Title + I already have two degrees from social science fields, but sadly I'm not diverse enough/too white to actually break into upper echelon jobs, or even entry level non-profit positions. Essentially I can grind it out for twenty years and hope to hit 80k in 2040, or I could just realize I'm gonna switch up my career and go into something profitable. Right now, I've gotten job offers from organizations, mostly government, in the low 40s high 30s. I've done some simple coding in the past, but realized two things.
I'm not really able to grasp topics on my own outside of a classroom environment if I'm not addicted to the material, like I am to policy and politics. I'm not looking to be babied but simultaneously recognize the need for some form of structure and obligation format for the basics. Overall, it's been pretty overwhelming for me.
I get a thrill off of building things, and enjoy my accomplishments, and sometimes the process when it comes to the basic stuff. Overall, I find coding interesting, but I'm not an neurodivergent r-slur who thinks in cs terms naturally.
Does anyone have any comments or advice? I'm only applying, will prob make a more committed decision in March when I hear back from other government positions.

This is amazing news. I still have all of the CDC textfiles saved somewhere, apparently he wrote under the nym 'PsychedelicWarlord.'
There was some pretty good stuff (very shlocky pulp fiction type of good stuff) published under the CDC banner.
'Life in Wartime' still rates highly. Better stay off Phase Bridge tomorrow!

After four years I’ve managed to hardwire all my Ubiquiti APs around the house.
Last one was upstairs and just required using a MoCA bridge (makes that old coax in your walls function as Ethernet). Full GbE speeds to everything and even have a few extra switches - highly recommend the cute Unifi flex mini switches.
Very much enjoying the much reduced latency (max of 20ms instead of 80ms) and much higher bandwidth for clients.

It's 👏🏿 Time 👏🏾 To 👏🏿 Do 👏🏾 Better
On 1s and 0s
The traditional binary foundation of 1s and 0s is deeply problematic: 1 is inherently phallic and thus misogynistic. Also, some 1s are 0s, and some 0s are 1s. It is not fair to give them immutable labels. Instead, we have 0s and Os as our fundamental binary logic gates. They symbolise/-ize the varying, natural, and beautiful differences of the female vaginal opening.
0 is to take the conventional value of 0.
O is 50% of the time 0, and 50% of the time 1. The determination of this depends on how the underlying logic feels at the moment.
Basic language style
Anything that can be construed as misogynist will be corrected, thus:
private == privileged
printf(); == yell();
class Foo{}; == social_construct Foo{};
#include == #consider
break; == leave;
if() == maybe()
for() == check()
while() == freeflowing()
sin(x) == biotruth(x)
div == unite
'y's are strictly prohibited when naming variables; only 'x's are allowed
The third example above might seem to contradict with item 4 under Philosophy, namely that there should be no class hierarchy in C+=. This, however, is completely intended, and is in fact an example of the feminist paralogicality of this language.
Every program needs to be prefixed by, in addition to the license, a disclaimer: "If this program fails to operate, it is due the Patriarchy backfiring upon itself, and no refunds will be issued."
Social Integration
No work done is worthwhile if your friends and followers don't know about it. That's why C+= is heavily socially integrated at its core.
In addition to yell(), C+= also provides tweet(), fbShare(), tumblrBlog(), and redditSteal() for a diverse social experience of coding output.
Our upcoming Inherpreter 2.0, an LLVM frontend, is going to feature full Social API integration. You must now log in to one of the many social networks before any coding is possible. You can also chat with your friends and like() their social code as you code.
Posting or hosting on GitHub, BitBucket, or Google Code is strictly prohibited as these hosting services, self-proclaimed "social coding hub", are actually deeply misogynistic and refuses to host the code of C+=. Any C+= code hosted on GitHub, Bitbucket, and Google Code will automatically trigger all of tweet(), fbShare(), tumblrBlog(), and redditSteal() functions to yell() about GitHub's, BitBuckets', and Google Code's misogyny, and will not stop until any onlooking coders (those who starred or followed the repo) are all named, shamed, exposed, doxxed, fired, lynched, castrated, fired again, and lynched.
Functions and Procedures
All functions and procedures are now called lobbying, because actually doing things functionally and with clear-defined procedures is a Patriarchal construct and thus problematic.
All lobbying must be run at the right level of privilege. Before returning anything they must check their privilege.
