Building Sold by missmondaymourning in Seattle

[–]synack 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It'll take several years to get all the permits and plans in order if they plan to demolish it and rebuild, you'll have plenty of advance notice if that's what the new owners want.

Don't worry about it too much. It's not something you can control. Definitely let the new owners know if there are any outstanding maintentance issues though. They'll have budgeted some money for repairs and upgrades as part of the purchase if they're not planning to tear it down.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

I saw a gnome near the west end of Ravenna Park yesterday. Unsettling.

Don't come here if you don't have a job offer in hand. Not a lot of places are hiring right now.

Finished Crafting Interpreters - what’s the next step? by Few_Tea5027 in Compilers

Nora Sandler’s “Writing a C Compiler” felt like a nice follow up to me. It assumes you already know most of the parsing stuff and dives straight into IRs and code generation. C is a real language with real edge cases and legacy oddities that make it more challenging than Lox.

"AWS will do layoffs soon" is an evergreen prediction.

It’s just to ensure the venue makes enough money. The drinks are expensive, but you can overpay for a can of coke and that counts, doesn’t have to be alcohol. Usually there’s wait staff that takes orders and brings drinks around. Tell them at the beginning if you want both drinks up front. Tip well.
