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

    I actually like that idea and wouldn't mind seeing my company try it out. I think finding a suitable project that is useful, generic enough to not require a week+ of training/learning time to be effective and able to be given out would be hard though. But look on the bright side from your...

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

    I was just given a stack of 34 resumes from soon-to-be graduates with a MS from a top university. The university is far enough away that the cost to bring them in for an in person interview is high. None of the students personally applied, we just got the stack from their academic dept in...

    Ok, I'll put FO2 in my queue. But it's behind Witcher3, GTAV, DAII and some other ones =( I probably won't get to it until long after FO4 comes out.

    Was there anyone actually expecting 9/23/2015 to be the end of the world? I need to enjoy some schadenfreude. edit: seems like this is largely perpetrated by: https://www.facebook.com/A-Call-and-...0214/timeline/ but they say the 23rd date is bullshit.

    Fallout 4

    Yeah and that's not because of a lack of effort. They try pretty hard to make the content of each quest attainable in a variety of different ways. But with the massive freedom the player has and the large number of quests you inevitably have these broken ones, especially at release for a game...

    Fallout 4

    I know what it's trying to do, it just didn't have much bite. The only reason I nitpick is because Fallout3 came out as a magnificent game that followed a well written Fallout1 (I didn't play FO2). Bethesda, known more for their world building than their writing, continued that reputation...

    I hope not. Is there a statute of limitations on that kind of thing? Cheat engine and I have done some awful, awful things.

    That's pretty much what they have to do if they want to keep up their reputation. That and find out who is truly responsible and crucify them.

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    As an automotive engineer it's rare you really get an opportunity for unscrupulous behaviour like this. I'd like to know how this went down, and what level of person knew about it. Depending on the software process it could've literally been one person who obfuscated the emissions test check. Or...

    Especially late in development where a change in staff is usually a bad thing. Oculus (not a game but close) hyped up the hire of John Carmack, but that was when they were in the early to mid stages of their phone stuff.

    You could, but the big downside here is that the YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS sound byte would no longer make sense.

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    It'd be realistic too because you could dynamically create zones you could effectively operate in based on your radio coverage, and if you instructed the carrier to operate outside them you'd literally need to construct addition radio towers.

    I've seen this before and it's pretty fun because it combines the advantages of both platforms. I'm on a project now that is ALMOST perfect for this but has a few aspects that make it impossible.

    There's no doubt that drone warfare is a huge field and a big focus on DoD research. I'm not a military strategist or warbuff, but I feel like drones are the modern military's response to insurgency warfare in urban/desert/mountainous environments. There are some incredible advancements in...

    For me personally or the DoD? To the first, because that's how I'm currently employed and because I live in Detroit. To the second, there will always be stuff ground robotics can do that flying can't. And vice versa of course.

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    Yep. The DoD should continue funding ground robotics (and not just because that's how I get fed), but there are some real challenges that won't just be solved without unpredictable advances.

    I don't really get why "Let women into all branches of the military, treat them exactly the same and make them pass identical tests." is a problem for those who think women should be in the military. Special tests and treatment in the field is bizarre.

    There's no reason why you should expect that in a few decades autonomous pack carrying systems will solve most physical disparity issues. If we get an unforeseen breakthrough in battery tech, there will be a chance. There's a reason why Ironman's suit is centered around a fantasy device.

    Until the crowfall kickstarter CU was the only real mmo pvp game on the horizon ( i dont count albion). Then crowfall come out and did its marketing much better than CU in my opinion.

    I think I'm pretty much done with the game. Once I got my first max-stat dweller back from a 90+ hour (they stop picking up gear after they get 99 items, which is around the 90 hour mark since they get about 9 items from random events and get an item an hour) I found out that with that many...
