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

    AI isn't replacing people anyway, that's what the layman (the people being admonished for not understanding "coding jobs") think. There aren't less people in the workforce. They are just from other countries. Its the excuse being used to hire cheaper labor from elsewhere. Its the manufacturing...

    He just wants to be a cunt about this major outsourcing crisis, acting like swaths of people here, in this thread, were actually ever laughing at anyone about their own job status or behaving like he is at this very moment.

    The changes to the Whisperer mana flask node are made for you @Deathwing . Its like a 2000% better version of that crappy Pathfinder node now. Gives both mana and life recovery and no less recovery downside. Mana and Life recovery problems solved with 1 node and 1 good mana flask. And briskwrap...

    Ya they didnt want to do a vitrectomy because it also induces cataracts. So different procedure. Im done and back and nice and groggy from the anesthesia. And have the biggest eye patch ever. Also pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade sounds like some kinda fancy michelin star gastronomy dish.

    I get to have an "emergency" procedure tomorrow. Been having some weird stuff with vision in my right eye, intermittent floaters, a sort of fog over periphery areas of vision, etc. Turns out I have a detached retina and its one of those things where the longer you wait the worse the odds are of...

    Yea man, I don't know what you guys are talking about. OK Google and Siri don't even actually listen to you. They just pretend to listen, they already knew what you were gonna ask.

    How did you resolve it without AI? Do that exact same thing, but prompt AI to do it (or at least attempt to do it) for you. One problem at a time. AI that exists today is not intelligent at all, but its got a lot of stored data and can access it (like memories) way faster than we can. It...

    My favorite part of Frieren is the fact that the author/writer(s) very clearly understand actual human curiosity and behavior. Rule 34 except for spells.

    I don't trust anything, I look at the output and then tell it to refactor its own output until it spits out something that actually works. Yes, this is faster than doing it myself. A lot faster. But you also don't use AI (or at least shouldn't) to crawl an entire repo or branch and try to...

    Also, something that is happening to me now... I use AI all the time. It streamlines everything, its obviously very useful, and when you have to actually teach it new parts of your codebase so it isn't a drooling moron its kind of fun. And then you finish that, and you just send it commands to...

    I have never, in my entire career, struggled to get interviews. Until the last 2 years. It went from recruiters beating down my door until Covid, to only getting contacted once every few weeks, to absolutely nothing and now can't even get one to take a call or even attempt to work with me.

    I don't see a future where it completely takes over to that point, even 10 years down the road, for the exact reasons you already outlined. What I think is more likely to happen is, it starts to move that way (already is actually), products actually stop functioning, companies start bleeding...

    I hear ya. Those DBAs are almost definitely full of it and trying their hardest to keep the iron curtain around their little kingdom so they can continue being lazy. But it is what it is, I deal with it in certain areas of my own job as well.

    Messing around with some older PoB stuff (3.26 tree so not entirely accurate) but I think this Whisperer shell is pretty great as a lowish budget early game https://pobb.in/751kSASbjgO9 As long as you don't mind hitting a mana flask once every 11 seconds for big recovery.

    2008 will be a topic of discussion probably forever. They made movies about it, its a topic in financial/business courses, and a case study in general. 2020 will be talked about for years and will be a case study, but not because of anything related to the stock market. Nobody will be making...

    In a similar vein my "resolution" this year is to gauge early retirement "feel" for myself by cost cutting wherever possible to see exactly how much wiggle room I have compared to... every year up to this point where I've kind of spent without caring (I'm not a big spender to begin with though...

    Combat in any souls game can be an insanely frustrating experience. The hang time along with the feints is infuriating. The visuals and atmosphere in Elden Ring are some of the best, maybe the best, I've ever seen/felt in a video game.

    Most of the scenes being discussed do serve a purpose. They are only what? 71 days since the alien takeover of earth? They are the last 12 unaffected people left and they are coming to terms with the new world. It's a little boring I agree but I don't think most of those scenes are as pointless...
