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

    This is for battle net. The teams hire differently. And the hacker rank only allows you to get your foot in the door for an on-site interview. We've only passed on I believe one person who sounded good on the phone but he completely and utterly bombed the hacker rank. It wasn't gotcha...

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

    Generally culture fit is pretty decent. Some people it is pretty obvious they're just using Blizzard as a stop-gap to get to Google. There are a bunch of people here from google and a ton that leave to google. I think the problem right now is these last few positions are realistically the...

    Losing your Job

    It is my team vs another team. Since we're engineers the competition will be fierce I'm sure. Although I voted we go bowling so I could sit at the bar and drink but this works too. Maybe I can convince my team to bring flasks.

    Persona 5

    Yeah the music choices for Persona have always been top notch. Nothing better than some J-Pop blaring in the background while you're discussing getting diddled by a teacher.

    Escape rooms are almost turn key. You just have one dude sitting at the counter making $9/hr while charging $30/person. It is a fantastic business model.

    Persona 5

    I think P3 is more approachable than this game. I read up on absolutely nothing about P5 and I was surprised they added SMT style monster negotiation to the Persona series (maybe it existed in P1/P2 I can't recall) and they keep adding more and more gameplay to the dungeon. Not that it is...

    What do you do?

    I'm not sure about Amazon from a physical engineering perspective but I assume it wouldn't be dissimilar from a software engineer. Their idea is to lure you in with a high salary and stock options but the catch is they make the conditions to work for them so unbearable you never really vest...

    Why buy all that stuff individually instead of just one good router?

    If he can send you an email he could send HR an email. There really isn't any excuse. Also job hopping, especially in IT, is expected and smart.

    Gamefly sucks. News At 11.

    When I worked at Best Buy margin on the actual games was next to nothing. That is why places like BBY and Gamestop try and push all sorts of accessories and shit with each purchase because after labor and everything just selling one copy of a game to someone is at best a break even venture. So...

    Gamefly sucks. News At 11.

    That would be an interesting service where basically they could ship you something like a Fire TV and it operates as a thin terminal and they just have a network of consoles that are effectively just streaming the game to you. I don't know if anything like that exists and I'm sure the legality...

    The school phase is all about establishing and enhancing your SLinks to unlock SLink gated personas. Or at least in the previous games. Generally your options are to either spend your time doing SLink related activities or do the dungeon. If you do both too many days in a row your character...

    Persona 5

    I don't know why anyone who didn't like P3/P4 would buy P5 and expect it to change their minds. Every review and pre-release buzz was just saying this is a more refined Persona. It isn't like you ever had meaningful conversation options in the previous Persona3+ games iirc.

    I'm still trying to figure out how I bamboozled my way into a job here. Since I've started here we've had 2 open positions and we've interviewed a fuckton of people and 0 hires. So they've been open approx 9 months. I've interviewed people who seemed like extremely intelligent and productive...

    Path of Exile

    I'm running a cleave/blood explosion Gladiator and if I run into a large pack of shit that has minion invuln and then like 100 things explode at once even on SSD my game locks up for at least 1 second. Though that is somewhat to be expected. This game isn't the most optimized gem in the world.

    Overwatch

    Sounds like you've made up your mind which means you'll be going into the game with a tilted mindset anyways. Probably is best to let the game cool for a few weeks. Fact is everyone around you is gold so the Pharah you're playing against is just as incompetent as everyone else (probably more...

    Plat Pharahs are also pretty bad at protecting themselves. They tend to fly out in the open which is why I think if you really want to counter her just run Zen and keep your orb on your 76 and your discord on the Pharah. She should get ripped from the sky pretty fast.

    StarCraft 2

    You mean the mission packs? Blizzard didn't make those. I imagine pretty much everything is backwards compatible so if those maps just live as regular old SC maps played as a campaign they should function properly in HD as well. And yeah it got leaked pretty early when Blizzard was polling...

    Best canned tuna I found was Kroger's brand. I went on a binge for about 2 years after I started lifting where I ate literally 7 cans of tuna a week. I hated (still do) protein shakes but wanted a good and easy protein source so I'd just bring it to campus in my backpack and eat some between...

    5Guys or InNOut? Personally I think both joints fries are sub-par. I've heard ,but not tried, you can make InNOut better if you order the fries well done. The issue with 5Guys is the fries always seemed really soggy. There are two other burger places nearby but both are sticking me with like...
