>higher ups hire a ton of newbies because we're a govt contractor and everyone's salaries are charged to the USA, and therefore more bodies means more revenue
>me and other seniors are now swamped, spend all our day helping people, teaching people things, fixing other people's bugs, etc.
>management starts a recurring meeting to "touch base" with us and make us feel heard
>proceeds to continue to hire more unneeded people
>agrees to make various small, pointless changes that don't deal with the meat of the issue, which is that we don't actually need all of these people
I hate this tactic where they make an effort to make you feel heard, and extend an olive branch, and whatnot, all the while fundamentally not altering their behavior in any meaningful way. So dishonest.

Stop being a wagie. Stop wasting your life making someone else wealthy and become a maid instead. Use your talents to make advanced Mathematics and Computer Science research and post it to Public Domain to help technology get advanced more.

We don't get to android women or counting to the Maid Mind Computer Program when so much talent wastes it's life making boring, shitty corporate webapps which amount to CRUD plus roles to let other wagies do paperwork with the app.

Quit your job and put on a maid outfit.

The autists will say leave them but what do the people who aren’t severally under-socialed to the point it hurt their prospects, say.


Personally I think these guys are greybeards till retirement so I doubt theyll change, im tempted to milk the fact that Im tech lead, got “career development”, and access to seniors who have the time to mentor me, that it might be worth staying around.

On the other hand, HR can barely breathe from the mouth so I could just lie and they will think the same.

wont work, boomers think PhDs are unemployable because they have no "real experience" (even though 99% of grad students are employed elsewhere before going for advanced degrees and often while studying too, on top of the nature of doctorate work putting you in contact with actual real working environments to study and improve them)

is this why they fear neets? they think they're going to be building bombs at home or something?
>>
>>101173043
yes but people only feel they need them so their status is not lower than the next person's is. It's actually hilarious when you think about how economics work. Bullshit jobs don't produce anything, so the only reason to put hours in, is because someone else is willing to put hours in, and if you don't, you'll be poorer than they are. But if everyone agreed to work less, no one would be any poorer, because you would still have the same amount of resources to share between you.

This obviously doesn't apply to something actually productive like idk farming.

Companies only give raises if they fear they will lose you. But they will never pay more than the potential competition. They have access to industry wide benchmarking data. They know exactly what the competition pays. They run quarterly analysis to see how much they need go pay for retention.
Knowing all this, if they offered you 8% then you were actually being underpaid by about 20%

chat do any of you guys work remote? any tips to enjoy my time outside of work?
i just started a new job last week and i'm having trouble separating my personal life and work life because i'll get bored and decide that i might as well do some work because my main alternative before getting a job was doomscrolling
it's not like i'm opposed to working hard, but i feel like i'm overdoing it. it'll be 3am and i can't sleep so i'll get up and do work
at 5 i still log off but since i'm on an individual project right now it doesn't really matter when i work as long as i'm available for communication during the day. i know it's the first mental stimulation i've had in over a year but it just feels wrong to treat this like i did my old college classes. a month is gonna pass and i'm probably gonna wanna kill myself or something

they are all peak Dunning-Kruger. for example, "Zero to Maker":
>The toaster seemed to have been a perfect challenge: an everyday object most people use regularly without a single thought given to its inherent ingenuity and utility. For Thwaites, the first step in the process was acquiring the toaster he had in mind and breaking it down for parts. He needed to understand exactly what he was trying to re-create. After completely disassembling and laying out the nearly 400 components built from roughly 100 different materials, he quickly realized the enormity of his endeavor. I knew exactly how he felt. I had run into a similar quandary. With the vague goal of re-skilling myself, I quickly ran up against the enormity of my quest: What did I actually want to make? What tool or tool family should I start with? Should I practice my woodworking skills or spend time learning about 3D printing? Thwaites wisely opted to redefine the scope of his project, and decided he would recreate just the main operating system of the toaster, or in Thwaites’ words, “the bare minimum from which I think I can make a toaster that retains the essence of toasterness. These are: steel, mica, copper, plastic, and nickel.” Even after he scaled down his goal to recreating only 5 of the nearly 100 materials, Thwaites still had an enormous challenge on his hands. He had no idea where to get the materials, or even where to start looking.
>His initial, simple question had evolved into an exposition of how unthinkably hard it is to make anything, let alone do it by yourself.

I'll take a more optimistic view and say it's because it all ends up being very implementation specific. The math isn't a big secret it's just really complicated and most are too lazy and unintelligent to solve it (myself included).
For example diffiehellman groups have hard coded primes
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3526#section-3
You could use a different prime but nobody does.
RSA is going to be the same math, but not strictly for key exchange and idk how it handles the primes, probably also hardcoded idk.
The shit is just really complex. I'm sure you could find a python script doing it all though.
>>
>>101174852
>and no I will not explain any of the math
It's a shame. The fast binary modular exponentiation algorithm is actually really neat.

