    This one was for sure. But I'm also wondering if there are any part time type jobs for this. Wouldn't mind doing a few when I had the time for extra bucks.

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

    Got a cold email today about a full-time contract grading coding-agent work for a frontier lab. Remote US, $150/hour, 40 hours a wee for 6 months. The work is reading agent transcripts and pull requests all day, which patch is actually better, which tests are game-able, what the diff really...

    I remember back in my night community college classes there was a group of students from the DRC. They were well dressed and groomed. Good students. Quite the opposite from the local African Americans with their pants halfway down their ass.

    Remnant 2

    I got pissed with that music harp thing. Could not get that thing to work despite looking up hints.

    I mean, this sounds exactly like every other legacy system that already exists. We maintain an ancient ASP.NET WebForms app that started in the early .NET 2 days. Over the years people dumped in different third-party frameworks, flipped patterns every couple of years, and nobody ever cleaned the...

    We write device drivers to interface third-party physical devices with our software. Unit testing can only take you so far, especially when the vendor's spec documentation is often WRONG. It makes the process extremely labor intensive and honestly makes me wonder why we're still in this business.

    Dark Matter

    Next season is Silo's last. 2027 release.

    Dark Matter

    It's based on a book series, I believe. So I imagine it might follow the same path as Silo.

    Not really. I mean, she's appropriately traumatized.

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

    I'm on SuperGrok ($30/month) because that gives you access to Build. Unless they changed it, you don't get access to the CLI tool with the basic subscription.

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

    Grok is a big boy. I have subs to all three (OpenAI, Anthropic, and X), and Grok is equally capable.

    Most of our group was slow to start using coding agents. That is over now. Almost everyone is using them, and stories are completing a lot faster -- and our testers are getting crushed. They still do most of the work by hand, so they are really falling behind. I keep wondering what this looks...

    The End of Oak Street (2026)

    Thought this was pretty okay, especially considering the runtime. If it had dragged on for two-plus hours, forget it. As a short and sweet action/sci-fi movie, though, it works fine. Of course they can't help but to sprinkle in the gay shit.

    Reacher

    Again, I don’t understand why some of you think Reacher is an ultra-realistic TV show. I enjoyed this season for its over the top action sequences. That jump-on-the-table move was awesome.

    There was also a "Dark Matters" hosted by John Noble.

    I agree with them. I saw this in the theater when it was released. It got a few laughs, but I remember something feeling off even then. Their discussion put a name to those problems.

    Marvel's Wolverine

    I think the problem is, once you hire these people they are near impossible to get rid of.

    American Horror Story

    I remember the last one with spiders or some shit. They did half a season and I don't recall them finishing it?

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I played this years ago and thought it looked incredible. There just was not much game at the time. I also remember it as a hosted session more than a persistent world. Is that still how it works after 1.0, or are people running dedicated servers now so the world stays up when nobody is logged...

    Crimson Desert

    But the combat doesn't really have any depth, right? And by depth I mean Dark Souls / Elden Ring move sets and builds.

    For us, we just got a token bump to "60,000" credits per month -- whatever that equates to. All I know is, we were running half that up until then and it was apparently costing the org couple hundred bucks a month. I mean, that's pretty cheap all things considered. Our new junior dev is...

    Yeah, but then it would be no different than a single tile on a virtual desktop. But you're right, there will be a delay when switching modes. Not sure how annoying that will be. Regardless, fun project so we'll see how it goes.

    It's on Apple TV or the high seas.

    Stargate SG-1

    I don’t know... that’s actually a pretty cool idea. It is a way of rebooting the franchise without quite rebooting it. Older fans would recognize the characters and actors, while it would still feel reasonably fresh to newer viewers who never watched the original series. They could return to the...

    I have only used tiling window managers a little. But I'm considering creating a compositor built around screens rather than tiles. Launch an application and it gets an "Application Screen": exclusive use of the monitor. No tiles, no floating windows, no decorations. Save dialogs, modals, extra...

    Silo

    Bernard suggested that’s not a machine (AI) but an actual person they’ve been talking to. I’m also wondering, given the "memory-wiping" vitamin D, whether they haven’t been in the silos as long as they think.

    Hey, I've been entertained. Big titty Asian chick is a terrible actress, but eh who cares. It's been a fun ride with all the action.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Highly recommend this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/14430 This mod has breathed new life into the game for me. Even on Honor Mode, the base game is a cakewalk now. This one adds genuine difficulty and situations where you really have to use every tool in the toolbox. I had...

    Yeah this sounds super interesting. Just don't have a system to try it out on. Hate to screw up my current CachyOS set up which has been working awesome.

    Fargo

    I love this series, although, like everyone has said above, seasons 1 and 2 were absolutely the best. I didn’t bother with season 4 with Chris Rock… it seemed like it was being panned at the time and was during the height of the woke shit.

    I had Opus 5 code review Grok 4.5, Grok read the code review, do the changes, back to Opus review the changes, new code review, and then update. They went around in circles and burned nearly my entire week token allotment.
