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 amount of time. Being single is more expensive i

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. Looks like Tesla though are doing C with C++ features rather t

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 person and ask as many follow-up questions as possible. U

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.

are you performing when you socialize with people?

I never said bald men cannot be handsome. I was saying "get a nice haircut" implies that.

by hadiz 7y ago
My takeaway is that IG was always built to be performance based social media app. As in, the user puts up a performance for people to see. Compare that to HN/Reddit/Blogs before and you can basically pinpoint when and how social m

Sure, but attractive people with shitty personalities have to lose things, whereas unattractive people with good personalities need to earn. And when there are many attractive people around, there isn't much left to earn.

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 watching someone attempting an Olympic weight-lif

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 its underlying data in ytf-

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 out of the box, including a standard test fra

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

I might be overgeneralizing, but I feel like 10-15 years ago everyone wanted to do wireless communications, now everyone wants to do AI, and probably in a few years everyone wants to do Blockchain or something else. I kinda find it hard to

Well, you just kinda answered your question. There is STL, Qt and Boost. Like all other languages. They do the same thing but in different capacities, you should select based on your needs. I think std::string can be supplemented for Unicod

Modern c++ is pretty good, honestly. With the power of STL, you can so many neat things, and make beautiful code. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUEnO6SvAMo

"Optimism Bias" improves our mental and physical well-being. Biases are irrational, by definition. Our mind is supposedly rational...and rationality is not always to our benefit. This kinda blew my mind when I was reading up some

Hmm, I think if you're good/bad at dating, you'd be like that anywhere. As in, big cities generally aren't great in dating for dudes.
