    Equal Pay for Equal Work?

    Yeah, I understand that, just wondering if there's a way to come somewhat close to an accurate number without going to through all the recruiting, interviewing, and negotiating bullshit.

    Equal Pay for Equal Work?

    This thread had me thinking last night. How does one accurately self assess what you should be paid? I mean that in the strictest sense, self assess. I know I could go out, do interviews, get offers, and make a judgment from those results. And while that whole process is largely innocuous...

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    I haven't laughed much at Trevor Noah's bits on TDS. They weren't bad, they just seemed too...transparent. I know the writers are behind what gets said for any skit, but his bits feel like someone else's jokes coming out of the wrong mouth. Maybe it's the cultural difference, maybe it's the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Looks like the PTR will soon reflect what is likely going live in 2.2: Patch 2.2.0 PTR Hotfixes - Updated 3/27 - PTR Feedback - Blizz Tracker - Diablo Fans Bug hotfixes after a week instead of a new patch means no more patches to me. Kinda sad the state barbs are/will be in. Great at...

    Hearthstone

    Not saying you're wrong, but it's likely impossible for some people here to treat a game that way. I play a game to get better at it, understand the mechanics and play styles, try out new things, etc. Hard to do that when you treat it as a distraction. I had to commit to not playing this...

    Home Improvement

    The xypex on the buried cinder blocks and inclined earth would hopefully keep water out and away. Not sure if resurfacing would help. Part of the problem is that the porch was a cast put on top a wooden frame, that itself was ontop of cinder blocks. At some point, prior to when I purchased...

    Home Improvement

    Well, this is part of the reason why I'm asking, I'm bound to overlook stuff in my inexperience. The choice of wood is motivated entirely out of how much of a pain in the ass the concrete is being now. Admittedly, it's quite old, so maybe this is just end of life shit and not normal...

    Why is a concrete porch a better choice?

    Since joeboo brought up a jackhammer, tell me if I'm crazy to undertake this by myself in a week's worth of time. I've got concrete front porch that's likely over 40 years old, it's got a major crack running through. I patch up the crack every spring and I've coated the whole thing in a water...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Sorry hear. I love the monitor, first time in a long while I've bought a computer related product with absolutely no buyer's remorse. The extra width on D3 alone was worth it for me. Can fire cluster arrows from FAR away.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Are you certain that it's backlight bleed? I have the same size monitor, lower resolution. I thought my lower corners were bleeding when it was actually gamma shift from viewing angle. Adjusting the tilt and maybe a book or two if you're tall should fix that. As for height, do you mean height...

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

    You'll use recursion a lot on interviews, often to your detriment because the fucker interviewing you used it as a "gotcha!". Actual programming? Rarely. As Citz says, it makes process flow a lot harder to understand. Easy to read code is underrated.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    A lot of the information in TurboHUD looks superfluous. Looks useful because a lot of us come from heavily modded WoW interfaces. Pace of combat just doesn't allow for that information to be useful or accurate.

    Home buying thread

    I wouldn't buy a house if I didn't think having a paid off house would make retiring much easier. I don't want to be 75 or whatever and still paying rent. If that means paying substantially more over 30 years(that I can comfortably afford) compared to a figure I absolutely cannot afford over...

    Get your sets, specifically Raekors or Leapquake, that will let you do T6. No other way around it. Items already on PTR picked for season 3: Season 3 - Is there any exclusive content(PTR)? - Forums - Diablo III Guess I'll have to play S3. Zodiac, in its current form, is too...

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

    Good programmers think ahead and test inputs for every possible bad case so they can give valuable feedback to the user! That's only half sarcasm. Honestly, I'd just be happy the guy thought he might get a value that doesn't parse and at least prevented bad behavior(directly). The...

    The Edge is like the last person I'd assume that. Reading this thread, I've had to make sure this was the same guy that heavily posts new age hippy Eastern shit. I mean, I guess they're not mutually exclusive, but I don't usually associate people that are money driven with that stereotype...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    And since the PTR is running on a Commodore 64, the challenging gameplay is still there! RNG loot is replaced by RNG lag. Unrelated: decided to try one of the CA rocket builds since MS Arsenal was feeling a bit week. I decided Hexing pants were the least worst of two bad options, the...

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

    That's exaggeration, but I do test and support for a company that makes a product that will catch bad programming like that. Yes, your compiler will let you do that. Or more commonly, you'll take a tainted value and divide by it without checking. Buffer overruns, memory leaks, null pointer...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Players DPS I'm less concerned about. I just want to be able to progress in grifts without shit one shotting me. Avoiding damage at all costs is not a fun game and some classes have much better tools for that than others. In the long run, dps/toughness/recovery need to scale a bit more...

    He did have 50% DR(Striding Giant), 50% DR(Unity), and 40% DR(WoTW 4 piece) though, which is much more than you can get live. And the cheat death passive. Either way, I hope they leave it. Melee classes are supposed to be able to take a beating, it really helps how the class feels if you can...

    Delly missed the most important part of that post: "Season 2 ending soon" [Update] Season Transition Revisions - Forums - Diablo III Sure, "soon" means nothing to Blizzard. But whatever, 2.2 looks great.
