Wow, thanks for listing me as a personal website that you love! It'll give me some motivation to write new blog posts. For anyone curious it's the aryaboudaie.com one

Not true how substantiated this is, but I heard one of the reasons for moving Turkey away from the traditional script is to make it so people can't read texts about the Armenian genocide. Truly chilling stuff :(

This is what I use to watch The Bachelorette every week without paying $40/month for YT TV. Thanks Stanford!

The GitHub is also very interesting - pretty good code for an academic website.

My heart breaks for these devs. I've been able to launch a successful development career specifically because I was born in the US (and my parents left Iran). If I was the same person in a different geographic area I'd be struggling under sanctions.

Companies definitely need to push back on extra egregious legal teams who want to block services Iran, as it's mostly paranoia and not that the services actually fall under the jurisdiction of our sanctions. I know amazing people at Google who are doing this work, and I hope others at other companies do the same.

You provide a good depiction of the current state but that still does not explain why some person that has as much as 100'000 others do is inherently a bad thing.

Is it really that hard to see that people having more wealth than they can spend in a lifetime while others can't afford healthcare is an issue?

After graduating college, I really wanted to be a CS teacher, but the finances and logistics just didn't make sense at all. My current goal is to save up enough money where I don't have to rely on a teacher's salary (or have to worry about getting fired should I not bow down to an administrator), and then start looking.
