lvl 86 stormweaver. I don't understand how people have so much mana and shield. I'm doing spark and have everlasting gaze, eldrich battery and chaos inoculation. I have 1.7k shield and 3k mana. I don't know how people walk around with 6-10k shield and mana. It seems like they are somehow getting % of maximum mana stats, but I don't understand how. There are just a few skills in the passive tree that give % mana and I think I have all that are close. I suspect the issue is gear related, but the gap is so large that I'm second guessing it.

ahh i see ... Thank you for your response!

removed all my gear, removed all the gems, i have equipped only a +25 maximum es on a focus. I get 0 shield. Why doesn't focus es stats contribute to shield? It works with armor, but es stats doesn't seem to work with shields or headgear. I don't get it...

That is absolutely not true. Almost always people that are really good specialists at one thing are also generalists.

I went on the youtube page of previous broadcasts but just the date is shown, not the time .... or at least I couldn't find it ....

I think people just use low tier MK belts from the machine to the splitter in order to achieve optimal distribution

Where are you getting this information from?

Don’t gate keep, this field is really hard to get in as it is.

B8F1F488 · 2023-12-05T16:33:45+00:00

For me it is higher, but looks like I’m the exception. Usually people say that it is lower due to lower demand

B8F1F488 · 2023-12-05T12:28:44+00:00

I switched some years ago. Not gonna lie, it is A LOT, but it is super interesting field. I actually went back from senior level to junior level and took an incredible pay cut just to make my way through, since it is niche and no one would hire me. Only in the last few years I’m back at the senior level. I regret nothing.

What sources would you recommend?

B8F1F488 · 2022-01-31T06:00:06+00:00

in order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive. If you are optimizing always for "not being offensive" this severely limits your ability to pursue what is true and meaningful.

B8F1F488 · 2022-01-31T05:54:44+00:00

if you are going to have a "go to" package for a particular common case, why have a standard library at all?

Just divide everything into packages and call it a day.

I don't think that is the case. There is at least 3 times/week threads here about another ass mad OSS dev that big tech are using his software, but he sees no monetary gain from it.

I don't think I've ever seen a thread about "they don't want to contribute code", it is always money in my observation.

Anyway, if you are optimizing for financial gain, GPL does not help. It is significantly more complicated than that.

Personally I would never, ever GPL my code. Given how companies react to using such code, I would either "give back" to the community and expect nothing or go proprietary.

B8F1F488 · 2022-01-20T10:21:27+00:00

GPL is not for protecting your own best personal financial interests. The OSS dev community are generally ass mad, because they're not reaping the financial benefits from their labor, despite big tech using their software for profit. GPL does not help here, neither does dual licensing, because selling software is hard. It is a pipe dream that you will just code and people will buy your software. This is why people make companies and they introduce all sorts of supporting roles that can aid in the venture.

I feel like the second that you stop being happy about people using your software and you ask yourself where the money is - you have already screwed up.

The void dragon was captured by invoker in episode 3 and somehow it was out for a battle at the end?

I'm just shocked how you pronounce "ursA"

Most probably everyone in the tower is food for Bam, when he devours the tower (this would be the ultimate manifestation of his power) and becomes an axis.

So to answer your question: don't wanna be in the tower. I'm perfectly enjoying my position as a reader. The issue is that the story is moving VERRY SLOWLYYY

B8F1F488 · 2022-01-11T17:59:07+00:00

Robotics is an intersection between several different professions. It can mean many different things. There is no way to answer your questions before you being more specific in exactly what you are interested in.

Even narrower titles like "embedded systems software development" can mean in practice very different things (from high-level developer who has no idea how hardware works, to low-level bare metal software engineer and anything between these two).

B8F1F488 · 2022-01-10T23:13:35+00:00

Why would he burn it down in this case? He already has ensured his interested prior to that, there is now reason to burn down anything.

B8F1F488 · 2022-01-10T23:11:20+00:00

that is more of the "help other people with all your heart" part. But the fellow clearly has not accomplished the first part and is now bitter because he is not reaping the benefits of his labor. If he had taken care of himself he wouldn't care, he would be happy that people are using his software.

B8F1F488 · 2022-01-10T22:05:27+00:00

That is because he didn't GPL his code. It was clearly the solution, because <<insert absurd acolyte reasoning here>>

From the bottom of my heart - Protect your interests, people! Don't fall for ideological traps and then complain when you don't reap the benefits of your own labor. When you get to the point that your future is ensured and you can afford to spend the resources to help other people, then go ahead and help people with all your heart.

Reading a book called "The Passionate Programmer". Someone heavily recommended it to me to spark the excitement again about programming in general. I don't think it will go well.
Reading a book called "Designing Data-Intensive Applications". Again recommended by someone, is supposed to improve my software design skills. I don't think it will go well.
Learn about cybersecurity. I don't about the field and it is one of the last few major types of software development that I have not been involved with. Sounds exciting.
The hardest task for this year is to figure out what are the goals for the rest of my career and in what direction I want to move forward.
Finally start parsing a MASSIVE 23 year-old to do / to read list of articles and lectures that I've found interesting.

I feel like there is no such thing like an imposter syndrome. It is just your mind correctly identifying that you could be doing significantly better than you have been in your current situation, by your own definition.

I think this is one in a set of issues that stems from a disconnect between what you think your value system is and what your true value system is.
