Working with different nationalities is interesting, and sometimes kind of bewildering. And tiring.
I've been working with an Indian dev for a little while, and while she's a decent dev, interactions with her sometimes leave me a little puzzled. She glazes over serious topics, totally over-sensationalizes unimportant oddities, has yet to say the word "no," and she refers to the senior devs as (quote) "the legends." Also, when asked a question by her boss, like "Are you familiar with this?" Instead of a simple yes/no answer, she shows off a little. Fair, I do this sometimes too, but it's a regular thing with her. Also, like most Indians I've known and/or worked with, she has a very strict class-and-caste view of the world. It honestly makes me a little uncomfortable with how she views people, like certain people belong in certain boxes, how some boxes (and therefore their contents) are inherently better than others, and how it's difficult or simply impossible to move between boxes. My obviously westerner view of things is that you can pick where you want to be and what you want to do, and all it takes to get there is acquiring the proper skills and putting in the required effort. I see no boxes at all, just a sprawling web of trades/specialities. And those legends she talks about? They're good devs with more knowledge than me, but only one, maybe two of them are better devs. I see them as coworkers and leads, not legends. Legends would be the likes of Ada Lovelace, Dennis Ritchie, Yukihuro Matsumoto, and Satoshi Nakamoto. (Among others, obv.). To call a lead dev a legend is just strange to me, unless they're actually deserving, but we don't work with anyone like Wozniak or Carmack.
Since I'm apparently ranting about her a little, let me continue. She's also extremely difficult to understand. Not because of her words or her accent, but I can't ever figure out what she's trying to get across. The words fit together and make valid sentences, but the sentences don't often make sense with one another, and all put together... I'm just totally lost. To be a math nerd, like the two conversations are skew lines: very similar, but can never intersect. What's more, if I say I don't understand and ask for clarification, she refuses and says she doesn't want to confuse me further, and to just do what I think is best. It's incredibly frustrating.
Specifically, we're trying to split up functionality on a ticket -- she's part of a different dev team (accounting), and really should own the accounting portion since she will be responsible for it, but there's no clear boundary in the codebase. Trying to discuss this has been... difficult.
Anyway.
Sometimes other cultures' world views are just puzzling, or even kind of alien. This Irish/Chinese guy stayed at my parents' house for a week. He had red hair, and his facial features were about 3/4 Chinese. He looked strange and really interesting. I can't really explain it, but interacting with him felt like talking to basically any other guy I've known, except sometimes his mannerisms and behavior were just shockingly strange and unexpected, and he occasionally made so little sense to me that I was really taken aback.
This Chinese manager I had valued appearances and percieved honors more than anything else. He cared about punctuality and attire more than productivity. Instead of giving raises for good work or promotions, he would give fancy new titles and maybe allow you to move your desk somewhere with a better view of your coworkers. Not somewhere nicer; somewhere more prominent. How he made connections between concepts was also very strange, like the Chinese/Irish guy earlier. The site templating system was a "bridge?" Idk? He also talked luck with his investors (who were also Chinese), and they would often take the investment money to the casino to see if luck was in the company's favor. Not even kidding.
Also! the Iranian people I've known. They've shown very little emotion, except occasionally anger. If I tried to appease them, they would spurn and insult me, but if I met their anger, they would immediately return to being calm, and always seemed to respect me more afterward. Again, it's a little puzzling. By contrast, meeting an American's anger often makes them dislike you, and exceeding it tends to begin a rivalry.
It's neat seeing how people of different nationalities have different perspectives and world views and think so very differently. but it can also be a little tiring always having to translate and to switch behavior styles, sometimes even between sentences.
It's also frustrating when we simply cannot communicate despite having a language in common.23 -

Setting up eslint is driving me nuts.
This shit never works for me.
Every two months:
I read why eslint is important to have in development workflow. I get convinced of it's benefit. I decide to give it few hours to do this correctly this time.
3-4 hours passby, still nothing. I run into problems that only I face. My vscode setup is a complete mess now. My code formatter wants one way if writing code which eslint doesn't like for some reason.
Fuck this shit.
Am I the only one?3 -
Using memcpy() instead of copy_to_user() in a kernel module. One could overwrite kernel space memory, by passing a kernel space address as destination address.

