Yooo rare fellow Guix user. After a while Guix motivated me to learn Scheme. IMO easiest way is to just read the first chapter of SICP, its only about 60 pages.
I don't get the Prigo hate. Him and the PMC "de-nazified" 50,000 of the best Nato and Nazi soldiers. I don't see why one 36 hour rebellion should undo all that.
How many applications did you send out to get the first job? Did you have to grind DSA practice problems for the interviews? I sent (spammed) about 400 in the past few months and only got 1 interview which rejected anyways. I haven't graduated yet, so if I can't find anything I was going to do what OP's parents recommend and try to finish a CS MA.
wait for the job market to improve
I hear people saying the programming job market will improve in the US from the low of the 2022 and 2023 era FANG firings, but why would the US job market improve? I don't see why all those programmers with work experience would be removed from circulation and fresh grads still will compete with them. What would change for the market to improve? The Silicon Valley Bank collapse and bailout way back in March 2023 is probably going to cause less startups to be funded in the long run and solidify FANG monopolies in the US even more. Now that the lock downs have been over for a while, I predict the population is going to be lowering usage of social media over the next few years if they haven't already, lowering demand. I would expect the job market to worsen in the long run, not improve, much less return to the 2019-2022 glory days. In the US the only programming field I see that is growing is the AI and GPT stuff.
Yandex:
First result with a more up to date version. No AI, only quotes from the source. Still shows a bunch of SEO.
sudo bash -c "echo '0.0.0.0 www.youtube.com' >> /etc/hosts"
ez win
Back when I had to use a windows vm just did
qemu ... -net user,smb=$HOME/
then in the windows vm just type \\10.0.2.4 into file explorer. Does that not work?
man qemu says:
smb=dir[,smbserver=addr]
When using the user mode network stack, activate a
built-in SMB server so that Windows OSes can access to
the host files in dir transparently. The IP address of
the SMB server can be set to addr. By default the 4th IP
in the guest network is used, i.e. x.x.x.4.
In the guest Windows OS, the line:
10.0.2.4 smbserver
must be added in the file C:\WINDOWS\LMHOSTS (for windows
9x/Me) or C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\LMHOSTS (Windows
NT/2000).
Then dir can be accessed in \\smbserver\qemu.
Note that a SAMBA server must be installed on the host
OS.
Another way is to setup Spice and use a webdav daemon in Windows to transfer files over Spice folder sharing.
You could also just RDP to the machine which is probably the easiest.
The simplest would just be to scp files to and from Windows. Like in powershell do scp -R yourusername@10.0.2.2:~/path/stuff output_dir to get files from Linux.
Been using Yandex as my default search for almost a year now. It's like the old Google and DDG. It doesn't have as many SEO sites like Google results and actually respects when you put quotes around to force include a word in the query making it much more useful for searching up programming errors. The only downside I found is that it has a bunch of anti-degeneracy filters which sometimes interfere if for example if you search up something like "unixporn" it will try and block the word "porn" in the results. Also translate.yandex.com is really good at translating Russian, but seems slightly worse than Google translate for Chinese.
Yeah it sucks that Node is on a 2 year old version. I ended up just using a Docker container for that stuff. Weird that Guix has some packages years out of date while others are always bleeding edge.
