Yep. They need a sysadmin/data-science/software-dev/teaching person all in one.

YES. I'm sorry, but I like my pasta floppy please. The sheer bloated feeling I get after eating an otherwise perfectly prepared dish is nothing to joke about.

If you have the financial stability, go test yourself in academic research. Many biology labs are desperate for informaticians, and you don't need to be an expert in the topics

We're inching close to Asimov's Solaria [0] world, where private armies of robots do all the work, the scant humans never meet, preferring to use video calls that set up holographic environments which seamlessly blend the backgro

Incredible. I just tried a 2D anime photo, and it rendered the character perfectly from every angle: - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/15/ac/0c15ac64cc50d13010d4...

As a Brit dating an Italian, I couldn't agree more. I like to enjoy my coffee, not just drink it for the effects. I will never understand the tiny intense espresso + double sugar combo as a way to finish every meal. I get palpatations

I know that the moment that I have kids, this, all this ( gestures vaguely at the mess that is my intense hobbyist life ) comes to an end. Unfortunately every time the opportunity has presented itself, I've run away; scared to abandon

I'm not sure one can contract one's services to academia like that

Horrible advice: find a way to blend your work with your interests so that you no longer understand where your core work hours start and the obsessiveness begins. Do this for > 12 hours a day, every day, holidays included. Tell your love

OH! Oh god, I did not see that. I've been ricing my CV for a few months now. Highlighted STAR stories and projects to show my experience as a Software Dev / SysAdmin / Data Analyst / Matrix manager, made skill charts of

That's a really good question. Right now I'm making £55k, which is not terrible money, but it's way less than my industry peers are making whilst doing arguably less. I actually don't know how quickly my pay will scale i

Anecdote: when my dad was a child, one of the main coffee machines in the entire village required the slow work of a donkey attached to crankshaft to grind the beans. One day, someone decided to mechanize this process, and attached it to a

Indeed, but it was lazily tacked on instead of built up towards. These are the kind of jokes that Matt&Trey used to rally against (ala Family Guy writing time) because there was no setup for it.

(hostility aside...) I never said my work was perfect, but that I do take delight in polishing work that is more than passable. I can't be the only one here who likes to optimize their work in their free time.

That's fair, and much appreciated on the honest feedback

I'll just go to the job store and demand better pay, it's apparently very easy to do. I appreciate the warning about taking care of my health though.

I'm an X year "forever" post-doc. I have a wide range of tech and analysis skills but employers look at my CV and see no industry experience and will immediately dismiss me as an entry-level tech worker. Also, no one seems to

If one job is in the UK and the other job is in the EU, and I'm living in the UK... surely there must separate tax situations there?

the latter. I don't own property and I'm seeing the writing on the wall.

That's very helpful, thank you...

I want to do this fully legally. In Germany you just need to declare to your employer that you have a second job and that it won't interfere with their hours. I just want to know if its worth it, money/time-wise

The extra hours I do are more for my sense of perfectionism than to do with keeping up. I fill the extra time because I want to. I just now want to start getting laid for it.

It was by far one of their most unrelatable escapades. The commentary on the US healthcare system was good, but everything else just felt like Hollywood problems. I think Matt and Trey no longer inhabit the same space as everyone else, and
