 darn. Yeah I know that feel. Currently trying to find a job doing anything
 tech related, because frankly there isn't much else to do in america besides
 tech and service. And service jobs don't involve solving problems, which is
 the only thing I'm good at T.T

 every time I've tried to get a job for someone in the tech industry they
 turned out to be a fed, so...
 
 I do know people that you'd like to talk to, though. Just a few. That's all I
 personally can do.

 if I don't take this job, then I'm going to be homeless.
 
 if I do, then I'll be moving to a different city.
 
 a city that I don't know.
 
 my upbringing tells me that this isn't a choice at all, but... 
 
 at least I have a place to keep my stuff. maybe I can find a different job.

 don't take on more than you can handle. if your plate is full, don't check out
 the notes by the roadside. Doing so tells all the nearby drivers "hey I need a
 job, anyone got anything for me?" which they'll then drop off further along
 the route to your house.
 
 if you just walk on by then nobody will notice as you head home.

 Okay how about this, for starters? Jobs can no longer ask for degrees, instead
 they must rely on certifications. In addition, everyone who has completed a
 degree receives money every month in exchange for their increased value they
 bring to whichever job hires them. This money is sourced from a tax taken on
 businesses in rough proportion to the amount of money they save by paying
 their employees the same amount, no matter their education.

 I don't know about you, but "trying my hardest" involves giving up sometimes.
 
 How else are you to know your limits if you don't test your boundaries? And,
 after finding that there's nowhere else for you to go, you turn around and
 "give up", until you're ready for your next expedition.

 I know you don't want to hear this, but there is a chance that there will come
 a time where your life depends on your ability to debug a computer without the
 internet. To set up an SSH server. To install Linux. To program in C. To do
 something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist
 because network connectivity has been lost, could you remember syntax? Maybe
 it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about
 technology. Maybe it's a good idea to set up on your parents computer, just in
 case you have to hide out there for a couple months. Maybe it's a good idea to
 download wikipedia, just in case.

 Yeah. Like, if you feel so powerless or hopeless that your impulse is to flee,

 You can do whatever you want. That's what it means to be free. You can be

 okay so this might be news to ya'll but I'm technically a human even though I
 wear a witch hat and sometimes speak in rhyme. And humans tend to think about
 things in the context of their current environment. Currently, if I want to
 pay rent or whatever, I need a job. So...

 my issue is that I've never really had project-mates. Every time I try nobody
 will work with me. I applied to like, fifty different jobs, and nobody
 interviewed me! Sheesh, guess they don't want me. FIFTY JOBS. Entry level.
 Beginner programmer.
 
 ah well. I guess they confused someone who would work for 40,000$ per year
 with someone who was 1/3rd as useful as someone who deserved 120,000$ per year.
 
 I'd love to get experience. I'm sure I'd feel significantly differently with
 as much. Perhaps I'd even decide that programming professionally isn't for me,
 which would feel... quite defeating
 
 who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it. Though I will say my time
 in hardware taught me that I'm fragile and can't work too much. Like a scalpel
 that dulls when used consistently, I am a scalpel that gets no practice... Is
 that really useful at all? who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it.
 Though I do like writing logical machines. Laying out data. Picturing
 structures.

 it's not always about minorities, though. sometimes they feel strongly about
 hard work and self-sufficiency or individuality or whatever. I'm telling you
 now: those values are shared by other ideologies as well.
 
 it's okay to prefer to be around people who are similar to you. That is a
 personal choice and it should be allowed. I mean, have you ever heard of a
 convent? a bunch of girls hanging out making out all day and - wait, what's
 that? it wasn't that fun? lotta clerical work and reading about god? alright
 well you get the idea, sometimes it's nice to feel comfort in similarity.
 
 it's okay to believe that people should work hard. It's not an imposition upon
 them to demand more of your peers, especially if you are willing to help them.
 Especially if they are willing and able. It's less alright to force them to.
 Even less so to "encourage" them by taking all of their stuff. Though I will
 say, being homeless isn't as bad as it used to be. Still hurts.

 I don't think anyone should work at a job they hate, no matter what.
 
 They will perform worse. They will harm themselves. They will shackle their
 dreams to a false promise of persistence begot rewards. They will spiral into
 depression, despair, depravity, and addiction.
 
