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

    Whatever the salesmen con them into buying this week. I see a lot of hybrid cloud, because they want to sell them cloud services but also get those redundant hardware dollars. The pressure from channel partners to keep selling hardware is real.

    No, that's "managed services." The cloud is just a place to put your shit.

    I had to pass a T3 background investigation from OPM for this role, even though clearance stuff/federal contracts are a tiny subset of our customers.

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

    I don't even know what I do for a living. My job theoretically involves telecom engineering and network engineering. Also data center engineering, since everything now runs on some flavor of VMware/SAN infrastructure from Dell or Cisco or Netapp or Simplivity or whatever. Except for all the...

    Not exactly dumbed down rules, but they did not have full control mode and they left more complex cards off the list of cards to play.

    Those previous releases were never meant to be anything more than annual releases. MTG Arena is a platform for future releases.

    Don't run less than 22 lands in Bo1 unless every card in your deck costs 1 and a handful of 2s (not gonna happen in any real Standard decks.) Most of your hands will have 1 land due to the hand-draw algorithm used in Bo1. People complaining about lands in Bo1 are ridiculous. The game has...

    I think WOTC has a two-prong strategy here. They know well-built digital games can get popular very quickly, but they also die just as fast once people move onto the next thing. They are going to use Arena to make a bunch of money for two years or so, but also to re-bolster interest in paper...

    Now you see why I've loved magic for 25 years. You get used to losing all the time and you can always just blame bad luck and never your own poor choices.

    Best phone games?

    Reading through this whole forum sucks. Just joined the smartphone revolution 10 years late. Which games are any good? Good mobile ports of old games also count.

    AAA retribution (beginning of the end?)

    Yes, but they're in serious danger of losing the Star Wars IP, SW Battlefront 2 was a failure, 2 different AAA SW games never made it to market before getting canned, and Battlefield 5 is selling very poorly despite being by all accounts a very good game.

    Smartphones

    I really like the size of it. Functionally, the Pixel 3 is the perfect size for me, and Fi is just about the perfect price. The camera is awesome, and the color quality on the OLED screen is fantastic. I'm just not sure why I needed a smartphone in the first place.

    What you should do is play this stupid Kibler event. Just play RDW and beat all the idiots trying to play 4 mana monsters. Though you will probably still get shit on by people playing cantripping chupacabras if they draw their Wildgrowth Walkers.

    It wasn't about EV. The ICRs did not contribute to EV in any meaningful way. It was about the fact that the ICRs were fun. Magic is fun when you're opening cards.
