My favourite sci-fi game of all time is Elite. Because I am old.

You’re absolutely right, and I noticed it as well, but I already had some upvotes. Also, I’m a lazy fuck and didn’t want to do another one.

People like to use it for AI, data science, machine learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, …) and even scientific stuff (SciPy, SymPy, AstroPy). So it seems to be the right tool for some jobs, which is all that matters. Your job may be something entirely different and that’s absolutely fine.

(And no, I don’t use Python either.)

Just for the record, look for Luciano Monosilio on Youtube and how he makes carbonara.

Mow?

… or even Symfony.

This is a Deutschland. It’s a Land that deutschs.

I live in Berlin. I can go shopping for groceries, head back home, cook a meal using those groceries and eat within one hour of home office lunch break.

If these people have their way, the USA will become a religious autocracy that respects human rights on a level comparable to that in Iran.

They’re not resisting because they profit from the regime. Same happened in Germany back then - industrialists were in favor of Hitler all the time because it meant no trade unions and a shitload of business from the state.

48 year old German here. My grandparents were born in the 1920s. Here’s what they told me about Hitler’s regime.

In the 1920s, life in Germany was pleasant, so the Nazis didn’t get all the support they needed because their fearmongering didn’t work very well.

Then, the Black Friday crisis hit Germany hard. Harder than any other European nation. Huge unemployment, a lot of discontent and desperate people. The Nazis used that to their full advantage - many people fell for them, but still not the majority of Germans.

So my grandparents still didn’t take them that seriously. Even those Germans who knew what the Nazis had planned couldn’t believe they would really do it. Try imagining living in 1932. If someone told you about WWII and 6 million dead in concentration camps, would you really have been able to take that seriously?

Then, suddenly, Hitler came to power. Still, not the majority of people supported him - but it took mere weeks to take away all their civic rights, their right to protest, their right not to be detained without due process, their right not to be surveilled, their right to live in a home the police can’t raid without reason. It all happened too quickly.

So they all became afraid - VERY afraid. And too many of them minded their own business, after all, if they were law abiding citizens, what did they have to fear, they thought.

The famous quote by Martin Niemöller illustrates it:

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

The bottom line is this - at no time during the entire Nazi regime were there enough people in Germany who could and would put up the resistance necessary to stop the Nazis. But there were always lots of people opposed to them, but intimidated into being silent.

Nothing. But that kid used it inside a coworking space.

I’m an old fuck and I started to code in the late 80s. Fast forward 30 years, I once had to work at a WeWork. One day, directly outside of my small office space, I swear to god, a fucking hipster kid with a Macbook under his arm practiced skateboard moves. That was the exact moment I started hating working in IT. It’s also what I think every Javascript coder looks and acts like.

I would probably buy a really nice Pechauer pool cue. Or another premium brand as quality equipment is pretty important for pool players.

Not only condiment. You can make great dishes using it. Decades ago when I was a poor student, I made a kind of bolognese with it cause I didn’t have anything else in my fridge, and it turned out so great that I still sometimes make that to this day.

I’ve started working in IT over 20 years ago. In my humble opinion, one of the keys is being specialized on something that not everyone else can do. Become proficient in a certain area - devops, quality assurance, security, whatever.

On top of that, try and acquire a niche skill that makes you the type of employee that’s hard to find and replace. For example, banks are really desperate to find Cobol experts because most of those are pensioners now.

I know it’s tough, and I wish you had it as easy as I did back in the days, but it’s all I can tell you, unfortunately.
