    Where/when do you guys decide it's time to cut and run on a feature? As in, it's not done right, but it works and you definitely don't have time to do it right. I hacked together some ugly after_script so that our pipelines would be less gay. This was unprompted, no planning, and well...

    I mostly fixed my macro. The lone problem ended up being that send the keystroke meant whatever other keys you had depressed, like shift for dumping, is now considered released and repressed, ruining what it was held down for. Since this doesn't queue, same problem?

    I just resort grepping the entire sandbox. Good ol grep and find. I'm not sure what it would take to get over my personal hurdles. I know at the very least my employer would have to pay for it. No way these are remaining cheap long term. Nor would I trust myself currently to know how to set it...

    Considering the corruption and incestuousness of the AI industry, a pessimistic take might be that your employer is being financially incentivized to do this in order to artificially inflate AI demand and usage.

    What do you in the case of external dependencies that are resolved at runtime? I can't get my IDE to resolve those, so forever they remain red squiggles. In my original example, many of the code paths that I ended up touching were referencing external dependencies. How do you identify the...

    I still code, not as much as I'd like, too much managerial shit. But just this week I refactored a python function that was throwing multiple linter errors for complexity. You know, too many lines of code, too many branches, too many parameters, etc. Usually I ignore those but in this case I...

    Part of my job requires working with the entirety of the Android repo. Google has been moving more of their code to Kotlin, which if understand correctly is Java with aids. Our product will invoke multiple jvms to build Android and then invoke many more jvms to run our own Java-based analysis...

    I know he's talking to a D2 streamer, but when was the last you heard Chris talk about playing PoE? It would be really interesting to have him explain why he digs up specific patches of Diablo 2(not LoD) instead of playing the game he created. But, I'm guessing this topic will never be...

    I'm a bit surprised that they're doing this. Events like this are usually to cover for schedule slippage and they seem to be doing ok in that regard(strictly on hitting dates, not quality of what's delivered).

    TLDW: Corsair does a shitty job at jumping on the AI bandwagon and fucking over consumers at the same time. I'm starting to rationalize at what price point does a gaming PC start to rival other regular hobbies. As in a mid-tier PC every ~5 years, electricity costs, and obviously video games...

    Me too, that's why was asking. I actually found that VSCode's remote extension supports WSL very similarly to how it does ssh, so I'm using that. Got my snappy ctrl e and ctrl shift f back.

    Which is worse? VSCode running natively in WSL but displaying on Windows via X11. VSCode running natively on Windows but accessing a sandbox in WSL via network mount.

    Good luck. Refactoring seems on the more reasonable side of measuring someone's aptitude than the typical tests. To some degree, it's why I'm complacent in my job and fear having to look for a new one. I did a path eliding question in perl, didn't finish, yet somehow got hired...

    This can be understandably demotivating. If you played 3.23, you'd know to farm parts of the economy the temple can't touch. As you're coming out of the campaign, that's not much. Got any low level uncut spirit gems? They usually sell for quite a bit.

    Learning to aim your sprints and dodge rolls is the true endgame to PoE2. Run the Dreadnaught end to end without getting stuck on the terrain. The irony is that this ends up closer to PoE1 movement skills.

    At this point, I'm looking for any build that can improve upon character mobility. This whirling assault build has screen wide coverage and stun, only tanky Abyss rares survive the stun. I guess that means Pathfinder?

    Been trying a bunch of stuff through the campaign. Whirling Assault(cookie cutter Titan with Surround hat and Brass Dome) has felt the least shitty so far. If you feel so motivated, you can interrupt it with a dodge roll so that you aren't locked into all 7 attacks, which I actually like...

    Since we're on a retirement tangent....if you have an IRA account full of VTSAX, is it worth converting that to ETFs? I'm trying to max out my IRA contribution limit and 401k contribution limit but I'm new to ETFs. Any reason not to use them and avoid the 0.04% expense ratio on VTSAX?

    Runes were supposed to replace the crafting bench. They were (too?) common in 0.2. Too rare in 0.3. Still too rare in 0.4, I'm not even sure they adjusted the drop rate. Some lesser runes still go for multiple exalts at this point. Mind bottling.

    You have no proof they intend to do that. I have a year of proof that they don't seem to want to address the issue. I'm not going to pretend it's an easy problem to solve, but they aren't even giving it lip service.

    Path of Exile 2

    PoE1 emphasizes your weapon as an attack build to a degree. And your ability to meet that demand while leveling through drops, barebones crafting, and the bench is somewhat achievable. The passive tree is putting in a lot of work too. I still prefer to league start something that doesn't...
