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

    Code reviews can go to crap when you have people who fundamentally disagree on programming ideas. When you get to that point I think you have to stick to comments where you can see concrete ways that their code breaks. I hate it when dickheads get trapped in a hole and rather than reflect on why...

    If there was no water we'd all be on a different planet wondering what life would be like without ammonia.

    The Astronomy Thread

    The funny part about the flat earth society is that you have a real mixture of professional aeronautical engineers and physicists who are trolling and Lumie-type retards and conspiracy theorists who are repeating arguments from the professional trolls.

    The Astronomy Thread

    It's hard for me to differentiate the content between that forum and: VX: Science, Made Delta or even: The Flat Earth Society - Index You have guys who are real experts in their field throwing around terms you are 4 years of education away from really understanding. There's no way to tell...

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I really don't like the dump they do either. Part of the fun of watching a show is talking about it every week with other people or online. When they just dump it at once you lose a lot of that.

    I am 100% confident that my coworkers talk shit about me, but it is more geared toward, "Tuco just likes to slap together systems and drive his robot around.".

    Nope. To my knowledge there are zero peer reviewed papers on it. The guy who came up with the idea back in 2000 allegedly has a paper in the peer review process. No idea of which journal or what the timeline is other than expected publication in 2015. I don't know what the typical peer review...

    Dark Souls 3

    The kapra demon took me a few deaths to kill, but I think it's easily the worst and laziest boss in Dark Souls. It feels like they said, "Let's put a bunch of really aggressive mobs in a small area and force the player into it.". The strat to kill it (run up the stairs, beat off the dogs then...

    If you're talking about theEMDrive, it doesn't use propulsion from light from the sun. It uses microwaves and magic and is super exciting. The recent solar sail that's involved with Bill Nye does use that mechanic though. I don't know of any real aspirations to do much with it or any other...

    Haha it's garbage. MMO devs really need to remember to make garbage pets immune to AE. It also does shit DPS and is too slow. It has some PBAE thing that is cute but it's completely useless. Anytime someone uses it it's a total joke and insult. Like, "I can't believe you just attacked me...

    Fighting has somewhat picked up. TT6 regularly goes out and runs their mageball strat against us, reds etc. It's still an uphill battle for them because most of them are not geared. They also usually get guilty sentences and we usually get innocent sentences so we have a huge advantage in...

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

    Good think about recruitment spam and linkedin in general is that recruiters can look for specific skills amongst a large number of people. When you're just shitting out resumes to various jobs semi-related to your expertise you'll be an awkward fit but it's not a big deal because after a year...

    Even if you knew about the white walkers, letting in the wildlings is a suspect move. You cant trust the wildlings to do anything but rape yohr supply line as they move south.

    It was when we played it some 1.5 years ago, and I haven't seen them improve it yet. I mean you see the pinnacle of the game and the goal of everyone in the quick gameplay clip. The entire purpose of the game is to find some resource, and wait for a progress bar to fill up while mining it.

    Not going to lie, I wouldn't be surprised if some killer's death letter said, "The fucking archer twins are impossible, this is bullshit and if I can't see the rest of Anor Londo I don't want to live anymore and don't want anyone else to live either."

    Maybe. I feel like if one of those two groups was really small the thread would drop off and only two would emerge victorious. I'll probably make a third thread if we start getting srs spoilers and nothing will happen if we don't. If people start posting Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage pics...

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

    Yep. In most cases if you're valuable, bosses will be motivated to pay you only as much as they think you need to stay at the job and do it effectively. So when you ask for more money you're increasing their perception of how much they need to pay you to keep you. If you make threats it just...

    Well, I watch arrow/flash but don't read those threads because people in that thread are comic book readers who know what's going to happen. If there were a lot of people like me who wanted to post about arrow/flash and be ignorant about the comics we'd have another thread on it. Because I don't...

    Phasing is fake interaction. It's an awful game mechanic that is used to pretend player are interacting with their environment but they're really not. It's also a tremendous interruption to cooperative play.

    Let's cut through the bullshit. The problem you're suffering from is you don't understand the "magic" Kedwyn is talking about. And it has nothing to do with mob scaling. Mob scaling in ES games actually works quite well without harming the Elder Scrolls experience. What does harm the ES...

    No idea. I heard it was slower than C, which makes it an undesirable library for me already. I also hear it's more restrictive, but I don't know how.

    I think itwas cofnirmed false, but I want to belieeeeve. I'm also guessing they didn't have Shireen screaming as they were filming Stannis in that shot. It would've been brutal if they did, then superimposed a blurred out Shireen dying as they focus on Stannis looking stoic.

    I doubt C/C++ will be put next to fortran 30 years from now. There's languages that do better than C/C++ in a ton of different fields, but the closest I've seen to a real contender for what C/C++ is good at is Java and they are still wildly different enough that they won't supplant each other...

    I don't really care if other people have coop. It's just a unused feature for me. And it's not like beating Dark Souls is prestigious enough that I'd care whether other people shared in the accomplishment who took the easy route. Though if someone were trying to front that they beat DS and I...
