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

    Yeah I'm just burning through 2 years of PTO they owe me from not taking any days off and working every holiday and waiting for the right offer letter. Even though there are jobs in telecom/infrastructure/datacenter, the whole hiring process for every company that's reached out to me just moves...

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

    Working for the school district was fun when we were getting grants to buy new shit all the time and totally fucking boring when we weren't doing projects.

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

    Some combination of stupidity and the fact that they doubled my pay and let me work infinite hours. Working 80-90 hours a week was fun when they were paying me for 80-90 hours a week. Now they're giving me 60 hours a week worth of work and paying me for 40.

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

    I need a new fucking job. This place is garbage now that they don't pay me overtime but expect me to work my tickets and plan major patch implementations and fill out change requests and get approvals signed by my managers and the customers' IT managers for things happening on the other side of...

    Zanki Zero: Last Beginning

    This looks like it would be fun if I was like 10. It's like an oldschool Eye of the Beholder style first person dungeon crawler RPG mixed with a survival game and also weebed up to 11.9 out of 10? (It loses .1 because I don't think there's tentacle rape but there might be so maybe a 12/10.)

    It's both obvious and empirically true that the Trump campaign ran a better campaign than the Clinton. It's also true that the guy that was digital media director and in charge of the Trump campaign's Facebook operation in 2016 is now the head of the entire Trump 2020 campaign. Do the math...

    I think this might all just be staged by Twitch as a giant distraction to pull attention away from all the other stuff going on. Now everyone is talking about the Dr. Disrespect Mystery instead of all the attentionthots getting diddled.

    Reality? Even if you throw out all the stupid Russia shit, the Trump team's Facebook game was huge while the Clinton campaign could not gain any ground there. Read up on actual analysis of the social media strategies leveraged by the two parties and you'll see how the Democrats were completely...

    No Man's Sky

    The fastest way I found to get credits was just stealing from NPC freighters by blowing up the cargo pods. Hitting the cargo pods doesn't incur a reputation penalty as long as you don't actually attack the ships.

    Trump won in 2016 largely by using Facebook ads+data way, way, way better than the Democrats. Palantir is about as pro-Trump as you get and has data collection technology that far surpasses everyone but Facebook and Google. Saying Big Tech is entirely being dominated by Democrats is not very...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    I've gotta say, having owned both, G-Sync Compatible is definitely not G-Sync. G-Sync Compatible I have to cap my frames at -3 from the refresh rate to fully prevent screen tearing because it can't stay perfectly in sync when bouncing around the refresh rate cap, where with G-Sync it just works...

    PS: There's a new feature in Windows 10 2004 where you can make your PC into a bluetooth audio sink, so if you setup a phone or tablet to watch videos you can have it play the audio via BT to your PC and it will just mix into your PC audio.

    The only thing stopping me from getting the 38 inch LG is I have no idea how I'd mount it properly or get a GPU that could push that many pixels in games. But it seems like a fantastic monitor.

    What do you mean? The triple monitor bow goes onto either the wall-mount or desk clamp mount arm as an attachment. So you could have 3 of the LG monitors on the bow, they're only like 6 pounds each.

    If you dig in, it seems like the worst stuff came from agents/promoters and not from other gamers/streamers. The other streamers were just touchy losers. And since agents are :emoji_nose:agents:emoji_nose: this seems consistent.

    Came in this morning. Set it up already. What the fuck this monitor is insane for the price ($379.99, it keeps going in and out of stock, don't pay more from secondary sellers.) The only drawback is the stand sucks and you need arms (which should get here tomorrow...)

    They're nothing like when they were producing cheap crap before Michael Dell brought the company private again. Even their cheapest crap is better than most, and their premium crap is pretty decent.

    Dell Latitudes if you want business laptops, or the Dell small (not micro) formfactor desktops if you want desktops.

    You definitely should flash any of the modern platforms to their newest release. All sorts of voltage issues and memory issues fixed, both Intel Z390 and AMD X570.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    If it's 350W I'm not buying the top end card, but I would like something that can push 3440x1440 @ over 100 fps in most games.

    We haven't the slightest clue how inanimate matter gives rise to conscious experience so odds are the universe is a lot fucking weirder than we think it is.

    Microsoft exchange or something?

    If you want to make lots of bulk moves/adds/changes or do any behind-the-scenes integrations work with 3rd party products and services, yes, you do have to use a lot of PowerShell. But for what 90% of small businesses need email for, you will never need anything beyond the web based cloud admin...

    Anyway, this game looks like at least a B- effort at making a modern X-Wing Vs Tie-Fighter esport moba thing so I'll give them credit for trying something.

    Considering X-Wing and Tie Fighter both had multiple 20+ dollar expansions it'd be tough to criticize EA for doing the same almost 25 years later.
