I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.
Literally my advisor. Like damn.
I did two post docs and they were great. I learned many valuable things, foremost among them that it was time to get the fuck out of academia.
Seriously I regret nothing, I had a great time.
Also my fav OP :)
Rcpp is probably the best thing to ever exist.
I reject tidyverse though
It took about a decade to undo the conditioning I gained in college and grad school to wake up every day at noon. Now, ten years later in my early 40s, I’m able to wake up at 10 am.
I wish Ubuntu was just xUbuntu by default and that xfce didn’t have like 4 different settings menus for no reason. I’d also like it if there was a minimalist icon theme by default, and a dock like old school vanilla Ubuntu.
Oh and better multi monitor support
Moving in with my parents, saving, buying real estate and then renting it out.
Another house
Gotta build passive income for retirement
I thought I was introverted.
Then I spent 4 months in Antarctica for work, and holy shit. No. I’m not introverted. I need my friends and family around me at all times.
No idea where you live, but the tap water is amazing where I live (somewhere in the western United States). And it comes from a set of glaciers that’s basically behind my house.
If my tap water tasted bad I’d probably set up a solar still to purify it.

Senior software engineer for one of the big terrible companies
I’m a senior software engineer, I work about 2 hours a day for 3 days a week. I’m very privileged, but I went to school until I was 30 and have 2 advanced degrees so there’s that. Also I’m pretty sure I’m going to be laid off in Q1 2024 so I’ll probably retire.
I worked really hard long hours in grad school and in my first post doc, and I don’t ever want to be stressed like that again in my life.
Probably food service or retail. Just about anything customer facing, really. I’ve never done those kind of jobs but it looks really stressful, like the people doing them are always doing something. There’s no sitting around and watching movies in that kind of job.
Buy a cheap one every few years, treat it like shit, recycle it when it’s dead.
It’s sad that it’s less work and less expense to re-buy an inferior product in many cases. Especially kitchen knives. Razor sharp $1 knives at the dollar store are much less expensive over a lifetime than one nice $100 knife (that can’t go in the dishwasher). Same goes for socket wrenches.
Going skiing and visiting hot springs in Japan
Starting to restore a 1964 corvette
Maybe learning to paint pottery
I think you can patent a seed as much as you want, but if it cross pollinates my crop and now I’m growing your patented stuff, sucks to be you, I’m not liable. If you want to patent a seed and grow it in an enclosed thing, go for it I guess.
A remake of murder on the orient express, except it’s in space and it’s the future.
Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.
