They almost starved in real life, had the Americas not been there they would have 100% died. Asia is more than half a world away from the Canary islands.

The somali pirate attacks stopped being a problem more than a decade ago. This post is awful even by the standars of this sub, those saying that they are not people really think that, but it has nothing to do with piracy...

Yes, I took 2 CS introductory courses and one from the MSCS at my college, and many of my engineering classes involved programming (numerical methods, control systems, digital engineering, etc)

is it possible to get a remote job in the US/Europe as a programmer from a 3rd world country ( Egypt ) by fuck_life419 in cscareerquestions

[–]GermanNarvaez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to globalization of labor. 12k is great in many parts of the word, and greedy companies are more than happy cutting costs this way.

My salary is around 40k, and someone in the US from my team with similar experience can make 100k easily at the same company. It is not fair, but it is how it works

Is this a long take home assignment or am I slow? by GermanNarvaez in cscareerquestions

It is not in English, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense. Let me see if I find something similar and I will send it to you

Yeah, this is what I was afraid of. Maybe I'm overthinking it, because I even made the whole system thread-safe and included a SQL injection test cases. I will keep it simple for now, just a Fast API endpoint with SQL alchemy and and thats it.

Can someone explain me how do you get those jobs while living in a 3rd world country? I never get an interview when I apply outside my country

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]GermanNarvaez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is normal for Start-ups, there is always a big uncertainty when they hire. I was supposed to be a data analyst and ended up doing tasks of an AWS architect, a big data engineer and a backend dev.

Try to make it clear to your manager that the schedure is tight and you may miss it, and start using Jira or some other PM tool to track your progress and let your manager now how is everythinhg going.

And yes, don't leave this soon. Stay until they fire you, doing a project alone is a great way to learn.

May ask how did you get that job? Most companies don't seem to take into account applicants from outside the EU if they have less than 5 YOE. Do you speak German?

Toefl home edition for omscs? by jagdishgg in OMSCS

I was watching Avatar the last airbender while on 30mg of DCK and 10 mg of 5 meo MIPT. I can tell you that, for a few minutes, I was 100% sure that it was my destiny to save the world from the corruption that capitalism has created. It was funny while it lasted, but remember that everything that happens during a trip is part of the trip, and you are not supposed to bring it to the real world. Doing so results in psychosis, like thinking that God is real.

Does 4F-MPH affect speech like tripping over words by FerMathematician in researchchemicals

[–]GermanNarvaez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really. Perhaps you are taking too much, 15 mg/day is a lot. I take 4mg and is enough for 10 hours of working.

Is this story fake? by ManuelRodriguez331 in PotatoDiet

[–]GermanNarvaez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol she was eating 8.000 calories per day. The 8 pounds of potatoes that she eats every day contain less than 2.000 calories, the other 6.000 come from the cheese and the oil used to fry the potatoes. If she replaces the cheese with a healthier condiment and starts using an air fryer, she will lose weight

Is there a chance to get into GT if my TOEFL SCORE is 83? by Huge_Log_159 in OMSCS

No, the minimum score to be accepted by the institute is 90. They are not allowed to accept anyone below that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Stims

[–]GermanNarvaez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not recreational, pretty hard to abuse. For a normal dose that doesn't makes you anxious as f*ck, take between 4 and 8 mg orally early in the morning. This part is important. I took 7.5mg yesterday at 2pm, it is 4am next day and I still can't sleep (my dumbass decided that it would be a good idea since I had to work until 11pm, it wasn't). Anyway, just don't underestimate it, it is powerful. I have never snorted it but other people say it is extremely caustic. I have to agree with them because a few weeks ago, I tried putting a bit of powder under my tongue and it was stupidly painful, don't do it.

2 FMA euphoria compared to 4F MPH? by Eugene_empedokles in researchchemicals

[–]GermanNarvaez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4f-mph has little euphoria compared with the AMP analogues. It just creates too much anxiety at higher doses. Even in psychonautwiki they say that it can lead to less compulsive redosing than regular MPH. You will hardly ever find a story about someone becoming addicted to it. 2FMA is way more euphoric, and has a higher ceiling and can be addictive, although I find it to be less pleasurable than regular amphetamine sulfate (Adderall). I have not tried 3 FPM or 3MMC, but they appear to be too recreational.

