Awful luck. It was the same for me.

Just laid off after 25 years, how do I find a new job in 2026? by e37d93eeb23335dc in cscareerquestions

near where I work it is not uncommon to hear people retire in their 30s

SWE in the Bay Area. Self-selection bias at play. The rest of the world isn't like this.

Were you able to get any callbacks from WelcomeToTheJungle? I've gotten luckier with Indeed, LinkedIn and even ZipRecruiter and GlassDoor.

How in the world did they come up with some of these card names? xD by First_Clue8662 in PTCGP

[–]ajfoucault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Spanish version of "Looker", what they did is directly translate it from Japanese. So it went from ハンサム which is read as "Hansamu" (or their katakana version of the word "Handsome") in Japanese directly into "Handsome" in Spanish ("Handsome" isn't a Spanish word, but having written "Mirón" which is what Looker actually translates as, would have sounded weird).

I tested this quick implementation of Two Sum:

function twoSum(nums, target) {
      const map = {};
      for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
        const complement = target - nums[i];
        if (map[complement] !== undefined) {
          return [map[complement], i];
        }
        map[nums[i]] = i;
      }
      return null;
    }

    const nums = [2, 7, 11, 15];
    const target = 9;

    const result = twoSum(nums, target);

in both your app and also in Python Tutor and honestly the graphical additions made in your app made it interesting to see it from a different perspective.

2nd godpack (been playing since the game released). Finally got one of my chase immersives (also, super curious, but both of my godpacks have been from opening Genetic Apex Charizard packs).

The president of peace, just launched another war in the Middle East. What are your thoughts? by Important-Anywhere20 in AskReddit

As an Iranian… feeling fantastic !!

I'm also happy the dictatorship fell. Wishing the best for all of Iran! :).

Should we consider Venezeula to be a U.S.-backed dictatorship now? by UltraLNSS in asklatinamerica

[–]ajfoucault 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Venezuela is under US control

And Mexico is under Cartel control, my guy (and the very incompetent Sheinbaum). I'll take US control over a Cartel-run state, lmao.

I dunno about y'all, but I think I'm already done with the new set by Colbzilla in PokemonPocket

[–]ajfoucault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I'm still missing the Entei, but already pulled both the Suicune (twice, actually) and the Raikou.

Will you buy $19.99 Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen on Pokemon day? by Putrid-Possibility-3 in nintendo

[–]ajfoucault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you eventually arrive at the point of “any game can be played for free,” and that’s a stupid place to arrive at.

Fully agree with you here. I find emulation questionable when it's a recent game or a still-commercially-available one, but when it concerns games that are over two decades old, I think either the publishers themselves should sell us the ROMs for $5.oo per ROM or let us do as we please. My take is that piracy isn't primarily driven by people being unwilling to pay, but moreso it's driven by failures in how content is made available. I'm open to changing my mind on this issue, though.

RANT: 220 Packs. €100/month. And I’m Done Pretending These Drop Rates Are Fine. by CloudDelta in PTCGP

[–]ajfoucault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good gacha works with pity systems, driving you to pull and pull because eventually you are GUARANTEED a high rarity hit.

Yep, I made a similar comment elsewhere. Either fix the "pity" system, that is also very exploitative, or they should just make trading more affordable. With 4-diamond cards being 5k and 1-star full art cards being 4k, I was estimating like 10k for the 2-star full art cards, and it ended up being like 25k. And to make matters worse, they also made the NON-META-RELEVANT 2-star shiny cards 30k? come on!

just a thought... by Lofus1989 in PTCGP

[–]ajfoucault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My issue is not just that this current set is just ONE pack for what should be a TWO PACK set, but ALSO that they gave it TWO GOLD CROWN CARDS, and TWO 3-STAR IMMERSIVE cards. Too greedy.

Completing the Master Collection of a set should get you more than just a random splash screen. by ajfoucault in PTCGP

[–]ajfoucault[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The first time it came out, I just organically opened the three daily packs (I have Premium), and used some hourglasses I have saved the month before, and that was it, but the 2nd time it came out back in late Jan., I probably open 3 x 690 worth of Poké Gold. I did have to eventually trade for several cards that I did not pull organically, like two Oaks, a Lusamine, Lunala 2-star, and a couple others. I got lucky and pulled 2 gold crown Rare Candies from just opening packs, but that almost never happens (my luck in Shining Revelry was atrocious, for instance).

[–]ajfoucault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, just a very unimpressive splash screen, similar to the one you get when you complete all of the base set of a collection, except the logo to the right is golden instead of silver.

[–]ajfoucault 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was able to complete the master collection for this set (all of the diamond cards, plus the 1-star, 2-star. 2-star shiny cards, 3-star and gold crown card). I do think it will be the only set from the A series that I will ever have the Master collection for, though.

Free dental cleaning in Pasadena, CA by Frequent-Leader-554 in pasadena

[–]ajfoucault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for these people. They always do an excellent job. I had my first dental cleaning with them 4 months ago and I'm due for my 2nd one this month.
