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

    I've been doing remote embedded since about 2016. Got all the equipment I need, etc. It has its challenges but it 100% beats going into an office.

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

    I know several people who have worked directly with Elon and they all report him to be a maniac and/or asshole. Although, if you have ever seen the video of him telling the story of when SpaceX was on their last leg, he seems to be sincerely emotional about it. He's certainly doing his part...

    If you think "Mexico" and "Safe" belong in the same sentence, I'd say you're out of your fucking mind. Please explain.

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

    Yeah I've interviewed with SpaceX and been called by some other space companies but as a software/firmware person you'll inevitably have to move to some liberal shithole. I don't think there is any amount of money for which I would move to LA, SF, Seattle, etc.

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

    I'm working at a nice little company; treated well, appreciated, got a 40k increase last year (I had received another offer and they countered), usually pretty cushy, low bullshit factor, great boss, meaningful product, and... I'm at a point where I'm just bored/burned out. Do you guys get...

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

    Still employed, but I have been thinking more seriously about my next move. Can we add recruiters to the list of useless people in organizations? 90% of them are fucking awful. 99.99999% if you go international and count all of the Pajeets calling about random jobs. I would imagine most...

    Wait, are you actually Tom "I have some AMAZING UFO info but I can't share now" DeLonge?

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Ah, MFF, the guy who never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like. Tell me, what do you consider to be the most compelling evidence that these sightings do not have prosaic explanations. Believe me, I would love nothing more than to see an actual extra-terrestrial or super-terrestrial craft...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    "may be" reverse engineering, "could be" aliens. Wake me up when someone has something concrete. Until then, I will just assume that Corbell, Elizondo, Greer, etc. are just faggot grifters. As a matter of fact, if an alien rings my doorbell in 5 minutes, those three are still faggot grifters...

    Sons of the Forest

    $30? Eh. I guess we'll see whether it will turn out to be a good investment. Lots of imbalanced and/or annoying shit. - Fish traps don't work. - Meat takes forever to dry and then just fucking disappears too quickly after drying. - Limited to carrying 3 fish. Not even enough to fill up a...

    Sons of the Forest

    Been playing a lot of 7DTD and some of the mods out there really improve the experience.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    This. We hit Mistlands and everything sort of petered out. It all becomes a little tedious. Good game though. Easily worth the price.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I don't know of any mods that add personality to NPCs but there is a mod called Distinguished Service that allows you to optionally promote troops to companions when they meet certain conditions. I think it is something like max level and 5 kills in a single battle. When you promote them, you...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Probably true, but I doubt it is to the same extent as Bannerlord. Go have a look at the forums and see what bugs and missing features people have been asking about for years. They just half-ass shit and constantly introduce and re-introduce bugs. It's much prettier than Warband, of course...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I have gotten my money out of it but it really has some problems once you get beyond the veneer. Maybe after another 5 years.

    What are you playing?

    Currently playing 7DTD with the Darkness Falls mod. Epic. If you try the mod, make sure you patch to the current dev branch to fix the end game storyline quest. 7DTD has so much potential and those retards keep churning systems but just need to fucking optimize it. A decade in Alpha. PS- If...

    Grim Dawn

    I've only dabbled with this for a few minutes but I started a Demolitionist, selected Fire Strike as my first skill, and mapped it to a hotkey. Is there some way to make that the default attack with mouse click or do I just have to keep spamming the hotkey?

    Chat GPT AI

    Interesting. I tried asking a few different ways and it kept giving me the answer about it being disrespectful. I even tried pinning it down on the "respect" argument since it doesn't have the ability to feel respect.

    Chat GPT AI

    I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about Nancy Pelosi, in style of Robert Frost, using the linguistics of Donald Trump. It refused on the grounds that it would be disrespectful to Nancy and Robert. Fuck off you humorless, woke, Trannybot.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Reading the forum, a lot people saying the update is a mess. Lots of CTDs. Wanderers disappearing. Renown calculations not working. There is still so much in the game that is bare-bones half-assed shit that it might as well be early early access. Courting, Marriage, Workshops, Companions...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    One of the few patches with significant additions so I will give them that. I guess the new roguery gameplay options will be interesting? Nothing jumps out at me that makes me want to load it up again.

    What are you playing?

    Balls deep in Valheim with a group of friends. Just took out Modor and so now we'll probably spend a few days upgrading and prepping for the Plains. We already have a base there we'll need to spin up some of our new unlocks, prep gear, etc.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    My Dad was a firefighter and this was one of the dishes they made at the station to feed a big group and he made it at home too. You have to add some cheese though. We called it "Targoo" and fucking loved it.

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

    I find most of the contract houses that contact me are either offering rates that, annualized, are less than my current salary, and/or are Indians spamming positions that are probably unrelated to my background. Hard pass.

    What are you guys using for job searches these days? I can't decide if my current employer or LinkedIn is more annoying.

    Dwarf Fortress

    This game seems like it is one of those games that is more fun to talk/think about playing than actually playing (Eve?). It sounds good on paper but it's so ugly, complicated and unforgiving that I just don't get it. I tried the original a couple of times but it just seemed so bad. What am I...

    What are you playing?

    I have started Skyrim a couple of times and I always end up getting bored and stopping near the beginning, basically right after the werewolf storyline. This is probably heresy. Every now and then I think about starting it up and trying a different playstyle to see if it clicks. Don't think I...

    Please help find who murdered my friends family member

    Yeah I have been following the updates on Reddit. Seems like LE really mishandled this. Hopefully they got the right guy.

    What are you playing?

    Satisfactory seems like a great game but I never really get into it because I'm always solo. My kid and I just finished a playthrough of XCOM2 on veteran difficulty. Used Parsec to do remote play and each of us would bring 3 soldiers on each mission. It was a blast. Looking for the next...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    If I want to a dedicated server to host this on g-portal or something, is there some way to select the test branch or is that just a client thing? Already set it up on Steam.

    Played it for 15 minutes and could not figure out the first objective. I also thought it looked like shit. I might have been drinking.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Dude. If it can be observed with the human eye, it can be photographed. In addition, we can take photos outside of the visual spectrum. All shapes? All colors? Really? Did you see any shaped like a giant rainbow penis? All altitudes? So you saw one at ground level? What a fucking lazy...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    So, basically, you're confirming what I said above. Nevertheless, I would be curious to hear your description of what you are seeing. 1) Shape/color/size? 2) Altitude/distance? 3) Time of day? 4) Frequency/reliability? 5) Location, direction of travel, direction of source? 6) Are there any...
