This machine is so complex we may never fully grasp it.

Kudos to the eggheads who managed to gather and publish all the data and even pretend to understand it here and there :)
I'm actively looking for a new job, after take a break for 2 months. Currently I'm faced with the "problem" that most of the positions that I find aren't interesting to me, in addition to me to being really sure of what i want to do.
Things that currently interest me:
- #rust
- functional programming #fp
- #postgres
- #NixOS
Things that I would like to avoid:
- C# / Java
- frondend stuff
- golang
- windows
Things I was ashamed of when I was younger but I don't care anymore: I'm a misophonic. This makes my social life really tough. I discovered it in the age of 10 but didn't tell anyone until around 8 years ago. I was afraid of people laughing at me. One day I discovered that I wasn't alone: some 8% of the human population suffers from misophonia (aka SSSS). There is no cure and it is unlikely there will ever be. This is also the main reason most of my friendships are on-line.
What's your story?

The difference between (A) and (B) is subtle but important. Both will produce a 10-digit string. (A) uses OS level PRNG based on whatever entropy the OS can provide. (B) uses Mersenne Twister PRNG.
(A): ''.join(random.SystemRandom().choice(string.digits) for _ in range(10))
(B): ''.join(random.choices(string.digits, k=10))
#Fosstodon is five years old and we're celebrating!
we are here
on a spinning rock
in a decaying body
in the middle of nowhere
and no one knows how
or why
