    Programming Bootcamps

    It is far, far more important to hire a competent, smart person who meshes well with the team than it is to find someone who knows the random facts you've deemed important. Any smart and competent person can learn any of those questions by just asking another developer and sitting down with...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I used it for a few days. It is a change of pace but it is way too fury hungry to use over HOTA, imo. Especially on bosses.

    Hm I really liked the storyline in BL2. I don't even remember BL1's.

    No clue thats why I'm asking. I know CERN announced they found the Higgs particle but I thought I was reading somewhere some scientists were disputing the claim. Maybe not.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Have they proved the Higgs field exists or is it a concept that just makes a bunch of theories and math work out correctly but cannot currently be proven?

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    The issue is the junk DLC was the non-Gearbox stuff. And this entire game is non-Gearbox.

    Wii U

    I'd imagine they're stagged for a reason you hit on. Nintendo owners seem to generally buy into the Nintendo ecosystem. So they want owners of a 3DS and WiiU to double dip. If they released them at the same time or if they released the WiiU prior to 3DS (which I can only assume the wiiu is...

    Programming Bootcamps

    Yeah but the degree has implied knowledge. It says you have the capacity to learn new things and have the follow-through to finish a long task. I suppose it also states you have a certain passion for development because I personally saw, and many others have similar experience, once the...

    Yeah I've always liked Conn and having them go through the exact same shit we did makes me like them more. Congrats to their female team as well for winning.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    I'm not sure if anyone really knows why the phenomena occurs right now. Assuming matter cannot be created nor destroyed it has to do something more akin to teleportation than simply going out of existence and emerging elsewhere. Would be nuts in a few hundred years we learn the phenomena and...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You can probably gamble for a dex/IAS/CC/CD ring. That is how I got mine. Smart loot will generally give you the main stat just have to hope you luck out and get 2 of the three DPS ones. Ditto for gloves. If you're concerned about your RA (which you should it is very low) just socket...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    May want to get tri-fecta gloves by dropping the AR. Your primary ring leaves some DPS to be desired as well. Can you re-roll the armor off your pants and get sockets?

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Can anyone clarify the whole jumping stuff again inside the atom. Was he talking about photons or electrons? Because I was under the assumption that the electrons kind of kept their same orbits and it was 2 on the inner ring, 6, 10 and so on. So I wasn't quite sure how the jumping works. But...

    They probably just wanted a different project. Similar to Bungie.

    Programming Bootcamps

    Yeah there are ton of things I feel any competent developer in a business environment will know how to do. SQL probably being a major one. Others include things like being able to write an HTTP client and server using a framework (both REST and SOAP), using some form of build tool (maven, ant...

    While I don't discourage learning SQL (not like it is hard the language is tiny) you can just use an ORM in you're in the Java ecosystem to interact with the database as an object so you don't have to do manual queries. Although I seem to always write my own DAO and ORM instead of using...

    I was first taught on VB6, then C++ and then Java. I found it to be a confusing and rough transition. I should also note I learned VB6 and C++ in high school then Java in college. It was awkward going from a functional'ish/GUI/event based language like VB over to C++ from the onset. My...

    Finally got around to watching the newest episode last night. Completely mind blowing. Surprised they didn't even try and touch the whole paradox of "Light is a wave and also a particle" because I was wondering how they explain that. I had absolutely no idea we identified cosmic items using...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They're a 6 prop bracer with a really nice effect on them. Really no downside. -edit- Yeah for Wiz/WD they're only moderately useful since you'll usually be at 100% resource anyways at the start of the next fight. Still nice for some emergency resources mid fight though.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    What class are you? I feel if your class can easily generate your spender the bracers aren't quite as good. But if you're resource starved they're great. Especially to quickly get up to 100% resources to start the next fight.

    I read somewhere it is on their radar to add auto-pickup for gems and mats. Something like the implementation will be if you have it in your inventory and it can stack you will automatically pick it up.

    I'm also happy with the barb buffs. We'll see if in practice my weapon throw does much better damage but 35% is 35%.

    It is too easy to get lost in the muck in C/C++. I don't really recommend learning it from the get-go. I'd personally start with Java since it is high level enough that you don't have to worry about malloc/free, pointers, pass by reference, bitwise and ugly returns but not quite so high that...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Which is why I love bounties and rifts. At most I have to spend 30 minutes to get something done then I go do something else. I'm no longer living in the HS/College EQ days of farming a camp for 8 hours.
