I am sympathetic towards OP's situation and made similar mistakes when I was younger, but telling people what they want to hear is not helping them and isn't actually empathetic. I've spent most of my life around non-neurotyp

What I've seen is that engineering departments tend to be engineers all the way down, so you often end up in a situation where the roles are reversed: the IC is neurotypical and the manager is autistic (especially asperger's). And

Also a common trope, playing out the "manager" or "business person" as an idiot when in fact often times there are bigger things at play. Looking down on people who aren't like you is not generally a positive. Under

That could be your ego talking? Always re-interpreting reality to put yourself on a pedestal? It is a bit silly talking in circles with people that have theory of mind deficits. You just have to avoid the "correctness conversation&quot

Ribbonfarm is better than anything else for non-neurotypical people. The examples are real and accurate although it does kind of spiral into odd places at the end. https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-ger

When do you let them grow up then? Or is it more about controlling your children than helping them?

by engineeringwoke 4y ago
No. Only a child-acting parent yells at their children. It might be popular in your culture, but it doesn’t make it right.

It’s so absurd. They call their children sneaky liars in the Anglo-sphere and then never tell them the truth in a silly attempt to “protect” their innocence. Of course they are sneaky liars?

There was a recent Economist article that said that 6% of the performance in PE is driven by earnings growth. It’s a Ponzi scheme built on debt because PE has so much money that they just trade around companies at higher multiples. Lol imag

It trashes your IRR though. Now what does the sponsor make?

It's healthy to depend on your coworkers for their specific knowledge. The landscape is too large for everyone to know everything, and honestly if I heard someone say this in an interview I would chalk it down to social deficits becaus

The only currency denomination that could work to evade the feds for a contract like what you're describing is CNY, which would basically require you to be Chinese and/or have a trusted party and be big enough to negotiate somethi

So, a "high" for the whole day then?

It's funny that you believe the nation states' excuses for de-basing their currency. People just use fiat because it is dominant and has a legal system attached. They de-base because they can. The fact that they thought M2 and its

Grapperhaus is a power-grabbing asshole, in broad daylight since the Helsema texts debacle. He doesn't give a fuck about kids. Sommige Nederlandse mensen geloven dit? Ik weet het niet hoor.

Anything that violates the tight seal that the nuclear family has relative to society in the United States is universally hated. All the problems start in the family but you are not allowed to go there here, probably because of religion. It

Providing education isn't expensive; big campuses and teams of administrators are. Universities could easily return to the old ways, just cap annual loans at $20k per head. It would be painful, but they're fat, and what they'

I studied economics. Everything except basic micro is nonsense. Intermediate micro is just calculus with silly variables. All the macro we studied was based on like fifty years of data, that of course showed the amazing power of economic th

Is it somehow righteous for academics to study self-referential things that their offspring then go to study in perpetuity? For example, money holes like string theory haven't produced any major breakthroughs, and in fact, that is by d

Just like all drugs, but the downsides of criminalization have been obvious for decades. I don't see a solution that isn't all drugs being cheap and legal.

This is an English-speaking board where people have individualistic preferences so it isn't surprising that people default to an answer from private capital, but in Europe the government does this, and it works. Starting a company in t

Agreed on all points. I still think RDBM is over-used; it's the default in many shops for any minor micro-service. It's like using a 20-piece multi-tool for something that only needs a regular kitchen knife.

Yeah I read the threads in my comments when I post, probably every 30 minutes. I spent a lot of time in the Netherlands. Learned the language, worked at a bunch of startups, started my own company. It's certainly a big part of who I am