 If you hate your job, fucking QUIT. If you hate every job, fucking RIOT. If
 nobody will hire you, SELL DRUGS.

 then I'll just do that one and maybe this one'll get back to me at the same

 Hi, I'm learning about semaphores right now and trying to explain them to a
 friend. But I only sorta understand how they work - can anyone look at this
 pseudocode and tell me if I'm on the right track?
Some C pseudocode working through the semaphore design pattern. Here's the text of the pseudocode:  /* no lock example */  void start_thread(int* x) {   *x += 1; }  int main() {   int x = 0;   for (1000 times){     start_thread(&x);   }   print(x); }  /* in this case you have no idea what will print because thread A will take x and be like "ah yes it's 423" and then in the next instruction it'll be like "I'll increment this to be 424" and in the next one it'll say "okay now it's time to store 424 in the variable X" but like... there's a thousand threads all doing that at the same time, so odds are you'll have 5 that are like "ah yes this is 423 I'll set it to 424" */  /* not a good plan. Need a lock, so only one thread can use it at once. */ /* mutex example: */  void start_thread(int* x, int* x_mutex) {   *x += 1;   *x_mutex = 0; }  int main() {   int x = 0;   int x_mutex = 0;   for (1000 times){     while (x_mutex != 0){ } /* do nothing */     x_mutex = thread_id;     start_thread(&x, &x_mutex);   }   print(x); }  /* this should print 1000, but it's basically as slow as doing it single threaded. */  #define MAX 10  void start_thread(int* x, int* x_semaphore) {   *x += 1;   *x_semaphore += 1; }  int main() {   int x[MAX];   int x_semaphore = MAX;   for (1000 times) {     for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {       x_semaphore -= 1;       start_thread(&x[i], &x_semaphore);     }     while (x_semaphore != MAX) { } /* do nothing */   }   int value = sum(x, MAX);   print(value); }

 new technology, new tools, new skills.
 
 people must still be valued for their old skills. they chose those skills for
 a reason, and they must be rewarded for their persistent proficient passion.
 
 if the new tools accomplish the same goal, perhaps it's a UI/X problem that
 keeps them from using their old skills.
 
 if the new tools do not accomplish the same goal, then the worker is not truly
 obsolete. They are simply in the wrong job at the wrong time, but that's easy
 enough to fix by simply putting them in the right job. It's always the right
 time somewhere.

 once my country elected a fascist I started thinking. I realized "oh, it's
 always been that way, this one just doesn't hide it" and so I started thinking
 about the bread and circuses they so generously provided me.
 
 I miss video games. Sometimes I play for an hour or two but only when I am
 feeling burnt out.

 oh huh I really don't want to work anymore.
 
 I used to, but they wouldn't let me.
 
 Then they did let me, but I worked too hard and burnt out.
 
 Then I recovered for a while, and asked to work again, and they said no.
 Repeatedly.
 
 I don't think I want to work anymore. It's an abusive relationship. It feels
 demeaning. I'm better than employment.
 
 [rent comes due]
 
 oh no

 Hell yeah. I can't help but wonder if there's a more universal solution on the

 these purpose-built PCBs applied toward historical preservation and
 utilization of forward thinking retro gaming technology fills my heart with
 joy.

 There's certainly a path laid toward an optimistic collapse. Lucky for us, it
 seems to be the one we're on. You can help it along (the optimism part, not
 the collapse part) by being kind to the people around you and developing
 relationships with people of all different ages. The greater the spread, the
 more flexible you can be.
 
 "oh yeah I know a guy who can fix that" 
 
 "uhhh I don't know but let me call so-and-so" 
 
 "yeah sure I can do that, I'm glad [that guy] told you to reach out"
 
 I'm more interested in reality than fiction, honestly. Fiction can help when
 you don't know what's at stake, or you don't know where to go... But I know
 the answer to both of those questions, at least to my satisfaction, so instead
 I feed carrots to squirrels, sing songs in the shower, and smile at every
 person I see in the grocery store.

 In a truly just society, we might use AI to deliver us from certain types of
 menial tasks that have little use.
 
 But we hardly live in a just society, and it's utility value is lost if the
 technology is not built on a bedrock of trust.

 I'm making progress, I can feel it in my bones.
 
 maybe we're just ALL making progress, which is why it feels like I'm moving
 forward.
 
 in any case, I look forward to the future we have a say in, when all things
 are more impactful due to our hearts.

 lucky, but also know that those days are numbered.

 Ha that does sound pretty "fun" - I take it you aren't a pianist?
 
 I smell bad because... reasons... so I am always hyper-aware of myself when
 I'm in situations like that. The idea that I might ruin someone's day by being
 there terrifies me.

 It's a good idea to practice getting places without gmaps, after having
 studied the map at home.
 
 Just incase you need to get somewhere that you don't want to bring your phone
 to.

 best way to stay mentally active is to keep your mind and body thinking.
 
 "but what if you're most active when you're on a downward course?" well then
 you're landing the plane dearieader, ready to refuel and stock up.

 if anyone cares about that particular thing in particular, just know that
 America is a culture and if you live here you're part of it. Like anyone with
 a ticket is a guest at the movie theatre, the staff don't need them.
 
 ... idk where that came from. Wasn't I going to write this into a notepad note?

 my cat doesn't know that my family is my family. She thinks they're just some
 other people who visit the house.
 
 but they're special to me, as all people are, and I think she takes notice.
