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

    I care to the extent that it might come back to me and risk my job. FWIW, I pretty much agree with everything you're saying. But that also doesn't prevent higher ups from using you as a scapegoat. I'm in a weird spot where almost the entire company is open source, so who gives a fuck if code...

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

    Most programmers don't understand AI enough to make this judgment(I include myself in that group). How can we expect lawyers to do so?

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Hatorade is correct, that is still quite cheap relative to other hobbies. There was a small tangent in the desktop thread, at what price does hardware and electricity make gaming comparable? I'm not sure we came to a conclusion other than "we're not there...yet" and "sucks that we're starting...

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

    How do you guys prevent exfiltration of proprietary code and sensitive information by AI? Assume, if you aren't already, that I'm extremely uninformed on this topic. I have a long list of negatives wrt AI, but one fuckup and oops, source code is now part of some LLM's training model makes me...

    Phys light of meaning is not cheap as it's one of the few ways to scale non-bleed phys dots.

    Band of Brothers

    My kid and I recently watched Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, and 1917. It was a real chore to get through BoB and he fell asleep during some of the less action oriented episodes. SPR was better but I still had to poke him a few times. The death camp scenes nor the gore seemed to phase...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    While I'm sure there are some people, especially from our age group, that it feels "wrong" to pay for digital media, I think in this case it's also: Still pushing shorts despite you knowing I don't click on them. And you won't let me block them. Still don't have anything approaching a robust...

    Doesn't seem like any context is missing.

    Porn dogging, is that some form of bestiality? Also, you didn't answer her question.

    Path of Exile

    When I looked, prismatic oil was 330c in Phrecia. I usually exclude those prices from my league start pob. Either way, I'd much rather they add more sources of target range. Weapon strike range might compensate, but that's not a common stat either.

    Path of Exile

    My run through Phrecia 2 made me really miss Siones and you'll probably feel it even more without giant EH aoe. Still, some interesting ideas. Not being able to utilize bleed always irked me. My guess is that some streamer will make a build video and it will get Katabasised.

    Path of Exile

    Now, to ponder whether Xevy is making a good faith argument that despite the evidence on this very page that I'm still enthusiastic about build theorycrafting, the game itself has changed deleteriously due to things like T17 affixes and PoE2. :emoji_thinking:

    How are there 1.5 leagues and an event and yet I'm still bored?

    Path of Exile

    I agree. After they nerfed corpse skills and left corrupting fever/cry to rot, I was having trouble finding a dirt cheap league starter. Which means this will be nerfed next league. I come back to these builds months later, when the reasons for decisions have long left my brain. In this...
