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

    Wow. I get about one per week from LinkedIn. Indeed and Monster were stupid though. Like 20 per day.

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

    LinkedIn can be a little spammy with it's own ads and people post a lot of stupid Facebook and virtue signalling shit but it seems to be much less infested with retard headhunters.

    Weight Loss Thread

    I was on Keto for a couple of years, lost about 60lbs and got back down to a normal bmi. Too much beer and sitting in front of a computer over the years being a lazy fuck. End of last summer, I started having issues with cramps and twitching in my calves. I tried some Potassium/Magnesium...

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

    On an hourly basis, yes. Roughly double a typical salary. The trick is to keep those hours coming in.

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

    Most of my career has been in Automotive. ADAS Vision and Displays, Powertrain, SIR, Telematics. Since going independent a few years ago, about half has been Automotive and the rest has been IoT and video. I get some work myself, some with guys I know who have also gone independent and some...

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

    I'm an independent firmware dev and was recently wrapping up a project earlier than expected so I turned on my resumes on Indeed/Monster to see if I could make some new contacts. Apparently there is a new phenomenon in the industry as I am contacted all day long by Indians who can barely speak...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Speaking of M&B, I was just looking into some new mods and I've noticed some sort of weird glare/fog effect. Anyone have any idea what I could adjust? When I turn gamma *down* the snowy areas saturate white and when I turn it *up* the snow is okay but everything else is too bright. There is...

    Satisfactory

    In Factorio, you were trying to get off the planet. Is there a similar end goal in this? Scenarios? How is the gameplay?

    What are you playing?

    I work from home and have had a week to screw off while waiting for my next project to start and I've been looking for something to play but it just seems like there is a lot of uninteresting shit out there. It's kind of a bummer. I'm not sure if it is what is being made or if I just have less...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    That's a straw man. Nowhere did I say "cheaper products should not have quality standards". I write software for a living, some of which, if it were to malfunction, could put human life at risk. I'm a huge believer in processes that ensure quality products. All I am saying is that if the...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    I guess the difference is that a Tesla is several orders of magnitude more-expensive than WC3. One is a serious investment that lasts for years and holds your life in your hands. The other is entertainment that is roughly cost of dinner at a mediocre restaurant. I get being pissed that the...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    Well, call me crazy I guess but I think these things don't have to be mutually exclusive: 1) Love gaming. 2) Not act like an autistic drama queen about gaming. 3) Get pussy.

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    I mean, I get that he is disappointed in the game and I am glad I didn't buy it early because I was excited about it. But how do you get this dramatically buttmad about this sort of superficial shit? Like dude, go get some pussy. First world problems I guess.

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    Wow. Glad I didn't buy this. I lost my old WC3 CDs and have had a hankering to go back and play this for a while so I was pumped Reforged was coming out. Reddit seems to be mostly unhappy with it. I guess I am back to waiting on M&B. Nothing else is really on my radar.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Reviews are currently 82%/86%. I think $25 is a little high for it but I think it is a decent pickup at $10-$15. It looks to me like they're still actively developing; there have been a couple of releases since I purchased it.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Since it is kind of a small community, I didn't think it deserved it's own thread, but if anyone would like sort of a M&B fix, have a look at this. Feels a lot like a M&B kind of game but in a modern military civil war setting. It still feels a little EAish but I got a lot of time out of it on...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    How do you guys handle loot? I'm in one of the top guilds on our realm that uses a "loot council" to distribute it. In theory, this means distribute the loot around evenly with a nuanced view of certain special cases for the grater good. In practice, I am starting to feel that this actually...

    They upheld the ban so he cancelled his sub and his Shadowlands purchase. Not that they care; safe space is definitely worth it.

    It's an abuse and completely unprofessional. They should ignore those reports. I'm not even a die-hard Trump supporter but I am tired of SJWs getting sandy twats about every little imperfection they perceive in the world.

    I asked him to see the ban reason. It was for the name. He said he was not trolling. He has given me permission to show the character name, only blacking out his RL name. Character name is "Magacountry"

    I assume it is a temporary ban. I only saw the "Appeal ban or suspension" page.

    As far as I know he was not saying anything. I've never seen him say anything having to do with it. He *has* said that people have given him shit for the name in the past and, when they do, I would not be surprised if he fired back but he is not the type to just go around trolling.

    To test this out, thinking about buying a blue 1.3 speed dagger since I have a decent BoE main-hand. Will this work well? Does it mean I like trannies?

    I get what you're saying about the macro except a part: If you /cast and the next line is /stop I'd think the stop would occur before the off hand it. Or should I think of it as two threads? <t1 /cast HS>.. <t2 hit off hand> ... <t1 /stop casting> ?

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Hey guys. Looking for some more thoughts on warrior strats. I leveled 31 Arms and dumped the rest in Fury up until 55. I used a 2H for questing and yet tanked with a 1H/shield, no problems at any point. At 55, switched a Protection hybrid as our guild (our server) is always looking for tanks...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Any of you catch the recent JRE podcast with David Fravor? Listening to that got me thinking about those videos again (Go Fast, Gimbal, Nimitz). Fravor has a pretty compelling story. It seems strange to me that this is not a bigger deal.

    I'm at 52 with my warrior. I somehow ended up falling into giant horde guild that is the first horde side to clear mc and kill ony. I have a feeling that by the time I finish the slog to 60 they'll all be tired of raiding. Plus I think we have like 50 warriors. Makes we wish I had rolled on...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Hm. Some of the guides I've read suggest HS should be in your rotation. Also, been meaning to ask, when tanking do you guys use a shield the whole instance or only on bosses (and maybe put it when there are a lot of casters.)?

    Curious what you guys think on a couple of warrior questions. 'm 46, spec'd 31/6/0/. - I just picked up a Stoneslayer. Nice increase in DPS over the Axe but I'm wondering whether it would make sense to respec to swords. I know you usually consider dps first and foremost but it is a big drop...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Fair enough on not starting with Taunt. I do use T-Clap on three or more but it doesn't seem to have a very high aggro value vs a mage AoEing. Good to know. I will change my sequence. Tanking is new to me and I haven't spent the time researching the Theorycraft like I did for when I main'd a...

    I tanked Uldaman in a PUG last night. I don't think I ever went through it back in the day. That place is a pain in the dick, especially with a shitty, cranky pug. It may be that I'm just a shitty tank but I find it hard as hell to maintain any sort of aggro when you're dealing with multiple...

    Somehow I'm about to hit 40 and I only have 40g. I probably spent < 2g on gear while leveling and actually turned a small profit on blacksmithing. Not sure where I went wrong but I need to make some cheese.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I started playing a few weeks ago and am having a blast. I started a warrior, which I had never played, and man is it easy to get into groups. Level 34 now. It seems like people are always looking for tanks. As far as I can tell, most of the guilds are shit on my server, though. Is there a...

    I never finished this previously so I re-installed it recently and now I remember why I didn't finish it. I finished EU and the original multiple times but this is just painful. Maybe I get too hung up on not losing soldiers but some of the missions are so retardedly difficult that it kills...
