    Path of Exile

    Anyone know if Focused Channeling and Pact of Lycia will apply(and snapshot) to an existing stack of WOrb? For example, let's say you encounter a tough target and you're not sure your WOrb has the snapshot buffs. Can you safely assume pressing the Pact and channeling for 3s will apply the...

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

    I mean that's essentially what I'm doing. It's far quicker and easier for me to type up a paragraph or two, and since I know the codebase pretty well, I can give quite specific details that mitigate wandering off and doing stupid shit. I like this from a standpoint of far fewer instances of...

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

    My boss has continued ramping up usage of AI(Claude Code) on our team. He's rolling out a couple skills that have me a bit concerned about how many tokens I'm going be using daily and my coding skills atrophying. He developed implementing and reviewing agents that will talk and iterate with...

    Project Hail Mary

    If no light gets to the surface, why would the Eridians give a shit about the astrophage? How would they even know about it?

    Path of Exile

    Just getting to maps. Slayer Shield Crush has been a great league start, especially since Dawnbreaker is 1c, which I would not have counted on 1 day into the league. IDK if better than Ele Hit, which is likely still great despite the nerf. Just, different. League mechanic is ok. Charts seem...

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

    I have a subordinate like that. There's something missing in their ability to apply introspection to their processes. If you have a repo the size of Android, might be fun to see how he copes with that.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    How do you measure if you're too reliant on AI? My boss made an offhand remark recently that he uses Claude to do everything. I think most people interpreted it to mean within the context of coding, but I've seen him use it to write performance reviews. That aside, he's a pretty smart guy...

    More tokens. More choice of what models you can use those tokens on.

    Why did they nerf the gull then?

    Path of Exile

    Yes, the games being testing grounds for each other is quite lame. 1 is still better in a few very important and fundamental ways however.

    Path of Exile

    Better than 3.28 version. What's the point of spiders you can't support with gems?

    Path of Exile 2

    Seriously, out gearing mechanics is the true endgame of poe. Which is why sprint is bullshit.

    The Drama (2026)

    Is this uncomfortable in it makes you think about taboo topics? I really liked After Life for that. Or is this uncomfortable for second-hand embarrassment? If so, no thanks, repressed memories surfacing unasked do that enough.

    Pluribus

    Wait, what? Did they start writing Season 2 after Season 1 finished airing? Was Vince needed for every part of the process?