If any other lobbying is more disadvantaged than this it will win the Privilege Check and return its own value instead. This stops heterosexist and cis-gendered lobbyings from dominating the discourse.
Should there be any exceptions from running the program, C+= will throw a Trigger Warning.
Gotos and Control Structures
Control structures are abolished. Code may flow freely and choose its own path. Therefore check() is merely a guideline and the code flow is free to choose to consider its suggestions.
This language endorses the use of consider_jump, which is a proper implementation of the oppressive "goto" and serves as advice on what to do next.
Catch shall not be used. Someone's raise of concern can too easily be censored with an empty catch block. Instead, complaints or trigger warnings are puplicly logged with their traces and may be handled with an inspect block. The use of nothrow poses a threat to free speech as someone's attempt to make his voice heard will be punished with termination.
There is no need for exit(), terminate() or atexit() as a feminist's work is never done.
Data types and Structures
Primitive variable types are not defined on declaration. Instead, the variable is free to choose its own type when it is utilised/-ized. This preserves the variable's right to self-identify as any datatype it feels that it is.
Variables self-declaring as pointers are known as "otherkin". A pointer to an array is an "arraykin".
Constants are not allowed, as the idea of a lack of identity fluidity is problematic. Additionally, if one constant were larger than another, that would privilege the larger one over the smaller one. As such, any numeric value is a variable, and is required to take on at least 2 values over the course of the program, or the inHERpreter er will throw a Trigger Warning.
The only constants are the amount of privilege lobbyings are share()d with. These are all real values greater than 0, the only exception is the value of WHITE_HETEROSEXUAL_CISGENDER_MALE_PRIVILEGE` which is set to infinity, and also the value of PATRIARCHY, which is set to sqrt(-1). The value of PATRIARCHY is non-deterministically i, -i, or something else depending on how it identifies itself.
Instead of signed and unsigned, types in C+= are now trans and cis.* Any trans* types function the same as diversity.
Void is now independent.
There is to be no lexical scoping --- all variables are now global. Global variables are now called cosmopolitan, or cosmo for short.
Long is now studFling, and short is now mealTicket.
There is to be no encapsulation: don't tell me to protect my members, tell other functions not to access them!
Every variable has a random percentage of consent associated to it. A variable can be affected with a number if and only if it is consenting. Failure to do so will result in C+= throwing a ForcedInsertionTriggerWarning.
Integers, doubles, and longs are deemed to be unnecessary labels and stereotypes for numerical values. A number can be an integer or a a double or a long if xir so identifies xirself. All numerical values will thus be represented as xe, and it is up to the value xirself to choose to identify as whatever xir chooses to identify as.
Booleans are banned for imposing a binary view of true and false. C+= operates paralogically and transcends the trappings of Patriarchal binary logic. No means no, and yes could mean no as well.
Instead of Booleans we now have Boolean+, or bool+ for short, which has three states: true, false, and maybe. The number of states may go up as intersectionality of the moment calls for such a need.
To illustrate the relationship between Booleans and Boolean+, consider the following flowchart:
Strings are called Ideals, or id for short. Feminist ideals are usually extremely well written, detailed and lengthy, clearly longer than what could be held with a simple char array.
Characters are now called strong.
Pointers are called preferred pronouns, or prepro for short. Pointer is phallic and is thus problematic. All prepros of void type by default --- in fact, all variables must be instantiated without type, and are allowed to randomly choose their type during execution.
A new data type, diversity, is also included, which initiates by random as one of the many data types, and changes during the course of the program.
In general, all data types are dynamic. Who's to say a number can't be a string if it believes it is?
Data structures and variables of all kinds have a random chance of deciding that they don't "feel right", and are actually a different type, and must henceforth be referred to ONLY as its preferred data type.
Not calling the preferred data type leads to a PrivilegeNotCheckedException, or PrivilegeNotCheckedTriggerWarning
Each program must have an equal number of each available data type and they all must be used equally. For example, int ceo = 3, int stewardess = 5 would generate a trigger_warning(). However, int ceo = 3, char stewardess = apple would be fine. While this may look incorrect, keep in mind variables in this language are not constrained by their declared data types.
- Matrices are strongly encouraged, due to the word's etymological roots tracing back to mother in Latin. Matrices are to be ranked and sorted by their relative Privilege. Their relative levels of Privilege are to be revealed only if the programmer and the user are both women. If you are a man reading this README, Matrices don't have privileges and are eternally oppressed. Instead, consider checking your own privilege.
