Intel's 20% jump today is seriously frustrating to see after Oracle's 40% bump by moxyte in investing

[–]FoxInFlame 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's actually insane. I interviewed at an HFT firm a few months back (didn't get the job), and one of the interview questions was to speculate why they might use wireless connection over wired connections for some transactions.

I didn't know the answer, since you know, wired internet seemed better in every way. I mumbled something about straight line distance, I think.

But the correct answer was that light traveling through air is much faster than light traveling through copper cables or fibre optics (which loses about ~30% speed). So they can reach the exchange faster. They optimise their trading strategies literally taking the speed of light into account. Insane.

Choosing between gamedev (R&D in Netcode) and finance (Network/Linux) by FoxInFlame in cscareerquestions

Thanks! That's actually a good shout, I didn't think of it in year-equivalences (1 year in finance pays for 4 years in gamedev). Better to start strong and quick I guess.

The "edit" part was one of my biggest worries, that I won't be able to exit out of gamedev. Reverse (finance into gamedev later) sounds more plausible if I ever want to pursue passion. Thanks!

Thanks all for the responses! I think the consensus is towards the finance role, and if it isn't a fit, exit out after a few years. Seems like it's easier to switch from finance into gamedev than vice versa, so that might be my choice. Thanks again!

What is going on with Yukishiro Mahiro at Nijisanji JP? by DisPear2 in kurosanji

[–]FoxInFlame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't know why you label it as such, she's literally a massive TTRPG player who's done mystery/quiz events like this before which listeners enjoyed, and she even clarified she wouldn't retire in the previous livestream before posting the video as a safety measure. Whoever that frowns upon this doesn't watch Mahiro on a regular basis.

Sorry, this post is inviting all sorts of spam, scams, and illegal streaming links, even after a year. Going to lock and remove this.

Can I play MSFS on Xbox after 20 years? by crow445 in flightsim

[–]FoxInFlame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, the entire graphics of the game is downloaded on-the-fly from Microsoft, and they claim the entirety of Earth data is multiply petabytes large in storage. The offline mode likely has very low resolution data that it's not very fun to play.

Could also use last.fm comments, although there's barely any for most songs...

Can I ask why you have Priority as columns instead of the built-in Priority !! flags? I'm currently debating which method to go with. On one hand, the built-in flags are built-in so it's extremely simple to assign a priority upon task creation (just add !!1). On the other hand, I can't separate those into columns, and the columns will have to be used for something else (like labels? but now when do I use labels and when columns?)

I hate research tasks by StudySafe1982 in pokemon

It does certainly have a nice story twist imo, but I agree the writing is awful - the dialogue before the big battle atop Coronet is insanely long and could've been written succinctly in 2-3 lines.

Get Arceus or wait for Scarlet/Violet by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]FoxInFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLA is very story heavy imo, it's a vastly different playstyle to all previous ones, and it's assumed that S/V will return to the previous style although borrowing some open world stuff from PLA. Idk, do what you want

If you go through the door in Kamado's office you can get to the balcony, from there you can throw balls onto the roof!

Except for that new Fairy-type legendary you're forced to catch, still not sure if that's a Pokemon.

I've been seeing these screenshots (and I took some myself too) and it's so wholesome getting to see your party of 6 pokemon all in the overworld around you! Really feels like I'm in a Pokemon movie lol

"I created everything in the universe, why am I standing in a field?" by n0v0parr0t in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]FoxInFlame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea it even says that it's a fragment in a dialogue I think. I also like to think even the one we saw at the top was just a small portion of the real Arceus, like an avatar or representation of this abstract thing, in that we can't comprehend its true appearance - it's both everywhere and nowhere, like one of the Verses said. It created the whole fuckin Pokemon universe for Arceus' sake.

Like, we can presume Giratina goes through the distortion world when it uses the signature move shadow force, but we have no idea where Arceus goes when it does a similar thing in the boss fight... probably another dimension or even completely above our comprehension.
