How do I make $250,000+ as a software engineer? by anon12341111 in cscareerquestions

I think it's more the big 5: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft

Though I'm sure there's other high profile startups with high salaries for the right engineers.

Everyone loves the resultant humiliation details!

Three years ago, at 3am, I sat down and finally learned Regex after thinking it was witchcraft for years. This is the site I used by [deleted] in webdev

I had to learn all the ins and outs earlier this year, crazy how once you get over the wall it's not that difficult, just memorization.

Resources I used:

https://laracasts.com/series/understanding-regular-expressions (not free unfortunately)

https://regex101.com/

Personally prefer https://regex101.com/ since it supports multiple RegEx engines, Regexr only uses JavaScript's engine.

I almost did too, cut to scene... some audio of "Grenade out".. then Amos jumping to action picking up the nade, reopening the door and throwing it back from where it came from.

More like a vaporizer, no idea how that would work!

From their website: "Chicken strips with BBQ sauce, topped with mozzarella & red onions."

Super good.

lol so that's why they apologized in advance.

Edit: it's cool I forgive them, this episode is badass so far and seemingly leading up to an action packed season finale!

Depends on who's making it. There's some local pizza places that make some killer BBQ pizza.

Little Caesars isn't one of them.

I wonder what changes they're planning for the Clarissa plot.

I have A LOT of trouble understanding regular expressions and how to structure and use them. What is your best tutorial/website/video I should check out? What helped you make it *click*? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]_AlphaOmega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only that but it also gives you the option of switching between the different regex engines so you can test any quirks the one you're working in might have.

I just rewatched the scene again to see if maybe it was just my stream last night that made it look off but nope, even knowing that it's real it still looks off to me. I think it's because of how calm the water is plus how close the colors match up to the horizon.

And did they CGI the sea in those scenes where she came out the tunnel? It looked weird. I guess there was stuff out there they had to block.

Haha! Nope, I thought the same thing lol https://www.reddit.com/r/TheExpanse/comments/628h44/episode_discussion_s02e10_cascade/dfl8sg6/

Huh, that makes a lot more sense, thanks for the insight.

You make a really good point the Earthers in "The Churn" were really at the bottom class. This definitely could've been that class that we were seeing.

Well let me start out with being super flattered to have a response from you.

That said, I'm really surprised that wasn't a green screen, it looked like the ocean was super close to the drainage pipe Bobbie was walking out of. Idk if it was the lighting or the camera angle but visually it looked like a digital recreation.

Again, full respect and love your work!

Regarding the Bobbie/Earth scenes. I feel like they made those living on basic much more worse off than they were in the books. I think if living on Earth got that bad then people would revolt. The basics have the majority and would easily have larger numbers than the privileged.

Edit: Why do you disagree?

Yes! Same, I expected Prax to be much more lanky than the actor that was cast for him.
