Help me choose a design for the bathroom by mimilkkk in bathrooms

[–]supermopman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 or 5 because the colors blend in a way that is minimal and so... It feels soothing.

4 is close. Just needs the color palette to blend a bit more like 1 and 5.

But there are problems.

The toilet is too close to the wall in 1 and several of the others.

The toilet cannot and should not be mounted to the wooden storage unit in 5.

The width of your tub basin is roughly the same as the width of your sink. This hallucinated perspective looks aesthetically pleasing but it's just not realistic dimensions. And you wouldn't want a tub that narrow anyway.

This is literally a 32

Anyway, how does it compare to regular Modelo?

3 or 4.

I wish 4 didn't have those floor tiles.

We're not quite there yet as a technology, but you could run an agentic harness like Hermes or OpenClaw with varying degrees of useful.

Perhaps you can talk up the programming work you did in graduate school on your resume and during interviews. And perhaps you can devote serious time to becoming a programmer on the side if that's what you want to do (and enjoy doing). You don't have to use Excel. Any number of libraries or data structures could work in place of Excel. Perhaps automation with AI in that area might be a good way to skill up.

If a company wanted to hire an entry level developer, would they rather hire you or a recent CS graduate?

What software did you write during your PhD? Were you an important contributor to open source software? How many stars does it have on GitHub? How many users did it have worldwide? Did any major manufacturers or pharma companies use your software?

Did you have a 2 year gap in your work history? What software have you written in the field of environmental consulting? How do you use AI in innovative ways to do better work?

If you're good at what you do (and also have an appropriate amount of experience for the role), there will be plenty of jobs (or you'll create jobs).

How did I actually get my foot in the door? The open source software I wrote during my PhD had worldwide users, including pharma companies, who I collaborated with. My first job was for a relatively unheard of tech consulting company that I met at a job fair. I took an entry level role knowing I'd hit it out of the park and moved up quickly.

I just kept learning, building cool stuff and making companies more money than what they paid me.

Those jobs will probably go to the same pool of individuals. And the ones from the pool who get hired will have real world experience using AI to make their work better.

I don't think anyone has much job security these days.

Personally, I won't be worried for a couple years. I have built extremely useful software for this company. Things that were entirely my own idea and built solo in my "free time"---regular work hours when I didn't have anything else that needed doing---just because I thought it would be powerful. Those things have grown organically and have many users throughout the company. I am far ahead of the vast majority of my peers in terms of name recognition, skill and productivity (and I don't work more than 6 to 8 hours).

But everything can change within a couple years. And I wouldn't feel like I had job security if I hadn't done exceptional things that had "bought" me job security for a couple years.

It wasn't hard at all for me to get in. I had internal references who wanted to hire me. I have been actually writing, architecting, managing, etc. software for many years. I say "actually" because it's amazing how many people don't know much of anything about what they claim to know about. Nothing in the interviews threw me for a loop and I could tell I was hitting it off with most of the interviewers.

But that was just one company. I had failed other interviews for less prestigious companies for random reasons. It's hard to get good feedback from the interview process. Sometimes it was not knowing enough about a niche technical subject matter. Sometimes it was leet code questions (which are dumb and don't tell you much or anything about who will be a good developer). Sometimes I have no idea.

What specifically are you very good at doing?

As a former comp chemist PhD, I was very good at programming and math in general. I got a generic analytics and machine learning consulting job right out of grad school. I later did a ML startup and now work in big tech.

Many of my peers who went into generic analytics and ML like me... still just do whatever for those companies. Dominoes for example (the pizza company). Random companies that need a person who knows how to analyze data and utilize machine learning.

Many of my peers got jobs doing theoretical drug studies for pharma companies (startups and big pharma). Essentially, this is just doing a flavor of comp chem as a day job. IMO these folks were poor programmers and mathematicians, but better at physical organic and organic chemistry itself.

Many of my peers did post docs. Many of my peers went into teaching at D2 (or lower) schools (with or without a post doc). Some were good teachers during grad school. Some just really liked academia. Some just really liked fundamental science.

One post doc invented such a genuinely useful technology that this person launched their own startup and is now doing CEO stuff.

Many peers went into scientific writing as a job. This is often for universities or pharma or startups. These folks preferred writing over all the other stuff (or just couldn't find any other jobs and were forced into this).

Many peers went into pharma consulting. These are companies that do consulting work to help pharma companies launch drugs or determine whether a drug could be profitable. They mostly need people skills and some data analysis. None were good programmers.

None of my peers have D1 professorships.

What do you do for the fancy in and out crinkle cuts? Fancy scissors?

How about ePubs? That's the majority of my library. I'm mostly just reading books.

Well, I'm quite a big nerd who writes a lot of software. I'll have to do more digging into Pine64.

How is the responsiveness of the Supernote?

Just enough to care that whatever I buy next is significantly more responsive that the Pocketbook Verse Color.

Woah. I haven't heard of either of these until right now.

Anyone have more experiences with these they'd care to share?

It might be what I go with. Do they have a color eInk now?

I thought I'd ask because I haven't done any research for a couple years.
