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

    Running now. Modified to be a background process. But since its just changing a setting... I'll get around to putting that on github later.

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

    Can probably run it off my off the books report desktop engine at work. As it isn't my work PC, just a second PC I have absolute control over at work. It even got removed from the company registry since we're all on laptops now haha.

    All the projects at GM that I work on are done in two week sprints. Friday at the end of the two weeks we present features developed followed immediately by feedback and backlog pruning by the product owner for the next sprint. However, the amount of business people and product owners that...

    In my experience you can get a job at most tech companies if you have a good range of tech skills. Just start applying to cloud companies. Like Rackspace or Dropbox or something. Some friends of mine worked at Rackspace for some years and I immediately wrote it off though. I really, really...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Tyranny was good but didn't grab me too hard either. Torment really tickles my pickle however. I have a huge hardon for that setting.

    @Deathwing I mean, this is nothing too fancy, I didn't spend a ton of time on this part. But my tool strips out all of this data out of our various data management systems and aggregates them like so. The SharePoint feature emails it out to everyone on a team when configured at a specific time...

    I am not a SharePoint dev, I am just exploiting some SharePoint features so I didn't have to create a ton of other shit. I guarantee you it is possible, just depends on what calendar piece he's using.

    I'll post an example of what some of mine do later, but it isn't like a super intelligent/fancy report. I spent a few hours creating them in SSRS and called it good. If I actually get the keys to the kingdom and can directly query our databases I'll start using Tableau because its prettier. It...

    Not allowed to because this ad hoc tool isn't on our application landscape. Like I can only show my good/bad work on projects I was actually tasked to work on. If I innovate within those projects I can but this is not the case here. Its just how they do stuff, it is kind of dumb. To be clear I...

    I would have just laughed in their faces. Okay retards, later. Get a new job by end of the week. I was quite blown away by the old manager of the warehousing team outright refusing to use the tools that would save... thousands of hours on their tasks. Keep comparing raw data with your eyes man...

    Friends, I come to you with a tale of Corporate IT and stupid decisions that make no sense. But are now highly beneficial to me. Little long so beware! I've told y'all before that I work at General Motors. I worked as a dev in the Finance department mostly doing database related work. But I am...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    While I did complete P1. I think it suffered in that the amount of shit you could explore just wasn't that cool. The card carrier for them will always be Baldur's Gate II which has an alarming amount of content. Lots of it you can't even find unless you truly spend time looking for it and...

    School of Fast Progression in Downsizing and Radical Flying

    Nah, that guy is prob a pro and just messed up this one time. There are a lot of ways to safely get that good. The problem is that the sport attracts people with huge egos and these are the same people who happily push the envelope on such things.

    School of Fast Progression in Downsizing and Radical Flying

    This is a discipline called "swooping" where you take a very small, very fast parachute in order to dive it at the ground at high speed. This was why he was spiraling towards the ground, in order to gain as much speed as possible. Then "swoop" across the water dragging one foot across the top...

    School of Fast Progression in Downsizing and Radical Flying

    Oh it was. But its hilarious and never gets old. Technically all of these are poor height judgement though! None of these guys have problems with their chutes. But they misjudge their acceleration, where they are in the sky, dive too far, etc.

    School of Fast Progression in Downsizing and Radical Flying

    Hard opening happens sometimes. Likely trash packed the canopy into the container (backpack). I do that sometimes but generally I know my current canopy well and know how to avoid it. Smaller canopies do open faster just because there is less material to open up. I'm nearing 1000 jumps and like...

    I figure'd I'd share some of the better highlights of my side-job hobby. Which is people fucking up and hurting themselves! The thread title is about the concept of downsizing (smaller parachutes) in order to go faster. Lots of faggots get one ones they are not ready for and wipe the fuck out...

    Dealing with addiction

    Normally I just don't go out. I am good having a few at home... but when I go out it gets hard to stop. I organize my life around not being in situations where heavy drinking is possible.

    Yeah. Be sure to prioritize the limits for 401k/IRA/HSA. I think this is the correct order. $18.5k/$5.5k/$3.5k.

    I'm not nearly that intelligent nor that social. The TL;DR is I spent 2 years in the Army in Iraq and had nothing to buy I really wanted in 2006-2008. I invested it all in 2008 (about $60k at the time) because I read the market would recover... and it did. I called the financial adviser in my...

    I mentioned it earlier and in extreme detail that I struggle with alcoholism to a degree and keep a very tight control on it at most times. That's why this thread exists. If you're just here to make shit up then go fuck yourself and get the fuck out of here.

    Dealing with addiction

    Yeah hard drug addictions I can't speak for. But organize your life around not being in situations you will do heroin. I kinda fucked up on Friday. Had a few beers at home like I do. Just a few as there is a fine line for me. Friend comes over and convinces me to go out. Really should have said...

    Well let's start a taxes thread to avoid/become aware of maybe not so obvious ways we can benefit or fuck it up. I paid like $10k last year so I am trying to avoid that this year. Forms are rolling out that I need so we'll see what happens. I think I engineered it enough to avoid paying a huge...
