Nice! I built something similar for my personal site, based on the book Piranesi and the statues from the SMK collection in Copenhagen.

There's probably some mathematical relationship between car dependency, time, and urban sprawl too.
Back in the 70s there may have been 1 or 2 affordable neighborhoods in your metro area where people in their late 20s could buy a house -- and they were both probably fairly close to the city center. Nowdays, I'd say those neighborhoods are likely to be farther away from the city center (exurbs) and thus farther away from each other.
I think about this with my hometown friends in the PNW. Growing up we all lived in Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland, and now those areas are all too expensive and folks are living in Issaquah, Duvall, Renton, etc.

Well said. When I was a grad student, chasing what would have been a doomed career in cellular neuroscience, I was unfortunate enough (fortunately in the end, perhaps?) to get struck down by a significant depressive episode. This ended up being the feedback signal I needed to consider changing things up, and I did.

Yea, interesting how this outs the README as AI Generated.
I don't think any human would ever write a sentence like this without first explaining THE FREAKING CONTROLLER IS MOVING BY VIBRATING
Proximity Creep Mode: Automatically cuts haptic pulse frequency by 50% when the controller is within 150 pixels of the puck to ensure a gentle magnetic dock.

This leak coming after all the reassurances that the intitiative passed privacy review and wouldn't be a leak risk is soo damning.
Not only have the employees lost faith in the executive's integrity, but their basic competency as well.

You'd be a fool to spend more than 30 seconds on it if you'd played an actual MMO anytime in the last five years. It's immediately apparent how poor quality AI-generated games like this are.

Hey. This is a total nightmare in my opinion. The dark mirror of something that I know and love and represents one of the highlights of human digital authorship.
If you'd like to play the actual game with other SWEs I'd invite you to help me start a guild for SWEs: https://unplanned-downtime.com/

Re:What if regular exercise is the best cognitive exercise?

There was a rather compelling pathway proposed years ago: skeletal muscle activation leads to the secretion of a protein in the blood called Irisin. This protein then crosses the blood-brain barrier and upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
Re:Employee gift ideas that make people feel bad
on Thursday November 03, 2022 @12:55PM (#33453884)
For me the best company gifts are small mundane things printed with company-specific inside jokes. Coffee mugs with quotes from the team, references to past projects or humorous incidents, that kind of thing. I'm not going to bring that stuff outside the office, but it does a lot to make me feel like a m member of the team in an "I was there" way.