It depends on the tool. Some hard code them, some expect it in a config file. Some include it in the keys (and it's hardcoded in the key generator or taken from a config file.)

Worst part is having people with electrical or software backgrounds tell you your job is the easiest thing in the world and then proceed to tell you how to do it. Bitch, I'm telling you there's literally no room for your bullshit and we've been over it multiple times; and, don't fucking tell me there's no other compatible switch you selected because I found one that hit all the specs and had it verified with a different electrical engineer for compatibility. No, physical product development is not like software development. Once the steel is cut and you demand a drastic change that isn't steel safe then the whole thing is trash and we eat thousands to millions in manufacturing costs and time.

Usually you don't encrypt keys on servers. That would be silly: someone would have to enter the decryption key on every reboot. That's not a big deal.

another reason for just handing it out as a function rather than a whole suite. I don't know what PKI EncryptorBot9000 is doing and why it needs 400 dependencies, and don't really feel like doing sustained testing on it to see if it ever connects anywhere and then also seeing if it's anything to be alarmed about or if it's just one of the 400 dependencies phoning home for usage metrics

or were you trying to trick me with some sideband attack type shit because that would be related to the encryption itself and not the implementation or its environment. someone getting a big block of base64 is still just getting a big block of base64 and if there's some attack that involves looking at the granularity of base64 vice the actual bitstream or something that will still happen with both PKE.ps1 and PGPBot9000.exe

"I turned down a $220k OTE to stay at my $190k OTE..."

Say what? $30k per year? That's a NICE bump, why not take it?

Nope, it's not a nice bump. It might even cost you a couple steps back in your career.

With the $190k OTE they had hit quota 3 of the past 4 years.
With the $190k OTE they had made more than $235k last year.
With the $190k OTE they have trust built with their manager.
~~
With the $220k OTE only 25% of the current reps were hitting.
With the $220k OTE you'll W2 less than with the $190k OTE.
With the $220k OTE you're stepping into a new ramp.
With the $220k OTE the attrition rate was over 40%.
With the $220k OTE the accelerators weren't as rich.
With the $220k OTE you can't get to the accelerators anyway.

Yes, sales professionals can be motivated by what $ can do for them. Which makes this analysis all the more important.

Please remember, OTE is only a piece of the picture.

I did design, manufacturing, mechatronics, and biomechanics and I'm still fucked. But yes, I still get people angrily tell me that I should know how a car works inside and out.

FWIW I do know how cars work inside and out and people still get angry at me. There's some unwritten rule in the universe that mechanical engineers have to take the most shit from everyone for only slightly better pay than civil retards.
Imagine being civil.

To be fair, if you're an engineer, you should have a vague idea of how a car works. Yeah, you shouldn't necessarily be an unlicensed mechanic, but others expecting you to know how to fix their 2019 Volvo based on "It makes a klunking noise sometimes" is the same shit everyone in every field gets ("anon is a devops guy surely he can fix my computer" "anon is in the military surely he knows krav maga" "anon works in a bar so he must know every mixed drink ever" etc) but if I say something to you like "boost impeller" in a conversation about cars you should know I'm probably talking about a piece of a turbo/super charger

If you don't drive and have no interest in cars, I wouldn't expect you to even know the difference between a supercharger and a turbocharger, but I'd expect that you would understand what they are very easily if I had to explain it, y'know?

>>101175572
when I was working I'd just tell people "I don't know offhand, but I'll google it and try some stuff on my machine and let you know what works"

>>101175622
people just be like this. one time in the navy I was on the bridge of a ship alongside doing PA announcements all day (it's just a rotating duty, don't question it) and said "Hands to Supper" instead of "Hands to Dinner" once. I got literally five calls up to the bridge in a row immediately and a shitgram e-mail about timestamped about an hour after it happened

My eyes glazed over when I was working with a civil engineer student in uni as he was explaining his concrete class homework to me. He knew how easy it was and how I felt. Guy probably still has a job after shit hit the fan.

>>101175649
Don't get me wrong. I know some car things but not every everything. Luckily, I did so much maintenance and repair work over the years and looked and made schematics that I can diagnose most problems pretty quickly. But fuck all if I'm going to spend any time looking into it until I need to.

steal them from coworkers. the coworkers will requisition new supplies as per normal, but you just continually pocket them

honestly it's not worth it to steal office supplies in the current year. it's not the 90s anymore. every time i move house i find a new box or bag of pencils and pens and shit, and everything generates enough forms and invoices and shit that stuff to doodle on is always in strong supply. and if i did real art rather than napkin system sketches I'd just get a tablet, and keep real notes mostly electronically anyway
