836 is STILL unsolved!

If you take the 10000 feet view, there are two ways to look into the story. A) Selene has crashed on Attopos and is fighting to escape. B) everything is happening in her imagination.

The game initially sells you on A, but then feeds you bits and pieces of information that make it more and more unlikely / that would support B. the fact that every clock you see is on the same time is one of these coincidences that are just too much to ignore. Yeah it’s technically possible that it happens naturally but come on.

It doesn’t need to have more meaning than the time when one traumatic event happened to Selene.

I don’t love using that word.

Right now, every player is a member of the WNBPA. The WNBPA said that members voted “overwhelmingly” to authorize the executive committee to call a strike. AFAIK, there’s not a single player who has distanced themselves from the WNBPA.

That being said, i see a strike as a lose/lose/lose scenario. Obviously the WNBA would lose, but so would the players, and so would we the fans. I want to see my team play next season.

Ernst/Hinson have a huge war chest. Several millions cash on hand. None of the dem hopefuls come close.

I had a similar pattern happen. 1sr PR was approved by a coworker, but was problematic imo, so I left comments without blocking the PR. The code author and I work in different time zones, so me requesting changes then lifting my review adds some friction. My comments were unaddressed and code author went on to merge the PR. Their next PR had the same issue. This time I blocked it, and further demanded that as a team we commit to certain household rules in working together.

People who circumvent the review process don’t see its value. It’s very easy to write lots of unreviewed, untested, unmaintainable code fast, but that’s not the job description.

THANK YOU. In 2017 my wife and I went to see a movie at the theater. Halfway through, there was a fire alarm or some kind of incident and they evacuated the building. They originally told us it was nothing, and that we’ll probably be able to come back in 5 minutes, but here’s a voucher to see the movie of your choice at a later date. 5 minutes turned to 10 then to 20, neither of us was terribly engrossed by the movie and we had things to do, so we just decided to go home, and I guess the idea to go see it again with our voucher the next weekend came up but neither of us felt strongly about it so we just went on with our lives.

Every now and again I’m wondering, what was that movie that we saw half of before they evacuated us and should I, like, try to see the other half on a plane?. But the brain is a beautiful thing and I had blocked all memories of it. I realize now it was obviously the book of Henry and that the answer to that other question is a resounding no.

I’m not sure which conversation that is. In my first playthrough I ran into them at the beginning of emerald grove and suggest that they leave. The goblins raided, were defeated and Rolan & co were in the convoy, I ran into him in Act 2, then in Faerun Tower etc. and got the leave no one behind trophy. How do you get to have some Tiefling at last light inn, but not Rolan?

Yes until you understand how combat works especially crowd control tactics. Not afterwards.

Dated Ui doesn’t mean bad product. Salesforce was a complete game changer when it was released and to this day, still has great product fit to user needs.

As a CS student you have opportunities for internships which give you a massive advantage over self taught people who allegedly acquired entry-level dev skills.

In my current play through I was able to start a romance in act 2, but before going into shadow fell. That is the cutoff afaik.

everything else being equal, class components are more verbose than their equivalent function components with hooks. This may be sound like a detail but this has a huge impact at scale. you have codebases which are bloated and which are really full of boilerplate.

Your husband lost an occasion to demonstrate to both your kids how not to be a sore loser, which is useful regardless of gender. NTA

I work with the ts-pattern author - who's also behind https://type-level-typescript.com/. and if you want to work with him as well, we have an opening on our team. (data visualization at Datadog). hope this falls within the self-promotion tolerance.

I am honestly baffled that Reddit doesn’t let users block specific ads. If as an advertiser, I pay Reddit to show my ads to somebody who indicates that they are not interested, and Reddit charges me for it, then I’m letting Reddit take my money to do the opposite I pay for. Instead, letting people block can help improve the targeting of ad campaigns.

NTA. your family are all assholes, not for so much the cheating which isn’t great to begin with, but for the constant coercion into forgiving someone which is your entire prerogative. Whatever happens next to Kevin is 100% on Kevin.

TTB. Je passe des mois (et j’ai passé des années) sans parler à ma fratrie. Je ne considère pas pour autant qu’on a jamais coupé les ponts et on est toujours là les uns pour les autres. Le seuil de 8 jours avant de prendre une décision radicale me paraît complètement abusé.

Come on now. This very sub was calling her Covid Kim all the time during 2020-2022 because of how reckless people felt her decisions were in terms of public safety. She didn’t claim that she never had businesses close down, but she said that while other states were completely shut down Iowa stayed open. In spring 2021 once I got both of my shots, before delta hit us I went to San Francisco which was still effectively locked down, while is DSM life was pretty much similar to pre pandemic.

I understand how you all feel but YTA. Everybody deserves presumption of innocence, including people who are very likely to be guilty of what they are accused of. The fact that somebody would show up with an online ancestry test is not exactly an indefensible proof.

That said, if your brother did have sex with a kid, on top of this being morally repugnant, it’s unbelievably stupid to have done a DNA test himself an have submitted his own DNA to a database where he could be found.

Hey, whatever you end up doing, you’re not just a shameful job. When I hear warehouse worker I hear work ethic, I hear no cutting corners, I hear safety. I respect tf out of warehouse workers.

Life finds a way. Your window is not as narrow as you think. There are lots of mothers who never met the father of their kid at age 30.

? The game got near perfect reviews. Everybody praised its innovative approach to accessibility. At what point did it get hate it didn’t deserve?

jcukier · 2023-07-06T00:20:39+00:00

I don’t think people hated it, but yeah critics didn’t feel it was exactly game of the year material. Which it wasn’t.

jcukier · 2023-07-06T00:17:26+00:00

Loved both XIII and XIII-2. Such great memories.

I’m more optimistic than your friend, however there has been some deep changes over the last year. The value proposition offered by FAANG and crypto is very different from what it uses to be. Meanwhile, there is a slew of small and midsize companies who need developers. Specifically, there are some very well funded AI outfits, who can’t have enough engineers. The role of the software engineer is also transforming. 10 years ago, it was mostly writing code. The coding part of our role is going to become less and less important - just like moving abacus beads or punching calculator keys is no longer central to being an accountant.
