    I think I have become a shitty human being

    Having worked in many projects where no one was dead weight I completely disagree with this. Yes, there will always be a weakest link, sometimes there's a couple mediocre guys and a couple talented guys and that's ok. Is there ever an instance in your mind that you think it'd be okay to fire...

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    It's difficult to agree with that when I, and likely most people, have first hand experience of what happens when a weak or incapacitated manager keeps dead weight in the group. Not only does the dead weight drain the resources but people see him get cut slack constantly and lose their...

    Guy makes a literal BTC based Ponzi scheme with full disclosure that it's a ponzi scheme: PonziCoin - The Very Best BitCoin Ponzi! More specifically it was a gambling website where the gambling game was small ponzi schemes. They went through 6 rounds of this and on the 7th round the owner...

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    It's not just how things work. It's how things should work. The talented employees attempt to leave groups with dead weight in them and if you're a manager with mediocre employees and deadweight your group can't be effective.

    Kudos, why are you focused on January's numbers for a product that was sold out everywhere?

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    No. It's the manager's job to ensure the job his group is assigned gets done. Part of being a supervisor/manager is the hiring and firing process. It'd be nice if everyone you hire shows up ready to work and didn't lie about their skills but that's not the case.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The design decisions Zenimax is making to side with MMO or ES are so confounding. It's like if you lined up all the choices they had to make to choose the MMO way or the ES way you could make a better game by doing the opposite of what they're doing.

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    lulz. No surprise that Dumar thinks someone has a job so they can be coddled rather than perform. Another tidbit of advice I heard a long time ago, if you've got a few really shitty employees that are being carried by everyone else, group them up together and assign a non-critical project to...

    Myriad possibilities are not relevant to express or be concerned about. It could be that I'm the OP, that you're the OP or that the OP is a researcher and this is all an experiment.

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    There's a few possibilities here: 1. The guy was an over-achiever who was motivated and worked really hard but just didn't have the experience, intelligence and/or talent to deliver at the level he was at. 2. The guy was a bullshitter who got the job because he knew all the right words to say...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I never understood the choice to have ultra-detailed ship models that limited the number of ships so drastically. If you're flying around you're unlikely to be close to that many ships at a time, so all that detail is wasted. Everytime I see the ship limitation I don't understand why they can't...

    C++ is always a good answer for a first language, but the truth is that it depends on what you want to build. If you wanted to go beyond the shell scripting you use every day but still want to do IT/server/webstuff, python/php/javascript are good candidates. Those three are very similar...

    I don't want to rain on your parade and I'm thankful that you're financing this game's massive budget. However you spent thousands of dollars building up a strategy for a game while your knowledge of the game is based entirely on PR speak. Your dream is to have a fleet that can engage the game...

    It can, yeah. The first few times you write the infrastructure to transmit, say, xml over a network it's new and exciting. After that you just need to look for the small things to appreciate to keep it from being too boring.

    The part where you toss $30-60 for alpha/beta access for games is fine. It's just a promise that says, "I'd love to play this game, please make it." People are more critical of the idea of paying out hundreds of USD for a virtual space ship inside that game. I don't mind because I want to...

    for posterity, blizzard's stance is: "One action per key press per character". So if you're two-botting two shamans you can cast two frostshocks with one button press, but if you have one shaman you can't have one button press that drops a windfury totem and frostshocks. Everquest's stance...

    So the BTC community has long suspected that a cache of 200k BTC is either owned by MTGOX/Mark Kerples or is owned by whomever stole all the BTC from MTGOX (most suspect the former). Those 200k btc were mostly stached away and left alone but over the last couple days they have started to...
