I don't think the drivers are the issue. The infrastructure, including the signage and road markings are vastly more sane and regular in SF than in Boston. And have you seen the road layout in Boston? I have no idea if this will be a challenge for Waymo, but I could imagine why someone would think it would.
There are some areas of Boston where the roads are pretty bad. I took a friend into the medical area around the Fens recently and it was really a cut over here and don't let them in sort of situation.
Question: does CodeApprove place related files in closer proximity during review? I would _love_ to have a class and its test next to each other instead of sorted alphabetically. I'm tired of jumping around all over the place, trying to traverse through my review thought process.
I can't speak for CodeApprove, but Reviewable has file grouping capabilities so users can groups files based on anything they want (using a javascript function to do it)
CodeApprove does not have that feature because we don't currently do any smart code parsing to understand what would make a file "related". I think Viezly (https://viezly.com/) does the best job at that.
“Calories in” is half. “Calories out” (the amount you burn) is the other half.
Having been on the “nothing but diet” train for long windows of my life I can confidently say that if you don’t pair the former and latter, you’ll end up in the yo-yo cycle. Over and over again. Took a long time for me to understand that and I STILL struggle.
I don't understand. If one is gaining weight then that implies they consumed more calories then they 'burned' and aren't restricting calories enough.
Exercise and training would increase your burn rate and allow you to do less caloric restriction but at the end of the day it comes down to eating less calories.
Are you so awkward that you would rather pay a dollar than talk?
Slowly picking what you want on a website and seeing all your options without having to quiz an employee for a bunch of time on the phone is the convenience. Knowing exactly what you want and saying it aloud is not an inconvenience.
I'm not the person above, but I don't miss calling to place orders. I miss it even less at the end of a long day, a few beers in, in a country that speaks a third language.
I book through a screen when I can, at my own speed. It's nicer.
Calling in orders was unthinkable most times, unless I knew that the business was accustomed to delivery orders anyway. But usually, there was just no need or reason for me to call in ahead for orders. (I don't own a car, so I certainly wouldn't be picking up, always dining in.)
However, ordering pickup food online is an amazing service now. I picked up this habit quite recently, when I realized that Google Maps makes it super easy. They present your choices between GrubHub, or the restaurant's own website, or other services. So what I do is get on the bus, then when I'm about 20 minutes away, I'll just open up my phone and order ahead. Credit card payments are no problem; I often use PayPal with GrubHub, or Google Pay.
Calling in an order on the bus would be unthinkable, since I would not be reciting my credit card details by voice in a public space. But online ordering makes it a piece of cake.
This Toast fee may be affecting me soon; I recently started patronizing a coffeehouse that uses Toast, and ordering ahead seemed like a really good idea. We'll see.
If you make it to my comment, please - do not go into management for the money. If you want to build, then remain an IC. If you want to grow other engineers, further THEIR career, make THEM better - go into management.
The friends of mine who ended up in management for the money and complain about their reports make me so angry.
I mean, this has a certain truth to it... but this isn't really a situation unique to management.
A lot of engineers, of all flavors, are at least partially in the field for the money. Maybe they enjoy their work, maybe they're good at it, but for a lot of people it was more of a plan C or D after the things they really wanted to do turned out to be something they couldn't make money at.
Some of them would rather be authors or musicians, some of them chemists or physicists, a number of them are just waiting to buy a goat farm upstate. If you include them people who would rather be engineering something else, but that something else doesn't pay the bills, it may be a majority of engineers who are in it for the money.
Sometimes, people are asked to become managers because their managers think that they have the right combination of skills and attributes to be good at the job.
And sometimes, the people who were asked, due to a combination of stubbornness and a desire not to “sell out”, deny the request for 7-8 years. Eventually, a person might realize that the original requesters may have been correct and that’s how they become a manager.
I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say that many people get into management for the money. My thought is that the motivation, the incentive, is wrong.
I’ve had too many shitty managers in my career to think I’d put other people through similar experiences. So, my switch into management was motivated by, hopefully, making the experiences on my team positive ones
I find this to be an incredibly well-balanced and mature measure of one's self. You should be proud that you were able to reach this level of self-reflection and clarity. Many people never get there, so kudos to you.
