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

    And, on another topic, does anyone else have a developer on their team that just loves creating their own custom solutions to common problems? Case in point, we needed a logging mechanism for our software and one of the developers decided to just make his own. Stuff like this irriates the hell...

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

    Where I work our engineers are given titles of "Junior Software Developer" and "Software Engineer I-IV". Is anyone else like that or similar? And, if so, how does one graduate from one title to another? So far, for us, it seems as if you're hired at a particular rank and are forever stuck...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Maybe it's because I gorged myself on DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, and Quake during the 90s, but I have zero interest in these competitive FPS games. I still enjoy a good single player campaign, though.

    The Walking Dead

    "Walls don't keep you safe" I'm out.

    The Orville

    Yes, this was a great episode. Every bit as good as TNG's In Theory.

    The Orville

    That was explored and didn't work out too well for the female. In Theory

    The Magicians

    Although that scene was a bit silly. After the third try one would wonder if they're even having an effect.

    Witcher 3

    That's one of the reasons I went with a walk-through. Their are choices you make which aren't immediately clear how it'll impact things.

    I swear to God, that is one __ugly__ woman.

    Witcher 3

    I received an email from Sony with my 2018 gaming statistics. My Witcher 3 play time is currently at 205 hours! And I'm still not done -- with the original content -- not counting the expansions!!!1

    Kingdom

    First episode was freakin great. Highly recommended.

    The Passage (Fox)

    Only two episodes in, but I'm enjoying it. The characters are extremely likable. Only thing dumb in the last episode was putting a retarded (literally) cleaning crew perilously close to vampires.

    The Orville

    I dunno, man. She looks great from the waist up but something is going on with those scrawny legs.

    The Orville

    Any reasonably advanced civilization, especially the one depicted in the episode, would absolutely understand that constellations would be completely different from the vantage point of another star system. So that right there irritated the shit out of me. Also, any reasonably intelligent...

    The Orville

    second episode of Discovery felt like classic Trek. And I quite appreciate the TOS sound effects.

    Batwoman

    I like how her 90lb self is able to toss around guys twice her weight. Costume is ridiculous with that wig.

    The Orville

    Whoever wrote that episode is an idiot. For The Orville to make it to a season 3 they really need to hit it out of the park each and every episode. You can't be lazy with this genre.

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

    I raised this concern when we decided to go with a Javascript client side framework for our web app (instead of a server-side MVC framework). The general feeling was that Javascript is so pervasive at this point that no one will be running their browser with JS scripting off. Of course it...

    Briefly looked at that site -- seems like custom javascript. I'll look at it more in-depth later. However, quick search found "Owl Carousel" which seems to function like the site you linked? Mousewheel Demo | Owl Carousel | 2.3.4

    Star Trek: Discovery

    As someone mentioned above, the Enterprise uniforms were considered the "new" design?

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

    What kind of stuff does your friend do as a "designer"? Is he drawing shit in Illustrator/whatever and hands that off to a developer?

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

    UIkit is a great, full-featured CSS framework. JQWidgets, free for personal use, is an excellent widget library that's based on Jquery. However, none of these detect the mousewheel for the slider natively so you'd have to hack in your own logic (which shouldn't be too difficult, but still may...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Why the FUCK is the captain going on a highly dangerous away mission? Yeah, I know, Kirk and sometimes Picard did this as well but not necessarily when the risk of death is highly probable. That shit was retarded. Also, what the hell, does each ship have its own custom uniform design? Show...

    I typically use UI toolkits/frameworks that have already worked out the buggy, cross-platform bullshit. Anyway, what's your code look like?

    The Passage (Fox)

    Did I miss something why they want this particular girl? Couldn't they just say 'fuck it' and grab some random homeless kid off the street? I mean, you know, if they are already okay with murdering innocent people in order to complete the objective.

    I thought this was pretty good. Change my mind.

    Laptop Computers

    I bought a DELL laptop which came with 8GB of DDR4-2400 RAM. I want to add another 8GB. Is it super important to get exactly the same DIMM manufacturer (DELL is using a Samsung module according to CPUZ)? Or can I buy any ol' DDR4-2400 module and be fine?

    Witcher 3

    Nah, dude, you missed out on one of the best parts of the game. By the way, is it possible to go the celibate route and not hook up with Triss nor Yennefer? Did a quick search and read that romancing both is a bad idea, but not sure if there's an option to turn them both down. heh.

    Witcher 3

    I'm a casual gamer. I tend to play for no more than 4 hours during the week, and sometimes taking a long break before resuming play. I looked back at the date of my first Witcher 3 trophy -- early March of last year. So I've been playing this damn game for nearly a year now. Granted, I...

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    Still slowly working through this, but still enjoying it. I must say, for an older chick, Michelle Gomez is kinda hot in this. Also one thing that's beginning to get on my nerves is how Kiernan Shipka bobs her head around when she speaks. The director needs to tell her to cut it out.
