You're honestly not doing anything wrong. Morrowind is a really unsatisfying game for a lot of reasons. The RNG based combat mechanics feel off in a game that lets you aim your strikes. The quests are difficult to follow, offering vague and often incorrect directions for long cross-country treks where you're constantly attacked by annoying flying creatures. Getting the most out of character advancement encourages you to play in a restrictive way.

Morrowind really shines when you're able to work past all that immerse yourself in the world anyway. Without spoiling too much, you're released from prison without much skill or equipment into a fractured society, full of political and racial tension. It's up to you to explore and navigate your way through things and the world is rich enough to (usually) support your investigation. The story leans into typical tropes about the "chosen one" and power creep in a way that makes it compatible with using a little meta-gaming knowledge and min-maxing while roleplaying. After a little artifact hunting and enchanting you're soon able to breathe underwater, levitate at will, instantly kill everything in a 50 foot radius, or jump vast distances across the continent and land gracefully. All of which would feel pretty cheesy if it weren't set on an island ruled by three individuals who have amassed enough arcane power to be called gods.

Speaking for myself personally, Morrowind is one of those games played as much in the theater of one's mind as it is on the computer screen. As others mentioned, mods help a lot to make the game more visually immersive and iron out some of its rough edges. But ultimately what appealed to me about Morrowind is weaving my own story into the setting, climbing that power curve from nearly powerless to god-like.
What do you mean by "algebraic errors"? The problem I (and DDG, and Google) consider that term to mean happens just as often in statically typed languages.

>subsidized resources from municipalities, telecoms want individuals to pay for the privilege.

greatest municipal subsidy is monopoly, and thus telecoms in many places have it both ways - i.e. the monopoly (or almost one) to extract payments from individuals. In this case the Google/Netflix seems to be more preferable, and they really want high bandwidth for you vs. telecoms to whom upgrading network is pure expense to be avoided whenever possible.
I believe it was the Rothschilds, yes. I suspect solosoyokaze is being downvoted for the word "triggered". That's a long step past "funded".
What are your qualifications and skills?

Can you code?

What roles did you apply for?

Did you reach out to any recruiters? Some recruiters will help you with your resume.

You need a coach with an understanding of the tech world. Someone to tell you what’s wrong with you.

Maybe you come off as creepy, intense, stupid, spacey, who knows. Either way, people seem to fail you on the question “do I want to work with this person?”
What you describe seems very different from the poster.
I read a bit of the responses here: some sadly very judgemental but I have also read OP’s responses.

I think seeing a therapist is a great idea given your difficult upbringing. However try to see someone who will help you improve on your professional presentation skills. Unfortunately this stuff matters a lot during interviews.

I mean someone who will candidly give you feedback on how you dress, communicate, your personal hygiene, language used etc.

Also, you have a powerful story of intellectual achievement.

I’d start reaching out to individuals on LinkedIn with a VERY SUCCINCT AND HIGHLY RELEVANT TO THEM message on why they should consider your for a position.

If you have references that can vouch for you this will go a LONG way. You mentioned IBM, anyone in there of some professional stature that could say: “yeah this is a good person to work with”?

Technology enthusiasts (read: HN users) may not like it, but it's a business practice that's working as intended. Sometimes Google may seem shortsighted but often times they're just measuring the market correctly.

I worked on AR/VR at Google and the projects have mostly paused because there's no visible financial benefit. No one in the real world cares enough about VR to justify it as a business. We prototyped hundreds of applications—every idea you can possibly think of—and all of them are either impractical with today's technology, or not useful enough to bother putting a VR headset on your head.

AR/VR is one of those things that feels so magical that you think, "There must be amazing things we can do with it!" but it turns out there's not. At least not yet. The situation is pretty clear because Facebook, Apple, and Google all bet big on AR/VR and all of them have stalled indefinitely.
Improving movement would be cool and something people miss a lot. I see people doing pull ups in the gym and kipping and flailing and it doesn't actually do anything except look silly.

