    Emergence

    I bailed after the second episode when it went all 'muh racism'.

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

    Totally agree. You need to create something that's more complicated than the typical Todo demo app. Also, if you're learning a Javascript framework focus on one. Don't hop around trying different ones. Ultimately the concepts are similar across them all, but try to get reasonably competent...

    Out of curiosity, what specific questions have you been asked?

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    You keep saying "we". You're right, we couldn't. But an alien species that exists on a different energy level (as in they perceive time on a much slower scale) most certainly could. 80,000 years to get to the nearest star is absurd to us but to something else that might equate to an hour.

    American Horror Story

    "Satan satan satan satan" This is hilarious. And a nice mid-season twist. I'm really enjoying this season.

    Titans

    Same here. And Krypto!!!

    The Good Place

    Really? I feel the series has been kinda shitty after season 1. Season 1 was brilliant but, as I've stated before, afterwards it felt like they didn't really have a plan of where to go with the story.

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Yeah, from humanity's point of view...if we want to experience Star Trek, well, just create a virtual reality that DOES allow you to zip across the galaxy like in the show. Sure it's not real, but the sense of amazement and wonder will still be the same.

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    I think we'll discover that simple life is common, but intelligence is extremely rare. And if there does exist an advanced, intelligent civilization in our galaxy, it will be millions of years more advanced. But we're making the assumption that aliens would be similar to what we see in Star...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    It's based on our current understanding of physics and evidence. There could be a big crunch but the evidence is that the universe's expansion is accelerating. And the universe isn't infinite. It's a finite region of space that's expanding.

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Current theory is that it never "finishes". The universe will continue to expand forever, all matter will have decayed into elementary particles, and black holes will evaporate.

    No, ClassicLFG.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I remember a ton of shit possibly aggro'ing as you work down the ramp to the final boss.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    No, but you see the group listed in the window and you can click 'Join' which will auto invite you into the group. It's actually pretty slick.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Yeah may nicer interface than ClassicLFG. Are people having a heart-attack over this one yet? EDIT: Although I think ClassicLFG, if you use it to broadcast a group, embeds data in its channel that allows for role information. So it's a bit more than just a chat parser.

    Car ?'s

    Doing a tiny bit of research it seems what I'm suggesting is called a "series hybrid" BUT without the battery. The gasoline engine, basically a generator, powers the electric motor directly. Again, don't care about fuel efficiency or range. Just pure, raw performance that an electric motor...

    Car ?'s

    Here's a (probably dumb) question for any engineers out there: Say you wanted to create a performance electric vehicle. Instead of using batteries couldn't you have a gasoline engine be the generator for the electric motor? Or would the gasoline engine + fuel end up weighing more than a...

    Seems kind of amateurish for a company to not have a safeguard against this sort of thing.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    For me, Prot pally was the most fun in Wrath (although I haven't tried it since Cata). Super simple rotation, but allowed one to focus on the action rather than on cooldowns.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The ClassicLFG add on actually works pretty well. The author could easily expand this for raids.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Is anyone actually excited for those? If they released TBC and WoTLK classic servers I seriously doubt I'd give them a look. Granted, I loved those expansions, but I don't really have any nostalgic feelings towards those. Well, TBC a tiny bit, but not enough where I give a shit.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Doubt they'll do this, but how about take a different direction? Just slowly add content to Classic. Character level will stay at 60, no new skills, and progression will be purely item based.

    Hey, he's got a MAGA hat in the background. What's not to like?

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I wonder if Classic would've done as well if Blizzard had never touched the original zones? I feel that Blizzard fucked-up massively with Cata.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I really would like to know what Blizzard is thinking about the fact that all these people want to play the original game? What is this telling them?

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    How about just have ONE server and dynamically add as many "layers" as needed? Didn't the original Guild Wars do this? I mean it's been fifteen years. Why is this multi server concept still a thing?

    Haha yes. Person in front would loot and everyone moved up. I was shocked at how well behaved everyone was.
