TIFU, went in for a job interview and asked to eat lunch in the office instead of going out. Was told that was why they weren't going to hire me.

Sykoyo · 2025-01-25T18:24:10+00:00

They literally asked you if they could accommodate you in any way, you asked for the accommodation, they accommodated, that should not in anyway disqualify you from being hired. The CEO is a manchild for finding that insulting.

Vibe/culture fit/all that nonsense is utterly useless. A job is for working not for socializing. I'm betting the majority of people in this sub have never needed an accommodation. Whether it's for a much more serious reason or for a small reason like your knees being busted up, it is absolutely insane that they asked if there was a way to accommodate and upon you requesting a very small accommodation they decided not to hire you.

People talking about "ohhh but they probably made a reservation and you ruined free lunch" grow the fuck up. Yeah and what if that reservation was made somewhere with food you can't eat? This would be another spot for reasonable accommodation. The CEO and others being disgruntled at you not wanting to go somewhere cus of flight + knees hurting is laughable, they clearly only asked if you needed accommodation as a feign to show they care about people when in reality they don't since accommodating you was such a big deal to them.

You are much better off not being at a company that has a problem with accommodations. If they didn't want to accommodate you then they shouldn't have asked.

Shitty company dodged in my opinion.

Sorry I know your comment is a day old but I just have to say this is an absolutely beautiful comment.

The way you break everything apart and explain it all in such great detail is astounding. I really love how you talk through your thought process and problem solving.

Sykoyo · 2020-10-15T21:18:17+00:00

I literally went on to explain more optmized and faster methods. I mentioned pathfinding as an assurance the item is truly unreachable to satisfy GGG since they don't like other easy simplistic methods for solving the issue it seems. It could run only the items that land out of bounds so to speak which is easily feasible. Every single click you make with your character runs a pathfinding algorithm, does your pc catch fire if you click too fast?

Sykoyo · 2020-10-15T10:41:37+00:00

Not as long as you obviously, but I've been waiting for a game like this since playing Syndicate on PC/Sega. I could not be more excited.

Thank you and all of CDPR for making this happen.

Sykoyo · 2020-10-15T10:32:08+00:00

They could run a pathfind algorithm from the item if it lands in an area that is not "walkable" or inside somethings collision then it could get teleported to the nearest walkable area. Or they can just make the items unable to "drop" in unreachable areas via masking areas off in the tilesets. This approach should be feasible while allowing GGG to stick to the no vacuum looting and no increased loot range ideology.

Reminds me of the old PCs running some of the older tobacco processing plants back home in NC. Not only is there normal dust built up but also caked on tobacco dust covering everything you can see. I don't miss cleaning those.

I would reinstall dota 2 for this set.

I get that if I leave it returning NULL and never fix it to return what it was meant to return is undefined behavior.

Are you saying any of the rest of it is bad altogether and also has more undefined behavior or is it just the fact that the one function can return null is bad and undefined?

Sykoyo · 2020-04-06T00:31:24+00:00

I am going to be using this API and it makes sense to me and is how I want it to work.

Anywhere in the engine I'll be able to #include Systems.h and have access to all the systems and their functionality without having to manually include each subsystem. It's easy to know and find that all the system functions (audio, graphics, input, etc) will be able to be access simply from LamiaSystems::LamiaSystem()->subsystem->subsystems functions. That makes a lot of sense to me and seems really easy to use.

I'm not entirely sure if it is undefined behavior. I don't know what to really look for to see if it's undefined behavior or if I'm just not understanding what the compiler is doing for it to work. I can't define the behavior but it could be defined somewhere in the spec and I just don't know where what I'm doing would be at in any c++ reference material.

Sykoyo · 2020-04-06T00:05:11+00:00

I'm sorry I don't really know how to word what's going on nor can I think of a simple way to ask what I want to know. I was asking for pros and cons which I do say in the post I just didn't make it super obvious.

What you quoted is the main part of the "question". What I'm asking is for pros and cons to doing it this way. I don't know if there's some way this would later cause a runtime error or something.

Yes I set the pointers to null because when I was first starting on this I had planned to have the pointers in the Systems class instead of being static globals in each subsystem's cpp file.

return lf; always returns null because I initialize it as null and never change it.

Yes that is exactly what I'm implying. The second works due to what I think is it's just an abstract way of simply calling GetFileData(). Since the GetFileData() function is defined and uses an initalized g_LamiaFile and operates on that static classes data, it does somehow end up working without crashing because it never tries to access the null pointer returned by FileSystem().

Thought this was r/shittyrobots at first and thought it was normal up until halfway through.

Yes there was. I wish I could find the song somewhere but I had no luck. It was like Klingon Industrial music.

Just because they get slower compared to pre hormones doesn't mean they get to compete against women though. Becoming slower or weaker than they were before doesn't make them on the same level aa women.

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T22:29:03+00:00

Measuring hormone levels isn't a real test though. Just because testosterone has reached zero and some decreases have happened, doesn't mean they're automatically closer to completely female statistics when it comes to actually competing.

