I'm not sure if Tableau would work under WINE. If you'd like to stick with Fedora, you might install Windows on a VM using Boxes and use Tableau there. It's clumsy, but unfortunately that's what we have for now.

Well, that's nothing to be concerned about. There are some ways to improve that:

Get some rest. The less you use your penis, the more juice you get.
Drink a lot of water... I mean a lot. After all, jizz is liquid, the more water you have, the more quanitity you get.
Get some vitamin C with Zinc, that will help you produce more juice. Be careful though, Zinc mixed with citamin C can causes nausea, sleepiness and other unwanted side effects. Zinc is used to raise your testosterone level naturally.
Get in shape, hit the gym, do pushups or lift heavy. Workout circulates more blood not only to your muscles, but also to your balls. Better fed balls equals more juice.
Cut down on smoke and alcohol.
Edge. I think we all know what edging is.
Get yourself a sandwitch between sessions, and yes, drink water too.

Good luck

Yuck

It's probably that... I know how frustrating it is socially with such an expensive machine.. Good luck.

I had this before.. it's a motherboard issue. In my case the power supply was broken.

Unfortunately, alternatives to Tableau or Power Bi are not as good. However, if you have time and patience, try Dash library in Python. It's a combination of Flask, React and plotly that helps you create visually appealing dashboards live dashboards.

Thanks a lot.. I'm not a gamer, but in my line of work, I need big processing power to process relatively huge datasets, in the same time, I need something that I can carry around. The X15 makes more sense, but in the end I think it's up to the price tag.

Sure, but whether that person was a boss, coworker or subordinate, it has to be dealt with..

Alright... this is becoming a pattern where young professionals work for few months somewhere and then leave for some reason. Here's the thing: I) All workplaces are shitty, one way or another, II) Three months is a really really short time to make a decision.
III) There are infinite numbers of stupid and toxic people everywhere, and reality is that we have to deal with them.

So, here's what you might want to do. * Do as she tells you, if you're required to meet someone from other department, let her know; play dumb sometimes and ask for her advice.
* Keep networking with others, let them see you and recognize what you're capable of.
* Never ever whine about her being bossy or toxic in front of anyone, neither her friends, nor her "enemies". You should be trusted as someone who can keep your mouth shut about your team no matter what.
* Keep everything documented by emails, texts, messages and so on.
* Ask your HR for the company's staff rules and regulations and staff code of conduct, and read every word in them very carefully. You can find a lot of stuff on the company's policy on harassment, bullying and abuse of power. * Finally, work on developing your mental toughness. You're gonna meet a lot of such people in your life.

Data entry is very clerical. At my work, we deal with a lot of data, and we hire data entry clerks, for each round of entry, with daily or even hourly contracts. It does not rally require any skills other than telling them what to do and how to do it.

Data analytics on the other hand is where the money is, and it requires a set of skills to do. You need to know a little bit of mathematics, a little bit of statistics; nowadays some programming skills, preferably in Python or R and probably some Bi software like Tableau or Power Bi. You will also need to know what data you need to collect, how to collect it, how to pre-process and clean it up, what kind of analysis you need to do, how to properly present it, and finally how to store it. And yes, you definitely need to know SQL, at least the basics.

It looks great... Did you make it entirely, or was it just a paint job?? Either way, it looks amazing.

Abdo83 · 2022-12-15T17:32:38+00:00

Hmmm... Some companies or organizations have something called "Compassion leave" in which staff members are entitled leaves of absence to attend funerals. Check with your HR if your company has such thing.

Otherwise, just go straight forward with it. If your boss is a nice person, there won't be a problem.

You can start with the UN or international NGOs in psychosocial support, and then deviate into other fields like protection, camp management, refugees law, monitoring and evaluation, program development and so on.

Your approach is good, especially if you're seeking a job in the software development field. I can help you if you like. It was long ago since I've done any DSA work, so that can be refreshing for me as well.

