Bioinformatics isn’t used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don’t have.

You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.

In addition to other comments,read about Ada Lovelace. She was brilliant, she wrote the first program, and done so before we had computers!

You can easily load PDFs into kobo readers, at-least into mine. However, most PDFs will be unreadable. To reads PDFs properly on a e-reader you need a screen that is at-least as big as their render size. Meaning, that if the PDF was built for A4, your experience will be, in most cases, lacking on any screen smaller than A4.

I have no experience using such big eink and can’t comment on their quality.

Bought a math book from them, they refunded it with no questions, after I read a lot of it, because some of the equations were unreadable.

Move where? I can move to a cheaper country, buy a house and push a local down the economical ladder. Or stay and stay in contact with people I love.

I cannot buy healthy, tasty, food. I can work less hours, buy ingredients in the marker and make that food.

I will never be able to buy a house, never. Even saving over half my income by living in shit neighborhoods. The cost of houses goes up too fast. Even after investing, and getting good returns, on the little I managed to save, it is not enough.

So working a little less, and having healthy food it is.

After understanding the ongoing ecological collapse, I don’t care much about a house anymore, rich or poor, we are all dead in less than 10 years anyway.

If you can, work less, play more. And I actually love what I do at work, but fuck that scam.

I did not know you could do that! My trick was to connect while parents were hussy, then distracting them from the phone the whole evening.

We had hopes for the future and internet connections made sounds.

Ubuntu is really buggy. Including bug reports that has a simple fix and stay open for years.

Just look how they handled Graphviz

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/graphviz/+bug/1409280

They somehow manage to break packages that just work everywhere else.

On top of that they add shity homemade solutions such as snap cus they have to reinvent the wheel. They than discard them a few years later and use proper solution created by more capable people (upstart lol).

NixOS or Debian. Don’t install Ubuntu or Arch on your work computer.

Shouting near someone may cause damage to the hears. Don’t do that. Capital letters let me understand you are emotional, but cause no earing loss.

Sir, email is text based communication, no yelling was involved.

Mistakes in the Linux kernel can cause damages that are measured in millions and even get people killed.

If you can’t be bothered to focus on your work and get criticism when you fuck up, work on something else.

Linus’ message here isn’t personal, his criticism is limited to the product created by the person. Something that any mentally healthy adult should have no problem with.

What’s the effect of having rust in the kernel?

Like other programming languages there are no general answers. Im currently doing Bioinformatics, learning Rust was the easiest part.

One of my friends is doing DevOps in Rust within the crypto world. I don’t even know half the words he is using to describe his work.
