I completely agree, my general problem with the entire thing is really that the US has hinged its entire middle class’ life quality on the dream of owning a home. And its quickly fading for literally anyone outside the top 15%.

Rare politically charged post Rudy Nutstink.

Where is race rage on the demographics of home buyers in 2023? The singular US policy to help middle class families save is investing in a home. Everything else is fairly out of reach and risky. And they have made that savings vehicle so unaffordable they are effectively cutting people who are black and hispanic out of this one hope of storing value. The wealth disparity among races will not shrink, and will in fact grow because of this. And the government will not shoulder the blame for this horrendous policy when all is said and done.

Unfortunately this makes sense. From an Information Security standpoint, it is EXTREMELY common to have candidates apply that are completely self taught and have been brainwashed by the InfoSec certification industry to believe if they buy the course and get their cert, they get a job. They have absolutely zero practical experience with networking or enterprise environments in general. It’s very disheartening to see the influx of these types of certification companies advertising to individuals how prestigious passing their course will made them when it’s just not true at all.

20 years cut back, man. Twenty years of seeking validation and rather burying myself for being always too extra. I'm dead sure my overeating and anxiety attacks are from this. I can't stop laughing when I'm on the stage for whatever purpose, I'm so freaking happy somebody is waiting for me to show all I got.

this is why i favour #golang

you can sketch out the architecture right there in the project

i don't know WHY THE FUCK anyone uses VI or it's bastard children anymore, it was designed for computers that didn't even have arrow keys

I put in an ad as a singer. I got angry with myself for still waiting for someone to notice me or get better or get enough friends or get prettier or otherwise validated.

I tossed in a recording I did at home on a spot a year ago, when I merely started searching my own voice. It sucks, but hey, it's still something!

So far I've been contacted by 80's covers band playing on city stages and parties, by a guy who seeks a partner to sing with in small events like in art museums or coffee shops and one wants me to do choirs for his recordings. I absolutely love all three offers and hope to land at least one solid project with live singing to get strong and experienced.

Idk who needs to hear this, but

FUCK IT AND DO IT, WHATEVER IT IS. You might be pleasantly surprised and if not, you'll at least know for sure.

Also fuck school, our hobbies and interests need no validation from our teachers.

Been building a utxo fee estimator, with the goal of highlighting utxos that may be in danger of becoming unspendable in a given fee rate environment. The app takes a wallet descriptor and estimates fees for single utxo txs and allows the ability to get an estimate if a tx were to use multiple utxos. Could always use some design help as it is clearly not my strong suit.

That is very fair. Papers can end up anywhere 😅

What software do you usually use?

I feel like I have more freedom on paper. Also I like writing with my fountain pens 😅

I've used diagramming software and such before and it's just not the same.

I've never been one of those developers who can just jump into vim and start writing. Half my time is actually just spent designing on paper, breaking down the system until I have unit testable functions.
