mobile


Or newpipe (when it works)


Tbh most adults I meet function at a 12 year old level. Have you ever tried to see an adult do math? I’m talking about adults who aren’t engineers, doctors, etc.


I don't think one's ability to do math is a great indicator of how effective they function in day to day life.


Pretty bold statement to claim most pediatric oncologists are sociopaths. You took a big shit on some of the admirable people in our society


I didn’t claim that. I claimed it must be nightmarish, by which I obviously meant extremely emotionally taxing. Are you saying most pediatric oncologists aren’t emotionally taxed? The only ones who aren’t must, by definition, be sociopaths. Please try to not be offended by a tautology.


As a former drug addict with a DWI felony I often wonder what my life would be like if I hadn’t gotten into tech at a young age and somehow managed to graduate from university. At 200k a year in a medium COL city I can just barely afford a house, car, and girlfriend while adding some money to savings every week. I don’t understand how people can live on 45k a year let alone 30k a year

At these kind of wages you get quite a bit of government assistance: medicaid, social housing, food stamps, all sorts of tax credits, etc.

The US does have a social welfare state. Whether it's "good enough" is something I'll leave up to the reader, and it certainly does seem a confusing hodgepodge of different federal and state programs, but it does exist.

It's the same in much of Europe really; if you earn minimum wage you simply cannot survive without the social welfare programs.


Ugh that sucks


I’m less concerned about privacy and more concerned about a bug in their code causing my microphone to say mute but not mute


When in doubt I go on LinkedIn and find an engineer that works for the company and message them directly.


Does that work? I've sometimes thought about trying it, but never actually done so.
