Yep, I fixed the link, thanks!

I like most of SMBC but this is by far my favourite

Favourite ever webcomic relates well to this.

Obviously it isn’t easy but you have a ton of life left to live how you want to

I was undergoing a medical procedure and passed out and vomited all over myself

I asked the staff to call my wife so they went to the waiting room yelling her name and she just ignored them assuming it was another patient. Then I gave them her phone number and they tried calling her but she didn’t recognize the number so ignored the calls.

The nurse did not believe that my wife was there, she thought I was totally out of it and was trying not to look worried.

Later my wife thought it was the funniest thing.

At one point they improved it and it was pretty good, then season 4 they absolutely butchered it.

How much faith of the heart would you say you have?

That actually seems attractive to me, but I’m unsure where I stand yet. It’s pricey, I just want a box I can put in the basement and then connect everything to over wifi.

I think I’m very much a generalist, but the areas in deep on I’m much deeper than others.

But that means as companies get bigger they want more specialists and i end up less valuable as I’m just filling in gaps.

Makes finding those good companies harder, but I’m more valuable to small companies than hiring 3-4 people, so I can command good pay.

Networking in university got me my first jobs and they were very good starting jobs.

I don’t mean you have to go out and be fake, but get involved in a bunch of stuff, and make sure to check if your department has any corporate relationships you can use.

Meeting people pays the best dividends in life.

This is very true

Some people fall into the lifestyle creep trap and get accustomed to spending what they make. If you make 2x average and live relatively normally you’ll find your savings grow quick.

Even if you do make good money, it’s best not to let that go to your head.

In curious where you are in the career curve?

When I started I had similar experience where I was rapidly getting promoted and raises. Eventually that slowed down.

My answer is I got promotions and now I’m not allowed to spend time on making nice code, I just have to get results and I’m closely judged by volume over quality.

I started a project with “I’ll just build a simple entity component system”

I quickly abandoned it because that does not work at all if you have not planned out all of the features you’ll use.

With all the features modern games have, and their portability across platforms and graphics stacks, yeah it’s damn impressive these things work.

My all time most annoying bug was the Witcher 3 chest management.

The algorithm they used to display and sort contents if a chest was abhorrently slow. I’ve worked on large datasets with terabytes of contents that sort faster than the inventory in Witcher 3 did.

Other than that, a near flawless game!

“Who the hell wrote something so stupid”

git blame

“Oh. Never mind”

At least it means you’re improving.

Not true

If you learn rust you’ll start saying “this would never have happened if they had used rust”

The joy cons were awful for that.

If you want keyboard shortcuts in your terminal ctrl+x e opens the current command in your editor. When you save you can then run the command.

I don’t think this works with all shells but it’s easy to set up in modern ones.

That looks unpleasant

We had a prof who said he only used to book for the problems and they changed their order each edition. He would give us the previous years question numbers so we could buy the book used.

My friends and I ended up splitting a single copy of the book and texting each other the homework questions each week.

I had another prof who used an open source book and only charged us the price to print it. You could access it for free in PDF online, or even the source to generate the book in additional formats.

It’s surprisingly affordable with this 84 month loan!

The criminal thing about car loans is they often increase the loan APR as the duration increases, so it’s not just exponentially more expensive, the exponent is larger too!

It looks affordable until you find out your 84 month loan means you pay 25% more for the vehicle.

Also the second criminal thing is the depreciation curve is front loaded, so when you go to sell or upgrade you owe more and your asset is worth less.