Maybe apple can actually build the forever rumored tv & include some of their location tracking stuff, kind of like kinect to be able to track your limbs, posture etc. Add in some AI assisted improvement or hell even deepfake a person or just speech to say legs up higher run faster {{first_name}}!
I've tried out meetup.com and went to one meetup. It was ok. I felt a little uncomfortable though. They solicited for my name, and email to be added to the Slack. There was a lot of recreational clubs etc at my college. I tried rock climbing, and liked it. There wasn't a lot of social interaction with rock climbing though. I went to a party in Austin. Chatted with strangers etc. Wasn't really sure what else to talk about. I've read somewhere that asking strangers for the time might be a good exercise to become more comfortable talking with people.

I asked people that for a while. Except when one guy responded "It's time to get a watch" lol, I became blushed and kinda embrassed. I saw a comment recommending How to Win Friend and Influence People which I definitely want to read.

>The censorship of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 presidential election by Big Tech social media companies like Facebook and Twitter marked a significant turning point in the relationship between Big Tech and democracy.

Not to anyone who's studied journalism. That story was clearly nothing more than a gambit to smear someone. It doesn't even qualify as 'censorship.'

>I think autodidacticism is a better way to learn vs academic path.

A better way to learn, yes perhaps.

A degree shows that you can consistently show up and complete tasks. That's the important part. I haven't read all your posts but it is unclear to me that you actually completed a degree and got the slip of paper?

Unless you have notable (4-5yrs) experience for the position I am looking for, I probably wouldn't hire someone without a degree. It's just a baseline thing you need.

Based on your comments you seem talented but unreliable.
The problem now is that you likely can't use either of those managers that you went over the heads of as references for future jobs (they may not say nice things).
This probably would have upset me five years ago when I was still invested in the Python ecosystem (I had been using it since 2.1 in various capacities): the decision to break backwards compatibility in Python 3 was a huge factor in my decision to look around for another language to focus on: my experience with Common Lisp and Clojure (see Rich Hickey’s Speculation talk) has really made me value ecosystems where the people managing the ecosystem don’t waste everyone’s time with trivial breaking changes.
Without completely dismissing the idea of going to school, it might be more your speed to work on an open source project of some sort. If you can build something and launch it, that is cheaper, faster, and (potentially) a lot more fun than going to school. For someone who doesn't like playing the "games" involved in office work or interviews, setting yourself up for consulting work might be a good move too.
You've got a fringe position there. If you want to defend it, be my guest. I believe it's pretty obviously a given. You're basically picking a fight with capitalism which, while far from perfect, it's the best system we've tried to date.
Java is under hyped in the same way Toyota Corollas are under hyped.

Nothing is exciting about it since it's so common. I personally dislike Java since I just find it hard , you'll never want for work as a skilled Java developer

Not sure if this helps, but we have a saying in Jiu Jitsu that a black belt is a white belt who never quit. Hang in there, and don’t be afraid to punch outside your weight class in tech - there are a million people out there who have problems, you just need to convince one of them that you’re the guy who can solve their problems.
I doubt there’s much State’s can do to stop HOAs from existing. It’s a contract between the homeowners. There’s a lot of economy of scale for group maintenance as well (e.g. landscaping costs are significantly less for adjacent properties).

Like most things in the USA, you can vote with your wallet and live somewhere that doesn’t have an HOA.

Companies can issue shares down the road, and they do for compensation, so people buying shares and pushing the stock price up is actually an ongoing assist. But, yes it's complex.

I probably have on rose-tinted glasses, too, but I still remember the sense of exploration on discovery in Morrowind. The vast, ash-blown landscape was fun.

Oblivion felt like a slog because of the auto-scaling, but I finished it.

Skyrim felt exactly like Oblivion but with more rails and even fewer voice actors, even though there might have actually been more voice actors. I have only made it a few hours each time I try to get into it. The voice acting alone ruins the immersion. Everyone looks and sounds the same!
The former. Apple is supportive of an open, non-apple platform for iOT / connected home stuff: CHOIP.
Who does the coordinating, to what purpose? By what right, at whose expense?

Why isn't coordination the grand experiment? Glancing nervously through history, or in the mirror, it's never sufficient -- and not for lack of vigor.

Suppose each microbe is unique: every one has a name, dreams, fears, love, grief, joy -- stories.

I can't understand the enduring appeal of reducing people's lives to fungible grey mush.
I think the myth that is the original article is referring to is probably your version of India dark ages story not the European dark ages story.

