    The new enterprise database products out there (like my bae Snowflake) are unparalleled compared to the ancient Oracle shit. I migrated hundreds of billions of rows of data from our old DB into my snowflake warehouse. Alone. This is why I am putting a big amount of coin into Snowflake when it...

    It will never cease to amaze me how much of the world operates on Oracle products despite all of their products being absolute nightmares to work with. Every single one.

    Not totally the same but we are in a similar legal battle with one of the other companies in our equity partner's portfolio. We have had a Venture Capital equity company for the past 2 years. They will likely exit within another year. However, one of the other companies they are involved with is...

    Job Hunting

    Go with B. It won't be an issue at all unless they want you to interview and start you the next week. If that happens then fly out there and make it happen if the job is appealing enough. You'd need a friend in your current area to help in moving your shit if you have enough of it to care about...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is the entire games industry. I applied to a developer position on the business side of EA. When I asked for like a 10% bump in compensation to what I was currently making the recruiter told me directly that they wanted people who, "wanted to work there." The salary they expected me to take...

    So I can figure out how to buy fractional shares on the fidelity app but I can't figure out how to do it on the website. Is there some kind of restriction on it?

    Ashes of Creation

    That will boil down to whether Ashes of Creation follows the design philosophy of, "the end game is the only game" or not. I don't know if he's ever spoken about that specifically. The Journey is the Game should be the inherent grounding rule for MMO. As it is for all RPG.

    I got the impression that you select one of the crafting trees (gathering/processing/crafting) and within those trees, you select one profession to be a grandmaster of. Like in the gathering professions you can be a grandmaster fisherman but you can have some degree of proficiency (master?) in...

    Convoluted FSA Accounts

    Sure can. It's called Transportation FSA, I have one in addition to my HSA. Cap is $1k a year but if you're going to spend $1k on commute/parking anyway it's free tax reduction.

    I absolutely love working for a smaller company. I went from the biggest of big corporate at General Motors to a company of <300 people. I was employee 231 when I was hired. Now we're nearly at 600 and this is in barely a year. I will focus solely on sub 500 employee companies from now on when...

    Convoluted FSA Accounts

    At my work I have an FSA account for transport. I mostly use this for tax advantages but since the Rona I haven't been able to spend any of it. We switched carriers from last year to another bank called Discovery Benefits(no relation to the CC company). Approaching the half-year mark I realized...

    @Sanrith Descartes I've used Etrade for years now and I never thought of switching as Power Etrade is similar enough to Fidelity's offering. However I now realize that you can't fractional buy on Etrade and you made a very poignant point about it. I have a fidelity account from my 401ks though...

    Lol. If they did this then WOW would essentially be a fucking mobile game. Where your progress just resets every 90-180 days entirely. I support this.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    MMORPG truly benefit from an intentionally vague storyline. Shit can be going on and there's stuff out there to find but you aren't the center stage for it. Why? You should just be an adventurer doing stuff adventurers do. If you do it this way it can still be very fulfilling and you don't have...

    Limited Custom UIs are enough. I hope they at least allow that. Or enough native features so you can do that part yourself. Moving around and resizing windows and such I mean.

    Despite how illogical it appears with further analysis or understanding it makes sense when you look at it at the perspective of available funds. If I am a casual investor with $1000 on hand at any given time to buy stonks spending my entire cash position to buy 1 or 2 stonks can be considered...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It rustles me how pointless the leveling journey as become. If the game begins at max level why bother with anything before that at this point? Just release an expansion with all the grinds and content they expect at max level and leave it at that. Embrace your actual driving game philosophy...

    That could certainly translate to a short term gain. But it sounds like this wouldn't hold true in the long run? I've been holding all my AAPL shares a long time with no intention of selling them. In that way I guess it doesn't matter. I might as well buy a few more now.

    What did you just read?

    Vaudevillain just had an amazing few chapters. Incorporating the clash of someone playing a game and having fun with it versus his best friend, a metagaming tryhard, just really rings true. Especially on this board.

    Never played BDO. Can you elaborate on this? I am expecting that the player interaction in terms of PVP and crafting are what will drive player interaction. However, does that mean that the average player will be spending their time hunting for crafting mats? Killing mobs to gain gold to buy...

    With the AAPL 4:1 split coming is it wise consider loading up on shares before the split or after? I mean, probably doesn't really matter in the long run but I never personally considered the advantages of being in on a split or just buying the result.

    Feature creep is pure speculation on our part. But it is not unjustified as the list of features of this game is quite grand. Even when compared to other MMO.
