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

    Yeah, that's part of the problem. Devs want bugs filed or for us to update baselines if we think the product behavior change is good or not. I'd much prefer them to review the results themselves but their time is constrained as it is. Everyone's bug count, including my own, is going up, not down.

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

    We're expected to dig into the failures a bit before opening bugs for devs. It's probably my biggest gripe about this job. How am I supposed to make any efficient headway on a bug from a codebase I never work in? So most of the time we just manually open bugs and paste in the information we...

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

    Ah, ok, that makes sense. Also, thanks for reminding me I still spend 1-4 hours a day reviewing test regression results :( Some of it needs to be looked at by a human since it product behavior but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the work couldn't be automated away. It's kind a catch 22 in...

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

    Good job, but why couldn't you put that on your resume before? Sure, it wouldn't as impressive because you wouldn't be able to quote realist man hours saved. But if the application saves time regardless if people use or even officially support, I'd still put it on your resume.

    Constructed: R20: card back R15 and every 5 ranks after: 1 pack from the current expansion guaranteed to be all golden but independent of pity timers Do something to make losing not as painful. Can't lose rank every 5 ranks or you can only lose so many consecutive stars. Something to...

    Hearthstone

    That's 1-2 arena runs, which I consider better rewards than an extra golden common. Play arena to collect gold/dust/packs to then expand your collection. Then use your cards to play constructed to get golden portraits and cards? I've got the cards to play pretty much any deck but I'd still...

    Hearthstone

    Do they need to make the rewards for ladder considerably better? I used to rank to 5 because the rewards for legendary weren't worth the time lost playing arena. Then I made the same rationalizations for dropping down to 10 and then 15 last season. And I don't think I'm wrong even at 15. Play...

    That's the other problem. Technically, I can make it in, so why use my limited sick days now? I might really need them later!

    So, you can't prepare or eat anything that requires more than one plate and fork?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Slackers and losers take sick days! I can easily work from home and yet just the perception of not being in the office when I possibly could have been is sometimes enough to motivate me to come in. I agree with your notion, it's just really hard not to feel compelled to come into work if you can.

    Yep, I think I've even found it's affecting my taste in games. I have to read a bunch of shit? Nope. Tutorial screens? Nope. Get in, play, put it down when someone needs my attention. I keep going back to hearthstone despite multiple rage quits because it fits that "casual gaming"...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've considered buying a laptop just for this reason. Work + kid + dinner takes up 12 hours of your day, easily. I still want to play games, spend time with wife, fix shit around the house, maybe put an extra hour or two of work. Fuck, just not enough time. Gotta be more efficient.

    I always tell my wife that women have many more non-verbal tools at their disposal to initiate sex. Just take out your titties, wag em around, start sucking on them. You'll get fucked. Now, regardless of whether I'm right about available tools...my idea implantation has worked exactly 0 times :(

    You just use a couple pieces of newspaper with a chimney starter. If you wanted to be extremely purist about while still being quick, get one of those souped-up hair dryers.

    My guess is that the plot will follow SG:A just a bit too much. And instead of Sheppard and McKay fart jokes, you get SJW hamfistedness.

    Addons are a crutch!
