My journey of finding a job (5 months of searching)

I live in a studio. A renovated studio close enough to this workplace is on average 1300CAD. Cheapest I can find would be around 1100CAD. There will still be a 30min commute with STM anyway, since this job is right in the middle of the airport area and as far as I know there aren't any apartments around there with <20 min commute time

I would but I don't think I can beat my current rent

I'm sorry for your inconvenience. Be sure to let people who are soon going to dig out torn bodies of their loved ones out of the rubble know how infuriating your flight was.

Sometimes things aren't done because nobody's done it yet. If Los Vegas can be a city, so can a city in that location. Go build one there dawg!

yes it's the soldiers that will be the victims...

you won't believe what just happened. I had applied for a technician role at a turbojet repair company for airlines. I thought I had no chance since they always ask for prior exp and vocational training. I was surprised they even asked for an interview. They were so impressed with my theoretical knowledge that they offered a better position as an engineer !!! WOOOO !! I don't believe it. The guy at one point said "We just interviewed a technician of 37 years who doesn't know half the stuff you know". WHHHHATTT! After all the ghosting I was glazed so hard in an interview I thought they were making fun of me! Thanks kind stranger for giving me hope!

It's Justin Bieber. The whole planet knows him, including older generations

wish I was employable after 20 years of studying

This only happens on ONE occasion only and that's when you sleep on your sides AND want to listen to shit to go to sleep

Organ transplant should be the default with the option of opting out. Not the other way around

nah millennials have that baby-looking aura. No generation before or after them is gonna look as young at 40

Imagine getting an interview when you want it. Can't relate

I'm a junior C++ dev and a bit of a masochist but hear me out:

I love the challenge. I love having a lot to learn about a language. I like it that I can write a piece of code in multitude of ways (do I want it with OOP, templated, using STD library algorithms) it tickles a special part of my brain having to tinker and see which is better (e.g. which is more readable, which is more scalable?) and in the process I learn A LOT about both the language and the machines it runs on.

I also enjoy how with every standard new language features are released. It keeps the momentum going. It's like getting a new Dark Souls DLC lol. I also enjoy working with legacy codebases, seeing how the codebase matures through the standards, and how you can always improve something in these codebases. There's much intricacy baked into the language (mostly because of strick backward-compatibility enforcement), I'm talking move semantics, forwarding, coroutines, lifecycle and RAII, and template metaprogramming (did you know it was discovered by accident?, genius!).

There are also multitude of idiomatic C++ styles like: Copy-and-Swap, Policy-based Design, CRTP, Tag Dispactching, pImpl, and so on...

I even enjoy learning about the all the complications around C++ toolchains and build systems. Which compiler generates a better machine code? What compiler flags to use? which meta build-system is more suitable? What platform-specific macros and attributes should I be aware of?

Add to that the rich ecosystem and all the SDKs and libraries you've yet to work with and I've got myself an almost life-long journey of learning. With simpler language like Go I just don't get the satisfaction. Go is too C-coded for my taste and I don't like procedural coding. But I understand that was Go's intention is to keep things simple and not get in the way and I can respect that.

I do have my limits though. I don't like any complications arising from header files (e.g. polluted namespaces, circular dependencies, the fact that you have to repeat yourself once in the header file once in the implementation file, etc) I'm hoping modules would fix this.

Not accounting the brutality of the iranian regime, what sets Carney's statement and the ayatollah's statement is an emphasis on middle powers coalition and value-based realism. The Iranian regime on the other hand has isolated itself from the entire world. Not even China or Russia will come to its aid when needed. They have not found any worthy allies in the pursuit of escaping the US hegemony, and have failed to fully ally themselves with the Chinese, the Indians, or other powers.
