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

    You can accomplish the same shit in PHP as you can in any other interpreted language. I don't know why it would be a bad choice as it was probably the most popular web dev language until recently. Even then, I'm sure there's tons of PHP in the wild still.

    Python. I'd honestly learn straight python, but if you use Django or Flask you can get a web app going in literally like 5 minutes. CppCMS — High Performance C++ Web Framework There is a C++ web framework oddly enough lol.

    I learned HTML in like 95 before CSS and got stuck in the table mindset. If I'm being real though, I still like tables better since they scale very predictably. JavaScript is funky as fuck. I read an article once about people going to great lengths to obscure it and someone wrote a script that...

    I'd actually prefer to be a full time developer but because my career has mostly been in the "admin" arena, I'd probably have to take a paycut to be a junior dev for a little while and I can't afford that. On the other hand, I get to do plenty of scripting and some small compiled stuff when it...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    If they limited classic and Kunark to 1 month each (with RF/LJ exp rates) I'd play it again. Mainly just because I could take a break and grind out 60 in Velious. I'd say the 50-60 grind in Kunark is one of the most soul crushing grinds in the entire game of EQ (even more so with classic-esque...

    If you can't afford to have family stay with you then they should understand and attempt to help. I could easily cover the extra expenses so I would let any of my family stay with me (well except the one cousin that's always in and out of jail) rent free. However, if they are slobs or start...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Most of the sellers on RG want you to be verified which means paying a membership fee (it's cheap, like 10 bucks a year) and sending in docs. 10 bucks is whatever, but I don't really want them having my photo id on file. I just used PlayerAuctions instead (dusted off my circa 2000 account even)...

    That's my situation as well. I'd love to do mythic but I couldn't do it in good conscience with my current play time. However, if we had the numbers and wanted to roll through M EN for the last few weeks until NH comes out, I'd be down.

    I don't think most people thought that. I also understood the reference you were making regarding mythic so I knew it wasn't a complaint. I expect you to be present for NH. Or the fuck you posts will intensify.

    I find Glassdoor to be a good source of info. I try to find actual reviews from IT workers when I look because most large companies will have tons of "it was shit." 1 star type of reviews from people who had revolving door type of jobs like call center or sales. I also go to linked in and look...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Odyn is an exercise in frustration without balanced melee and ranged dps. We lose so much dps on Odyn during phase 2 that it draws the phase out ridiculously long which drains healer mana and basically causes even a single dps death to make the encounter a lost cause. We have melee folks who can...

    It's not that I don't want to I just don't have the time to do it. Most weeks I get maybe 4 hours of time to play outside of raiding and it's not always in one sitting so I pretty much just do WQs. I am also woefully behind on AP and AK (27 and 15 repectfully) due to having weeks where I did not...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I can't dictate to any one how to have fun with this game, but realistically, you don't need the best of gear to do well in Normal and Heroic raids. I'd encourage anyone who finds the Friday/Monday raid fun to show up and have fun (especially ranged DPS :D). I've never done a mythic+. Hell I...

    I've been looking at H Odyn logs... It really looks like lack of range is a pretty big obstacle for this fight. Most people kill him around 8:30-9 minutes - that's not even with particuarly good DPS. I wish I had the time to go full stop hunter right now, but it's not feasible.

    We could do the same song and dance regarding <insert religion, political party, etc. here>. Just because some people did some bad stuff under the pretense of a good cause does not invalidate that cause. I know a guy who took a shit on the outside of a toilet once. Doesn't mean that toilets are...

    If you had a program with some huge static collections then I'd definitely use a tuple over a list.

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

    A lot of times I don't think it particularly matters which type of collection you use. I suppose a tuple would be the "safest" in this case. I like use tuples for things like storing simple paramaters (where a dictionary isn't really necessary) or segmenting strings like an IP address into...

    VPN advice and recommendations

    Your ISP can only see the traffic between you and the VPN. The "interesting" traffic would all happen within the VPN, which is a separate network from your ISP and thus they do not have access. What the government can do though is make ISPs ban VPN providers that don't log / surrender logs when...

    Assembly (in my limited experience) is quite a bit different than higher level programming. The instructions are very rudimentary and you have to actually be concerned about memory location and register placement and very low level things. It seems to me that it would take millions of lines of...

    I guess I've been lucky enough to land on good contracts that actually have me doing some pretty impressive shit with cool people.

    I've seen a lot places implement TFS to basically only do what SVN does. In which case, I'd way rather use SVN as well. I've worked with dudes who refuse to learn how to use a debugger as well because they can just write print statements to debug.

By doing so, we could actually host json files on the web and allow people to pass in a url and just download all those addons. It would be cool for a...

    I'd contribute to the rere-forge client. Curse just updated the two repos, which probably would have broken my old stuff anyway since it relied on scraping the pages.
