They have to replace her with a temp. Never easy. She's entitled to her job back.
Also a significant % of women don't ever return from their family leave. But they don't 'change their minds' until the financial bene is over. Often less than 2 weeks notice.
Most 'creative' people, just found an excuse for smoking pot all day and doing nothing.
Which isn't to say that 'creative' isn't a real thing. Just that those who use the term to self describe are fucking useless.
Coding is supposed to go away every 10 years or so, I was first aware of it 3 cycles ago. Coding tools are generally getting better, than there is Javascript.
The problem is analyzing a problem isn't the kind of thing most creative people are any good at. Once you understand the problem the code, more or less, is as good as written. Unless you have bad coders. But even where code generation works, it's limited and falls down once you have to muck about with the generated code for any special purpose.
Strong AI changes everything. But they don't even have a working theory for how to get there. All they have is pattern matching. Good luck with that for coding.
I don't believe you've actually read 'Finnegan's Wake'. Nobody can finish that. Even the authors of the 'Cliff's Notes' only read other summaries.
Professors that make a living off it, don't actually read it. Bluffing, every one.
I have seen it excepted for good effect in a book on lunatics. Retired 'loony bin attendants' might have a chance at finishing it, but I doubt any of them miss it that much. Can you picture nurse Ratchet putting down her drink to read the same kind of BS she had to deal with for 30 years?
I think the trick to reading it is to do it the same way it was written: Blackout drunk, not putting down long term memory. Or alternatively, in 60 second bites starting on random pages, before throwing the book at the wall...separated by 20 years.
The Japanese do continue to be massively over represented in the world's collection of WTF?
I own a SKS made by the Chinese while they had bad famines.
In a classic guns/butter trade-off, that rifle likely represents a dead Chink or two, I paid $200.
I had this conversation with a former coworker, he's under 5 foot, his growth was stunted by Mao's famines. Liked shooting the SKS though. Was a little disturbed to learn it was basically a disposable POS.
Those famines are owned lock stock and stinking piles of corpses, by the worlds leftists. Nothing natural about it, except the nature of power corrupting.
Solar cells have their own law, it's name escapes me. The historical drop in $/watt is slower than $/CPUgrunt.
There is no guarantee that Moore's law will continue to apply in the future. Only huge piles of cash, generated by the computer industry, has kept it going as long as it has.
Smaller feature size vs solar efficiency are basically different things. Good thing $/watt is the more important than pure efficiency, so there is hope.
Solar sails won't directly give the Gs to make orbit on the moon. But solar sails on a cartwheeling tether might. Fuck it, just get escape velocity from the launcher, it just takes an 'arm wave'.
If your in pure scifi, what you really want is a far side/L2 orbital tether. Use it for free delta-V on deep space probes, tricky to use to bomb the earth 'Moon is a Harsh Mistress' style. I'd be against giving the 'lunatics' linear accelerator launchers for military reasons.

It's worth less than the current value of the Alibaba stock it holds.
That's mostly due to the Shanghai stock market being so broken, but it still says a lot.
And they had a great 4 or 5 years in college.
Rational Rose spits out reams of code. But it's just mail merge. Wordstar could have done it.
Want to know how I know you have good enough Karma to disable /. adds?
Your joking, but my typing has improved sense I installed a spare space bar on the bottom of the keyboard drawer.
The trick is Kegels and more Kegels.
Blacks are shot by cops in proportion with the rate they commit violent crime.
That makes them over-represented, but not for the reason you think.
Punchline:
Husband: I learned to live with it, the pig will too.
But can they hit the space bar with it as an effective aid to touch typing?
Total darkness fixes a lot. But Hillary? No.
She would not shut up and let you call her another name.
How much % increase does she deserve for her new nose and butt wiping experience? Assuming she is in STEM.
She might be due a COLA, but she might also have forgotten everything she knew about computers.
They have to replace her with a temp. Never easy. She's entitled to her job back.

'Old' (1910 or so) mortgages were refied every year or five. So there was a thriving market for new notes.
Quit repeating fiction.
How hard is it to have one 'problem' per year that makes you an IT hero?
The trick is to plan the problem. Close enough to a deadline that everyone knows about it, far enough that you fix it with plenty of time.
BOFH IS an instruction manual for new sysadmins. Read if from the start.
Only a moron works 100 hours a week.
Even 55 of _actual work_ is too much. Don't count hours zoning out in meetings, just get sunglasses and learn to sleep sitting up.
You will end up crispy at 55. At 100 they are certainly net negative workers on week 2.
With his time machine?
Joyce was deep in the bottle by the time he dictated 'Finnigan's Wake' from a stupor. I wasn't kidding about reading it blackout drunk.

The second revision of the third version is usually OK. Before OR AFTER that and you're fucked though.

Get fewer votes than Vermin Supreme...

Malthus will always be wrong, because he neglected many important factors.
He might someday 'be right', but only in the 'broken clock' way.

He has a 'day job' with no deliverable, no deadlines, no concrete plan or even a plan to make a plan and the potential to wipe out biological life.
What's not to love? Are you jealous? I am.
