The inability to make informed healthcare choices as a customer. Doctor: we'd like to perform this operation on you. Me: How much is it going to cost? Here's my insurance information. Doctor: *shoulder shrug* It's astounding a profession that exists primarily for the patient's well-being...

Maybe we'll get a scene where Moxie violently shits out her guts.

No, sir, that's toxic masculinity.

Hah, deductible is 1500. Yeah, I'll just go buy a new one.

Is homeowner's insurance similar to car insurance in that it's not worth filing a claim under a certain dollar amount? A screen door became unlatched and some high winds smash it against some accumulated ice and snow on the deck. It's bent to all hell and the cheap particle board interior...

Time to bust out your oscilloscope! I'm assuming you've tried different offsets around 32kb, testing for ++ errors somewhere in the code. My initial guess is that the initial communication isn't being handled correctly to leave continued communication as a possibility. Is this SPI or I2C?

Knowing not to use a regex on every line of a file is not worthy of an award.

When I first started, I found working with Python really frustrating. I didn't know the language, no one else here really had a good IDE to recommend, so I was winging it in Notepad++. Admittedly, my year or so of code is really sloppy. I've since found that using an IDE with an automatic...

Yes, we're aware of the looming security risks with continuing to use Python 2. We're one of "those shops" where we decided regular python wasn't good enough for us, so it was doctored up. Upgrading to 3 isn't going to be as plug and play as it should be.

I'm not familiar with fstrings, what do they do that format doesn't? My current employer is stuck in Python 2, so we're a bit behind the times.

I'm not going to defend the shortfalls of weak typing, but can you give some examples? I've found some `assert isinstance` will fix typing ambiguity issues. The other one I commonly run into is old style print formatting where you need to know the type or hope the object implemented str() or...

D3 sold on Blizzard's name and years of D2 nostalgia. The latter is still going strong, many were eager to forgive and forget at this year's Blizzcon. It is not as simple as just making any arpg.

Why would anyone want to play with a bot?

What answer can I give that won't result in ad hominems or arguing the wrong point?

Ah, another round of mkopec argues subjectively with someone obviously trying to debate objectively.

Like depending on client's clock instead of your own server's?

I would appreciate some feedback from someone who enjoys playing Blade Vortex. The stack maintenance, to me, meshes so poorly with the standard map clearing prioritizing: 1. See pack? Go hit it it. 2. Don't see pack? Go find one. 3. Repeat. I considered BV unplayable before Unleash, but...

GGG tends to pick visual themes for their leagues. For the current league, metamorph, they picked straight black. Almost everything related to league content is shiny black goo. PoE has always had an issue with visual clarity, probably a side effect of the game being funded by MTX. There's...

You should take another look at PoE if you think the genre is stale. Their latest innovation is finding how much of your screen they can paint black.

Oh, I assumed Koushirou was referring to Valentine's day. I completely forgot about President's Day. President's Day deserves consideration just because it's federal.

Today's not a holiday. As in, no serious place of employment is going to give you any consideration on that angle. Unless you work at Hallmark.

I know, that's usually how I spot the trolly posts.

You might be right, but I didn't see anything ridiculously misspelled in that post.

Hopefully the show gets back on track this season!

That's called world building and seems to be in short supply these days. The supply of good writers has definitely not kept up with glut of entertainment.

Wait, you cleared maps with blight in PoE?

So will he! I don't see 4 white sockets.

Generally, I agree with everyone's points about not entertaining a counter offer. Maybe I'm being lazy, maybe I'm making the wrong decision. It's not terribly hard to find a new job as an experienced software developer. I'll be closer to inconvenienced than fucked if I do end jobless/replaced...

Yes, that's what I decided Monday.

Gotcha. I'm not purporting to be some unique snowflake, but that's not the gist I got. I got a raise out of it and improvements were already in place after I'd accepted the initial job offer but before a start date had been established. But, that said, I'd be happy(or maybe not) to come back...

Yep, I took the latter into account when considering a counter offer. As for the former, they seem to want me but obviously that could all be lies.

Gone as in replaced/fired?

Yeah, they can.

I was trying to save Scourge Arrow Pathfinder for next league. I still haven't figured out how poison builds sustain life.

lol, 2017. Star Trek died well before that.

So, if I want to play a prolif build, as in blow up packs until you can't chain anymore, what is the complete set of options? Asenath's Gentle Touch plus HoA or HoI(usually ash). Explodey chest can technically prolif itself but isn't strong enough, so usually needs HoA or HoI. Pathfinder with...

You're correct. I wasn't expecting the response I got, otherwise I would have done as you suggest. Getting it in writing is a good idea.

Yep, that is true. I'm fine with that as making the right choice for my career is worth more than bridge.

I think I was trying to fit in a kaoms. This was last league, I would say the barrage is required now.

Orb of storms and storm brand assassin with void batteries and badge of the brotherhood. Ice shot is fun for clear, wasn't enthused about single target.
