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

    While I get working on what you enjoy is important you may also consider branching out. Firmware programming is a very niche field so you'll always be suffering from a lack of options. If you enter one of the more prolific fields and languages like Java, C#, C++ and doing business development...

    What do you do?

    I just looked up my wife's old district which is a textbook definition of "small town America." Even there the average salary seems to be about 55k. I'm sorry but every job and every industry has their shit. It is just teachers complain more about it.

    What do you do?

    Ohio does as well but since I know quite a few teachers it mostly done completely online these days after you've already started your teaching gig

    What do you do?

    And they get 3 months off per year. The fallacy of teachers being these overworked underpaid servants to children is something I don't fully buy into. Not to mention you went to college for 4 years so if you hate teaching kids and find it a massive chore why'd you do it?!

    What do you do?

    If you don't work for a shitty school district you can get paid. Surprised someone that tardy would get/keep the job because generally to make that kind of money you are a cream of the crop teacher. It was pretty common for teachers at my high school to be making about that much and even more...

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

    Although I haven't applied via Glassdoor I think I like their method better. So you know about what your pay will be, how the interview will go, how the culture at the company is and overall how the working environment you'll be in 8 hours a day operates. It also makes it easy to figure out if...

    If it makes you feel any better they probably post on another forum bitching about their uptight neighbors and their annoying fucking kids splashing around in the pool while they're trying to concentrate on their game

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Cornhole is ubiquitous with outdoor picnics here in Ohio. Its been around for a really long time here. I've never really cared for it, personally, but I also hate sports of finesse. My cousin's husband spent like 10 years in college in a frat house so he's pretty much lights out.

    Last time I was on D3 a bunch of people in the RR guild were playing non-season. I don't see the appeal, personally.

    Do we have an active member actually leader of the guild now or is Teck still the king cheese?

    Watches

    I've actually done some more research on Shinola and I've determined they're a bit scammy. The only parts made in USA are the straps. The time piece is imported from Switzerland. If you want an actual made in America watch you need to pay up for Weiss.

    Heroes of the Storm

    If you aren't actively enjoying the game even if you want to play casually it would take hours to get enough gold (even just doing daily games) to pay for a new hero. I'd rather just fork over the $10/mo than have to waste my time in AI games just to generate gold.

    One of the major hadoop backend projects takes a fuckton of time to deploy. Literally like 20 minutes. Luckily you really only need to do that if you write new scripts so it can source in the necessary property files for the environment. Other than that you can make the Hadoop uber jar in...

    I just got off the phone with BofA. I worked hard throwing money at my principal to get at least 20% into it. So I called BofA to see about refi options. Moving off FHA to get rid of PMI (~$100/mo) and a lower rate (4%) I'm looking at $450 savings every month. It blows my mind you can save...

    Sounds like a stupid policy. IDEs auto complete and auto generate syntax for you why would I need to memorize exactly how the syntax works when my brain memory knows more that "At this point Intellij will just pop up the syntax and I hit enter." Its not like I'll ever NOT have an IDE to...

    I should be on at the stroke of 8 as well tonight. I'll just be solo though not looking to party. My wife's friend is staying with us over the weekend and I have no clue when she gets in tonight so I can't commit.

    Well it says in the KS Dec of 2016. I imagine this one will come out quicker than the original since it should just use the tools and engine they already wrote and designed for D:OS.

    Why would I dedicate even 5 minutes of my life just to complete dailies for a game I don't even find fun anymore? If you're just playing vs AI for make believe gold it maybe time to step back and figure out if this is actually the game for you.

    Fear the Walking Dead

    I mean I'm not going to try and make sense of rotting corpses walking and trying to eat people but they have never been shown to leave scat anywhere, their blood doesn't actually corse their veins and the only real "functional" part of them is the brain. I don't think it is a massive stretch to...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    I don't think the zombies ever really "need" to eat. There are instances of them finding a person who hanged themselves and they come back still "alive" as a zombie. Since they're hanging by a noose you have to assume they have not eaten.

    I know the content creation team probably doesn't overlap with the "fix it" team but it feels like the game keeps adding more and more content but doesn't go back and tidy up after itself

    I could but I doubt it would be that interesting. The only things I have configured are the DS3, SNES and N64 controller.

    Emulation

    I had to map them the first go around but it seemed fine when I was swapping them around. It would be nice if they gave you canned options like "This is a standard SNES controller" and it did all the mapping for you. I still don't know if the left/right bumpers are set correctly for me since...

    Emulation

    I also remember Primal Rage being the best game ever created and pumping tons of quarters into it at the arcade as a kid. Loaded up the SNES ROM last night and I was like ... "This is the worst game ever created."

    Emulation

    I was able to swap in/out without needing to remap. Though the N64 emulator and controller is a bit wonky. I need to fix up the RetroArch cfg. Everytime I hit start (ie: the button required to start Mario64) it performs a Start+Select action to get out of the ROM. So I mapped it according to...

    Emulation

    I just went the route of buying a slew of USB controllers. Each one is like $10 on Amazon and the games feel and play better using the controller they were designed to play against. Especially N64 shit. I got 2x SNES, 2x NES, 1x N64 for like $60.

    Neither one of us put much emphasis on words. You can say anything you want but actually doing things is different. We're both action-oriented people. I told her I loved her through my actions and I'm just trying to change it up so I do it via my actions and my words now.
