Yes? And the sweater the OP wore was an anime sweater

Perhaps the only thing she ever contributed of value to literature was Anthem, which is the archetype for the young adult post-apocalyptic fantasy novel. However, the prose is so strained; every pronoun in "we" or "us" and nobody has names so she names a woman with blonde hair "The Golden One" like she's some kind of "chosen one" prophet.

Still, I think it would make an excellent basis for other stories if you just let the MC go back to collectivist town and blast the council away with some gun he found in the ruins or something

Look fuck Donald Trump but surely you must realize this comic is so far up its own ass it's going to become a right wing meme when they finally see it

I could but I'd still be getting the same Firefox which has a nagging incentive to cooperate with advertisers and google. The benefit of having to pay for software is that their revenue stream comes directly from me and not from a 3rd party. It's not about supporting the developer for me, it's about knowing that the product I pay for is the product I get

If its an application I run locally, I rarely grep logs (they're small enough that I can just ctrl+f). If it's something running in production with millions of lines of logs, then I agree

I wish all the logs at my company were as beautiful as these terminal logs

Sure, look at their personal projects. I'm just saying the maintainability and quality of the code and speed of iteration is more of the point than how impressive the math is behind an ML algorithm. I've just seen a lot of ML engineers/data scientists who really suck at writing maintainable code

I got a simple Casio for my birthday and I don't think I'll ever need another watch, unless I lose this one. People say "oh it tracks how many steps I took today", but I don't know why I would need to know that information

I know I'm in the minority but I would pay yearly to use Firefox. Not sure how much I'd pay, but I am getting into the habit of purchasing software instead of allowing it to purchase me

I honestly don't think that doing these cool things improves your odds of getting hired. Junior Devs don't really touch these parts of a platform, let alone lead development on them from scratch.

A valuable engineer, to me, is someone who writes clean, maintainable code and follows common patterns. That's also something which has to be learned by trial and error to actually see the value of.

 
 

I work remote, but occasionally have to travel to New York City for in-office events. During these events I sit in a conference room with the rest of my team all day. We usually have a team dinner planned during the week or something.

Tuesday I got into New York and later that night we went out to dinner. This ended up going until 10:30pm, which is pretty late for me (I usually am in bed by 10). It was also announced that day that we would go bowling today (Wednesday). After a day of sitting in a conference room for 8 straight hours, I really didn't feel like going out with my coworkers or drinking beer til 10 or 11 at night. I told my coworkers I was going to skip it because I wanted to go to the gym and I made something up about having to file my taxes by tonight, but I think they generally understood that I just didn't want to go.

I also was never explicitly invited; we were just told "we are going bowling on Wednesday", so I think there was the expectation that I go, but I strongly feel that nobody should be obligated to go to an after-work event (especially since I already went to one).

How would you handle the situation? How do you get out of these kinds of events?
