Here is a list of questions people usually ask me.
|
|
|
|
* General
|
|
** Why your website is like this ?
|
|
I value simplicity. The purpose of this website is to share my thoughts and research with others and not
|
|
to impress them with a shiny and heavy good looking website.
|
|
** Where can I find your CV ?
|
|
You can find my CV [[https://dl.lxsameer.com/CV/SameerRahmani.pdf][Here]], I try to keep it up to date ( Not always though :D ).
|
|
** How do you keep up with your work and research ?
|
|
I use [[https://orgmode.org/][org-mode]] to manage my life mostly, But beside that I have priorities in my life and when things come to
|
|
my way I process them based on my priorities. For example I love to play the Guitar but as long as I have time for
|
|
it and it doesn't interfier with my priorities.
|
|
|
|
I usually partition my days into chunks of two days time and dedicate the main goal of each chunks to a cetain
|
|
project that I have to work on. It makes the context switch less painfull. BTW I use [[https://orgmode.org/][org-mode]] to take notes and
|
|
track my progress in my research and project and also when I read books.
|
|
** What do you do for fun ?
|
|
Usually video games, Anime music and sports.
|
|
|
|
* Engineering
|
|
|
|
** What GNU/Linux distro do you use ?
|
|
I used to use Debian unstable for 14 years. But I moved to Gentoo just because I care about my security and I
|
|
hate Systemd.
|
|
|
|
** What editor/IDE do you use ?
|
|
I use my own editor, [[https://devheroes.codes/FG42/FG42][FG42]] which is based on on the mighty [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][GNU/Emacs]] and publicly available under GPLv2 license.
|
|
|
|
** What desktop environment/window manager do you use?
|
|
Again, I use editor [[https://devheroes.codes/FG42/FG42][FG42]] for that purpose as well. I boot directly into my editor and manage everything from there.
|
|
|
|
** What's your favorite programming language ?
|
|
I don't have any bias toward any specific language, But I've found the Lisp family to be really good.
|
|
|
|
** Have you studied Software engineering in college ?
|
|
No
|
|
|
|
** How can I improve as an engineer ?
|
|
I'm not an advisor and frankly I'm somewhere in my own journey and far from the end. But I can give one piece of
|
|
advise. Whatever you do, try to be scientificly literate.
|
|
|
|
** Where is your hang out place up on the internet ?
|
|
I'm an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat][IRC]] user and I usually hang out in the irc://libera.chat/#5hit channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Science
|
|
** What do you do in Science ?
|
|
Physics
|
|
** What is your field of study ?
|
|
Quantum field theory
|
|
** I though you're an engineer, What's your deal?
|
|
Well, I love physics. Simply I want to know more. The universe baffles me.
|
|
** What do you suggest to those who want to start in science ?
|
|
I'm not an advisor and even not a top notch scientist, So I can't give you any good advise, But I share my own
|
|
experience with you. The most important thing is to keep an open mind, always think like us humans are not
|
|
the center of universe and finally learn algebra.
