    Since when do those two give a shit about the story of their movies?

    Smartphones

    Anyone have trouble with stock Android connecting to a new WiFi while it's sleeping? Not that the WiFi turns off when it sleeps. But if I go out, when I return home, the WiFi won't reconnect until I turn the screen on. This isn't a delay thing either, it can be hours and it won't connect. But...

    Hearthstone

    Just FYI, adwcta and merps are no longer associated with heartharena. I don't know who's doing the algorithm programming now, but eventually I just dropped a drafting helper and just reference their tier list when I need help: http://thelightforge.com/TierList Yes, old cards no longer...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Seems like an odd point to nitpick. Why not just buy the expansion anyway?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    D3 doesn't start until you reach max level, leveling up isn't going to represent the bulk of your playtime.

    Hearthstone

    Wish there was a way to tell if your friend was on phone or computer. Real pain in the ass to chat with someone and they don't respond because doing so sucks on the mobile client.

    Overwatch

    Hearthstone can definitely make you mad. Maybe someone causing raid wipes repeatedly would be an example everyone else can relate to. And yet I keep playing it. Anyway, I did not mean to derail. A few of my friends are playing it so I wanted to see if it was worth the efford, thanks for...

    Really? So it's not like losing a close game in Hearthstone to some bullshit top deck?

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Depends on the prep. Just about any steak prepared properly is delicious. As for the chicken, hopefully you haven't reached your limit already by using chicken breast. Bland, boring meat. Opt for chicken thighs as your default chicken cut, buy other cuts as the dish prep demands(like...

    Overwatch

    FPS noob here. I haven't played one competitively since UT2004 I think. If I didn't like the twitch nature of HoTS nor depending on teamwork from complete strangers, is it safe I won't like Overwatch either? Yes, twitch and HoTS is probably an exaggeration. I just don't consider my...

    What was your dream growing up before life kicked you in the nuts/vag?

    I appreciate what C/C++ taught me for programming, but fuck actually using in the language. Python has almost been a revelation for me. I feel much more confident in my abilities since learning it. That is not to say other languages compared to C couldn't have done the same, C -> Python was...

    TeamViewer Hacked

    I don't have much experience with lastpass, but from a security standpoint, it looks pretty similar to keepass. I don't know how the synchronization is done, there could be a security flaw there, but probably only if it's done through some centralized lastpass servers.

    What was your dream growing up before life kicked you in the nuts/vag?

    Fair enough. I assume if a class is going to teach C, it's going to get into things like template, pointers, and memory management. Even how C handles some basic types isn't that intuitive.

    What was your dream growing up before life kicked you in the nuts/vag?

    Starting out with C or C++ is a mistake. I realize the options are much better today, but even back then there had to be better options for introducing people to programming. Starting out on C is going to cause a lot of collateral damage.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Getting a new car is expensive or it would require major sacrifices to get to work without one. You can easily change your coffee habit or not drink it at all. That's why you feel bad about k-cups, you know you have a choice. I'm not a fan of Keurigs, both for the trash they produce and...

    Who loves spike trap? Diablo Patch 2.4.2a PTR - News - Diablo Fans Not going to bother cut-pasting because that shit formats horribly here and their diffing algorithm has fucked up most of it already. Spike trap joke aside, the revamped skill might be fun...idk. Glad at least they're...

    What was your dream growing up before life kicked you in the nuts/vag?

    Not really sure I have/had a specific dream growing up. Definitely been metaphorically kicked in the nuts by life. But I don't think I've had any dreams ruined because I can't really coalesce what I *truly* like doing into a job. Not to sound cliche, but I really like doing puzzles. A game...

    TeamViewer Hacked

    I use KeePass. I think password vaults have been discussed in the tech subforum but should probably repeat this elsewhere. Like Denamiam, I store my vault on a cloud drive. Yes, someone could hack your Dropbox or Google Drive or whatever and get your passwords but there's a few things you...

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

    Can I work remote? Your commute sounds like beyond a deal breaker. Like, how have you not murdered someone doing 2 hours of driving a day? That much wasted time would drive me nuts. I did work QA at bigger companies, but they were hardware oriented. I don't know if it is just software...

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

    I feel like I'm kinda in the same place with my job, Noodle. I'm not sure I dislike it as much as you, but I'm definitely hitting the "how is this furthering my career?" feeling. My company is still quite small, so strict protocol with regards to hiring practices haven't been established nor...

    Hearthstone

    I said 'can'. Yes, the majority of the decks have sped up to out compete the rest of the meta. I think this is a direct result of there not being enough types of tech cards. So, now, to push out control or even just slower decks, you don't tech in hate for that type, you just speed up...

    Tempo and midrange decks can definitely fit into that category.

    Hearthstone

    Board clears, now or even with your proposed change, need hard tech counters. I hate playing control decks where you play on-curve minions and they just keep clearing them, mostly through board clears. It's one-sided uninteractive bullshit play and if you want more tech against aggro, I want...

    Hearthstone

    Leeroy + PO + PO/Soulfire? Forcing zoo to use their POs so they can stay on the board is how you prevent that. Also, not a new combo. I agree, it IS a shitty combo to lose to, just as bullshit as the old druid combo was. Not as easy to pull off since you only have one Leeroy, but yeah, it...

    Parent Thread

    The amount of shit I can't get done(wife, housework) when my son is awake makes sleeping and napping a very low priority. Admittedly, I'm writing this from the perspective of a parent that's had their son sleep through the night since 6 months with maybe less than 5 days total regression. I...

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

    They definitely treat the testing system like a crutch. It's especially infuriating when they commit bugs that running ANY test in their sandbox would have caught. And since it was so easy to catch, it's now in the testing system, shitting up all the results. This is something I've...

    TeamViewer Hacked

    This is why people need a password vault. I think we've discussed the typical setup in a different sub forum, but it might be worth repeating here. Once you do the initial setup and change all your passwords, it's really not that much less inconvenient than storing your passwords in a web browser.

    Hearthstone

    I love that mid-range decks dominate the meta currently. The meta might not be varied much, but it's definitely the least bullshit one in a while. And by bullshit, I mean combo decks that kill you from hand or control decks that indiscriminately wipe your board. Interacting with the board is...

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

    I'm looking for suggestions to improve the testing hierarchy at my company. We follow the standard model where testbot take our product and run it through a multitude of automated tests. Test results are filed in a database and 90% of the time have to be reviewed by a human in order for a bug...
