"Where do you see yourself in five years?"
I have never had an answer to that question. I am sure this varies by person but is that a terrible thing or a sign that something is wrong?
I have made radical and life-altering changes in the last year and I can see how bad my life had gotten but I still have no answer for the question about what I would like to be doing professionally in 5 years time.
Another thing I noticed. Others talked about it using API etc etc so that means that you can't visually trick it by stopping an attack mid animation like you can with human players right?
I loved the different ideas to throw the bot off like pulling creeps in a way that would not work for a human. Slacks' courier strategy was entertaining as well.
I don't know enough (no more than a layperson) about AI to have any meaningful comment there. Do they need to train the bot on every hero the same way or does it only need to relearn the hero specifics (and not items/strategies)?
I think so. My blog is a mix of everything (personal, technical, random). It is a really good way to learn to be a better communicator. Especially when you have trouble keeping thoughts in order.
It also takes time to get better at writing in general so (IMO) the sooner you start the better.
I never consider myself an expert (in anything), even though I think I am competent and get paid to work so clearly my skills are of use.
I have a fire stick (gifted to me) and the twitch app on it is awful. Bad enough that even I noticed. As far as I can tell there is no way to filter the videos by language/region like I can on the desktop. The videos are displayed in 'current viewers' descending order and I have to scroll for a while and hope that the stream title has enough info to guess at the language (I don't have favorite streamers, I will watch whoever).
I haven't found a way around this in the months I have had it and half the time I use the youtube app and watch a pre-recorded game instead.
I am guessing a bit but I am understanding 'gain time' to be accrued time.
I think 'score out to' was 'sentenced to'.
If I read it right they are saying (mostly) the time spent in jail does not accrue days off a sentence like the time spent in the prison would.
.+@.+(\..+)?
should satisfy you both right? I use the original or a form of usually when I had to check emails.
I very strongly considered it. Or just walking (3 miles). The two hold ups are that I don't want to turn up to work all sweaty (or wet, or frozen etc) and to a lesser extent carrying all my stuff (purse, wallet, coffee, lunch).
Also going home for lunch is highly convenient and I really like that nap.
I wouldn't have to bike/walk every day of course. I am still considering it (clearly).
Software Developer (mainly web). Full time. Sole developer in a 3-4 person department. Our consulting company (15-20 persons) was recently acquired by a much larger (1300 persons) but hasn't had an affect on us (yet).
[05:30 or [06:00] - wake up
[06:00]-[07:00] - make coffee and watch tv while I work out
[07:00] or [0715] - shower
[08:00] get to office (5 minute drive)
[08:15] - wait for my computer to finish starting up and be usable
[08:15]-[11:30] - work on assigned tickets, could be projects or bug-fixes or client meetings or anything in between
[11:30] - [12:30] - go home and make a sandwich for lunch, try to have a ~30 min nap
[12:30] - [17:00] - more assigned work
[17:00]-[23:00] - usually gaming and dinner, sometimes tv, errands
[23:00]-[05:30] - sleep, variable from 22:00-00:00 but consistent wake time.
Emails and chat are open all day. Not used much so it's not really a distraction. Some days I get to work 15 mins early and then I wait until Friday and leave early. I am one of 2-3 people who is here after 4:30 pm.
Most of the work is integrating custom functionality into the Umbraco CMS. Sometimes I get to write stand-alone apps though, which is nice. I get to do all the code and SQL and half the time figure out IIS stuff. We also support many clients that have outdated systems (ASP, ColdFusion) but those are usually bug-fixes to keep them running as best we can. Ever since the acquisition there has been very few days where there is enough work to fill a whole day (many many very big projects are just sitting at various stages of approval/planning/etc).
When I don't have enough work to do I build out functionality on my site or write an article. I do the coding here and we have a designer so I am getting to learn a lot more about CSS and layout that I don't get to do usually. Very rarely I will just pick up a tutorial to work through. My site has taken enough time to get to where it is that this is pretty rare.
To some people it sounds great but I would like to have consistent work and coworkers who I can actually talk to, even though we all are in cubicles next to each other, we are not a communicative group and the designer wants nothing to do with code (even though I'd like to get cross trained on design work). I've never been part of a code review and it's depressing not getting feedback about anything.
Sorry for the wall of text.
You sort of described the plot of the movie In Time.

Just because you can't age doesn't mean you can't die. I think if people started living forever there would be a lot of rebellion from the people who are not given that access. Assuming at that point they can't just use brute force to protect themselves from the masses.
That is what I did for this challenge: https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/comments/52enht/201...

