If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.
Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)—it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.
A professional degree is historically different from an academic degree though. Math, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science—these typically produce (well compensated!) professionals, but they are not professional schools.
I am professional; I get paid to do the kinds of things that I did in grad school. But afaik no one would say I hold a professional degree.
All of this is besides the point of course—our student loan system shouldn’t disqualify people based on these sorts of semantics.
I was interpreting the quoted text as encompassing all engineering fields, e.g., EE, mechanical, computer, etc.
If that’s not the case and this is for specific professional engineering degrees then yep, I certainly agree with you.

This is actually the one that I would agree with (edit: see below), if the difference is “professional” vs. “academic.” I certainly wouldn’t call a natural science degree professional, and if you’re in a research institution studying some form of engineering I’d probably put you in the same category. Just my experience/opinion though (and the rest of the exclusions are super stupid, I agree).
Edit: from the replies, this is referring to Professional Engineering; in my corner of the world, “Engineer” is an overloaded term that generally means electrical, mechanical, software, and sometimes computer engineer. My comment was referring to these engineers, who are rarely licensed and study alongside scientists in school. I completely agree with parent in the context of “professional engineering” (I mean…it’s right there in the name…).
Daniel Radcliffe used this to his advantage—same outfit, and the paparazzi stopped bothering him:
It was three or four months. Because I was doing a play in London and every night there was paparazzi outside. And I suddenly realized after like after I just had just been lazy and not changed my clothes for a few days, that they were not there. And I realized it’s probably because I’m wearing the same thing so it all looks like photos from the same day. So I was like ‘I’ll just continue wearing this.’ And they never came back because it all looks like the same picture in front of the same door.
If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it’s Oracle, so…).
Sadly not really. I use the free tier Oracle, which honestly has worked very well, but I’m not going to recommend using Oracle aside to say that it functionally works for me.
If I were to switch I would probably go to racknerd.
Yes, but you can run multiple VPS, from different providers, simultaneously.
What I like is that while it does depend on an external provider, it doesn’t depend on a specific external provider. Any VPS with a public IPv4 would work.
VPS+VPN (WireGuard for me), with Tailscale as an emergency alternative, has worked very well for me. Knock on wood the only outages have been my own fault.
VPS+VPN, this is what I do.
VPS has public IP and runs WireGuard “server”* and a reverse proxy (and fail2ban…). Reverse proxy points to my home computer over the WireGuard link. No open ports on my home router.
For private facing/LAN-only services I just don’t have an entry in the VPS reverse proxy. DNS on the router points everything to my local server, so if at home I access everything directly. To access internal services remotely requires VPN (i.e., WireGuard to the VPS).
Works well; I have a tiny free tier VPS but even so, no complaints.
*Yes I know there are no wg clients or servers, only peers, but it plays a server-likr role.
In a VHCOL area, $100k with one child is extremely tough/you’re likely dipping into savings. Our daycare alone is over $40k/yr per kid, and only $5k ($7500 next year) is fully tax exempt.
Median 2 bedroom in my area is over $50k/yr.
$100k doesn’t cut it. “Just move to a cheaper area” is IMHO not a proper response to this—anyone who works in my city should be able to afford to raise a family here, with a high quality of life/standard of living, but that’s not really the case.
Economically mediated de facto sterilization is an extremely dystopian thing to just accept. I think it’s pretty justified to be more or less outraged in this case.
Edit: as pointed out below, these numbers are for type 1 and 2, so the population is requiring insulin is much lower than this.
Among the U.S. population overall, crude estimates for 2021 were:
• 38.4 million people of all ages—or 11.6% of the U.S. population—had diabetes.
• 38.1 million adults aged 18 years or older—or 14.7% of all U.S. adults—had diabetes (Table 1a; Table 1b).
https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/php/data-research/index.html
Sure, the majority of folks don’t have diabetes, but come on, this affects a huge number of people, and I would bet that a vast, vast majority of people at least know someone with diabetes.
And yes, those are national whereas this is California—but it’s also about changing hearts and minds. When someone from Texas, struggling to pay for their kid’s insulin, learns about this, they might just question some things.
Except on the Linux systems I’ve used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).
I think that’s what the meme is trying to get at.

*Turmeric. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen someone forget the first R I’d have like three nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but still kinda interesting.
Never said that at all. I’ve had some fantastic food in England.
Oh please. The US has many problems, and there are food deserts to be sure — but go to a first class US city and you’ll find great food.
Good on CO. I’m in California and not eligible — I hope we do the same and/or the WA-OR-CA vaccine pact that’s been mentioned elsewhere comes to the rescue.
But not the ocean!
