I support switching to Pleroma if it's cheaper to host, more efficient, and less complex on the backend.

Thanks, I’ve been listening to classical recently. I’ll check this out

In university, I learned it to improve my understanding of computer architecture: How exactly does a CPU compute things? How does the CPU interact with the different types of memory, and what are the performance implications?

It's helpful for writing compilers, particularly with optimization.

Enthusiasts enjoy the challenge and efficiency.

Some environments lack compilers and therefore require knowledge of Assembler.

Some say knowing Assembler guides writing more efficient code. For a low-level language like C, that's probably true, at least on a case-by-case basis. For higher-level languages, perhaps less so.

IMO Assembler isn't especially complex, it's just granular; a very tiny tool, best used for tiny jobs.

To be quite honest, I'm not trying that hard to get a . I'm not a shoe-in, so it's somewhat easy, but I could probably have a job right now if I tried harder.
A big reason why I don't is because I'm scared of . I don't remember a lot of what I learned.

I'm out of for about a year. I have degree. No jobs so far. Didn't get the highest GPA. No internships. But I think I still like . I did fairly well in my Data Science course (got a B, majority of grade was based on term project).
On a different note, I find it hard to focus on projects. I spend more time searching novel projects on than developing my own.
I have an interest in , but I feel like there's nothing left to do in that field. As I understand, the models are pretty much fixed, and it's more about acquiring data. I suppose that a PHD might be in the business of developing new models, or evolving existing models, but I'm not at that level, I have a bachelors degree.

old data pipeline, invoking python/scrapy and bash transformation commands. I had this idea to use NLP on Reddit headlines to find patterns.

It broke months ago, and I've been too lazy to fix it.
