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

    Those people will find ways to be unproductive no matter what. Working from home, working at work, actually working, they'll be inefficient and unproductive.

    I hope you're right. They've taken away Reduced Mana Cost % on flasks(maybe justifiably?) and Replica Conqueror's Efficiency(mostly unjustifiably) while making builds pay for triggers. No -mana cost on jewelry would hurt. Weapon craft being better than a keystone is kinda weird, I could see...

    Does this mean not picking up trash crafting recipes makes veiled gear better via a smaller affix pool?

    The difference is that Sanctum roughly tracked with character progression, so it fit better into an ARPG. If someone said they thought Sanctum was low quality because oops melee, I wouldn't disagree. To be clear, my list was league mechanics, Settlers, not the patch state, 3.25. It's not so...

    They could have polished the fuck out of that turd and it would still just be Farmville in my ARPG. There was inherently a low ceiling on Settlers.

    Hopefully it's more of: Affliction Sanctum Sentinel And less of: Settlers Necropolis Ancestor Crucible Kalandra Archnemesis It's not just the release schedule that's suffered because of PoE2. The league quality itself has been much lower since they announced the games would be split.

    Isn't that what proton is? I'd be impressed if AI can handle porting old software. Maybe a focused AI that's been trained on the languges, OSes, and build toolchains.

    Microsoft Copilot installed itself on every computer I've checked so far. Mine, my son's, which isn't surprising as Windows Updates is still enabled. My work laptop, which I was a little surprised about as it seems to have violated the group policy AFAIK. Machines in which we have blackholed...

    When K was dealing with tac squad 2, they cut away from one of the troopers and what I thought was an ADR line of "STOP RIGHT THERE". But now I'm not so sure it was ADR, it's too different from when he yells "Sargent!". Oblivion easter egg?

    The chimney is capped. Though I don't know to what degree. I'm fairly ignorant here. It looks like the standard "lets smoke out and keeps some water from getting in". I paint my porch with that stuff that keeps water out, should I use the same stuff on the top few layers of cinder blocks of...

    Thanks for the advice. I've used hydraulic cement to patch cracks in my porch, much smaller volume. So I could not concern myself with the mixing vessel(some cleaned plastic recyclable or can) itself setting up quickly. How do you deal with this in a larger volume? Just set aside lots of...

    Nothing on the market comes close to PoE's build creativity and progression. It would be a mistake to discontinue active support to instead focus on "please follow guide" PoE2. Letting the community develop, which I sincerely doubt Tencent would allow, I think would also be a mistake. The...

    A bit off topic, but is there a way to integrate SMS/MMS/RCS/whatever phone text messaging into Discord? I abstain from Discord because it would double the amount of messaging apps I would have to pay attention to. Yeah, that sounds petty, but i r grumpy old fart.

    I don't know if my boss considered kubevirt, but he ended up choosing a qemu/kvm implementation to replace vmware. It's worked out alright so far, but we also lean heavily on containers where possible, VMs only if necessary.

    More changes that make you question why the game was in the state prior to said change. And whether this will just lead to dev resentment again.

    Maybe. But there's a whole lot to commuting that I don't miss. I work at a pretty small company, so there's very little chaff. As in, most people are at the very least competent. The need for "just look at my screen" or in person meetings isn't prevalent

    I'm not going to use it. We have baseboard heating and I want to say it's already capped, but I might be getting terms mixed up. The inspector said it was capped when we bought it. My interest is completely within maintaining the chimney from a structural standpoint, that's all.

    It can make a difference. Risotto is cooked start to finish in the water used to hydrate the rice and make the ensuing sauce. A lot of pasta dishes are par boiled and then finished in a pan with their intended sauce.

    Anyone patched a cinder block chimney? We've never used it since we moved in 10+ years ago, and I'm pretty sure the previous owners didn't use it much at all either. So, from a functionality standpoint, I don't really care. I just don't want it to get worse and start falling apart. A few...

    Have they stopped developing expansions for EU4? Winds of Change(1.37) was May 8th, 2024 and it looks like EU5 is "soon". I've always held off on purchasing many of the expansion packs because the handful of recent ones are almost never significantly discounted and new content was imminent...

    Glad they changed it, but I can't say that with complete certainty as I haven't played 0.2.0g yet, only familiar with the lack of loot prior to it and how unfun it was to struggle progressing as SSF. Still concerning how much they seem to want to make a strugglebus of a game.
