    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I don't see how anyone can actually answer that without seeing this movie first. But have you felt like any of Marvel movies have been linked together in anything but a loose manner?

    Path of Exile

    I got to thinking...if your ability benefits from Ancestral Call, is there really a reason to use Multistrike? Assuming you can get a comparable damage multiplier.

    How much time are they given to develop their coding skills? The lack of development time worries me. I'm scared I've sunk too much time into this position and I'm going to have to take a significant paycut to get into development formally.

    Got 36 achievements! First time I actually hit that goal. Shit, now I have to find a new game to play while waiting for next league.

    Path of Exile

    Looking for some tips on how to do the Pale Court achievement. Solo, but it seems someone killing tomes as their primary purpose would vastly help. Got enough chaos to blow on ~6 sets, it's my last achievement for 36!

    I assumed that was your point, just wanted to be sure. And I do agree, we're having trouble finding people that just plain want to do QA. If you program your test system with enough complexity and automation, it can be quite the development task. That Markov chain I mentioned? That was a...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I'm sure it tastes good, I like mustard in my stew. But "mustard dumplings" is not a good pairing of words.

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

    I'm of the mind that test engineers should be good developers too. Our test system is a mess for a variety of reasons, but mainly because QA is understaffed and we haven't been hiring people that are good developers. I'm trying to fix that. To be fair, control flow graph theory does come up...

    Definitely. One of them has said he wants to move to a developer position, multiple times. The other one wants to learn. He's a bit slow, doesn't have much programming experience, but I'm still giving him appropriate opportunities when they come up. The decision to hire is group wide. But...

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

    I always want to code more, that's the fun part of the job. But a job's a job, I understood the requirements when I took a managerial position. I may have written that from a personal standpoint but there are two other people on the QA team that he's insulting too. I want him to stop working...

    I had a conversation with our product architect and I'm not sure how I should react to it. My apologies if this isn't the right thread. We're looking for another software test engineer, someone whom I would manage. This is my first time sitting in on the technical question part of the...

    So, does that mean molten strike and blade flurry are on the chopping block too?

    Buying a bunch of fusing and blowing them all has to be the most unfun part of this game. Maybe buying maps.

    Path of Exile

    Perhaps not "better", but safer because Infernal Blow is hitting(and killing) many more targets. The red beasts love to call in friends. Animation lock is a good point. Maybe "worse than multistrike" is not correct. You definitely need to stand in place longer to get full efficiency...

    Path of Exile

    Been playing a Infernal Blow/Blade Flurry jugg, he's mainly my boss killer while a Poet's Pen build does the mapping. I'm kinda disappointed with how Blade Flurry performs. That stand and charge mechanic is worse than multistrike, I didn't even think that was possible. And I know I'm using it...

    I'm sure another will pop at some point. View Profile - Path of Exile - Deathwing6 Not sure what my last achievement should be. Obviously, I can get Alluring Abyss and Shaper, or just pay for a carry, and the essence release. Augmented maps and completing the bestiary seem like a huge pain...

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

    Need some more information, but that sounds like you don't have a proper QA department. Segfaults from valgrind should a pretty easy automated test to setup. I haven't worked with C++ in a while. Shared pointers seem like a good improvement without going full garbage collector style. Does...

    Path of Exile

    The only sounds that should be out of place are shatters or blood explosions! There's a few posts from years ago of people complaining about wild strike, so that likely means they are never going to fix it...oh well. I wonder if there's a way to hack the sound files to just remove that sound...

    Path of Exile

    I've been having a lot of fun with a Poet's Pen build that utilizes Elementalist(only sensible way to get elemental prolif on a PP build) Arc, Lightning Warp, and Inpulsa's for clearing, and Ball Lightning, Shock Nova, and MoM for face tanking bosses. This is the first "dps while moving" build...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Do they? All the expanded universe shit has been decanoned. There's potential, but I don't think Star Wars has done a good job at all building their settings.

    I'm probably a little off here, but are you going to be hosting this on a platform you can control? Maybe you can use PAM or LDAP auth modules instead?

    So, I'm at 28 challenges and the remainder to 36 looks a bit grindy/RNG. Gear upgrades for my Infernal Blow/BF Jugg are already in exalt range, so he's pretty much "finished". I'm rerolling to make the remaining grind a bit more interesting. I've decided upon a Poet's Pen build with an...

    Conceptually, I would agree with your senior developer. Database access can often be the bottleneck for performance. And it might not seem like a limitation at the moment, wait until you have a customer that wants your tool to analyze 6M+ lines of java code, so now your application is pegging...
