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

    Unless it's not a well-formed XML doc, I usually write serializable classes that serialize into XML. Way easier to work with object properties than screwing around with elements and attributes.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I still don't understand how a cloud of comets could blot out 20% of the star's light. That's a shit load of comets considering a Jupiter sized planet only reduces illumination by ~1%.

    HDTVs

    I need recommendations for a 55"+ 1080p HDTV that's great for consoles (PS4) and good enough for streamed movies/TV shows. I don't care about 4K, and it seems like 60hz is actually preferable for game consoles? I'm hoping I can pick something up this Black Friday for ~$500 or so, although...

    Dark Souls 3

    I'm on the east coast, so was too late to really play for long. Graphics look fantastic. All I've ever played on was consoles for the Soul games, so framerate was typical. Roll animation was weird.

    Dark Souls 3

    Got home this evening and now the code works. I guess their system was having problems this morning and was erroneously reporting used codes.

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah, looking back at Dark Souls II stress test comments, only N number of players are allowed in with the code. I guess they send the same code out to everyone.

    Dark Souls 3

    Fuck! Playstation Store is reporting the code I received has already been used.

    Fargo

    'Based on a true story'. I know its not really based on a true story, instead some elements have some real life parallels. But I do distinctly recall a news story where a lady hit a guy with her car and just drove home with him stuck in the windshield. Anyway, great first episode.

    Naked and Afraid

    Wow, talk about a butter-face. Too bad she didn't hang around for more than 3 days.

    God damn, this show is fucking hilarious. That Matthew McConaughey impression was spot on.

    Right on, put that man in charge. "Hit reset"

    Fucking love this series. Can't wait.

    I just finished assembling my 2015 Doc Brown costume for this Halloween.

    Sleepy Hollow

    I watched the first season, didn't watch the second. Do you think I could just skip S2 and go straight to S3?

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

    Yeah I'm not questioning the value of automated testing at all. In fact, up until a couple years ago, I don't think they were doing any sort of testing other than manual. The problem I'm seeing is that the integration test code is a mess, hard to read and understand exactlywhatis being tested...

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

    So a few weeks back I mentioned I joined a new development team where thetesterswere the ones writing unit tests. Come to find out, they actually aren't unit tests. The testers (namely one guy and a new assistant) are creating automated integration tests -- so the tests involve database...

    Homeland

    The series, as a whole, is still better than most network television. I've enjoyed every season, but S1 and S4 were by far the best.

    Watchmen

    It could take place before the events of the movie. Not sure if I could stand 10 hours of blue wang, though.

    Limitless

    Enjoyed the second episode. Ratings improved over the pilot which is impressive. Very likable lead and good humor to boot.

    Blindspot--Jaimie Alexander on NBC this fall

    This feels exactly like Blacklist. Some chick with a mysterious past helps government agency hunt bad dudes. She's hot, though. I don't usually like tatted up female bods, but it works on her.

    Fear the Walking Dead

    See, that's the problem I have with the show so far. I cannot fathom how slow moving zombies could in any way pose a threat to military personnel armed to the teeth. And, honestly, I don't think the writers do either because of how they didn't show what happened during those fire fights. All...

    Supergirl

    I watched the pilot months ago. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Great fight scenes ala Justice League Unlimited. Actress fits the part too. Very cute but without being overly sexualized.

    The Jim Gaffigan Show

    The priest is definitely my favorite character.

    Limitless

    Not the best pilot in the world, but I enjoyed it. Although I'd put his brain to figuring out the grand unification theory rather than solving murders.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Okay, so a friend and I picked up PS4 Diablo 3 since it was on sale recently. Haven't played it previously. Back in our teens we both obtained a "Nagelring" legendary drop. Then I started wondering why bosses were being insta-gibbed and realized it was due to the ring's lunatics exploding...

    Longmire

    I don't know what is, but Katee Sackhoff really does it for me in this show. Maybe it's the ponytail and tight jeans. For whatever reason I really didn't pay much attention to her in BSG (probably overshadowed by Tricia Helfer).

    Easiest Microsoft Exam.

    I've successfully taken the Microsoft 70-480 Javascript and HTML 5 exam. I wouldn't say it's "hard" but the questions often try and trick you. If know you Javascript, HTML, and Ajax syntax then you should be able to eliminate the obviously incorrect answers. There's a 70-480 Exam Ref book...

    Longmire

    Series was canceled by A&E at the end of it's 3rd season but was picked up by Netflix. Season 4 was released yesterday. I've only watched the first episode, but already the plot feels more exciting than past seasons.

    Right, you can't call the .Exists() method on a null object.

    Blunt Talk starring Patrick Stewart on Starz

    And he looks really good for his age. He could slip back into his Starfleet uniform and I'd bet you could barely tell the difference.

    Tyrant

    Yeah, I enjoyed this season immensely. They can still go the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" angle with Barry, assuming the series is renewed. However, Tuesday's finale can act as a decent close to the series.

    Rick and Morty

    "Hey man! What the hell? That was my daughter's pediatrician!" I liked how they felt the need to "disguise" themselves as aliens when, in fact, they looked completely different from the world's inhabitants. 9/10 episode.

    Naked and Afraid

    I realize they only show us what they want to show, but almost every time we saw the six person group they were lying around. I would say, "Hey, you four, break off in pairs and go find food. THAT IS YOUR JOB. Find food." The other two can get water, maintain the fire, etc. it just seemed...