I know my code is super verbose compared to other people's but I'd rather be understood than clever.
Except the second guy promised he wouldn't sell you his medicine because he only sells to the people in a different town.
Many places have 1 decent internet provider with no opportunity to change providers. Some places have an option if you downgrade significantly enough.

"By 2050, more than 66 percent of the world's population will be living in so-called "smart cities." These are metropolitan areas where everything will be digitally connected. ... we'll have smart hospitals, farms, and highways, and it's likely they'll all talk to one another. Connected devices will monitor everything from air quality to energy usage and traffic congestion."
While that might lead to efficiency that makes me feel it's more of a dystopia than a place I'd want to live.
To me says: there will be someone monitoring you to make sure you are a good little cog and don't disturb the status quo.
I caught my eye with the edge of a cardboard box. On the way to the hospital I had to drive into the sun. Both keeping my eye open or closed was painful.
The test they did was a couple of drops in my eye and a black-light. The end result was just a few days Vicodin script and after a couple days I was fine. The drugs didn't even reduce the pain from what I could tell. Luckily they made me tired so I slept for most of those days anyways.
Pork as well (unless I am misunderstanding the entry). My mom said that her grandmother would often make them Head Cheese[0] (before she learned what it was). I am happy to never have had that experience.
I had taken the public bus for years and I don't recall people interacting before smart phones were popular. Maybe it's different on a subway or in different cities.
I found the worst people around me with phones are the older ones. The teenagers put it down but the older people seem to think that a text will expire if they don't respond immediately, regardless of what they are doing at the time.
I am interested. email in profile.
everyone has a different idea of freely.
Does requiring a prescription make something not freely available?
What about stores that limit sales (cough syrup or whatever)?
Cigarettes/alcohol have age restrictions and I would call them freely available. I took the comment to mean something more along those lines.
1. The experience.
2. Not everyone has a nice entertainment system in their home, if your TV isn't good or the sound isn't good or you got a DVD instead of Blu Ray or you had to stream but have crappy internet (etc).
3. If you don't control the TV you have to watch whatever is on (parents/teens fighting over the the only TV). Maybe less common now but not everyone has multiple TVs.
4. It forces me to carve out the time to watch/finish the movie because I don't get to just pause it and get distracted.
I go if I want to see the movie badly (and only on a specific day when they reduce ticket prices). I also like the gigantic screen and loud noise. I don't usually remember a movie by the time it's out of the cinema and so never remember to watch it later.
Is there another way to get music onto an i(device)?
I am not him but in my case my friends and roommates say things like "You make enough to pay for this/that/whatever", "Why would you look for another job you make good money?" etc.
I do make good money for this area or compared to them but that doesn't mean I don't have to be responsible with it.
People name lots of other things. My violin teacher names all her instruments. She is a bit eccentric though. :)
I just looked up the realty listing and it says it's 2100 sq ft. In the summer the bill was < 100. We get a lot of snow up here and I am betting that even though they added insulation the roof leaked ridiculous amounts of heat. I don't live there anymore luckily.
When I lived at my grandmother's house (rented from her), the utility bill was almost as much as rent through the winter (I think the highest I saw was about $500 one month). The house is from like 1890 or whatever and they did add insulation and all but the heater was on a lot.
I thought you were exaggerating but you are right. It is hard to read. At least the text is visible (not gray on light gray) so that is a positive.
I usually tip % but I don't go to eat at places with such high bills.
I can understand the logic though of a fixed tip. There are all kinds of situations where a server spends the same amount of time/effort for each table and get different tips based on what the person ate?
Why does that make sense that I would tip more because I got a steak instead of a burger and the server had to just bring it to me in either case?
iTunes (on Windows)
-slow (other than playing content everything is just so slow)
-the GUI (inner window) just disappears if I maximize the application (or go over a specific height/width)
-terrible for searching/exploring [0]
[0] I generally search for a specific song then browse the artist's other songs but I would really like to also browse for covers or related content in a way that didn't lose track of the original search/artist.
Example: I search for a Korn song, then I view all Korn songs then I see that other people like System of a Down but I haven't finished viewing all the Korn catalog and if I go to S.O.A.D then I lose track of the Korn. Having a huge delay (compared to other computer functionality) between screens doesn't help either. Then I remember I wanted a cover of the Korn song but I had searched for Korn to compare with the original.
Honestly most of the time I feel like I am misusing it when it is such a chore to find more music. If there is a web interface I will gladly switch.
Seeing this I realize I own a lot more than I thought. I also realize there are several things I would not put publicly on the web.
I don't get art I guess.
Yeah the government gets the money. I hadn't thought it out completely while I was typing and just put what popped into my head.
I did take some form of economics in school but it's not something I really had a heavy interest in but I understand how it's useful.
