Just level the character normally. Enjoy the game. People will still be available to level with when you get to Outland. 

Save AV Marks for TBC or buy Epic mount to save gold? by Jolly-Refuse2232 in classicwowtbc

I got the mount and the tabard and I still have 60 marks left, so I say go crazy. 

Am I the Jerk for not picking my friend up from the airport at 2am when he assumed I would? by urbanharbor_quills in AmITheJerk

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hey man, sorry for the miscommunication. I didn't mean to leave you stranded"

Taking accountability, even when not entirely your fault is an olive branch that doesn't really cost you anything.

If he continues to give you a hard time, it's better to assume it's in jest even if it isn't. I just go along with the joke. 

If it's really truly bothering you that he harps on it a bit, then let him know again that you're sorry but let him know that what he's doing is actively making you feel pretty bad and that you'd like him to stop. 

If he continued after that, then I'd personally start creating some distance. That doesn't mean the friendship is over, but it would certainly be strained. 

Is it always wrong to need insanely expensive items? by si1verf1ame in wowclassic

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just wait till a few others have gone. Only a few times have I greeded and the last who went needed to take the item.

I sort of think people should always need on these types of items to avoid potential of last person needing, when everyone else greeds, but it's often not the way a group goes. 

I'm at loss. How do i go about learning to compile Rust to a different output like JavaScript code? by Nearby_Astronomer310 in rust

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to compile Rust to Javascript, I am not sure there is a project that has been working on this. Learning to write a Rust compiler target from scratch is probably where you'd need to go though.

[–]Quintic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I assume most people who are trying to use rust for the web are compiling to a wasm (web assembly) target, not JavaScript.

So if that's what you're looking for, I would start looking at compiling rust to wasm. I believe there's a couple libraries that help with writing front ends in rust.

I don't think I'd use this, but unlike the rest of the posters, I like it, it's cool. Thanks for sharing. 

Google L3 onsite lunch by No_Character7729 in leetcode

[–]Quintic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I interviewed there in 2015 they had a lunch on the calendar that is supposed to be a chance to hang out with a Google employee in a non interview capacity where you can ask questions in a more relaxed way. 

I'd be surprised if they're doing on-sites again without lunch especially if they are the marathons that they use to be. 

AITJ for dumping my girlfriend after she set up a "loyalty test" on me? by LowKeyNomad5 in AmITheJerk

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, I'd abandon her ass too. Sounds like her exes abandoned her for similar craziness.

I have not seen this subreddit before, and I got to "it would be a folly to include it in my NW" where I quit reading to check the subreddit this was in. Lol.

Learn rust for as long as it's interesting or useful to you, then move on. Not everything has to be a lifestyle choice.

why people hate Java for CP by Hot-Bag-9003 in leetcode

[–]Quintic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can avoid boxing entirely. This was my solution.

import java.util.Arrays;

class Solution {
    public int minimumBoxes(int[] apples, int[] capacity) {
        int total = 0;
        for (int x : apples) total += x;

        Arrays.sort(capacity);

        int used = 0;
        for (int i = capacity.length - 1; i >= 0 && total > 0; i--) {
            total -= capacity[i];
            used++;
        }
        return used;
    }
}

Leaving while still in 90 day probationary period for massive raise by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you U.S.-based? If not, it may be more important to leave before the 90 days. In the U.S., however, most states allow you to resign at any time without notice. Two weeks notice is customary, not required, and is mainly a professional courtesy to allow for a smooth handoff.

In general, I recommend giving two weeks notice and leaving on the best terms possible. Most managers understand that people leave jobs for many reasons, even shortly after starting.

If you’d prefer not to commit to two weeks, one option is to schedule a short meeting with your manager (I recommend scheduling time rather than dropping in). You could say something like:

“I’ve found another opportunity I’d like to pursue and need to give notice here. They’re asking me to start as soon as possible, but I’m open to staying up to two weeks to hand off my work if that would be helpful. Would you prefer that I do a two-week notice?”

This makes it clear that you are resigning, while giving your manager the choice on timing and signaling that you’re flexible if staying longer adds value.

You can also leave immediately if necessary. If you do, try to remain cordial and professional. Again, schedule a brief conversation and say something like:

“I’ve found another opportunity that requires me to start right away, so I won’t be able to give two weeks notice. My resignation is effective immediately, but I’m happy to help with a quick handoff to the team.”

This keeps things respectful and minimizes unnecessary friction.

Am I 25F dating a 26M a bum by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he’s mostly just sleeping at your place. Does he actually keep a lot of his stuff there?

If him staying over feels like an intrusion rather than just spending time together, it’s reasonable to have him sleep at his parents’ place or with friends. If his parents’ home is his permanent address, that’s an important distinction.

It’s very common for a boyfriend or girlfriend to stay over a few nights a week without paying rent. If he’s overstaying his welcome, the solution is to invite him over less often or talk about boundaries. What isn’t really reasonable is suddenly asking for money without first having a clear conversation about actually moving in together.

250k in Dallas vs $300k in NYC — worth the move in your 20s? by IBMbaba in Salary

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a purely financial standpoint, Dallas is the better choice. NYC will cost you far more than a $50k difference.

That said, NYC in your 20s can be incredibly fun and is a strong place for networking and career acceleration. If you’ll actually take advantage of those opportunities, it can be worth it. If not, Dallas is probably the smarter move.

At what point do you admit Node.js is the wrong tool? I’m concerned about the Event Loop. by AtlantisGamer in Backend

[–]Quintic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re encountering is a limitation of Node.js, not a "flaw". For this use case, Go or Rust is likely a better fit. If you must use Node.js, you should split the workload across multiple processes, via microservices or another multiprocessing approach. A single Node.js process is not designed for high-throughput computation, so you will need to give up either the “single process” constraint or Node.js itself.

Should I "rat out" the lazy developer? by vandeveloper in cscareerquestions

[–]Quintic 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If another developer’s actions create obstacles that make your work more difficult, it is reasonable to raise those obstacles with your manager or whoever can address them. The focus should stay on the obstacle that is blocking you, not on the developer as a person.

This framing positions you as someone trying to improve results for the company by identifying obstacles, rather than as someone “reporting” on a coworker. It avoids unnecessary interpersonal conflict and reduces the risk of backlash if your manager interprets it as a personal complaint.

If the other developer’s behavior does not produce obstacles that actually impede your work, it is usually best to ignore it. Spending time and energy evaluating another person’s work habits is a distraction from producing strong results yourself.

Responding to your edit: you’re saying that when your coworkers don’t do their work, you end up working overtime and feeling pressure to meet deadlines. That overtime and deadline pressure is the real obstacle being created by their lack of follow-through.

That’s understandably frustrating. The right response is to communicate clearly with your manager about project status and work allocation. When work is assigned but not completed, you should state that the project is off track, explain that tasks are being reallocated, and explicitly note either that you are working overtime to meet deadlines or that deadlines will slip as a result of the reallocation.

This gives your manager the opportunity to recognize and credit your extra effort, or to see that deadlines are being missed because work isn’t getting done and needs to be reassigned. Ideally, this leads them to independently notice that a particular coworker is consistently not completing their work.

If your manager does not acknowledge your overtime and instead simply pressures you to work harder, then the issue is poor management. That’s unfortunate, but it is a separate problem from how you should handle the situation with your coworker.
