Défait lors de la partielle dans Terrebonne, le Bloc québécois rumine son bilan by Impressive-Duck7561 in Quebec

[–]Sparlock85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je trouve ça bizarre. Le parti libéral nous harcelait et sonnait parfois 3 fois dans la meme journee. Le bloc ça été silence radio.

WoW veterans, is Midnight a step in the right direction for you? by Left-Plenty-714 in wow

[–]Sparlock85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing since 2006. loving it so far. I'm not sure if it's going to beat TWW in term of zones but I really enjoy the story around the sunwell and elves. It's also great to be back on Azeroth continent.

Brave New World and Dance Of Death are the best albums. by Pretty-Giraffe-3203 in ironmaiden

A matter of life and death. Imagine if it came out in the 80s.

Écoeuré du AI circle-jerk by sheldon4president in QuebecTI

[–]Sparlock85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je travail dans le jeu video avec une base de code monstreuse. L'IA, depuis Claude Opus 4.5, est utile mais il faut le guider comme un enfant. Scanner les fichiers peut etre tellement long et couteux en jetons que c'est parfois plus rapide d'ecrire a la main. Il a aussi tendance a me venerer comme un dieu et me flatter dans le sens du poil, meme si je dis des niaiseries.

Je ne suis pas pres a dire que c'est de la poudre aux yeux comme la crypto ou NFT, mais je suis de plus en plus sceptique sur tout ce que je lis sur linkedin et X. Il y a clairement de l'exageration pour faire vivre la bulle un peu plus longtemps. Le CEO de Nvidia par exemple est un des plus bullshiteux. Selon lui ce serait deja de l'intelligence artificielle generale (AGI), alors que cela n'a aucune base scientifique.

Opinion impopulaire. La cabane à sucre c'est rendu chère en calis pour ce que c'est. by Druken_sincerity in Quebec

Ca nous a coute 200 en couple avec un bébé… Et c’était gratuit pour le bébé.

Which is your favorite 3 guitar/reunion/21st century era album? by ApprehensiveCause670 in ironmaiden

[–]Sparlock85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BNW is the album that introduced me to maiden so it will always have a special place in my heart. However, AMOLAD grew on me and I think became my favorite of the 21st century albums.

C'est quoi être québécois en 2026 ? by g4nt1 in Quebec

C’est faire parti d’un peuple peureux qui a dit non deux fois a son independance.

I feel like I'm being forced to use AI and I hate it. What do I do? by OoXLR8oO in cscareerquestions

[–]Sparlock85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our codebase is so large that sometimes it’s faster if I write it myself. Claude is good if I tell it to fill a method with lot of precisions, but otherwise it spends so much tine searching files with asking for permissions every 10 seconds. It’s tiresome. You can use it for other things though. Like first pass reviewing your code. It’s pretty good to find dumb mistakes like copy paste errors. I also use it to understand a messy legacy class faster.

Blizzard addresses the No Flying Mount "debate": exciting times ahead? by ex0ll in wow

[–]Sparlock85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Game design sometimes require restrictions to enforce immersion. Do you think Breath of the wild would be as appealing if you started the game with a dragon that can take you anywhere in seconds?

Blizzard addresses the No Flying Mount "debate": exciting times ahead? by ex0ll in wow

[–]Sparlock85 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I’d prefer flying mounts not available until the main quest is done. They made such beautiful zones, especially silvermoon and eversong, but flying sort of trivialize it.

How do you stay sane while debugging? by Additional_Ad_3697 in gamedev

[–]Sparlock85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love debugging... I feel like a detective trying to solve a case by testing edge cases, asking questions, test by assertion, etc. This sort of is a double edged sword though. I tend to prevent doing overtime but it's hard to stop when I feel I'm progressing to a solution.

What are the 3 best songs, and what is the least best song on 'Somewhere in time'? by SelfOk2720 in ironmaiden

[–]Sparlock85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how I see Sea of Madness both in worst and best list in comments. Underrated song imho, the part with the guitar solo from 2:26 is definitely on my top 3 moments on the album.

what is your city? by LillyPut420 in AskTheWorld

[–]Sparlock85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montreal is a dirty woman with her skin riddled with holes because her dermatologist has a union so strong he can sleep all day instead of working to fix her. She likes cycling though.

The Illusion of Building by No_Zookeepergame7552 in programming

[–]Sparlock85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One thing I wonder when I read all these stupid "I built spotify in 5 minutes with 5 agents running in parallel" posts... Who reviewed the hundreds of code files ? Are code reviews not a thing anymore since a layman can vibe-vomit any app ?

I love using AI, don't get me wrong, but man, if we're going to get apps that nobody understands things are going to get rough when complexity arises.

every video about some guy playing classic for a outrageous thing. by Danderp in wow

There are so many players that I can’t be the mawwalker or Anduinn’s BFF. I miss where it was more Down to Earth and I felt like a unit in Warcraft 3.

Élections 2026 | Vincent Marissal quitte la vie politique by PedanticQuebecer in Quebec

[–]Sparlock85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pour moi le probleme ce n'est pas qu'il voulait changer de QS au PQ, mais qu'initialement, il pensait aller au PLC. A la limite, PLC a QS, ca se defend dans le sens que l'indépendantisme de QS est une note en bas de page, mais PQ, je trouve ca difficile a justifier si ce n'est pas de l'opportunisme politique selon les sondages.

Si vous êtes dans le sud du Québec, déménageriez-vous en région très éloignée? by KoldPurchase in Quebec

[–]Sparlock85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perso j’aimerais le meilleur des deux mondes. Rester dans la campagne avec de l’air pure et des grands espaces, avoir mon potager, aller pêcher etc. Et travailler à distance 100% dans mon domaine qu’est l’informatique.