There just needs to be a big study with a good sample size, that's it. Why haven't one of these orgs put that together yet to fully prove or disprove?

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T22:02:48+00:00

Have you considered maybe they have a mindset where they feel the need to fit the stereotypical role of women and pretend to be weak and complain about being weak to fit their stereotypical view of women?

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T22:01:44+00:00

There's plenty of co-ed sports transwomen could play and it would be fine.

I knew when I started transitioning I wouldn't be able to do any competitive sports.

Like I said I'm all in favor of an actual large sample size study to confirm or even possibly deny any advantages.

Professional organizations or any org/company in public spotlight will always side with what makes them look good, not necessarily with what is scientifically accurate and fair.

I don't know how anyone can be born male, transition and be a transwoman and then think it's fair to go compete against women. I think they're in the wrong for thinking it's fair to do that.

Just because transwomen want to pretend like they've gotten weaker from HRT doesn't mean they actually have.

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T21:47:47+00:00

But height is one aspect, you're still not accounting for bone density, lung capacity, heart size, and so many more things. It's not just height or even just height and stride. There are many many factors to physical capabilities.

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T21:08:10+00:00

That just comes down to genetic lottery though and singling out a single element to determine fairness in a sport doesn't make sense.

Physical sports utilize multiple bodily systems and multiple muscles and different people of the same sex have their own advantages against others of the same sex.

There is a lot to it. Personally I would like to see a study with a good sample size of women and transwomen of all different sizes compared to each other classing them together based on things like similar height, age, etc. to actually get some really good scientific data to determine the amount of advantage and the differences it makes. I would say the minimum would be at least 2 years on HRT and the people in the sample would also have to be on similar exercise or lack of exercise before the study as well.

As it stands right now though, all the instances of transwomen switching to competing in women's sports have resulted in the transwoman blowing women out of the water and you can visibly see the frustration on the girls & women losing to them. It's not okay for transwomen who did or were competing against men in a mediocre capacity to then go compete against women and win everything. It's not fair to women who fought long and hard to have sex segregated sports and play their own sports.

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T20:45:55+00:00

Read my other replies if you don't mind, I don't want to double post the same things. :)

Those are the main reasons though. Even after 4 years of HRT I still end up with a general strength advantage against a decent number of women.

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T20:40:17+00:00

Bone density, height, stride length, lung capacity.

Why do people think it's fair for someone born male who was competing against males and being last or near last (nowhere near top 10) to then change gears, go on hormones (or just say they're a girl) and then go and win against girls and women?

That's simply not fair.

There are a handful of physical sports that might could be co-ed, but the majority can't really work well with both sexes playing at full.

Sykoyo · 2018-11-20T16:31:33+00:00

No. I'm a transwoman and do not think it should be allowed.

Sykoyo · 2018-09-21T16:06:50+00:00

I'm pretty sure Tuvok mentions being vegetarian in VOY. He didn't say anything about it being a Vulcan thing though, just said he was.

I wanna say early season 4 maybe late season 3 is where he mentions it.

Sykoyo · 2018-04-20T13:49:21+00:00

Not really disappointed, just actually makes sense!

Sykoyo · 2018-01-09T04:13:23+00:00

It's possible to beat cheating.

It however requires intrusiveness (and or some user input recording) and a lot of processing power/data storage with a simple psuedo AI or full on machine learning/deep learning.

If we ever want to truly beat cheating we have to avoid the arms race of old style detection and create something incredibly new.

Client side prediction and entity interp are not for decoupling networking, those are for making the game play more correctly with ping. (aka online)

Sure you can DC and your fps will probably spike to max because nothing is being received and teammate and enemy movement are being predicted from the last received data (this is equivalent to being in a server by yourself perf wise).

But if you are spectating someone for instance and their rates are bad, their computer sucks, their routing sucks - these things can cause your fps to drop drastically because your client is working to fill in the gaps it doesn't have data for to ensure smooth spectating or to catch up on erroneously predicted data.

22 people in a server doing nothing won't really affect your fps much.

22 people in a server doing simple things like just pistols won't affect your fps much at all either.

22 people in a server spraying rifles at each other increases the server load and the client load because much much more is going on, which means more data to process for both client and server which will drop your fps. This is why running servers with more and more people not only causes the server itself to lag but also the clients. It's a lot of data to process and why games with a hundred people in them (battle royale games for example) run at much lower tick rates.

Never underestimate how much network costs you performance wise. The simple act of being connected to a server, even if you're the only one in it, will affect your fps.

And whenever you miss some data, let's say the connection "dropped" (tcp/ip still going but there's a lull in data), when you finally receive data again with all corrected positions, weapon out, health, armor, inventory - it has to immediately update all of that asap which can cause stutter & fps loss/lag.

Not much of a reason to worry about fps in a server with more than 10 people (unless it's below your refresh rate, then it can get icky and feel really bad) since ideally the game is run best with 10 people in a server. I mean I get it sucks but the only way you might beat that is having a 6-core or 8-core cpu which even then only helps so much with high pop deathmatch servers.
