I love that I can easily correct and annotate bike lanes

At least in my faang office, there’s essentially zero ports to plug into. If you have a desktop, there’s a port, but that’s the exception. I’ve never seen anyone plug a laptop in.

They mostly don’t even give out desktops to devs these days, everything is in the cloud.

Typical dues are 1-2% of pay

It’s mostly software engineers, and distributed across almost every team.

These layoffs didn’t happen because Google is out of money. It’s insanely profitable.

Left libertarianism was first… But nowadays it only exists to “well actually” people with, at least in the US.

Ironically, as I’ve become more senior (11+ years at a faang company) I’ve had to do less and less of that “look around and understand everything” work because of time pressure. But I rely on my experience to be more confident that I can ignore the details and focus on the reason I’m in this file.

Well, that, and if it gets too messy I give up and call in a junior engineer…

You good, man? You good?

Cigarette butts, the thing op is complaining about, are not mostly ash. They’re mostly plastic. Not cool to litter.

Constant capitalist and corporatist propaganda: I sleep

A single anticapitalist idea: real shit?

https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/11/a-chemical-hunger-part-ii-current-theories-of-obesity-are-inadequate/ is a good analysis of why calories in calories out is both true and not a good model for how weight gain/loss works in people.

This is true today but for a while in the 20th century 伊 was used for “she”

Ok but in writing you do, at least if you’re my college professors and want to make your students sad

他 third person singular, neutral 她 she 它 it (non-human, especially inanimate) 牠 it (animal) 祂 third person singular (divine)

Came here to post this. Sure seems like states are the problem here…

If we assume portals obey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_invariance, then there’s no difference between “the tram|portal is moving and the people are stationary” and “the tram|portal is stationary and the people are moving.” The outcome should be the same.

This is because your operands are const char[]. That’s not a std::string.

C++ does, but it’s not a very efficient operation. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/operator%2B

“well actually” room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! … But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature superconductivity in hydrides.pdf

Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.

I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.
