Is there a link about how to contribute financially to this server?

Been divorced since forever, and with age comes wisdom. I think it would be fantastic if I had a high earning wife. Really..

I half heartedly made a comment, thinking that was the last of it. Imagine my surprise when I have a nightmare later tonight involving bad narratives

People learn to pass tests, and do computer labs. They have hands on experience in several computer languages. But that is a far cry from what is really needed.

Probably most schools give the fundamentals regardless of country.

Can’t tell who has talent until they try to work a lot; often the people who do not code on their own are not very good, period

I think a student should at least do a few hours average work each week on their own projects , regardless of tech stack. It really shows after 4 years.

it’s like night and day between those that do this as a hobby and go to school ; verses the people who pass tests and do group projects in the labs but don’t do anything outside of what is required.

College computer programming programs normally do not train people to immediately work, unless the students spend thousands of hours coding on their own. Most comp sci students avoid this.

So, when a new dev graduates and they did not do that extra work, then the first year of paid work is them putting in those hours while being paid rather than doing it for free

I see this in my own field as patent trolls.

Not ordinary people, and relatively rare per capita; but the population is big enough to have many parasites; or a very proficient few based on what they practice.

My life would be easier professionally if the top ten patent trolls went out of business nationally

That is very frustrating !

What little of it that is

For most people, except sub Saharan Africans, we are also talking about our ancestors when talking about neanderthals. Most of those bones we see on museums are probably the great x grandfathers of many people walking past.

Obviously we have no idea what happened over huge parts of deep human pasts, Neanderthals were a sparse population to begin with, and absorbing their people into the rest of humanity just by fucking is certainly a solution

I’ll try this later.

They can vary even by the same author: I felt burned by the “he who fights with monsters” series whose 1st book is simply awesome in my opinion, but by book 10 has devolved

This seems to be a rare individual who would not have done such except for his own misfortune with his back.

If I learned anything from this, is that most people cannot do any real changes either for health or environment. It has reinforced my cynicism