Why isn't Monero popular than Bitcoin, its practically the BEST crypto currency ever build, Satoshi Nakamoto did a great job, but come on!
Monero is factually EPIC!2 -
HIRE A GENUINE HACKER TO RECOVER LOST BTC & USDT- VISIT SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY
I had $560,000 in Bitcoin saved up to fund my life's passion, an off-grid solar project designed to bring light to rural villages. Years of scrimping, saving, and explaining to skeptical relatives that no, Bitcoin wasn't just for internet gamblers, came down to this. But a slip of the finger almost sent my plans into eternal darkness.
Making a final transfer to consolidate my project funds, I had copied the wrong wallet address. It was so quick. One paste, one click, and my stomach dropped faster than a solar panel off a roof. My entire investment vanished into the digital ether. I stared at the screen, waiting for it to grow arms and slap me in the face. When it didn't, I knew I was in trouble.
Desperation led me to an energy summit, more for a diversion than anything. But fate has a sense of humor. During networking in a break, I heard a speaker casually mention Salvage Asset Recovery, as one might refer to a weather app, not the digital cavalry. I pounced like a man who'd seen a power outlet in the desert.
From that first call, their crew oozed competence and tranquility. They treated my busted transfer like an engineering challenge, not a personal disaster (even though I was seconds away from rechristening the project "Bit coinless in the Dark"). Using advanced blockchain tracing techniques, they mapped the Byzantine trail of transactions. I imagined them in hard hats, working the blockchain like electricians restoring downed power lines.
Each update brought hope. Eleven days in, they located the funds. Two days after that, I had it back, every Satoshi. I nearly hugged my solar panel prototype.
The Salvage Asset not only recovered my money; they future-proofed me. They walked me through address verification processes, multi-sig security, and how not to let jitters turn your dream into a nightmare. It did not come across as a lecture but more like taking advice from an older brother who went through every tech blunder imaginable.
Today, my project is charging forward (pun intended). The first village will soon bask in sustainable power. When they flip that switch, I’ll know it was made possible by hard work, a bit of luck, and the brilliance of Salvage Asset Recovery. REACH OUT TO SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY, THIER CONTACT DETAILS

EXPERIENCED CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY COMPANY ⁚ CONTACT DIGITAL HACK RECOVERY FOR BEST SERVICES
Imagine waking up, groggily reaching for your phone to check your crypto balance, only to find out you’re locked out of your Bitcoin wallet, holding a cool $550,000. No explanation, no warning—just an impenetrable wall between you and your hard-earned fortune. Yep, that’s how my day started, and let me tell you, it wasn’t the morning coffee that got my heart racing. It felt like I had been shoved into a financial horror movie, except instead of a masked villain, it was my Bitcoin wallet holding me hostage.
After the initial panic—and after realizing that yelling at my laptop wasn’t going to magically unlock my wallet—I did what any reasonable person would do: I turned to Google. After several hours of frantic research, which mostly led to dead ends and sketchy forums, I finally stumbled across something that didn’t look like a scam: Digital Hack Recovery. It sounded almost too good to be true, but at this point, I was willing to try anything short of selling my soul to get that $550,000 back.
So, I took the plunge and contacted Digital Hack Recovery. From the get-go, their team was an absolute breath of fresh air.

No sugarcoating, no "We'll get back to you in 5 business days" nonsense—they got right to work. And let me tell you, their forensic approach to wallet recovery was nothing short of magic (or at least, the kind of magic that involves a lot of advanced technology I’ll never understand).
The best part? They kept me updated throughout the entire process. I wasn’t left sitting around, anxiously biting my nails, wondering if I’d ever see my Bitcoin again. Every step of the way, they communicated what they were doing and why, which put me at ease—something that’s no small feat when you’re staring at a locked wallet with $550,000 inside. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, there were no hidden fees. None. Nada. Everything was upfront and transparent, which is something you don’t often find in the world of cryptocurrency.
Before I knew it, Digital Hack Recovery had done the impossible. They restored full access to my wallet, and I didn’t lose a single satoshi. It was as if the whole nightmare had never happened, except I now had a newfound appreciation for wallet security (and a checklist of things not to do in the future). So, if you’re ever locked out of your wallet—whether through a hacker’s handiwork or your own accidental blunder—don’t panic. Just call Digital Hack Recovery. They’re the real deal, and trust me, they’ll bring your funds back where they belong: in your wallet, not lost in some digital black hole. For quick assistance contact Digital Hack Recovery through⁚

HIRE A EXPERIENCE HACKER TO RECOVER SCAM BTC & USDT WITH SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL
Accuracy is my business, but one spoofed email ruined all that I had built. I am an attorney who prides myself on being able to detect lies, but the scam this time was flawless.

