RE: <spoiler>pre madonna</spoiler> on a ¡Jedi! hunt
I'd expect them to be familiar with collections and LINQ*,
Here we just ask for basic logic, but the candidates don't even seen to understand that one DateTime being lesser than the other does not mean they represent different days. (they forget about time)

RE: A Game of WTF
This is a big and scary thing for me to talk about because there is a part of me quite scared that I'm going to mess it up and it's going to be terrible, especially after all this time.
And what if you mess up? just fix it.
It's your project, don't be scared and remember that if something does not end up quite right you can go back and change it.
if you really want to release it, do early access, get feedback, etc. Just remember that it's YOUR project and YOU are the one who needs to like it.
I did originally want to pursue a setup where you could conceivably research multiple things at once because an entire race of people would research multiple things at once, but sadly from a gameplay perspective that's not entirely viable.
You can have a number of scientists to allocate to research each tech, make it so the more scientists you have researching a tech, the faster it goes, but make it have diminishing returns, so you can split them on various techs.

@Onyx to be fair, a future about boobs could only be good.

RE: Logical Expressions in C/C++. Mistakes Made by Professionals
@blakeyrat He posts this articles on other programing forums too, It's a way to promote their static analyzer. Sometimes the articles area good, sometimes amusing, didn't read this one yet to say if it's worth the read.
@Alticor You'll have far less luck here than on gamedev.net, people here are far more pedantic and far less interested in work stuff, but by all means try it.
@dkf there has been examples of false positives on his articles before, but the only ones I'm aware off are worth of an article on CodeSOD.

RE: Only for Albert Einstein: 3-3×6+2=??
And judging from that, they should have named it WTP.
Perl is at least write-only, I've no idea how someone can write that, let alone read it.

RE: A Game of WTF
diminishing returns if planets far from each other are researching the same item
That sounds really good, you could base the overall research speed on the distance between planets as seen by you current communications tech: if you've some form of quantum entanglement communications, I would expect distance to not be much of a factor, but if you are still at conventional radio level, even adjacent planets should not contribute too much to research speed.
I'm due to restart this project. I've learned a lot of better ways to do things.
That's the downfall of all my projects.

RE: How hard is Git integration? Can Spambots do it?
They should absolutely be written separately: the GUI layer by GUI experts who, using a mocked-up backend, run usability trials before they settle on a final design, while the logic is written by developers who don't know or care about usability.
They should care about usability, but usability of the API is not the same as usability of the GUI. Both should be designed with their final users in mind, APIs for programmers and GUIs for general users.
An API that can only be used by a single interface is of no use, and that's what you get when you build the API to support the interface.

RE: Path of Exile
"Performance Improvements" don't begin to describe what the update did to the game, the update cut the time the game took to open for me from 2 minutes to 4 seconds

RE: Path of Exile
I literally just said on chat that I would like to upgrade the Bramblejack as long as it's not something like "kill malachai wearing it"
Well, the requirement is to kill daresso wearing it. Not much better.

RE: Path of Exile
@Magus Bane of legends prevents the overkill leech from endless hunger unless you would have overkilled the mob from over 20%
damagelife, that's the only sad thing on that tree -
RE: Path of Exile
@Magus I was going for CA tho, and it is not affected by %spell damage.
for those, I think I would use something like this:
I hope that those chaos nodes are worth more than spell damage, I imagine both 15% increased damage over time and 15% increased chaos damage stack

RE: Path of Exile
TIL that "cheap" means 15 ex on the PoE forums. (that's the price of a build for occultist chaos spells)
I'm tinkering around this passive tree:
I think I should be able to do it taking the ES nodes first.
also, I think I picked up Zealoths oath but no way to regen life, need to rethink that. I also would like to find some points to get Growth and decay but, with CI, I don't feel confortable taking any more points from ES, +252% already looks like it's on the low end.
Yesterday I tried a ranger using CA. I kinda feel more confortable with that, maybe because
I didn't take such a stride on the passive tree, maybe because it's a bow skill and the ranger looks like the archer of the bunch. -
RE: Path of Exile
@Magus what spells do you use for that occultist build? ED + Contagion? I find them slow in the early game, something I'm missing?
I kinda wanted to make a elementalist based on the heralds, where you would use something like kinetic blast to trigger all of the heralds, then see if they can chain off each other. I would need a serious chance to shock and freeze tho.
I do want to play a witch, I'm just at a loss when it comes to which spells I should use. Maybe even caustic arrow?
(I know that's an attack)

RE: Path of Exile
@blek I want to do some variation of CoC with the physical spells, but that might be too expensive to start, people say that one cheap build to start a league is caustic arrow, so I might be doing that.

RE: Path of Exile
@Magus even with half the armor?
Edit: well, it's giving up 5k armor for 1k health, considering how armor is doing nothing for me right now, I might be getting a better deal than I think...

RE: Path of Exile
This is the skill tree of the character that makes me rage by dying too much: passive tree
(it's konohosame on my profile http://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Sentenryu/characters)
Aside from the mace nodes that I was on the process of undoing (dumb idea going for a stun build with my ammount of experience, worked fine on normal, not at all after cruel), should I've gone for more life than armor then?
I intend it to be like this one after reset: passive tree
That will give me enough resists to swap the "Corpse Grip" Ruby Ring I'm using by another that rolled +40% fire and lightning resistance, the only reason I'm not using that one now is because of the cold resistance that is already quite low.
(And don't mind the mess I made with the gems, I'm well aware it's quite bad right now, I'm using only enduring cry, the EQ links and Heavy strike, the rest is just leveling)
