    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    At the little start up I'm at I am the anchor of an SE team, and the general plan seems to be that once we have something like 3 SEs other than me I'll be elevated to Director of Solution Engineering. I won't complain. Building a program/team from ground up was one of the only things left on...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    Last strip club I went to was... damn.. more years ago than I feel good counting. But I still fondly remember the days of the VVMA. A lot of us were on a local BBS (yeah.. THAT long ago) called Virtual Village. We decided to form the right and honorable fraternal order of the Virtual Village...

    So Treasury is dropping $1T on the bond market to suppress rates, and the bond market is treating it like a cat that maintains eye contact with you while pissing in your shoes.... am I interpreting this correctly?

    Health Problems

    For the most part I have hideously hard to find veins. Then for some reason every now and again I find some magical person and there like "tap tap tap... poke... done" and I always try to remember their names.

    Health Problems

    So I am of two minds on this one... First, with as many times as finding my squirrely veins has been an adventure that ended up with me having multiple jabs, multiple locations, and a lot of pain I welcome an accurate technological solution. But on the other hand, will I trust this shit...

    Smartphones

    No, it was sitting down on the console, so not in the full Texas sun. (i.e. August in Texas). And the Waze+stream+occasional zoom combo platter is my usual modus operandi when I'm on the road for work. Which is why this time was kinda jarring. But like I said, it's a 6 year old phone...

    Are you talking about AI (Artificial Intelligence) or AI (Another Indian)?? But seriously, I am at the same point. In my new gig I'm trying to embrace Claude since it's the company standard and I get what I think is some kind of AYCE plan on it for tokens. Designing a whole new demo...

    I have a Samsung s20 and it did the overheating thing for the first time this last week. Admittedly I was in the car, it was connected to android auto, pushing waze, I was streaming media, and then hopped on a zoom call with video.... But it was still annoying when it started overheating and...

    What I've seen more is something which came about during Covid. Instead of having menus, they will have a QR code on the table. You scan it and read the menu on your phone. And yes, I have seen completely done up exploits where people put stickers on tables with URLs leading to Android and...

    In my head essentially there's "Young James Spader" and "Old James Spader" as two essentially completely different people. Young is the OG Daniel Jackson, and from all those brat pack movies. Old is Raymond Reddington and the voice of Ultron. I still think of Ultron as "Mecha Reddington"...

    I could see it. If they're going for X-men in their 20's, and Xavier and Magneto need to be a generation older, then 40's fit. Right now they need to focus on "Let's make one really kick ass Xmen movie to get people back into this the Marvel Machine, then MAYBE a Trilogy". Anybody at...

    If you watch the trailer apparently a big portion of the movie happens "inside Vision's mind" where he has a virutal house, with people representing apparently different system processes, all looking like humans, including Vision himself (I'm sure Paul Bettany thanks God for that favor). Since...

    We're talking about a racing series where the rule is the car can't cost over $500... Although now I wonder how big a hit Cash for Clunkers did for this whole sport.

    I believe the reason he could wield Mjolnir was the fact that he's not actually a living being, ergo the spell on the hammer couldn't judge him as worthy or not. Same reason Mjolnir left on an elevator could go up and down and not just slam the elevator to the first floor. With all the CGI...

    NGL, I enjoyed the trailer, and that is very probably a first for a Disney+ Marvel series. I also get the balance. He has to sort the shit in his head so he can sort the shit IRL. I can run with that. I've been a huge James Spader fan for a long time and it looks like they're shooting for an...

    Yeah, I remember going in to see it knowing what I know. Versus Mrs Haus and a lot of our friends who went along who ... well... really didn't. I even tried to prep those who would get the reference with "Just know, this is going to be the "The Empire Strikes Back" of this series....but worse."

    As I mentioned a ways back... Magneto wasn't always a Holocaust survivor. THat was reconned into his character in the early 80's in the Christ Claremont era IIRC. That's incorrect. In his original incarnation (No religious/holocaust backstory) he was still a mutant supremacist, ran the...

    Yeah, my former company has had what I'd call one really lackluster year in the last 5, and I was also in the ESPP, but not through the 401k. My company didn't offer their ESPP as a 401K option. Instead they just did two buys a year at the lowest price from either the first or last day, then...