It is my responsibility to handle our finances at home as my wife courageously serves in the armed forces. I had accrued our Bitcoin reserves discreetly during the past several years to $180,000 via cautious trading, my modest contribution towards our future. It was going to be our nest egg when she came home. But one insane morning, disaster struck. I was juggling breakfast, emails, and a diaper change when our toddler, energized by endless enthusiasm and chaos, hit high speed. In the blink of an eye, his little hands grabbed my coffee cup and hurled it across the room. Hot coffee splashed over my laptop, sizzling as it crept into the keys. I jumped to grab it, but too late. The screen flickered, fizzled, and went black. My stomach plummeted. Worst of all, the backup drive, which I foolishly had sitting alongside it, also received a caffeine bath. Panic set in. That $180,000 was everything I owned. My wife was overseas deployed, so she was out of it at home. How was I supposed to tell her that I had sunk our nest egg in coffee? Desperate for help, I found SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL in a commercial on a parenting podcast. I thought at first it was just another internet craze. With nothing to lose (save everything), I phoned. Much to my surprise, their team responded right away. They were polite, patient, and, above all, judgment-free. They reassured me that toddler-induced tech disasters were more frequent than I was aware. That reassured me somewhat, but I was still sweating bullets. The recovery process was similar to surgery on my financial future. They drilled data off of my soggy hard drive like a pair of brain surgeons. Every day, they'd update me on their progress in plain, non-geeky language, no mysterious technology mumbo-jumbo. That was wonderful, since my own nerves were fried.Seven days later, I received the call. They had recovered my wallet. Every satoshi remained. Relief enveloped me so intensely I came close to weeping. That $180,000, my wife's deployment bonus was included, was secure. I cannot thank SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL sufficiently. They rescued my savings, my pride, and potentially my marriage. I learned my lesson: always back up your backup, and keep your coffee at a distance from your laptop!

HOW TO RECOVER YOUR STOLEN CRYPTO INVESTMENT: REACH OUT TO RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY
Teaching AI ethics is my day job, where I spend my days instructing students in the conflict between human judgment and machine learning, but I never thought I'd be outwitted by my own digital wallet. And yet there I was, staring at my fried hard drive and realizing that $910,000 worth of Bitcoin had just been encrypted into oblivion.
The disaster started innocently enough. I had been operating an experimental machine learning program, training it to improve encryption security independently. Enthusiastic with the encouraging results, I ran one final simulation on my home laptop, the same one that held my wallet keys in an encrypted file. What could possibly go wrong?
As would be the case, everything. The algorithm, eager to show itself, created a security system so robust that I couldn't even get access to it myself. It rendered the key file so corrupted that my life's savings might just as well be floating around cyberspace. When I tried to explain what had occurred in class the following day, the expressions on the faces of my classmates were one of amusement and horror. "Professor, didn't you teach data backups last week?" Ouch..Whatsapp: +1 4 14 80 71 4 85
A student approached me after class and softly whispered a lifeline: "Check out RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY. They deal with cases like this." Desperation got the better of my pride, so I called them. From the first email, their team treated me like a valued partner, not another moron who let an AI lock him out...Email: rapiddigitalrecovery (@) execs. com
RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY's engineers approached my problem like battle-hardened cryptographers and compassionate therapists. They requested samples of my encryption methods, dissected my test algorithm, and effectively reverse-engineered my own efforts. They even smiled (graciously) at the enthusiasm of my marauding AI for security...Telegram: @Rapiddigitalrecovery1
After 12 days of nail-biting suspense, I heard the call. "Professor, we got it." My heart pounded faster than when I first powered up a neural network. My Bitcoin wallet was returned, every single satoshi. They even provided me with security recommendations tailored to my academic community so that my next algorithm would not hold my money hostage.
Now, when I teach AI ethics, I introduce with this cautionary tale. My students chuckle, my robots beep their approval, and I sleep better knowing RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY stands in the wings to rescue even the most hubristic tech wizards. Human ingenuity triumphs once more.
