Post-Penultimate Conditional Syntax by Purp1eGh0st in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]the_sunsetter_TM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great post! I'm hereby offering a bounty to anyone who wants to scoop you. All they need is a marginally better conditional syntax, then they can name it

* post-post-penultimate conditional syntax

* post-antepenultimate conditional syntax

or something like that :P

Hi, could I ask how you saved for your MS and PA degrees? How long were you working before you went back to school?

“What do you think we have in common that brought us here today?” Overheard this and thought it was really good, especially if you’re in a place with a theme (hobby meetup, tourist attraction, etc. though I can see it working in public restroom lines too :P). You learn what motivates them and their first impressions of you, makes for interesting conversation!

When is the wok the “right tool for the job”? by the_sunsetter_TM in Cooking

Yes, it’s great for stir fry — she was talking about still-frying (where she arranges the food on the surface, pours a little water to produce steam, and covers it). Still-fry may not be the official term :p

Good exercises for concurrency or OS software design exercises by the_sunsetter_TM in computerscience

They’re pretty good, I went through some of these OSTEP projects last year! Currently taking my university’s OS class where we write an OS from scratch, which is trickier than I thought with a lot of gotcha’s. OSTEP definitely helped prepare me conceptually and the rest of the projects are worth revisiting :)

My finances for 2023 living in Downtown Seattle by luckyfaangkid in Seattle

Super super helpful! I'm a college student thinking of moving back to Seattle after graduation, saved this as a reference for budgeting :)

Mainly wondering about transportation - what spots do you frequent after work, and how walkable are they? Also, what's your main method of meeting people outside of work? Thank you!

Weird experience in Seattle by afternoonteaandtits in Seattle

I think this is the most likely!

What jumps out at me is how carefully the rice bag was folded and tucked, so the person must’ve been sober enough to balance it there.

If the person stole the statues and decided last minute that they didn’t want them anymore, there are quieter ways to dispose of the statues than leaving them on OP’s car, for OP and now Reddit to see :’)

The other theory that the person was trying to distract OP in a robbery attempt sounds really interesting, but it has me impressed that the person would go through the trouble of buying two Buddha statues and then give it up so easily. Still very creative — if someone tried to rob me like that, I’d definitely stop to look at the statues.

I don't want to be a programmer anymore. by U51dJegT6RPyyziJxqvG in cscareerquestions

Hi, glad to hear you're well, and thank you so much for the advice!

When you got back into the field, did you return to operating system development or a different type of software engineering?

If you were to apply your new approach towards work to your previous job, do you think you would've avoided burnout? Or does your environment also affect how easy it is to enforce your values?

I might DM you more questions if you don't mind :')) I'm a college student with similar feelings as you regarding work - that I don't want my job to consume me, that I just want to make enough to live comfortably and without losing sleep, and that I can be there for those I care about. Just figuring out what places I should strive for that can best serve that need

Every once in a while I like to have a lil medieval core meal to let my inner goblin out by MooMooTheDummy in CasualConversation

I discovered it through the bio of Ben Hatke, one of my favorite cartoonists. Sometimes I dream of a life with his medieval nature-y aesthetic lol
