Day 8 in isolation.
Im lonely..
My brother calls me.
I haven’t talked to my brother in a long time.
He believes that capitalism is the answer to everything.
It sucks to be lonely in my tiny little apartment so I actually Skyped with him today.
After a 3h call I remember why I don’t usually talk to him.
What he’s saying is:
Democracy only works if the vote of rich people is worth more.
The happiness of your people is defined by the amount of money your country has.
Thanks to Corona, the EU, Russia, Afrika and China are gonna be slums. They’ll be poor and without money.
The US is the only country that’s gonna be fine and it’s gonna be the most important country in the world.
Putin didn’t do anything illegal, he stays president because the people vote for him.
FFS, I tried to tell him my opinion on each single one of those statements, he ignored me and kept telling me how it’s the rich people that keep the clock ticking.9 -
"Programming is a craft. At its simplest, it comes down to getting a
computer to do what you want it to do (or what your user wants it to do). As a programmer, you are part listener, part advisor, part interpreter, and part dictator. You try to capture elusive requirements and find a way of expressing them so that a mere machine can do them justice. You try to document your work so that others can understand it, and you try to
engineer your work so that others can build on it. What's more, you try to do all this against the relentless ticking of the project clock. You work small miracles every day.
It's a difficult job. "

This not a rant, but I want to ask you some advice from you the community.
Before that I want to tell you about me. I have an invisible handicap. I'm half-deaf. I have some moderately severe loss between ~500 - 3000 Hz. To give you some idea, its in the range of clock ticking, whispering, piano notes, pronounced letters (m, n, p, h, g, ch and sh sounds), leaves crushing or waving in the wind.
I use hearing aids, however I can't always count on those because if it's too loud (ex: airplane flying over the building), I can't hear the voices that are speaking in that moment. Or sometimes the tubes where the augmented sounds are passing to my ear are repleted because of humidity. So I don't hear 100% better but rather in the range of ~70 - 80%.
I'm going to need to do an internship next year to finish my studies. Since I will take interviews, I want to ask you if I should mention those details to my interviewer or keep it very simple and tell him that I use hearing aids?
I ask you this because I know people with hearing aids had problems to find a workplace because the interviewers feared the "unknown". Some needed to sign up for help for handicapped people to receive a workplace. For them it is a downside because they are tagged as "handicapped" in society.
I know here are some interviewers and I wanted to know some advice from them as well from you guys of the community.
If you want to know more about hearing loss, feel free to ask questions.3 -
London people, what are some interesting job fairs here for an enthusiastic graduate React dev with a bit of experience? More broadly, how might I go about finding a job here?1

Setting up my dad's first Bitcoin wallet was supposed to go smoothly; instead, he had forgotten his password within days after the transfer of $95,000 into the new account. You know, like one of those laugh-out-loud, sort-of-awkward moments, you are thinking in the back of your mind how hard could that password really be to remember? Hard-especially when you're fresh in this crypto space and getting familiar with all kinds of security. I could almost hear the panic in his voice when Dad called me. He didn't know what to do: his money was locked in a wallet, and the password was apparently gone up in smoke. We didn't have any backup options or anything that would help jog his memory. I tried to help him, but every password I guessed made it worse. The reality hit hard: the $95,000 was sitting there, out of reach, and the clock was ticking. That's when I knew I needed to get professional help. That is when the PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION literally came into play. I was very skeptical at first-after all, how often does one have something such as this resolved, especially dealing with crypto? But the moment I explained the situation, the team showed great understanding and reassured me: no strangers to these kinds of problems, they got right down to cracking the code. What followed was a few tense days of waiting; every time I tried to reach out to PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, they would keep me updated and put my mind at ease. The professionalism was unmatched, and before I knew it, they phoned with good news: my dad's Bitcoin wallet was unlocked, and the $95,000 was recovered. It was an overwhelming relief. My dad, who had been about ready to give up on crypto entirely, was now a proud Bitcoin holder once again. Thanks to PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, Email; pyramidhack @ solution4u. com TELEGRAM; @ PyramidhackSolution he didn't just get his funds back-he got a crash course in cryptocurrency security, and now he's a confident pro in his own right. As for me, I'm no longer the tech failure I once feared I was. Now, whenever he is in trouble, I am his savior of technology. It was funny, really, looking back on how one little mistake could spiral into a big panic. But with PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, we were able to make it a success story. A lesson learned for both of us: be more careful with the passwords, especially those that guard such valuable assets.2