Believe it or not, Timur probably killed more muslim in his entire campaign than non Muslim.

The Delhi Sultanates created the Hindustan languages and started the Indo-Islamic architecture that reached its zenith during the Mughal Empire[1]. The Delhi Sultanate is also noted for its integration of the Indian subcontinent into a global cosmopolitan culture[2]. The Sultanate is a few forces in the world that has successfully repelled the Mongul catastrophic invasion. FYI, Mongul successfully decimated Baghdad of Abbasid empire and burnt it to the ground including the largest library known to the world at the time.

How come Github doesn't have this? Just lemme run it locally. I've wasted so much time debugging my workflows... It's such a obvious miss.
Sure, if you have better uses for the money, put it to work. Most people don't, so ingesting in the stock market is totally rational.

At te very least with a good chunk of it. Again diversification is good.
I wonder if you use the word creep really broadly; e.g. to include people that make you uncomfortable.

Many/most of those people, it seems to me, mean well but have difficulty connecting with you in the way you are used to. Many of those people have a bunch of insecurities, burdens, or even mental health concerns. I don't think it is useful to call those people creeps.

Some people are certainly toxic in the context of certain relationships or cultures, I get that.

If someone is using you without reciprocating, there are words for that, but I don't tend to use 'creep'.

Anyhow, I hope we can offer constructive (actionable) feedback to the OP.
> But it's going to be very difficult to explain why you left all of those jobs in a way that doesn't scare an employer.

If you work at a place for two months, don't put it on the resume?

If you have a gap in your employment, you need to be able to talk about that, but you don't have to talk about each stop.

In an interview, I'll ask about gaps. One ran something like, "I was laid off in {year} and took {weeks} to recover. It took me {months} to find a job at {company}. I took the role because of my financial situation, but I'm interested in you because I think our situations overlap better." That's not quite verbatim, but similar to what I had with someone we hired (I was part of the interview team, but I've never been a hiring manager). It didn't raise any red flags to me. His experience at his prior employer wasn't good, but he communicated effectively that he felt like we'd be a better fit, and we were.

Anecdotally, we had a candidate come in who was junior but pretty well educated. A thin resume in his situation would have been fine: we understood where he was coming from. I perceived a little insecurity from the two-page resume that could've been reduced to a few line items with a stronger emphasis on skills he brought to the table, and with a little probing on technical matters found that his purported experience was not what I would've expected from his background. Less in this case would've been more.

I don't know the OP from Adam, so I'd hesitate to offer much advice here; from the comments I'd think that there's a good reason to talk to a good counselor about the personal background and challenges and address the professional retooling after: but that's hard when you're down on your luck without money. Churches often offer this sort of service, but reading between the lines I'd guess that may not be an avenue for the OP.

Professionally I'd concentrate on starting over or looking to see if there are trade schools that would accommodate. One local to me is completely free and would provide a skillset for at least earning a living while trying to pursue other interests.
I'm a fan of PHP in general, but I've never liked the FIG coding standards. Common interfaces for logging, caching, and the like are useful, though, so I don't think the PSRs are all useless.

After using more languages with a distinction between strings and characters, a string in single quotes starts to look weird.

Although there are several questionable "best practices" in general, I have found that stricter typing in PHP has generally been a plus.
If you read the rest of the sentence GP was correct
Does that really lead to gain? I would have thought logging the phone as lost with Apple would have disabled it. Presumably not
I think GP might be a bit hard on writing style. I know plenty of succesful software engineers with poor writing abilities, and realistically my own are far from great. However your vs you're is the type of grammar mistake that really does not matter. Nobody is going to be confused by it. Writing structure is much more important.

Edit: also looking back, GP used your correctly, so wut?
Meh, CRTC has a lot more good to do before we can forgive them for enabling the telecoms to keep robing Canadians, with most expensive prices per gigabyte in the whole world.

The original Xbox was a huge pain in terms of memory. I'm amazed they got Morrowind to run on it at all. I worked on an Xbox game, and me and another programmer (much more skilled) spent a couple weeks trying to get memory usage down so that it would fit - and to eliminate almost all leaks.

