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

    I think I'd be ok with an open office if my coworker didn't talk so much. "Hmmm, that's weird" Nope, sorry, not engaging you. I don't have 15 minutes to waste away listening to stories you've already told me.

    Hearthstone

    I would strongly recommend playing arena on all three realms(Americas, Asia, Europe) and picking classes that correspond with dailies and aren't the worst currently(hunter, warrior, priest). Only play if you have a daily that your arena run can complete, otherwise move to another realm. It's...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Beamforming is basically using multiple antennae and delaying the same signal through each at specific times such that they combine to a stronger signal in some areas and cancel out in others. You get a strong "lobe" where you're aiming and smaller orthogonal side lobes. Note, this is only on...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I'm not sure on that. I _thought_ 2.4GHz has better penetration. 5GHz was chosen because everything is on 2.4GHz, reducing its effectiveness. But, I could be wrong. I'm quite happy with my coverage on the 951G. My house was built in the 70s with aluminum siding, so I essentially live in a...

    You can buy a more than suitable router now and another in 5 years(which will have better features/standards) combined for less than the price of that netgear router.

    Using this table: IEEE 802.11n-2009 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think that means this router does a max of MCS7, which is 150Mbps. I know it can do 2x2 MIMO, why doesn't it go up to MCS15? I keep thinking there's gotta be a reason this company doesn't have any 802.11ac products...

    Battery charging and discharging is logarithmic. Well, actually it's essentially 1/RC, but the graph shapes are very similar and I'm blanking on the adjective for 1/RC.

    As far as I could tell, there was none. A simple reboot of my desktop fixed the problem. Hearthstone is playable with the controller. D3, not so much. Neither game detected that I was using a controller instead of mouse and keyboard, so I had to use mouse emulation with one of the joystick...

    There's a lot of updated information that I haven't seen posted here yet: Tavern Brawl - Hearthstones New Gamemode! - News - HearthPwn Most importantly, that entry is free. And the reward, just during launch, is a free classic card pack. You can do dailies during brawls and you get the...

    There's likely a few games that will give streaming fits, but I haven't read about any so far. I believe the general requirement is that if your GeForce 6xx(or higher) can display on your desktop, you can also stream it to the Shield TV(or their other two shield devices). I decided $100...

    Hearthstone

    You don't play around epics in arena, especially an epic + common combo. In fact, about the only card you play around that isn't common is MCT because the tempo swing can be devastating. This is assuming the player isn't giving you any hints towards those cards. If you can keep playing...

    Hearthstone

    This Brawl mode seems like it could be fun. It all hinges on source of cards(your collection or random like arena) cost of entry, and rewards. Conceptually, though, I worry about it. It depends how much the rule changes affect the gameplay. A huge part of this game is learning what your...

    That's cool. Probably not a big deal in the end, but why not hardware decode if you can? I got my Shield TV yesterday, I've liked it so far. Still trying to decide on which setup to use to play local media. ES File Explorer -> MX Player seems to be out. I can manage ES File Explorer...

    I agree with those concepts and that's definitely good practice. Wikipedia says magic string is something else entirely: Magic string - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Sounds like preprocessor macros in C, which are great when used properly. But, I'm likely still not getting something. How is this a 'magic string' scenario? What's the other way to program this that allows the user to expose hidden functionality?

    Never heard of this "magic string" concept. I understand it, but I don't understand how 'Keyboard.DOT' protects against it.

    Ordered one of those nvidia shield consoles after reading a bunch of reviews. The only negatives that I considered actually mattered: No hardware decoding for MPEG-2 or VC-1 codecs. The native video player simply won't play those files, it's kinda silly. All nvidia had to do was purchase...

    Leaked timeline said there was a second expac, but I think it was scheduled to have happened already. Honestly, I doubt it. There's not much they can do to improve the game, mechanics wise, without a huge overhaul. More content is always good though.

    Thanks joeboo, but didn't seem to do any good. Now the Netflix isn't working too, likely unrelated. They probably can't support Boxee Box's archaic software anymore. I'm guessing Roku3/Chromecast + Plex is the best solution these days? Both seem a bit outdated, the Roku 3 especially. Is...

    Anyone remember the voodoo rituals you have to perform to get Boxee Box to see Windows 7 shares? The Boxee.tv forums used to have tons of information on this, but that site is gone now. To be specific, I can see the share's directory, just can't access the directory listing.

    Gotta draft with the meta in mind. If the meta shifts toward early game, maybe you should take that river croc instead of the stormwind champion on your 25th pick. Though, I don't think a shifting meta has that big an influence on exposing shitty drafts. You should always draft hoping to...
