    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    They should have called it a stress test. I agree a beta it is not.

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    Mayweather, like every other conscious human, knew his only shot of losing was off a boxer's chance punch in the early rounds. He let Conner wear himself out while also gauging his distance. After the 3rd Mayweather seemed to be comfortable enough to go on the offensive at which point Conner's...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    The guys at Bungie did a great job on the PC port. It looks and feels amazing. I've been excited to see the community reaction once they finally get their hands on it because everything felt great from the builds I played.

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    You could argue esports are killing the industry. Valve is the owner of the #2 and #3 esport titles and if you interlace cosmetics with esports you have a money printing formula.

    Why Today's Movies Suck

    I haven't watched Batman in forever. Those practical effects are hilariously bad.

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    L4D2 was good but it felt like a DLC to L4D1. A big DLC, but a DLC none the less.

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    You left off L4D as well. While it doesn't have the long standing legs of HL1/HL2/Portal it was still extremely high stuff when it came out. Unfortuantely L4D2 I think shows more "new valve" of get it out fast.

    Why Today's Movies Suck

    While I do agree that movies overall seem worse quality recently than in the past we're living through the best years of television at the moment. I think all the good writers just moved over to TV since that is more a writer's platform.

    If Zarcath runs out I have a couple codes as well. Only PM me if Zarcath is out or you're 100% sure I don't hate you.

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    At Valve since everyone is "in charge" and everyone shares the profits more-so than most companies as an individual contributor it makes sense to do things that make money and make them quickly. Going away for 3-5 years to make HL3 and it returns 800m to the company sounds good but at the same...

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    Halflife wasn't an accident. I was neighbors with a guy from Sierra. He was hyping up that game to me for a good long time before it came out. Everyone in the industry knew Valve had a hit on their hands. I'd agree on Starcraft multiplayer being an accident but Halflife was not.

    30 seconds. 10 seconds while her Q is active. Her Q also resets the cooldown when you active it. The range now is pretty sure short though. It is less range than a Tracer blink for reference.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I thought the discussion scenes were awkward as well. So when the Brotherhood characters saw Gendry at the keep they all met up at they just said "Well we're all here time to get moving!" and didn't discuss what they did at all? It wasn't my biggest gripe of this episode but it did feel unnatural.

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    My wife is making me watch this. As a disclaimer I don't really like any of the Marvel Netflix shows. DD is the best but even then I find the pacing slow, the action repetitive, the storylines inane and the characters unlikeable. This show is basically taking all of 4 and combining them into...

    Relocating to Orlando Florida

    I was really confused here because I thought Vaclav was talking about OC, CA not OC, FL. I didn't know FL had an Orange county.

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

    Yes it is an array. Effectively the hash is the index in the array. Under the hood (looking at the code right now) it is a Node<K,V>[] and the Node is effectively the linked list which has an int hash, K key, V value and Node<K,V> next. So during retrieval it gets the Node from table[hash]...

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

    No the keys get hashed via hashCode on the Key object. This then gets stored in what they like to call a bucket which is basically the hash of the Key. If there is a hash collision then multiple keys are stored in the same bucket and popped into a linked list. For retrieval if a bucket has...

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

    I can't speak for all impls but I don't believe Java's hashmap uses a BST under the hood. It hashes the key (buckets) and if multiple items exist for that bucket it pops them into a linked list and then checks for the actual value via equality checks.

    Prosser? Maybe looks wise but she's a psycho religious person. They didn't have sex before getting married. Personally I think Incontrol is a decent enough looking dude with a funny personality that they seem like a pretty equal match. Every interview I've heard with her she seems to have...

    Real Estate Agents - Anyone have this career?

    If you want to be a buyer's agent you need to know the ins and outs of mortgages. My buying agent sure took me around and showed me homes but his real value was in knowing exactly what to do with my mortgage and that was knowledge I didn't have. Like do you know the point penalty for a jumbo...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think the ring I bought my wife instantly appraised at like $10k over what I paid for it

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    To be fair the ring may be appraised and insured at 30k but it isn't like you'd find anyone in a million years to even pay 1/3 of that on the secondary market unless it is tons of gold

    I love how you said you don't understand the obsession with female streamers and now you're here responding to people who don't like her to defend her. Sounds to me like someones got a crush on a girl who has no idea about your existence.

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

    Ya most companies if you used any of their hardware or did anything on company time they own the software. Some places are even like Lend says where if you do any work on the development while still employed at the company they own it. The latter is harder to enforce than the previous.

    Steam Early Access Gaming - Guilty Pleasure Pick-Ups

    Rimworld launched as a game worth full price. Early access allowed the developers to not have to package the game up and sell it as complete and allowed them a revenue stream to really perfect and polish the game. The biggest issue with EA is not everyone is a Rimworld and games will come out...

    About 20-25 minutes in the morning about 35 in the evening. I could have bought a place in Irvine to make it a 5-10 minute commute both ways but I really disliked Irvine. Irvine is hot, flat and beige.

    I was actually surprised how many people said a major reason for applying at my company was to move to Southern California. Sure actually living in OC is great (especially near the coast where the temp is manageable all year) but you have to make a ton of concessions. It isn't necessarily a...

    I vastly prefer to be busy than sitting around having to post on FoH all day. At least I can boot up Overwatch or something to pass the time but if you do it too much it'll raise alarms as well. I come home way more exhausted doing nothing all day than jamming on the keyboard all day.

    Getting the original running on a modern OS is a bit of a pain in the ass. However the fixes for that are now bundled into the anthology anyways. The patch added modern match making, enhanced observer features and a few bug fixes. All the Remaster adds is the HD sprites. If you could...
