Being a couple is 1.5x more expensive than being single.

It's because if you're in a relationship, you're considered a more valuable member of the society. Because it signals that someone has selected you to be around for a prolonged amo…

Good point. Whenever I see a job ad advertising C/C++ together, it's basically saying "we do C with objects".

I miss C++ a lot. The modern standard library is a thing of beauty IMO. Such a shame that I could not find a good gig when I was looking few months ago, at least not where I am. Lo…

It's a problem IRL, too. I am astonished by how much disinterested people are in each other. I am very good at keeping a conversation going, I become genuinely interested in the pe…

Probably was before Tinder, even.

Now everyone has a TV in their pockets with infinite ads. IG, FB, Tinder, etc.

I am not surprised. She somehow was able to bleed her employees dry for business benefits. People at power love someone like that. Of course they're not gonna let her go so easily.…

This advice is throttled around here. There is an implication to this: if you're bald, you're fucking screwed as a man. Attractiveness would not be achievable.

Also, unattractive people would feel like shit in this environment.

beauty is not achievable.

Unfortunately I don't play games myself. But Anno 1800 is something my very good colleague plays these days.

Much like a codebase, some of the brilliant engineers I've met relish the video games that lets them scour around the universe, think about strategy, and get into action. It's like…

I don't do C++ anymore professionally, but from I remember, std::locale was very useful: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/locale And QString had no magic to it other than wrapping…

oh yeah absolutely, ginkgo has its use. It was not suited to what we were after, though.

Play video games. I am actually serious.

At a recent job, people were advocating for ginkgo, a non-standard "reinvents the wheel" type of testing framework in golang. If you don't know golang, it has near perfect tooling …

right, wasn't looking for the company actually, by "where" I meant the location, which I think is NYC based on your handle! Congrats, that's a great gig!

where is this? also, how many years of experience?

All feelings are true, but they might not be valid. Invalid feelings are less actionable
