For me it revolves around three pieces (1) doing some hobby activity (2) with the goal of socializing, (3) consistently over a period of time. For (1)- climbing, board games, team sports are all some ways I specifically do this for, but in

Hmm, even if the restaurant is not high end, those are quite high prices. Just went out to a restaurant I would describe similarly ( https://www.thebutchersdaughter.com/west-village/ ). Mains are ~$20, appetizers are ~$1

Everyone I know that has relocated (~10 people, largely SWEs) has gotten a stipend to relocate, including myself. To me, that's not the big barrier. The social/emotional cost of relocation, along with the risk of job loss, is the

Recently went to a pinball museum. Was awesome. $20 got you play for the whole day, and they had a variety of machines from the early days of pinball to the present. Really helped you see the evolution of pinball from then to now, and becau

To be fair TikTok has been in the mainstream for a couple of years (if not more), and still gives that feeling. A lot around that seems to be due to the algorithm doing a better job of sharing non-high profile accounts (seeding videos with

Not sure about that. A few social activities are negative (nightlife, eating out maybe), but most seem to be neutral to me (hanging out, gaming, religion), and it's pretty easy to find positive activities (walking/hiking, sports,

I don't get this complaint- there is no difficulty in watching the games. IIRC no game would be blacked out for you (besides the handful of national TV games?). You might disagree with the price, but streaming baseball outside of the U

Yea, I dislike it (a bit) for that reason. The "meme" in leetcode interviews is that "hashmap lookup is O(1)". It does feel like a bit of a gotcha to (correctly, mind you) expect an answer of O(n) for the lookup. That be

I mean, it sounds like the article is describing this, right? My takeaway was that the author didn't effectively handle their interaction with the banking system. The consequences seemed to be minimal in this case, but the takeaway for
