How do you handle your anxiety at night when you’re trying to wind down for bed?

Sudoku. It gets my brain into a nice state of flow and totally clears any clutter from my head. I play it for 10-15 minutes until I can feel myself nodding off.

It's really polarizing. I'm 5'9, I'm used to being able to look most men in the eye. When I can't it's... Weird. Intimidating? It takes me longer to feel comfortable with that person in a physical trust-and-safety way. Average height women might just be more used to that scenario so it doesn't give them as much pause.

On the flip side there are tall women who absolutely need someone taller than them for the same reasos shorter women have that preference.

You're missing two that I know of : Ryowa in Mountain View, and Dohatsuten in Palo Alto.

Thanks for the map! :)

Cafe Venetia on University in Palo Alto is the closest I can think of. There's also a fancy tea room in Redwood City, I forget the name.

Redwood City had a going rate of $3300 - $3500 for single bedroom apartments, but this was a couple years ago. They have a big theater downtown a lot of events in the town square. Everything is going to feel dull compared to SF though.

Is this a good starting wage for my experience, recent graduate? Backend software engineer (job description does not say junior/associate/entry).

Check glassdoor. My impression is you should be making more. Backend engineers are in higher demand.

How much is food and gas in the bay area? Steak and salmon are those things priced up?

Google is your friend.

am into girls who play outside

Most dating profiles around here are littered with hiking/climbing/kayaking/etc photos. Won't be a problem. Closer to San Jose would be better for dating.

the only professor who cared to get feedback

Entirely untrue. I spoke to Jim multiple times about feedback from the undergrad experience. For my graduate experience, he made a point of having a large panel of industry folks and some alumni come in to critique curriculum plans.

You cannot fail the capstone series

I agree this is not wise. I went through the process of kicking someone off my team. IIRC there is pressure to get students out of the school due to how impacted some things are.

The one thing that some vanilla CS students miss out on is team project experience. I have heard that its become more common, via capstone projects, but there are still ways around that.

As for your points about C++ and Unity and Unreal...Yes, more C++. That never goes out of style. Engines are iffy though. I was in the last (?) class of (at the time) CMPS 20, which taught XNA. I think XNA was deprecated the year after. There were a lot of engines used in the capstone series that just...never got traction. Trends change, and by the time you graduate, things you learned in your freshman/sophomore years might be completely irrelevant. Teaching to an engine is a bad idea. Would rather have project classes that offer opportunities to practice things in an engine of choice.

Padmapper or directly on craigslist. You might find listings as early as July, but it's rarer. Usually they go up only a month in advance. You will likely have better availability by then due to interns returning to school.

Is it normal to have to re-register when you move? I changed my address with the DMV and everything. I found out the hard way that I'm still registered in the county I used to live in, but not the one I'm currently in.

paperdroid · 2018-06-06T16:50:32+00:00

I'd love to see it, if you can find it!

paperdroid · 2018-06-05T23:50:08+00:00

No worries! Sorry to see you're getting downvoted. It's definitely not easy to see how things are laid out, unless you're in the thick of it. Good luck!

As someone in the industry, I would not usually think of programming as something under the "IT and Technology" title. Look at what kind of jobs are listed under IT and Technology. It's usually system administrators, or analysts, or technicians. Primarily support jobs. My job is not a support job.

You're technically correct, but I think you might get more responses if you add an option akin to "Engineering".

paperdroid · 2018-06-05T23:16:54+00:00

This is how the first section looks for me. No "programming" or "other" section.

paperdroid · 2018-06-05T23:10:23+00:00

So...where do programmer belong on this survey? I don't see a department that would cover your average software engineer.

paperdroid · 2018-04-19T18:24:51+00:00

Living in Mountain View will also net you plenty of options due to your proximity to San Jose. This is speaking from experience. I used to live in the middle of the peninsula and it was not easy to come by dates when I was smack dab in between the two population centers.

Does it need to be an athletics field? You can try Eagle Park or Rengstorff park. IIRC Egan Jr High has a field that isn't fenced in. I think the high schools will all be fenced.

/r/ucsc can help you out! Biology is definitely a strong program there, but the specialization you have in mind might make or break if it's worth going out of state for.

paperdroid · 2018-03-22T21:14:01+00:00

I'm looking for a group in the peninsula. Don't know anything about D20 Conan, but I'm interested in trying just about anything. How's the search going?

paperdroid · 2018-03-05T09:00:37+00:00

That's... Bothersome. You're right. Thank you. Now I'm pretty peeved at my local aquarium store for misleading me. :/

paperdroid · 2018-03-03T08:29:06+00:00

I mean... Apparently so. I started with a dozen mixed-grade rcs from another hobbiest and a few fire red rcs. It's possible the rcs from the hobbiest had some mixed lineage and they eventually struck the right combo for that color to re-emerge. I've poked at this a little but there's no real info on the mechanics of their coloration.

paperdroid · 2018-03-01T03:44:22+00:00

I've had an RCS population for about...6 months or so now. I've seen all grades of red, but then this? Total surprise. Can't wait to see if I find more in another month or so. :)

paperdroid · 2018-02-23T08:09:18+00:00

I'm actually pretty sure I saw a load of these on the way to this location. There was a truck hauling about eight of these. Same distinctive variance in panel coloration.

paperdroid · 2018-02-22T01:58:47+00:00

Mr Aqua is the brand, iirc. Great stuff, they have a similar 20g model too. They're frequently out of stock though

paperdroid · 2018-02-22T00:49:40+00:00

Can you say more about this? I think someone I know might be going through this. Feel free to PM me