There was a TCR that required the game to be able to run for an extended period, don't remember how long. But to prepare for it, I'd set it up to run in a loop overnight on the dev kit, and if it was locked up in the morning when I came in, I knew I still had work to do.
If you've followed Ars Technica in the past, you would have learned that the major telecoms have begged for billions from the government to expand their infrastructure, pocketed the money, and failed to do any expansion whatsoever. And then raise prices on consumers despite delivering them no extra benefits whatsoever.

There's a reason why the telecoms industry graces the bottom of consumer satisfaction lists.
I don't get it how Python exists. Even with the best IDE support writing YAML is a misery.
It's nice to see PHP adding useful things like enums and async (green threads). My foray into Web development started with Perl, but quickly segued into PHP with how much simpler it felt. The ability to hop into vim on your server (or use CPanel back in the day) and edit your site live was exciting back then – but now that very thought makes me shudder with what could go wrong, haha.

While I've moved onto JVM languages and Rust professionally, I do hope PHP will continue getting future generations excited about Web development and building out their ideas quickly.

"You're unable to find employment, which means either you're carrying yourself incorrectly or you're unable to perform the tasks required of an entry-level applicant." -VoidMint in this thread

This needs to be reiterated. It doesn't matter if you're smarter than Donald Knuth if you come across poorly or can't answer interview questions. Based on your background I suspect you answer the interview questions but you have no idea how to work with people.

Working with people that are nice is hard, working with people that are 'difficult' is damn near impossible and you sound difficult. When someone presents an idea to you that's actually stupid what do you say? How do you tell people no? Do you think about the feelings of those around you before you say something? These are things that can be taken for granted but are important for working within an organization (which you have limited experience with).

I'm awkward as all hell but was able to make it in industry by consciously improving the way I interact with other people (especially when I don't agree with them). This isn't an insurmountable challenge but you have to identify what's causing you problems before you can fix it.
> I my case the issue resurfaces in a minute or so.

You need a VR headset or strap that's easy to take off and put on. They typically operate with a dial on the back. You also probably need to rely on multiple pads that can absorb sweat. Not sure if there are any other solutions to mitigate extremely heavy facial sweating.

I'm a pretty heavy sweater myself, where it feels like the entire top half of my body is drenched in sweat including my face. The only time facial sweat annoys me is when it clouds the VR screens. Otherwise, my ritual works fine since I'm still able to constantly wipe the portion of my face that isnt' covered the VR headset and any other sweat gets caught by the towel on my neck

How would you even know what would happen working out with VR when it seems that you haven't even tried it yet?

> You are making unfounded assumptions here.

It's a pretty healthy assumption when you have commenters here making ridiculous claims like sweat routinely destroying VR headsets. I'm ok with valid criticisms of VR and there are many; I can write a fairly large blog post focusing on just downsides of VR. However, I'm not going to tolerate bad assumptions that aren't based on any real personal experience, or just reality in general
Homeschooling is frequently paired with some degree of insular.
When responding to a comment that asserts your writing is not strong you'd want to read, re-read, and re-re-read your reply to ensure it is well written. You seem to have not done that, which lends credence to the parent's comment.

My take is you seem to have an inflated sense of your abilities. I've interviewed people who share this trait and it's a turn off unless they have a portfolio of work to back it up.

Perhaps try taking a more humble approach. Ask lots of questions as to what/where they need help. If they align with your experience then share concrete examples of how you've helped others in those same situations. If you haven't, make note of the challenges and see if you can identify patterns across interviews. This would provide hints as to what skill-building you could focus on in the interim.

Good luck!
It took me a few minutes, after reading both the article and the first few comments here, before I realized Morrowind was a game (in the Elder Scrolls series, it seems), and not the code name for some early Xbox firmware (what I presumed at first).

In my experience, this has definitely not been true. People will assume you're being standoffish even though you're just minding your own business, just aren't a very talkative person, are focused on solving a problem, etc.

If you're trying to "play the game," you'll probably be better off (in some sense) spending less time on work and more time being affable.
I sweat a lot. All of it in the upper body including my face. My shirt is drenched and hard to take off post VR workout, even with a towel hanging from my neck. A VR workout is still doable with heavy sweating; you just have to try it several times before dismissing it.
Wonderful! This bill has been submitted for several legislative sessions now, and it’s great to see it finally pass. I am really looking forward to getting fiber from our county PUD and finally ditching Comcast.
