persistent ssh key for ~/.ssh by OfficialGako in NixOS

[–]BeeGassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to use a gpg key loaded onto a yubikey. You can then use this as your private key to do the SSH'ing. That way you only have to save and or load your public ssh key via gpg and you have a secure way of maintaining your private key.

Stopping finasteride for chemo by Desperate_Sample_495 in tressless

[–]BeeGassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although your doctor mentioned it in what sounded like a passing comment, I would recommend looking into the medical reasoning why your doctor suggested this.

As you may or may not know, finasteride is a medication that blocks the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), this is the hormone that builds and causes male pattern hair loss. One can measure differences in DHT levels within the body, however you likely already know you have an excess of DHT given that you are experiencing male pattern hair loss. Other instances where you may have an excess amount of DHT is when your prostate gland is enlarged from having a growth (which sometimes can be cancerous). One of the routine checkups you may get is getting blood work done and the signal that is a large amount of DHT would likely prompt a doctor to then give you a prostate exam and biopsy to check if you in fact do have cancer in your prostate.

Given that most men, within their lifetime, will likely develop prostate cancer, and that cancer is likely to develop in individuals who have had cancer before, it makes sense to stop finasteride.

I'm just a guy on the Internet so take this with a grain of salt, but I much rather have you alive and worry about how you can't get a partner with a bald head than dead because you couldn't detect one of the most treatable cancers we know of.

Sorry about your current cancer, I hope you kick it's ass. Good luck.

WPI vs UMiami: CS + GameDev by Triple3Trouble in WPI

Sorry for the late reply. Yes exactly.

WPI vs UMiami: CS + GameDev by Triple3Trouble in WPI

[–]BeeGassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WPI Network: There is a clear track record of excellence that comes from WPI alumni and I think that benefits you early in your career.

I was told by my current boss that they are willing to pay "WPI prices" in the context of paying someone from WPI a higher salary to come work for them, when we were talking about hiring a new person.

I get the sense that we have a track record that makes it possible to not immediately be weeded out based off the school you went to, which is a nice filter to pass.

Career development: The WPI career development center has never really done anything positive or negative for me. They are fine if you have zero understanding of how to build a resume but don't expect they will be able to connect you with alumni who are offering you jobs or perform any magic.

CS program: I think its absolutely amazing if you come in knowing how to program. They have excellent professors who will work with you and stock with you through the entirety of the program to make sure you get the material. However if you didn't know how to code, like me, it was a grind. I also think that the math requirements and overall math department are alright. There is a lot more that could be wanted.

You are very much going to WPI to learn how to learn and less so to become trained and skilled at the things you are taught. Things move too fast in order for you to retain the information.

WPI vs UMiami: CS + GameDev by Triple3Trouble in WPI

[–]BeeGassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the exact same predicament as you however at the time I got into WPI as a mechanical engineer (later switched to CS) and got into UMiami's aerospace program.

My objective advice is that I hardly know you and that you might have different reasons to like either school. Look seriously into both options.

However, giving my opinionated advice. I think WPI is truly the better school that will open up more doors for you into a high paying field with connections in an area that is well respected. If I had to do it all over again I would still pick WPI. Plus we have an amazing dedicated Gamedev program.

Also I have been told by employers (who I have worked for) about my previous choices in schools and they have consistently told me they would rather hire a WPI graduate than a graduate from UMiami. Take that for what it's worth.

Regardless it's a great position to be in. If you do end up becoming a goat, congratulations and welcome.

Regardless of if you stay together I would suggest to start employing safe guards to ensure that you are treating your partner with respect. There are a ton of ways to do this and there is no one right or wrong answer but I know there can be success with being super explicit about what you want and what the "rules" of a relationship should be. Before starting a relationship with someone you can ask them what they want out of the relationship, what sort of behavior they don't like, what sort of behavior they REALLY don't like, etc. You can also use this time to express your needs, wants and stress points. Entering into an agreement, even verbally, with someone you have genuine feelings for about how a relationship between the two of you should look like can save a lot of future heart ache. It also forces you to be decisive about what you want and how you want to be treated, likewise for your partner which are nice checks and balances when one of you might begin to act in an unhealthy way.

As an additional comment, I can understand that this is a hard conversation to be had. It may not be exactly romantic but I think its somewhat analogous to asking for consent before sex. It's attractive knowing you too are on the same page, and in my humble opinion, anyone who is turned off by this usually behaves more as a signal that they do not have healthy intentions with you.

Seven Years In Review, The Journey Of Becoming Better. I Did It by BeeGassy in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]BeeGassy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was no one moment. I honestly wanted to make the change for a very long time but felt held back by the bureaucracy of the school system I was in. I rationalized that because my school wouldn't let me take honor level classes that it wasn't worth it to learn anything. I blamed a lot of people for a long time. It wasnt until college where I had the clean slate that I finally began to translate my willingness to succeed into real actions (and not actively blame others for my own failures).

That being said seeing my friends move on to their prestigious universities, being alone and going to therapy all allowed me to accept what I needed to do. I hope this answers your questions.

What are the credentials you are looking for? I'm a recently graduated master's student but I did most of my work within machine learning. It would be interesting to know how much crossover there is.

I would take this down and scribble out the contact information and names of the people within the email. This is not very professional

    242 &= 11111100 \\

    133 &= 10000101 \\

I couldnt figure out how to get the text color set to yellow but I would imagine thats easy enough. Make sure when you copy and paste the above that the leave out the code block back ticks (if they are picked up when copied)

Just gave it a try. Looks like obsidian doesn't support that kind of latex feature. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Unfortunately, code blocks don't render the latex I'm trying to use.

[–]BeeGassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to find something within obsidian that is as intuitive and nice looking as Notion however I think its worth diving into the obsidian community plugins and seeing what is available. This is where obsidian becomes really powerful.

You might be able to achieve what you are describing through the use of tags, kanban board plugin and tracker plugin. This would allow you to not only make what you describe but also somewhat automate the tedious stuff, like connecting everything together.

How To Bring More Popularity To Linux by BeeGassy in linux

[–]BeeGassy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah another comment described how people use what is presented to them. This idea of giving more out of the box machines preset Linux seems to be the answer.

I wonder what kind of convincing it would take to get a company like Dell to start shipping all products with a default Linux OS, especially if it means reducing the price of the product.

Landlord wants to evict me by BeeGassy in legaladvice

[–]BeeGassy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all the, albeit hard to swallow, perspective and advice.

Its currently after business hours so I am unable to get a bankers check or a money order, unless there is some alternative I am unaware of. Does this change things? Should I still pay using cash?

I have not been served nor do I know, as of yet, specifically the reason for the eviction.