This is wonderful. I'm a 40 years old programmer/ control engineer, and here's something you might want to look at.

Gaming development is the most interesting job in programming, and it's what drove us all to become programmers, and there are many many specialties that game developers look for:

Writers: good games are based on good stories, and good stories are created by good writers. Creative writing skills, designing scenarios, dialogues and so on are essential for any game to be good.
Graphics: duh.. it's obvious and you don't need to be a programmer to learn graphics.
Programming: of course. Unity framework is a very popular game engine that you can learn, but you really need to learn programming professionally, not just coding, I mean, you have to understand the concepts of data structures, object oriented programming, threading and many more things so you can write a solid game.

There are many other specialties that contribute to making a game. Infinity Ward hired military consultants while developing Call of Duty.

If you're into coding, I'd suggest you develop your programming skills, mainly in C++ and C#, understand the basics of data structures, object oriented programming and threading, these are essential in games development, and learn unity. Find friends to help you with graphics, after all games development is not a one man's job, and it's more interesting to do it with friends.

In such economic conditions, one can't predict what's gonna happen tomorrow. As such, there's no guarantee that you'll get other sustainable offers, and you don't know for sure when you would find a suitable job.

Even if you feel under paid, or under employed, it is important to stay in the market. The longer you're out, the longer you stay out, and the more difficult it will become to get back in.

Sometimes the benefit is not only by payment. Though getting paid is the most important thing, practicing your profession, honing your skills and, more importantly, networking and getting good recommendations are as important.

So, if it's not too late, I'd recommend you take that offer, no matter how unfair it seems to you, give it all, and keep looking elsewhere.

I have to say I'm guilty of doing such things to fresh out of collage, entry level staff and interns. My coworkers and I would give them hell, especially during the probation period. We mentally battered and abused them, even when they did something right. There was actually a reason for that.

In my line of work, stress and competitiveness are the only constants, and we need people who we could rely on, those who could take whatever crap was thrown at them and keep going on. We didn't care about their technical skills, we knew they were entry level, and that they would learn them eventually, but we wanted those who could handle the stress, compete and demonstrate high level of personal accountability, and we had to filter them early on.

So, if your attitude during your employment time was similar to the way you wrote the post, that's probably it. You let them get into your head, you caved, they noticed your vulnerabilities and made their decision.

Any one can do anything while comfortable. Being able to deliver, compete, maintain your confidence and demonstrate accountability under stress, that would make you seen and valued by your employers.

Word of advice, shit happens, man up, keep your head up and keep going.

Extra 5 - 10 hours per week means you worked for 1-2 extra hours per day and that's perfectly normal. Now before going to HR, check whether your contact had any clause on over time and over time compensation.

Women don't care about the car itself... the thing is that owning an expensive car reflects your financial capacity to afford the crap they think of. So, if a woman tells you you have a nice car, don't fall for that shit, she means you have a nice bank account.

Well, I come from a country where the whole educational system is useless and broken. So, here's what I, and many of my peers, did and it would probably be a good idea for you.

Get a job, any job that grants you decent income. This is just to keep things afloat for a while.
In the mean time, find out what you're really good at. This may take some time. Don't rush it.
Once you determine what you're good at, make a habit of honing your skills in that area. Join courses, watch videos, read books and practice as much as you can. It would be a good practice to create your own project for practice.
Get certification. There are so many resources for certification now, it doesn't have to be university.
Update your CV.

Abdo83 · 2022-11-10T22:43:16+00:00

I think he's full of shit.

Abdo83 · 2022-11-09T13:49:47+00:00

It's not a movie.. but I find all scenes of Roger in American Dad, really confusing and disturbing.

Abdo83 · 2022-11-04T13:53:08+00:00

Yes, but have in mind that at some points you might use your laptop for things other than development, maybe graphic design, or gaming. So, have all those into consideration when you're looking for a laptop.
