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

    Yeah, for us our acceptance criteria is usually vague. I'm not sure how other software houses are, but our scrum masters aren't technical at all. They are basically glorified secretaries that add stuff to our backlog, pull stories into the current sprint, etc. It's often up to the developer...

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

    It's difficult because the stories are very sequential and highly dependent upon the previous story.

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

    I'm being thrown on a story to help this dude who has been working on it for four months. Should've taken, at most, two. Unfortunately, it's not the type of story that can support more than one developer. We'll probably end up stepping on each other's toes.

    Let's make it a FoH group thing. I'd love to see Alaska.

    The Expanse

    Hope so. I downloaded a couple of BluRay rips of season 1 and even they have the shortened intro. :mad:

    Does Syfy have any other original programming that's worth a shit?

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yeah, I've been in the market for a Mustang for about a year now. I've been constantly scanning Autotrader and various large dealerships looking at their inventories. This particular one at CarMax stood out as being very reasonable. So I kept watching and, bam, they dropped it another grand...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yes, I never thought I would ever purchase a vehicle from CarMax. Every time I looked at their pricing they seemed WAY over priced. And, generally, they are. But I found this particular Mustang priced at around what they had base, no-option Mustang GTs at. It was weird. From what I...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Bought myself a Christmas present: 2018 Premium GT, six-speed, black accent package, nav, and active valve performance exhaust. Fucker is LOUD in track mode.

    The Expanse

    I'm rewatching the series and just started season 1 last night. I'm enjoying it more 2nd time around. I don't think I became "crazy" about the series until S3, honestly.

    The Witcher

    They are examples of exceptional beauty.

    The Witcher

    No, bunch of faggots that can't discern actual beauty. Here's a short list of actresses that, visually, would have made for a better Yennefer than the wide-jawed, cleft chinned thing that we got: Kate Beckinsale (goes without saying) Minka Kelly Ashlynn Yennie Jenn Proske

    The Witcher

    Yes, if she was my girlfriend or wife I would be thrilled. But, in context, I can think of many other actresses that are way, way hotter.

    Lost in Space

    Consistently blows my mind. Guy at work is paying for HBO, Netflix, Hulu, CBS All Access. I'm like, "UHM.....okay."

    The Witcher

    Yeah, it doesn't "feel" right having blacks play elves. Sure, there exists dark elves in EverQuest, D&D, etc. but their skin tone is more blackish-blue and still have delicate features.

    The Witcher

    Sabrina is played by Therica Wilson-Read. Google'd up some images and, I dunno, something is going on with that face. Honestly, all of them are odd-looking.

    The Witcher

    I'm only on episode 3, but I don't find this Yen attractive at all. When she makes her appearance at the ball (after the transformation) and everyone was looking at her in awe....I was like, "meh....I'll take that big titty blonde thank-you-very-much."

    The Man in the High Castle

    Just finished this finally. I mean, am I an asshole for actually liking Smith? I was hoping he would, somehow, redeem himself. I realize that he realistically couldn't because of the horrible shit that happened under his watch. But do something other than saying, "I don't know how". Because...

    The Expanse

    Thinking about it some more, I'm disappointed that there wasn't much of an explanation of what was going on with New Terra. Why did one of the islands go nuclear? Why was one of the moons melting down? Was it all just Miller "flipping switches"? And, by the way, that kind of moon...

    The Expanse

    Just finished the season. Overall, I thought it was fantastic. I get that it might be considered a filler season/novel because I do wish the main plot could have been advanced a bit more. Also, is it just me, or is Mars "not being the same" felt a little too soon? Would they stop giving a...

    Car ?'s

    I just requested a transfer from Carmax. Speaking to the guy, I asked about financing and he said that he just got someone approved for 2.95% who had a credit score of 800. I'm at 830 so I should be fine. Assuming the guy isn't lying, of course. Got a 2018 Mustang GT Premium, triple-yellow...

    Car ?'s

    Any idea what kind of loan rates are out there for used vehicles for someone with redonkeyously good credit? Carmax shows a low of 2.95%. However, doing a general web search I'm seeing rates around 4% which sounds high.

    Watchmen

    I'm not a fan of what they did with Doctor Manhattan. To me they Matrix 2'd him. Went from a God-like being back to human. Unless it's a woman, amirite?

    The Dragon Prince

    Finished the season last night. It was quite enjoyable but, yes, another gay couple thrown in at the end. There have been more homosexual relationships depicted in this series than hetero. I'm with you, Xadion. If I had young children I would not be comfortable letting them watch this. I...

    Car ?'s

    Look at this shit: Carvana | Buy Used Cars Online & Skip The Dealership That is a base 2017 GT with no options for $29,100? Fucking dumb. Again, I could buy a brand spanking new 2019 with 0% financing for 72 months for ~$28,500. You'd have to be a complete moron to buy from these places...

    Car ?'s

    What if the car has a lien? Looking at Carvana offerings...who the hell is buying vehicles at these prices? I'm actually looking for a used, low-mileage 17+ Mustang GT. They are selling used 17s for the price I could buy a brand new 19 for.

    For junior dev applicants we give them 3 coding challenges: * reverse a string * count the number of usages of a word in a string * SQL stuff that involves table joins. nothing crazy Each challenge gives explicit acceptance criteria. So we are testing that they are able to code AND can follow...

    Yup. Getting away from the code and thinking about the problem helps immeasurably. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Or is it the other way around? Whatever, you get the point.

    Could you say 'f em' and instead just anonymously scrape the web page search results? Since that apparently has the tags that you need and the API doesn't.
