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

    We're already doing this in our other (dotnet core) app. This particular example is from an old ass Windows service application. Granted, we could do DI 'manually' but it isn't worth the trouble. Anyway, that wasn't really my argument. My concern was constantly creating/destroying objects in...

    Yeah what the hell was so special about Lucy? What an annoying bitch.

    All the major players thus far, besides Picard and pretty boy Romulan dude, are female. :rolleyes:

    Why? Think of it this way: typical dependency injection follows the same pattern as the second. Object is injected into the constructor and saved as a private member. It's instance lasts as long as the consuming object.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I had a 2005 Legacy GT. Oh wait, I still have a picture lying around: Great car. Had a COBB access tune. Thing made 290HP with just the flash. Sold it in 2008 for an 08 Mustang GT. Kinda wish I had kept it but would've definitely been gone by now.

    I had a code review "argument" the other day which, honestly, I don't guess there's necessarily a right or wrong answer. Here's the setup: you have an object that has a Process() method. This method is called frequently. Within this method you grab data from the database via a provider...

    He also has another channel, "Event Horizon" where he performs interviews and such. Another great YouTube channel is "Isaac Arthur". He has a minor speech impediment which takes some getting used to.

    Rise of Empires: Ottoman

    Just finished the first episode and quite enjoyed it. I really loved the Roman Empire series and I'm glad they kept the same format with this one.

    When did they change her costume? I liked the skirt version better.

    Avenue 5

    No, what to do is don't even bother with that joke because it can't be portrayed in a way that makes sense. If they were on the Moon then that joke would've been fine. But not around Titan.

    Avenue 5

    Yeah, shut the fuck up. Silicon Valley is a good example of a comedy done right. It's a satire of the software development world that was actually close to the mark. People who are both familiar and ignorant of the subject equally found it humorous. Avenue 5 feels like it's composed of...

    Avenue 5

    I agree, other than a few chuckles here and there this show is real retarded. I have a hard time believing Hugh Laurie would associate his name with this.

    Refresh my memory, what point in the story was "before he went to the Seam"?

    Classic Tom & Jerry.

    Actually, one thing that took me out of the moment was when girl Data said, "dude".

    Star Trek: Picard

    The difference is I simply stop watching the show. I don't then go on a Twitter crusade to get the show cancelled like you guys.

    Star Trek: Picard

    First episode it's pretty low. I'm hyper sensitive to that shit and no alarms went off for me. An obvious immigration reference pops up but it didn't make me lose my mind or anything. Overall I quite enjoyed the first episode probably because I'm such a huge TNG fan, and a fan of a...

    Weird Dream Sharing

    Ha. Another dream I've had is having to take what seems to be a world history test and having forgot to attend any of the classes.

    So how many homos and trannies are there in the first episode?

    The Astronomy Thread

    Gravity waves travel at the speed of light, right? So if Betelgeuse did go supernova we would've seen it by now. My guess this is an unrelated coincidence. I went outside to look at Orion and Betelgeuse is noticeably dimmer. That's pretty wild that we can see the difference with the naked eye.

    I have a recurring dream where I am in school, taking a math test and have no fucking clue what's going on. I have this 'nightmare' usually once a month. No idea why.

    I acknowledged that. But they should explain that shit to some small degree. Throw us science nerds a bone for Pete's sake.

    Avenue 5

    It was mildly amusing. But as a sci-fi aficionado, the science of it was annoying. Yeah, i know, it's not supposed to be a hard sci-fi show, BUT: 1) They have anti-gravity implying they have achieved control over gravity, but have to use sling-shot maneuvers to move around the solar system 2)...

    I don't understand the Naomi hate. I'm one of the pickiest motherfuckers around and Naomi is not a bad looking chick at all.

    Same here. I don' t know why. She's not particularly attractive. Nice rack, though.

    The Martin Clunes Manhunt? Eh, it was mediocre at best. No where near as intriguing as Mindhunter.

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    My parents have a Sams Club card. My mom made a mistake and paid all but 30 cents of that month's balance (she always pays the full amount to avoid interest rate charges). So, that .30 balance ended up creating $4.65 in interest charges for that month. Does that make any god damn sense to anyone?

    Right, I got that. But I initially thought, oh shit they are in sort of virtual universe these aren't "real" systems. I suppose that would've been lame, though.

    The Expanse

    By the way, when fusion suddenly stopped working -- did anyone else theorize that this was only possible because they were actually still inside the ring? Reason being is the only other time physics magically changed was from inside the ring, not in external space.

    It's 9 work days. Begins on Wednesday, ends on the Tuesday after next. On that particular Wednesday we have the Sprint Review / Presentation to stakeholders, then sprint planning afterwards.

    For us it's Feature -> Stories. Sprints are 1.5 weeks. We use TFS so we, the team, refer to everything as a "PBI" (product backlog item). PBIs have a user story and ideally try to fit into a single sprint.

    No, thrown to the wolves so to speak. There's no team "leader". There's this one guy who is most familiar with this shit product, but he's being pulled in thousand different directions. And that's another thing. The company is putting a lot of weight on this product to be a bread winner...

    No, again in his defense, this is his first time doing one of these. And he was given a VERY complicated device. The product owner needed this release to get out by Feb 1 so any available dev at the time had to pick it up -- and it was him.

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

    We had discovery today to see which stories we could split to other devs. One story was to add support for a particular communication mode this device can be in. WELL, guess what? He copy-pasted code from an existing device that doesn't support this kind of communication flow. His current...

    I mean, sure, nothing's impossible. But it would be a pain in the ass. We typically have each dev work separately on their own device and it's worked well so far. It's just this one dude is dragging his feet. In his defense, this is his first time working on this stuff and there's lots to...

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

    Trust me, it's not that simple. A lot of this code is copy-pasted from existing shit from the mid 2000s. Poorly designed, lots of static classes.

    These are device communication interfaces. So imagine work where you have one story where you handle initial communication with a device. Another story would be something like downloading information from the device. So how can one dev work on the download portion when the initial...
