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

    It should be exciting. Like I said this is a big change but now that I signed on the dotted line and committed I'm less freaked out. Now I'm just task oriented and trying to get everything in line for the move. I won't be working on the sexiest stuff nor even really consumer facing but it...

    Have the official offer in hand now ready to be signed. I'm freaking out. This is such an enormous change. I generally don't bet on myself this heavily to completely uproot and move cross country.

    Thats why I assumed Blizzard spread theirs out in such a fashion where you're never too far away. The longest wait is from March until August. The payouts are in March, August, December.

    I think it'll work out well too. I'm on an on-call rotation as well so if I put in my 8 during the day and then get a call off-hours that would all be OT.

    I probed pretty hard about the profit share and she said it is mostly guaranteed money. She said they have very smart finance people who forecast the year and tell you the profit share bonus ahead of time and that sometimes its a bit more and sometimes a bit less but for the most part they're...

    They met the base I requested. Moving from my current base to the new base is only a 6k move up. However with the annual bonus and profit share it makes out to be about a 30% increase.

    Regarding your first point about Rein sponge for charge. They could theoretically make it so only your damage amp offers ult bonus and natively make her charge her ult faster than most. Her heal-for-ult seems similar to when they had the take-damage-for-ult mechanic which they scrapped because...

    I'd maybe prefer to see OT has a build up/down mechanic instead of touch = 100%. Like if a Tracer just darts in give it maybe like 20% of OT and if you sit on it a second or two then you can build it up to 100%.

    Blizzard tweeted out there is a pokemon gym in the middle of their campus. I'm sure they already have to deal with nerds trying to break in to begin with let alone challenge the gym leader.

    I wonder what would happen if you rez at like 50-75% HP instead of 100% and keep everything as-is. That way if you Graviton combo and wipe 4 players Mercy can't just swoop in and go "Lol nothing happened here."

    Go Bastion. Or just a Reaper. Double Winston is really only extremely dangerous at coordinated levels of play where they can overlap their AOE and fixate the same target. At that point Reaper kind of stops working but he can deal with 2 Winstons each mostly individually.

    You'll notice the ones up at the top are projectiles and the ones at the bottom are hitscan. It is probably that projectiles have their own collision box where hitscan rely entirely upon the target's hitbox.

    The biggest issue with KOTH, at least IMO, is the respawn is so quick and the rush distance is so short that death isn't hugely punishing. There is also another issue where if you flip the control all you have to do is basically Tracer spam the point until you get to 99% since the counter...

    I still feel Zenyatta may be hidden OP. Right now the meta is a bit leaning towards a beefy comp with Roadhog in the mix, Winston almost mandatory, Zarya very vogue and the ever present Reinhardt. Discord on them is effectively halving their HP. It may just be the competitive teams are more...

    My assumption is she went through the same process my friend did (it's my friend's wife's sister) which is he took his home loan out as some loan against her father's assets. Her parents are loaded. So it wasn't a bank issued loan.

    I know someone who purchased a home in San Jose and she was told by the seller they won't let her do an inspection because it was a waste of time and money and they have multiple offers anyways. So she had to buy the house without an inspection because if not someone else would.

    I had my best play as Mercy ever last night. It was attack on Anubis B. 4/6 of my team got wiped out just me and Zarya were alive. I was trying to retreat when I saw Zarya was taking damage and saw my ult was at like 92%. I was under fire but I shifted over to Zarya, healed her real quick to...

    The bay area just does not interest me in the least. Not only the insane cost of living but I couldn't deal with the homeless and all that. Plus it just strikes me as pretense everywhere. Which may or may not be accurate.

    Yes I'm fairly well informed on the difference, Blizzard's pay structure and everything. The number I presented to them as my target base I felt was fair and if they offer me lower I simply won't accept. I want to work for Blizzard but I'm not willing to uproot my family, move to a more...

    Win or lose comp is still more fun to play IMO. I had the most intense game last night playing Mercy of all characters for my team. She's way more fun to play in an organized fashion than in QP.

    I wonder if they'll ever divorce team levels and individual levels. I would kind of doubt it but they've shown a willingness to back off on some of their casualization they've done to the game. They'll probably just continue to add questing talents to imply a semblance of individual carry and...
