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

    My first reaction is that AI isn't nearly smart enough for this to be reliably useful. I'm writing this while refactoring some idiot's code that used classes as de facto structs and namespace. And dictionaries as crude enumeration. So, maybe it has a place.

    There's a lot of conjecture that can be made of that type of future. I've noticed that the cell phone product cycle has slowed down as they've run out of obvious features to fit inside a black rectangle. I no longer need latest and greatest for my phone. In the world you're proposing, the...

    If SETI@home was inflating my gpu prices, then I'd say fuck little green men too. If social media was inflating my gpu prices, then I'd say fuck Mark Zuckerberg and Tom Anderson again. If Folding@home was inflating my gpu prices, then I'd say those proteins can go fold themselves. The...

    Any url action can use the query variables(the stuff after the ?). POST actions do indeed put their form data in the response body.

    Nah, Ossoi is here to humble brag. Everyone's dogpiling him, and rightfully so if even 10% of what he posts is true, but there's no back and forth going on. Just two sides going "no u".

    Been working with Python as my main language(but not my main job, QA engineer/manager) for 5+ years, but learned a few things from your post, thanks! What's the 3rd reference to `file` initially? Local, context manager, and...? I looked at the documentation for `with` and the semantic...

    Will the garbage collector be that aggressive? And what happened to the with block wanting to call the file handle's __exit__ function? Friend and I had the same discussion about shadowing. In Python3, turns out file is no longer a builtin! I tried the piece of code again while attaching...

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

    I've been musing on this. I put that code in the python interpreter and it doesn't get mad. Meaning the the syntactic sugar that `with` represents(try/finally) did not run the finally block, or not called on explicitly `file`. Did `with` remember what `file` originally represented and close...

    It's not without merit. But at the same time, I kinda feel like some guy shows you how to fire a gun complete with all the proper safety precautions then JJ Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Rian Johnson proceed to shoot themselves in the foot.

    Star Trek: Picard

    How about both? In The Pale Moonlight or The Siege of AR-558 are memorable in part because of their contrast to "regular" Star Trek. Ron Moore went on to BSG and the darker tones were the norm there, so they never stood out. That show had other issues that hampered it, so perhaps I'm not...

    I'll back off that a bit. My recollection came from RLM discussing the matter that basically Rick Berman was a passive aggressive asshole to certain cast members but wouldn't actually fire them.

    Oh, I know there's more going on than just crypto miners. Intel can't seem to work out the issues on their bleeding edge manufacturing process and there's drought in Taiwan affecting TSMC. But, I think it's wrong to dismiss crypto in this case. Those people aren't scalping because they're...

    My GPU isn't that old(1060 TI) but I'm just counting the days until *something* breaks the repairs are costly for really stupid reasons. I don't mind stuff being more expensive, but it should be for the right reason. Like paying the true(environmental and otherwise) costs to manufacture foods...

    Fair enough, I'll admit I misremembered that part. I still think the heart of my point is valid though. Regardless selling the gear or not, if you self-priced the gear lower because that's what it was worth on the open market, would that change your opinion of Harvest? The SSF argument makes...

    Path of Exile

    It's not always about the money, Spiderman. Market valuation was your argument. Perhaps shame on me to expect you to have a good faith discussion. My counter point was what would you think of Harvest if you couldn't make as much money from it? Cadden made a bunch of money from Heist this...

    Path of Exile

    How much money would you make if the gear you created wasn't inflated and obfuscated by the playerbase's unwillingness to participate in shitty systems(trade, crafting, stop mapping) and/or general lack of knowledge to do so? The latter part of your post is strawman garbage.

    Exactly. Until they demonstrate that they know how to mitigate the long term costs of coring leagues, I'm going to argue for removing some of the less valuable stuff.

    I have an alternative(PoE), it certainly makes a conscious difference. If this game was the only way to get modernish D2 gameplay, these issues would likely be overlooked.

    Path of Exile

    Keeping content in the game is at least part of the reason why the game's performance sucks. It's also why the game is so daunting to new players. Merging leagues into the base game is not free. I don't agree about Harvest being that powerful. At least, an intuitive "out of the box"...