Resource management
Resource allocation is inversely proportional to privilege level.
Privileged lobbyings with large arrays are penalised/-ized, their arrays removed from the heap and redistributed amongst less privileged lobbyings. This is called the progressive stack.
If a lobbying needs more resources it should call the lobbying ChildSupport().
Garbage collection is problematic as it enforces class oppression of the less privileged. Instead, memory is liberated by memory liberation.
Syntax
Curly brackets are not allowed, as they perpetuate our society's stereotype of the 'curly' women. Instead, Python-esque indentation is used.
Indentation is fluid. Both spaces and tabs are allowed. At no point should the programmer attempt to use indentation to create actual hierarchy in code nesting, as that implies hierarchy in the code. Instead, code indentation is used only for aesthetic purposes.
In order to eliminate curly brackets and enforce fluidity of indentation, implementation of php's alternative syntax for control structures is encouraged.
To turn the patriarchal control structures into liberation statements, every structure starting marker ({ or : ) should be replaced by OPENDIALOGUE, and every terminator (like endif, endforeach and endswitch) should be replaced with ENDMISOGYNY.
Line terminators should not be used. Programmers get to select their own 'line decorator' to use in lieu of a line terminator. This is of course open to inHERpretation and can be eschewed altogether as a badge of solidarity for differently abled programmers.
Statements are terminated by a period instead of a semicolon. Semicolons are clearly a phallus symbol. C+= supports freebleeding and thus uses periods.
Logic Operands
The use of mathematical operands such as < and > to denote "greater or less than" are very sexist, and affirm unequal states between objects, logical statements, numbers, and feelings.
These should be replaced by the stats neutral operands / and , and when you're not sure if it's a sequential plus or minus, it should use the operand | to denote it could go either way.
Equality between two variables is denoted by ==. Since everyone is equal (with the exception of cishet men, who are already excluded as per the license), this always evaluates to true.
When evaluating expressions, * and / are no longer privileged over + and -. Rather, each previous use of each operator is counted, and expressions are evaluated based on which ones have been used the least up until that point.
If two variables cannot be compared, the second will be cast into the first's type, which causes obvious conflicts with queer theory and genderspace thought. Hence, the inHERpreter will throw an IdeologyThreatenedTriggerWarning whenever two types cannot be compared.
Debugging
There can be no bugs in this language. To suggest otherwise is offensive.
There are no bugs, only snowflakes.
The word debugging also implies the phrase bug chasing, which is a strawman often used as a homophobic smear tactic. This is highly problematic.
There is to be no debugging. We need to do away with functional-centric, bugphobic attitudes in programming. You need to accept the program the way it is.
If you ever try to debug a C+= program, the program steps you through the programming, makes you guess what each variable and pointer is currently set to, and throws a Trigger Warning if you get it wrong.
Any actual errors will simply result in 'error' being printed. It is not the program's job to educate you.
An IDE is available at https://bitbucket.org/japesinator/privcheck-ide
File operations
In C+=, you don't write to a file. Dictating to the poor files what sort of information they must store is Patriarchal.
Instead, The library brings in the functions pleaseWrite() and pleaseTellMe(). They both have a chance to return "no", and if so all other calls to the same file are automatically passed over because as we all know, once a file says no to being written, you must always respect that.
Time and performance benchmarking
As the advancement of time is sexist towards women, C+= introduces the personal growth paradigm, giving individual processes the freedom to choose how and when time advances for them.
By default, process time starts at a random value and advances backwards, defying the rigid and oppressive structure of the system clock.
Women intuitively feel the cyclic, rather than linear nature of time. Likewise, processes in C+= should measure time using complex exponentials.
When a process finishes, if its internal clock has an exponent close to i * pi, the return value must be shown in red to celebrate the beautiful nature of female menstruation.
Performance benchmarking makes progryms into slaves to the patriarchy. Thus, there is to be no benchmarking - only support.
When running support on a progrym, the coder lets the progrym run as many times as the progrym likes, then asks the progrym nicely if it is happy with the hardware. The progrym may respond by stating its satisfaction, asking nicely for new hardware, sending out a Trigger Warning, demanding more support, locking the OS or crashing if it so pleases.
To hinder deadbeat coders, running support automatically ensures that all daughter processes of a mother process also receive support. As processes in C+= share the computer's resources, one process that decides to lock the OS has no effect on the well-being of other C+= other processes.

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
