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

    I'd say that's changed quite a bit. JS is often both the front and back end solution (i.e. Angular front end with Node/Express back end). The prevailing term for people who do both is "Full Stack Developers". Dynamic, weakly typed interpreted languages though generally facilitate the production...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I would posit that the baby isn't the most surprising part of the whole scenario.

    Dealing with addiction

    Hyper-v core doesn't give you the ridiculously small footprint of nano. ESXi is a much better option if free is your only requirement. Technically though, Nano does not require activation or anything like that so if it's only for hobby, I'd just use it without licenses.

    They're offering YouTubeTV in my area now, I might try that.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    SlingTV was the absolute shittiest of the 3 major services when I tried it (Vue was the best but most expensive). I sincerely hope they all get better but for now everyone should prepare to be underwhelmed.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Well my method requires zero code rewrites and does not disable mq2ic. Let's just say mq2ic was created for phinny, hence why my method will not work on phinny.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Hmmm so I'll preface this with a disclaimer that I will not be helping anyone with MQ2. However, I had it working day 1 of Agnarr. I'm pretty certain that people using it now used the same method I did and that means that it will not work on Phinny - and judging my what Korrupt is saying this is...

    Smartphones

    I've had both phones and like android better for a lot of reasons. The only time they perform poorly is when you either load up a shit ton of apps or the OS progresses beyond your phones hardware. Both things can also happen to Apple. I will say that iMessage is definitely the better messaging...

    Situations at work thread

    Post it on reddit and linkedin and shit like that. Maybe throw some flyers around a local college campus. Targeting women is a dicey proposition though. I mean if they apply awesome, but if you go posting your position in "femtech" communities you might wind up with a huge HR nightmare on your...

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

    Generally speaking I would log stuff that is written to stdout to logging.info and stuff that is stderr to logging.error and reserve the debug log for logging things like variable values and array sizes or things of that nature. I notice there are also some print statements that you want to...

    How to handle a bad VP

    The two bosses in between you and this VP need to be fully covering you here. I've been in situations like this where a a bigwig is jumping down the chain and I'll run them right to my boss until they're standing in my cube and then I'll still point to where my bosses office is. You need thems...

    How much is MQ2 spreading on Phinny now? Or is Phinny past the point where it matters?

    What IP would make a great MMO?

    I always thought Wheel of Time would make a good MMO as there is already a well fleshed out class system and various races with tons of lore to draw on.

    I believe I was still able to shrink, sit right on a door, camp, then log back in and click off shrink then walk through. I can't remember if I did that on Agnarr or phini though.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    All of the legit streaming services suck really bad. Directv now actually got worse as time went on and not having local channels sucked. I use plex with one these http://a.co/aY7A0Lb and an antenna for local shit and then get all my shows/movies from Amazon prime and downloading/ripping rentals.

    I know some JS guys that get paid good bucks working for google, salesforce and other high techs. I think they are fairly involved in the back end as well though so it's not purely front end artsy shit.

    There are big concentrations of high tech jobs all over both coasts. Seattle, New York, Boston, Raleigh, Atlanta and Texas as well. There are even more jobs with non high tech companies all over the US as literally every sector needs and makes huge investments in technology. If you like CA and...

    Torrents

    Ive just been renting from Redbox and handbraking the movies to my Plex server. It's slow manual labor but low risk. I get tv shows from eztv which is public Access and thus far has worked great. I use yts for movies I can't rent or borrow from someone.

    I bought some Merrell fst shoes for half off at Academy before I went to Egypt and I'll be damned if these things aren't the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned.

    NFL Streaming Thread - 2017/18

    I set up nfl2go on my fire TV 1 (the box) using the latest release of Kodi and the add-on they provide through the site. If anyone is having trouble with it, hard set your quality to 1600k. I was trying to use auto and 6000k at first and it was running like shit but 1600k has run absolutely...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    I really liked Prometheus. The aesthetic was really good and I thought it opened the door for a lot of good possibilities. Covenant, while I didn't feel it was a total waste of time, definitely didn't do anything to advance the plot of the overall story and felt more like a side story if even...

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    I cut my Unix teeth on Solaris/SPARC and even though it lacked a lot of QoL that Linux brought, I still think it had all the cool shit before the world was ready for it. With zones, jumpstart, live upgrade and a lot of bash I was doing all of the automation people take for granted with...

    I've never been with a woman that disliked being cummed on. Maybe not right in right in the eyeballs or mouth, but stomach, back, tits, etc. Has always been received enthusiastically. Id honestly be shocked if I met someone who out right couldn't stand it.

    Titles don't mean shit and most people in this industry stopped paying attention to them decades ago when the large wave of next-next-finish system "admins" and "engineers" hit the scene. You should be able to tell pretty quickly if someone has the experience to succeed in any given role, so...
