That wasn't my experience with the current layoffs at big tech. There was no effort to find positions for the engineers who performed well in the previous year(s). They just cut some orgs by the hundreds (I was in a call with 350+ other devs, many of whom are far smarter and more experienced devs than myself).
They just started cutting "weight" at some point, the "dead" adjective was dropped during the previous rounds of layoffs.
Sorry to nitpick, but I've driven across the USA many times and I've never had much to complain about with regards to our roads (outside of Ohio, fuck that state). Doubly so when comparing our road infrastructure to poorer countries.
I'd rather a teammate who is honest about their current limitations than someone who tells me what I want to hear. If someone admits they are stretched thin, it's now an "us versus the problem" to find why you are so overtasked. If someone consistently takes on too much (because they can't say no) and causes the team to miss deadlines, it's now an "us versus you" problem.
Absolutely not. Modern Democrats are neoliberals to the extreme. Neoliberals are very pro-immigration.
I feel like tossing in a patch from SC2 as an indicator that it's actively being supported is a little misleading. SC2 had the opportunity to compete with LoL and Dota2 for viewership but Blizzard made a LOT of mistakes with the first expansion that alienated players and sent them to LoL, Dota2, or CSGO.
Their game design philosophy and slow patch rhythm sabotaged the momentum that the pro scene had been building (warp gate tech, infinite value units like Brood Lords and Swarm Hosts, frontloading all Terran power into Stim units, etc). They also catered the ladder experience solely for competitive players, they didn't introduce many (if any) casual-friendly modes until far too late.
I guess we just kinda stumbled into being one of the wealthiest and most developed countries in the world while having the lazier/slowest/most expensive workforce.
I can't say that every skinny person has a healthy relationship with food, but I can say that almost every overweight person does have an unhealthy relationship with food. Everyone is allowed to make their own choices, but if I smell liquor on your breath every morning, I'm going to assume you don't have a healthy relationship with alcohol. Same goes for food.
> I get the same sort of "helpful" suggestions
If someone is suffering from a cold and I tell them to "instead of going to work you could try taking the day off to sleep, it should help fight the cold virus", that's objectively true. If someone is suffering from depression and I tell them "try incorporating some exercise in your daily routing, it should help your mental and physical health", that's objectively true.
It feels like there's this viewpoint among many depressed folks where they want unconditional support from their friends/family, but only want the communication to go one way. It's incredibly difficult to support someone who is struggling with depression. If they offer suggestions, it's their way of trying to help because there's fuck all they can do outside of that.
How tall/big are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 6'0" 180lbs and my caloric intake is about 3500 when I'm in a bulk cycle (I do a lot of cardio/fencing in addition to weightlifting, so my calorie needs are quite high). Was just curious of your composition given your caloric needs are similar to my own.
Just want to say that, in my experience, this is only if you're in the habit of regularly eating unhealthy food. Once you break that habit and your body adjusts to eating healthier food, eating unhealthy food regularly becomes too rich/heavy/sweet.
For example: I used to eat a ton of Reese's pieces when I was younger. This weekend over Thanksgiving, I had a few pieces and came to find that they were now WAY too sweet. Same goes for soda, once water is your baseline drink soda becomes far too syrupy and sweet.
Senior/Staff's Perspective: "I was hired to solve business problems, sometimes I write code"
A full-stack dev with 7ish years of experience could easily create/maintain CRUD apps for a smaller company with minimal effort while focusing the rest of his efforts on a more challenging role at a larger company.
You could argue that using drones to kill people is murdering, you can point to times when he lied. It also just strikes me as different when saying things about someone who is in public office and saying things about private citizens who aren't in the spotlight at all.
I would argue that a failed society is one that protects an individual at the cost of the group. You only see one individual held accountable for his words and actions, but you don't make any attempt to recognize the families and how their lives have been affected by Alex Jones' negligent and irresponsible words.
Manager: "We need to talk about your job performance."
Employee: "Really? I'm performing all the tasks and responsibilities I was hired to do."
Manager: "Well, okay. Those are the minimums, okay?"
Employee: "Okay..."
Manager: "Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Brian, for example, has the responsibilities of a Senior Dev for half the salary. And he has a terrific smile."
Employee: "Okay. So you... you want me to take more responsibilities?"
Manager: "Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to work more and we encourage that, okay? You don't want to be a quiet quitter, do you?"
Employee: "Yeah, yeah."
Manager: "Okay. Great. Great. That's all I ask."
Devs: "We, as software developers, are underappreciated! People only pay attention to us when things go wrong!"
Also Devs: "Managers are so useless lmao"
UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable) // This is a purely C++ function that is exposed to Blueprints and can be called from blueprints
UFUNCTION(BlueprintNativeEvent) // This can be implemented in C++, Blueprint, or both (in the Blueprint implementation, call the Parent method and it will run the C++ function and then run the Blueprint function)
UFUNCTION(BlueprintImplementableEvent) // This is a purely Blueprint function (though it is defined in the C++ header) that can be called from C++.
I believe there may also be some funky reflection code you can create to invoke Blueprint functions from C++, but there's very little reason for that as BlueprintImplementableEvent does that in a cleaner way.

To OP, if you enjoy DotA then I highly recommend trying to make a DotA clone yourself and coming up with your own unique abilities. If you use UE4, there's a HUGE amount of free assets (especially Paragon assets, Epic's old third-person MOBA).
Tons of women play video games these days, but online multiplayer games are still quite a bit of a boy's club. It seems like a similar situation with engineering schools/jobs: it's dominated by awkward men and remains so due to a negative feedback loop.
