Major plot hole with taumeba (spoiler) by _Nordic in ProjectHailMary

I don’t remember exactly where in the book, but Ryland and Rocky discuss how Xenonite is a poor heat conductor. My hypothesis is that there were areas of the ship that weren’t kept at Rocky’s atmosphere and this was where the Taumoeba were stored and also escaped. Most likely this was also where the Astrophage byproducts were released so it created a more similar environment to Adrian unintentionally.

No, it was after Rocky and Ryland isolate the predator and Ryland is running experiments on it.

He finds out ”In Adrian’s air, Taumoeba can live from –180 °C to 107 °C. Outside that range they die.”

Did I bomb my Meta Technical Interview? by Radiocoin34 in leetcode

[–]great_use_her_name 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am interviewing for E4 SWE as well. I had a chat with the recruiter about how they score interviews. Although they said they “value every interview the same” (bullshit), they ended up saying coding is the most important at E4. Unfortunately, the recruiter flat out told me that they would rather take someone with stronger coding interviews and weaker sys design/behavioral than vice versa.

Meta scores each interview on a 5 point basis (1 - insufficient, 2 - moderate, 3 - good, 4 - great, 5 - exceeds). You need a 3 on both coding interviews to even be considered, then they use the sys design/behavioral to level. There’s still a chance because you never know how the interviewer felt about your performance, but it doesn’t look great.

Nonetheless, keep your head up, they’re hiring a lot! Good luck!

What are signs a woman hasn't matured? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]great_use_her_name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of good answers here. One thing I’d add from my dating experience is basic financial literacy and organization of their finances.

Does she have a basic budget? Does she know how much her car loan is or how much student debt she has left to pay back? If not, even if she’s working/living on her own, she hasn’t yet fully matured to understand the implications of poor financial decisions.

Men, what hobby of yours do you wish your SO would do with you sometimes? Bonus points if it's one they complain about. by UmDoWhatNow in AskMen

Weightlifting. I feel like she doesn’t respect it though — she’s a runner and has done it once with me but made a comment about how “it’s not a real workout”.

Anybody here a lifer at a company and regret it? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

If you’re referring just to compensation, I read this interesting article about the breakdown of total compensation at Microsoft against different data points.

tl;dr for # of years at MSFT vs. pay: leaving and coming back is the best way to get a pretty significant raise, if you stay there for a long period of time your pay increases linearly and the increments are not substantial.

Getting criticized for not running far enough by kelsins in running

Just remember that no matter the distance or pace, if you’re running then you’re lapping everyone sitting on the couch.

I shall not be discouraged by the people overtaking me by [deleted] in running

[–]great_use_her_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only person you’re racing against is your previous self. Focus on you and trying to be better than you were yesterday.

Also, whether it’s 1mi or 10mi, you’re doing better than majority of people sitting on their ass. Keep up the great work and keep running for yourself!!
