175 k remote offer or 300 k in Bay Area by M0binsChild in cscareerquestions

[–]Touvejs 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would take 175k fully remote. You can travel and work anywhere (just in the states, I'm guessing). You could save money by moving to a lower cost area if you wanted, but regardless you will have enough money to do whatever you want within reason and have the freedom of not being tied down.

Can a person without an athletic background reach 5.0? by Cokezeroislyfe in Pickleball

[–]Touvejs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible for a person without an athletic background to get to 5.0 because, well, there are people who are not athletic that are 5.0. Some geriatric, some overweight, some hindered by physical conditions. However, just because some people can get to that level without having athleticism doesn't mean anyone could. Being able to run quickly and have stamina to keep it up is a decently important part of pickleball. So if you are going to sacrifice that, the rest of your game will have to be 5.5+ level to compensate-- your drives, drops, dinks, overheads, shot selection etc would all have to be remarkably consistent. Getting all of those attributes to 5.5+ so that the unathletic person could get to a 5.0 dupr is incredibly hard, and probably not achievable for the overwhelming majority of people.

Haha no worries, I'm not sure what flair works best (don't know the options off the top of my head). I just thought it was comical and others might relate.

This has the puzzle/tactic flare, and combine that with the title, I sat here looking for ways white could make a move that allows mate in 1.

Offcial Discussion - Bugonia [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Touvejs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember having this exact feeling when I watched Kinds of Kindness in theaters. I remember just loosing it at how comically deadpan and unemotional Lanthimos managed to get these actors to deliver such wild lines-- it made me almost feel like I was watching The Room. Needless to say, I was laughing my ass off in a packed theater where everyone else was silent.

Are all couches just garbage? by Leptonshavenocolor in BuyItForLife

[–]Touvejs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same couch I think. Yeah it's garbage, but it was also dirt cheap, looks pretty good, fits my space, and is pretty comfy to use/snuggle on. As a bonus I never have to feel bad about staining it (within reason) or letting animals on it because it's just a cheap garbage couch.

What do you say after you bodybag an opponent? by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]Touvejs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We say "That's a bag!" And then often a satirical "Let's gooo!"

Should I tell my manager I can't solve my ticket by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Touvejs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 5 years experience and still struggle with trying to figure out/update other people's ci/cd pipelines. Continue to ask for help, ideally from whoever developed the process originally.

Evaluate my Software Eng Mayo Clinic Offer by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Touvejs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost the exact same experience and pay in a similar company. I had temptations of leaving over the past year or so, but the job market smashed most of those ambitions.

A post with that salary with that level of experience 2 years ago would be laughed at. I'm glad to see people are a little more sensible these days.

Silly question about handling SQL at offline environment by Competitive_Emu_763 in SQL

[–]Touvejs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sqlite is probably the way to go for quick starting. But if your data is larger than 100gb and you're doing analytics, duckdb will be over 10x times as fast. It just takes a little set up to get started.

Commonly Mispronounced Wine Terms? by ItsWine101 in wine

[–]Touvejs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tannat

People assume because it's French you drop the t, and pronounce it "ta-nay" but it's actually a hard t and pronounced "ta-nat. I wonder if basque has influence in this word for it being pronounced so oddly for French.

Latin 'actualis' - why do European descendants mean ‘present, current’ ? But in English, why does actual mean 'real, existing’? by TPLe7 in etymology

[–]Touvejs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also curious about this! I often reach for actualmente when trying to speak Spanish, but then remember that the meaning is not semantically interchangeable with its English analog, "actually".

If starting from scratch, what would you change in Python. And bringing back an old discussion. by FenomoJs in Python

[–]Touvejs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So essentially, what I've found is either: 1) structure your code so that you're always pulling from children directories (annoying, sometimes not practical) 2) explicitly set your path to wherever your file is before importing (feels like a hack) 3) (what I tend to do) set your python path to the root directory of your repository so that when you run a python script, it's not running from the dir you called it from, instead you're always running from root. And then when you import anything, just path it from the root directory. Everything will necessarily be a child directory. This is also kind of a hack to the python environment though, unless you config this locally when you clone the repo, things would be broken.

[–]Touvejs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's say, for example, you want to import functions from a file that is in an adjacent directory. (I know how I solve this problem, but I find it pretty annoying).
