I got 36, I beat the league. I'll probably be back for flashback, though not sure what I want to play.

If your QA person is objectively a good developer, as in they are doing good development work in QA, why is that a problem? Pay them as much as a developer.

If that's your expectation of a QA position, then that's fine. Some people expect them to be good developers too, for better or worse. My product architect and myself being some of those people. The difference is that I'd like to see if that's even reasonable. Maybe expecting them to be good...

Pretty much this. I'd prefer the focus of a test engineer to code the test system and automation necessary to report failures. Some people here expect test engineers to test(manually? semi manually?) development code. I'm not saying that's wrong, but that's definitely a step back from what...

I agree with your points, but neither of these would seem to foster good development skills. I'm not sure I understand your point.

Where's my barf emoji?

It seems those two have solved their problem, so I have a question for the developers(so, most people?) of this thread. What's your criteria for a good software test engineer. I don't mean, write me a job req. But what is that person doing well for you think they are doing their job...

Not really. The only required viewings are Iron Man 3, Thor 1, and Thor 2. Oh, and the Andrew Garfield Spiderman movies are related, somehow.

How has anyone remotely interested in comic books and/or these movies not already spoilered themselves? I can't think of one memorable narrative from any Marvel movie. They're about somewhat quirky dialogue, quips/jokes, and fun set pieces.

I was trying to compare situations where both abilities spread damage. AE, essentially. On single target fights that matter, AC gets subbed out anyway. And it's those fights where MS's downside to lock you in place for 50% longer that really shows.

There were toys for Rogue One? That seems ridiculous, like a toy line for Hateful Eight.

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?

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.

You still fucked her, right?

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.

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!

Water has a high specific heat.

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...

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

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...

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...

Does all those fine for me. Well, except Plex, I don't use that.

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

Well, maybe my standards are higher, Mr Staff Player!

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

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...

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...

Blood play, duh.

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...

How many people here, or just programmers in general, maintain stuff on github? I ain't got time for that shit.

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...

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...

Maybe there's something wrong with my ears. That distortion that I've been complaining on the fire attack? I can hear it your video.

You know this is based on a comic book that's almost 30 years old?

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...

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.

Is this the same chick that wants you to tie her up?
