I agree with you wholeheartedly, but there's a small problem here (and it's not just in the West) -- people dismiss these people, call them names, and put a dark label on them. And yet, quite often they need help. Changing one&#x2

Having been exposed to the internet at a very young age, I feel like an outsider in my own country and culture. There's just too much difference with others (hobbies, interests, way of thought... nearly everything), too much things I m

This is completely off topic, I am very sorry, but given your comment and your username -- are there any learning resources you would particularly recommend for graphics programming? I have collected a few already (however they are all begi

Ouch. My condolences. Yeah, if things are that bad, it could be viable. Civil war is another viable scenario. However, one should also assess the situation properly if his/her country is in civil war. If things go bad and you have to e

How is it safe when it's so volatile and based on speculation? As someone from a country which has had its currency's value slashed to half 5 years ago, I genuinely don't see how Bitcoin is safe at all. If anything, gold or r

Just a minor nitpick regarding your last paragraph, this is no longer the case. Intel is now significantly cheaper after they heavily cut prices across the board. For instance, you can now get an i7-10700K (which is roughly equivalent in si

I understand where you're coming from, and I sympathize with your comment (indeed, I am suffering from it as well), however I disagree that it's an Islamic world issue. It's common in underdeveloped / developing countrie

As an Egyptian, my thought is that it's a conscience issue, and also a law-trust issue. People in Anglosphere countries respect the law better than here (and the law is also actually applied and enforced), while here people just don&#x

Good point, but wouldn't there have been more pressure on the OEMs to increase security patch support if this were a widespread issue? Because most do 2 - 3 years.

I keep hearing this argument but I don't understand it. What does not having security patches do? I am using an HTC Desire 826 from 2016 running Android 6, while my father is using a Galaxy Note 3 Neo running Android 4.3. I personally

It's not just the fixed pricing, but everything is more expensive there. Much more. The poor part of the population couldn't even dream to live in the new capital. There's a theory that the recent minimum wage increase for th

The problem is that the mining bubble is temporary, and when it crashes, these miners dump their cards in the used market with _very_ attractive pricing. In 2018, something similar happened; ETH mining became unprofitable and the result was

Yes, this was what immediately came to my mind as well. For an interesting, albeit slightly unrelated read, see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_art >"Prior to 1984, these doodles also served a practical p

Just a small correction, most of the AM4 motherboards released in 2016 and 2017 do _not_ run Zen 3. Only few vendors (I think ASRock is the only one?) added support for Zen 3 on B350 / X370 / A320. The rest only added support on B

Oh, yes, I understand now. The original post was talking about changing surnames in general so I thought that it was criticising the norm, and my reply was in similar fashion - "why does the norm exist?" Should have clarified, sor

What's wrong with the wife not changing her last name? Why does there have to be change? Islam does it, and there are no issues at all.

Yeah, and how many citizens of these countries buy and use BTC? Particularly with how unstable it is compared to other assets like e.g. gold. Mind you, I speak as someone who is a citizen in a country that experienced that. Not now, but bac

I don't know about that. Plenty of people are using Intel non-F CPUs which have iGPUs. Honestly, the worrying part is that NVIDIA may block this. If I remember right, they did something similar back in 2017 with the P106 mining cards (

Mostly software subscriptions, actually.. things like PS Plus, etc. On consoles, you need to pay money (subscription) to be able to play multi-player for instance (whereas on PC it's free), and games in general are more expensive compa

Yes, but do they really start out like that, or is it a gradual descent? There's usually a catalyst that starts it in kids. Parents demanding success at all cost / rampant cheating around them (or just being surrounded by ruthless

Even if you don't subscribe to that belief, you still have something to lose -- conscience. Conscience doesn't really die overnight (and this is from my experience of living in a corrupt society), it's a death-by-a-thousand-c

Thank you very much for your reply. Finding a mentor is very difficult for me unfortunately (from a third world country, and not particularly rich). I will check out the books and research if there are any obsoleted / old parts. Thanks

Off-topic, very sorry: Are there any resources you particularly recommend if I wanted to learn more about quantum computing and how quantum computers work on the hardware level?

It was helpful, thank you :) I never really tried mixing things up before. In hindsight, I really should have because routine does bore me a lot. Getting out of my comfort zone is what I have been doing this semester, and it's going we

Thank you so much, truly. This is all really helpful. r/ADHD and your comments do resonate a lot with me, but I haven't checked out "Driven to Distraction" nor How to ADHD. Will check them out and see how things go, then

Does the diagnosis (and the medication) at least help with balancing things a bit? I still haven't actually got diagnosed. It's only recently that I started suspecting I may have some form of ADHD.
