I do have a career, I am a specialist of (kinda) GIS and data analysis related to hydrology. I'm currently on the path to complete my PhD within the next year. I have been really successful at pitching my programming ideas on non-programming domain. Solve problems for clients, make applications/algorithms that can outperform what they had before. It does sometimes make me feel like I'm a bit too wide on my skillsets related to others in my field, but at least in my immediate circles, I am still as good in the core aspects of my field. But there are so many people that are better specialist than me if I search around.

But now, due to the current climate, and situation in the USA, I have been thinking I might have to move to another country before I finish PhD, and I might not be able to find a job in another country immediately, so I'm thinking of finding some small gigs I could do for some side income.

Thank you, something like this would work well, if they are small tasks that help the main contributor because they don't have the time. I do have experience working on those for free :D

I don't know about the big examples like the one in wiki though

I had upwork account since a long time, last time I tried (was a few years back), it just said "we have a lot of people with your skill, so no" lol

Thank you. I looked into it. I did make a profile, let's see how it goes.

I feel like there should be something like that for sure. But I don't really know how to find it or convince people to hire me for a problem they don't know they have. It's be great if I knew owners personally, but I'm not really outgoing type (who reason I got good with programming lol)

Interesting. I've never had anything serious than updating keyring and removing before reinstalling packages. Pacman hasn't failed me enough to need more than

• error msg is obvious (like keyring), conflicts, fix it
• if not check archlinux.org, follow fix from there,
• new problem I need to search, mostly happens because I haven't learned about it. Like first time I came across keyring problem.

I don't use ios. And I'm not that into my phone customization.

But the main reason I love using computers over phone is this. I don't use chatgpt either, but for things I do use, I can easily add options to run what I want (right click, shortcuts, custom scripts that can read selection/clipboard).

Why don't phones have something like that? Maybe an app you can install that can give you quick way to run small scripts systemwide. And you can just make things.

I only read it when I get error like this to know what I shouldn't do. Is that acceptable? Always checking the news seems superfluous because most times it goes smoothly, and packman will fail and let you know if it can't do something.

After coming here I can't tell how to say g and z differently. Why are they doing this :(

They had perfectly different sounds.

• Killing cancer cells: easy
• Not killing normal cells: hard

Guess who found an easy way to get a PhD.

I mean there's the EWMM, emacs based windows manager. So it can absolutely do anything.

But doing something because you can, vs because it's useful is different. I like emacs fo text edit. I open images and pdf in the process of writing documents but that's about it.

Emacs for everything..

/jk I mean everything text.

Sure but it's lonely at the top. If you rise to the top by backstabbing people, you'll end up exactly how some people right now are, and you keep trying to accumulate more and be great or whatever messing up everything else and being hated.

While a simple life with your loved ones will give you satisfaction. And satisfaction is the key to happiness. Rather satisfaction is the ultimate happiness.

People copying gpt commands into terminal is bound to be fked by the troll commands, right? Please.

Icy water yes. But cold water was available, the whole reason people find cold water refreshing is because running water/spring water etc are cold and more likely to be safe to drink. While stagnant water were more likely to be warm and have more bacteria, making it lot less safe.

I use messenger on Facebook web through. I do have the app as well, but the web works.

On the other hand I think he's lucky. He has enough media coverage and people know him. He is under the watchful eyes of many. Anyone else that was in the exact same situation as him without the media making it a big deal like this, would not have made it back. When someone uses his example, all I can think is, you can't expect people to be lucky as he was.

All my friends that have been to Europe said the racism there is worse than US, because people in US are at least not racist to your face, (or maybe there's more diversity here and people live in bubbles, this could be significant reason that my friends didn't think of; they mostly interact with international people).

Most of the time when I hear and see a country being great about society and such, it seems to be great for their own citizens. Which is understandable. But that means we don't really have much choice of other countries accepting us (I'm brown and have an accent so I can't fit in in Europe).

None. I just install os and use it without any encryption and such. It's more important for me to be able to access data on device failure than encrypt it.

Yeah, international fees are super expensive. As someone that has almost always received free education it scares me a lot. Funnily that's still cheaper than paying US universities.

I'm almost done with my PhD so changing the lab would be more trouble than worth it. If it was allowed I could move and finish PhD remotely in 6-8 months, but I kind of need PhD for immigration points (no work experience in last 5 years). A post doc that pays well would be ideal. But I'm open to industry jobs as well.

Luckily my degree is in the green list for now. I heard they change it based on their demands.
