I love that I can easily correct and annotate bike lanes

At least in my faang office, there’s essentially zero ports to plug into. If you have a desktop, there’s a port, but that’s the exception. I’ve never seen anyone plug a laptop in.

They mostly don’t even give out desktops to devs these days, everything is in the cloud.

My experience with it on Android had several weird bugs

• Consumed a lot of battery
• Crashed on swapping focus to another app
• Opening the app would get stuck connecting to the game state server (even though the app works fine offline) so I had to use airplane mode to launch the app

These seem resolved now

This is a game I keep coming back to. I love it, and it’s got great replayability. I’m glad the phone version works well now.

It’s mostly software engineers, and distributed across almost every team.

These layoffs didn’t happen because Google is out of money. It’s insanely profitable.

Why not put the bridge somewhere internal, then? It’s not like it needs windows.

Ironically, as I’ve become more senior (11+ years at a faang company) I’ve had to do less and less of that “look around and understand everything” work because of time pressure. But I rely on my experience to be more confident that I can ignore the details and focus on the reason I’m in this file.

Well, that, and if it gets too messy I give up and call in a junior engineer…

This is because your operands are const char[]. That’s not a std::string.

C++ does, but it’s not a very efficient operation. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/operator%2B

“well actually” room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! … But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature superconductivity in hydrides.pdf

Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.

I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.

You’re in for a treat!

I’m playing a bit of totk, and building out a version of https://pedestrianobservations.com/2023/06/18/assume-normal-costs-an-update/ in Nimby Rails!

There’s also nothing stopping Facebook or anybody else from just making their own clone of the software without copyright issues. If it talks the protocol the same way it will work.
