Professional software developer here. It’s definitely a career. I do agree it’s like art, it requires you to fit stuff together like a puzzle to get it to work. But I don’t think that makes it less of a “serious” career - there’s a lot of money in the field and as the world gets more and more invested in computing it’s become a very in-demand skill.

Great read. Probably my favorite book Weir has put out so far.

Not technically a sequel to The Martian but it kinda feels like it in a way. That’s not a negative for me though, Martian is a great story

I wouldn’t say that’s opinion so much as objective fact. We evolved in Earth’s natural climate to be able to survive on this planet. If the planet’s reaching a point where we can no longer naturally survive on it that’s a major problem.

Yep, main returns an int in C++. It’s for the return code - if it returns 0, that indicates the program ran ok, if it returns anything else some sort of error occurred.

Voyager is getting an iOS native version. There’s a TestFlight version out right now, it’s really neat. Definitely scratches that Apollo itch.

I love funny pho restaurant names. There’s one near my office called Pho Khang. Their food’s pretty good too which is just the cherry on top.

Heh, yeah. In fairness though Oppenheimer’s affairs with communists did contribute to his security clearance being revoked, so it is actually somewhat relevant here.

There is a sex scene, and yeah, it actually contributes to the plot of the film. It’s because it’s not so much just a movie about the atom bomb as it is a film about Oppenheimer.

Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.

Is the dude on the left the same guy from “A dubious little creature getting up to mischief, this is no good”? Kinda looks like it to me.
