Just a joke my man.

ChubakPDP11 OP , 1 month ago

I was invited to a FLOSS engine project, I think it was Piston. I did not know much so I just bailed. I usually prefer making stuff from scratch because my aim is to learn, I know the software I write has no use. Like rn I am writing a UNIX shell. Just to learn (I just remoted it, see my profile).

Still, I doubt I will ever get a systems job. I don't have a degree. I dropped out. I will get one eventually, but I doubt the shirtty thirdie for-profit college I can afford is going to be attractive to recruiters.

I do have a job currently, it pays enough for thirdie living especially given the devaluation of currency here. I just want to have a job where I am not ignored for days by my client, like the job I have now.

I think it's everyone's dream to make a FLOSS that attracts pay piggies, I would like that too but I don't put much stonk on it. It's as delusional as people who clone a Todo app and expect to get hired by anyone.

Delusions run rampant in this discipline sadly. People are entitled. I think a degree is important because I would personally not entrust a non-degree holder with the stuff I personally like.

I try not to be entitled but I need to eat.

Anyways sorry if I am rambling.

Most of my programs are in C Link. Would this turn them off? I have no issue learning a new language mind you, let alone, superset of one I know. What worries me is the standard library. It's not hard to learn a language, it's hard to learn its standard library. For example, Rust has an extremely non-POSIX-ly STD. It really turns me off. To this day I have no clue how to close a file in Rust. I am implementing AWK in Rust, since there's already an AWK in Go and I think there must be one in Rust. However there's no damn close function! There's no file descriptors. I know Rust does most of its shit during compile-time and it's mostly a meta language with focus on denotational semantics (which I just happen to write a Gist document about here) so I finally had to make a ChatGPT model to explain Rust to me. I have a ChatGPT model for most languages, just to look them up.

I am also making a Ruby script to create manpages for Rust. Based on the JSON files that come with Rust-Doc package on Pop_OS!. If anyone wants to help me with those. that would be great. Thanks.

As it happens, I am in the process of making a documentation language with equation and graph support, taking hints from GraphViz, and initially targets PostScript. Structurally, I know how DAGs work. I have used DAGs in this abandoned compiler I was working on:

https://github.com/Chubek/Batmite

dag.c

It also has a graph coloring code.

I stopped working on it. I also learned about graphs in HS and first semester of college at DiscMath class, but they were basic info. I then learned about graphs by reading Rosen's discmath. I wanna read 7th edition. But ChatGPT has made me lazy. Why read a book fully when I can make a model, tell it to absorb the book (I think they have downloaded the entire libgen into their model? Am I wrong here? Why does it know every book libgen has, and does not know every book ligen does NOT have?) and then quiz it? haha.

Yeah you are right. Still, the sanctions make things hard to find job in most American or even Western European countries. American countries literally need a permission from the state department to 'officially' hire from here, but Western European countries avoid hiring Iranians because banking is extremely limited -- at least in theory. I have 2 PayPal accounts, one under my own name, one under some dude's name I don't know. With courier services it's very easy to transfer money. Even given the 'recent developments'. Not to mention crypto. Also, banks such as Turkey's Ziraat open accounts for Iranian nationales in a day or two, problem is, you have to be physically there. I am home-bound, a homebody. That is why I dropped out of JDM. I could not simply convince myself to step out of the threshold of our home. It's either very cold, very hot, and when it's temperate, my nose starts running like a ravine. I have lost both my male and female friends as well, to pill addiction (mine, not theirs). Coffee shops here have this thing called 'public table' to make up for the lack of bars and clubs, but I don't simply want to go out. The last time I went out was 6 months ago, no joking. I have two psychiatrists. I just pop Rialin and code.

All the 'cool jobs' here are either military shit which puts you on Bibi's radar, or college-educated only. Shit work exists. But even they don't do remote. Fuck them. Currency is so devalued t makes no sense to work locally.

Sorry if I am trauma-dumping (why is it a word anyways, these damn muricans label everything) --- just venting.

There should be plenty. I applied to two in Turkey, they were fine jobs. All these countries are even healthier than America in some aspects, economy-wise. The jobs in Turkey were cool af. There are some duds in BRIC like Turkmenistan though. I think I have to focus my attention on a Christian nation, rather than a Muslim nation. Chances that there would be expats from English-speaking countries in Georgia is much higher than being one in Turkey. And that is the ultimate problem I face, language. I speak Persian natively and English at L2 level, and I would have issues communicating. I once interviewed for an on-site data pipeline engineering job in the capital, I wanted to fail it because moving cities is impossible for me. I interviewed with a Russian dude, or was he Ukrainian or Belarusian, anways, he worked for the Iranian company in questions and his accent was thick, my accent was thick and even if I wanted to pass the test and rail that cute recruiter daily and nightly and ever so rightly, I would not have been able to.

Let's not forget about Russia. They have a much stronger software industry than BRIC nations.

I got one callback from Turkish company, they were making Real-time OSes. Zilch. I don't think even if the Ayatollah rizzed Biden and vice versa and Iran was a member of G7 + 2, it would not have made a difference, neither for BRIC, nor for EU, and none for NA ,os SA or SEA. It's just impossible to get a job when I think of myself worse than dirt.

Plus I don't know much either.

Thanks.

Thanks man. Immigration is not on my docket though. I'm too sedentary.
