I read it but I have no idea what it meant. I am very interested in getting a Pi4, so can some of you more knowledgeable folks help me understand what this means?

I've definitely burned out before. Working crazy hours for low pay in hopes of showing my worth and earning more. It kept it up for a few years but eventually broke pretty hard.

I have to say though I am pretty thankful for all of that. It allowed me to reevaluate what was important to me and really think about what I wanted to do. I ended up switching industries all together and I finally don't hate life any more.

If the breakup does happen, the internet will become a brand new place, but if it doesn't happen, Google creates Skynet for real.

Kidding, but it is interesting to think about what would happen if the breakup does or doesn't happen.

I grew up in the Appalachians of South Carolina and I've visited all over them. I've seen the one mentioned in the article and always wondered why it was like that

Wow I somehow missed this. Not jazzed about it, but it shouldn't be too bad to install

Something I've often thought gets overlooked

It does, but after some months of just taking what they said and keeping on smiling, they lose interest. Every time.

Some companies addressed it directly and some let it happen. It also was not every co-worker at every job. Just a select few personality types mainly.

I am not a female, but I am a bootcamp grad with no college degree working as a sw engineer. At almost every place I've worked at so far I've had co-workers go through my GitHub and then make comments about how I shouldn't be working there.

I have no idea why people are doing this to Dr. Bouman, if it's gender related or not. Just stating my experiences.

Just so I'm fair, my GitHub does suck.

It's so awesome! I thought it was kinda cool that it actually looks a little bit like the one from Interstellar.

<sarcasm> I just wish they had used a camera from this century </sarcasm>

I assume that's from your vast firsthand experience?

I already said I was no expert, and described my own experiences.

I'm from the south, lived all over in urban and rural areas. Urban areas were the most racist (seemingly out of fear in most instances) by far. It's not overt either; the passive-aggressive stuff is real. Rural area racists seemed to be just uneducated/full of bad info on the most part, but also more vocal. I've also encountered more racists in the northeast than anywhere else (maybe they think I am too because of my accent?; regularly approached to ask about my level of "southern pride")

I will say that the majority of racists I've actually met have been middle- to upper-class. I've always thought this was kinda weird.

I'm not an expert either, just sharing my experiences.