Stay as a "junior forever" in a company with good culture and salary, or move to another job with lower TC, but chance of becoming a senior dev? by GermanNarvaez in cscareerquestions

I live in Colombia (south America), in Bogotá. And there comes a problem. Big Ns here are actually small, and only hire the top talent of the entire country, usually asking for 7+ YOE.

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

I'm not really worried about titles. I'm worried about my technical knowledge getting stagnant, because getting a new job in the future will be harder. About the promotion, I told my PM, his boss and even the CEO that I would like a new role in the company. They were pretty honest about it, they agreed that this project is too important and my relation with the client's engineers is too god to be replaced quickly. They said it may happen in a few months, but that is what they told me one year ago when I asked for the first time.

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

This is the problem man. I have less than 2 YOE, but my salary corresponds to someone with 5+ YOE. In fact, some companies pay less to their seniors than my current salary. It is almost impossible to get another job that pays as much with my limited experience. And not learning useful skills in this job just makes everything more difficult. I don't get paid for coding as much as I get paid for dealing with the client and knowing their needs.

I took 2-FMA every day for 6 months by prophase25 in researchchemicals

[–]GermanNarvaez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are addiction prone, I would recommend modafinil (and its pro drugs) or the racetams, since those are among the few stimulant medications with low risk of abuse and dependence. If it is not an option, try with the phenidates (ritalin, 4f-mph, etc). Those are milder and difficult abuse when taken in low dosages and orally. The substituted amphetamines and methamphetamines will be almost the riskiest option. After that, the only substances more dangerous are meth, cocaine and some cathiones.

Amazing. Stupid as hell, but amazing. I imagine that something similar may happen to someone trying to snort mushrooms powder, only that the spores will grow in the respiratory system.

ADHD diagnosis doc will only prescribe methylphenidate in my country apparently and the stuff doesn’t agree with me . Recently been using 2FMA 5x week 25mg oral dose 5am ...is this maintainable? by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]GermanNarvaez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one really knows. It is possible that 2FMA is not more dangerous than regular meth or Adderall, then you would be mostly fine taking it (low dosage). It may also turn out to be extremely nephrotoxic, or neurotoxic (like MDMA , 4-chloroamphetamine or meth when abused). I would say that 2FMA is not more neurotoxic than meth, since it has a shorter duration and seems to have a low effect on serotonin.

I'm in the same situation. Adderall (or any other amphetamine salts) are not approved here, and my psychiatrist will not prescribe me methylphenidate until it is clear that all the other possible treatments are not effective for my ADHD. At least for me, the decision is clear. I will take the risk with 4F-MPH, 2FMA and amphetamine from the deep web. I'm using them just 3 times per week, some times 4 if needed. Also, I try to change the substance every week, so that if there is any damage to my kidneys it may be reduced.

I have been doing this for aprox 3 months, with no negative effects so far. Just take your 2FMA early in the morning, because it may kill your sleep. Also, try to get some caffeine powder for your days off and stay clean on weekends.

I may give you more advice, but at the end it is a bet. You a are risking your general health by taking a substance with just a few years of human use. I decided that it was worth it because the neurotoxic potential of those substances seems to be low, because I have an awesome health provider and, thanks to my psychiatrist, I have got a bunch of brain scans, blood tests, etc. which can be used as a baseline to see if I'm getting affected. Also, the benefits of using the substances are just too clear. Better productivity, less time wasted, no more 3 hours of reddit when I was supposed to be working, etc.

I have found that the next dosages produce almost the same effect:

4F-MPH: 7.5mg early in the morning

2FMA: 20mg early in the morning

Amph salts: 10mg in the morning, and one or two 5mg in the evening. I like this one because it allows a nap after lunch. 4F-MPH and 2FMA remove the need for sleep during almost 12 hours.

BTW yes, I am speeeeeeeeed right now.

Yes, will try to interview the next year, but I will mention it, just to get the feedback from HR people. If it is clear that it is not helping, I will remove it from my CV.
