It was pointless. The python core team decided to obsolete every existing line of python code in exchange for basically nothing. On top of it a few features were changed in ways that felt outright vindictive (division, the u'' convention being the ones that affected every single codebase).

More people SHOULD have refused the python3 transition plan (the most common example in the piece). It was absolute garbage and the eager adopters were the ones responsible for it becoming permanent.

>A few people from my team who left for other companies have already come back within months.

Ask them if they got a pay bump when they came back.

Expecting your neighbor to be ok with two people talking to each other for 7 hours straight is just plain rude regardless of your office preference.

Yes? It's easy to feel productive in an open office. There's activity and buzz and you can accomplish nothing for four hours and still feel like you did something. You can't do that in a more private setting, what you're actually getting done is staring you in the face.

I own an xps 15. It gets mega hot and can't run anything without having to slow down performance because it is too hot. Whatever the optimal battery solution is XPS15 is not doing a good job of it.

There are also compromises made on the frosting so that it doesn't melt at room temperature. Fake cakes let you serve cakes that actually taste good.

American cake is in general very good - I'm not sure where you're comparing it to - it's the cupcakes that are bad.

I haven't used them in ages so I didn't believe this. It seemed too ludicrous. I logged in to check and actually laughed out loud when I saw it. How much trouble must this company be in?

What's the irony, really... there's probably a reason innate IQ settled around where it did over the thousands of years since civilization started and not higher.

Many programmers hit their peak salary very fast. Making $140k a year for 35-40 hours of work a week <4 years out of college with no graduate school is pretty insane.

Continuing to make that $140k 20 years later is also insane, but in the opposite direction, but that's not the situation the post was describing. As a programmer you're fantastically highly paid at the beginning of your career but often not at the middle and end.

But without baking in a 30 minute wait on a train platform how would the parent have been able to make their point?

Drunken Master 2 has one of the most depressing endings I've ever seen in a movie. After the final fight (which involves his drinking industrial grade alcohol to power up enough to win) the movie flashes forwards and it turns out that Jackie's character is severely and permanently mentally retarded because of the alcohol he drank.

This was taken out of the American release of the film.

He had more than enough money in the bank to do nothing given his expenditures. Turns out he likes making money on his own time.

Asking if Kenji stole recipes is like asking if Modernist Cuisine stole recipes. You'd have to be unfamiliar with either to ask.

When I had a Google interview I was told (or it was at least heavily implied) that I wouldn't be evaluated by the people I was having lunch with. I didn't really believe that, and looks like I was right not to.
