There are orders of magnitude difference in the severity.

A generational genius. I love his music.

Something like Soylent. You can live off of it for a very, very long time. Enough time to get your garden growing.

The fact that you are questioning yourself means that you have the ability to introspect. I work at a major university and hire/manage people of all ages–as young as 15 and as old as 65. I have seen all kinds from the super smart and motivated to those who will sit in their position and do the minimum until they retire or those who are so incompetent or incapable of learning that they wash out of their own careers.

You probably compared yourself to that small number of people who did robotics club in high school, got into the elite CS/CE program, and already have a job offer from Meta for $150k. Don’t do that, those people aren’t normal and have never learned to just live. They also tend to experience constant and unending anxiety, which is why they drive themselves so hard. Do you really want to live that way?

I am always looking for that person who questions themself. If you are concerned about your ability to do something, you will put in the time to make sure that you do it well. If you have a Dunning-Kruger thing going on, then you’re going to be a terrible employee and I will eventually resent you and find a way to get you out of my department.

My advice:

1. accept that you will suffer some form of imposter syndrome for life. This is fine–it is better to be a bit insecure than a bit overconfident. You will constantly work to make sure that what you output is the best quality it can be simply because you are worried that it isn’t.

2. accept that you have little experience in your industry. You’re not supposed to as a new graduate. The whole point of your training has been in learning how to think professionally and approach a problem academically. Once you have that basis, you can learn the details.

3. be kind to yourself. You’re your own person and you don’t need to use others as a metric. Avoid the “I’m supposed to have…” sort of thinking and just do the best you can.

I hadn’t realized that that was a thing, amazing!

I think the joke for the top two might be mixed up.

Love it

It was a Mexican professor who once corrected one of my former classmates.

Haven’t heard that in a very long time!

“da da da” in Spanish.

Can you imagine being the president of some country and being forced to pretend like you’re at all interested?

It’s important to note that not all cables connect all the wires. You don’t need them all if your cable is only for charging. You need more if your cable transfers data.

The USB consortium has responded to this sort of need over time, but they have to do it in a way that is completely backwards compatible. It might be possible to do this in a new release of the standard, but it may also be that millions of cheap cables would be rendered useless in the process.

But lightning isn’t usb-c.

Lemmy is really full of angry people recently who are projecting their problems onto others. It’s very odd.

They obviously feel quite confident about their cause.

The real question is whether they have the momentum to keep it going. Even the MAGA types are getting tired of the impacts these decisions have on their lives. Yes, a group of bros got in power and took over, but they are falling fairly flat at each attempt. In the end, most of what they have done is symbolic. We will get back to some sense of normalcy soon enough.

Well I mean that river should have naturally moved to the other side of Louisiana like 75 years ago. Now the entire state is sinking since it’s not getting its normal fill of sediment. Good ol’ Congress deciding that stuff has to go through New Orleans instead of Lafayette because of reasons.

Use your Mastercard to buy yourself a Steam gift card then buy a product that is offensive to Mastercard with the gift card.

Wow. Way to acts in bad faith.

There are a lot of Nintendbros to convince. Good luck.
