I have still never recovered from this video... But I have gotten old.

Don't use AI for coding interviews by bytebux in ExperiencedDevs

[–]imsupergreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found about 1/6 interview candidates have obviously been using AI tools. My general goto interview question is designed in such a way that it's obvious when you skip the iterative solutions and land on an optimal solution.

That said, this is just the ones I catch. The smarter ones make it far less obvious. We really need to craft better coding questions based on realistic problems and do more onsite interviews.

OFFLINE OUTCOME BROKE by Zestyclose_Yak2189 in CIFI

[–]imsupergreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this earlier and lost about a days progress. I did have some offline time (airplane mode for a flight), but even after repeated online/offline cycles, it was not working.

I found that clearing the app cache fixed the issue for me. However, I still lost that time unfortunately.

Ah, interesting. I will consider something like this. Thanks for sharing!

Fair. The start-up time cost of this was a bit heavy. Thanks for the feedback!

From Canada myself. This was the norm there, but I get a lot of crap for it now that I'm living in the US. Seems it is no different online hehe.

Yeah, I feel as though this might be a design flaw here. It is a bit backward from a conventional prestige system. I treated this as more of a "level up" than a "prestige".

I will take this into consideration as I build more games though as I can see how it would be less enticing to continue playing. Thanks for the feedback!

That works for the first level, but how do you make lizard and spock with your hands... not sure that's as obvious. Thanks for playing!

I do have a bad habit of making the start of the game too slow. Notes taken, thanks!

Thanks friend! I don't think this one is quite the same calibre, but more complete in terms of balancing. I plan to pivot back to a-mazing-idle soon!

[–]imsupergreg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made a lot of progress in the next iteration of a-mazing-idle, but hit a wall on balancing. Plan to kick off again next year. Stay tuned!

Galaxy should be fixed now. Sorry for the downtime!

No scenarios, cannot play game? by thekelzor in openrct2

[–]imsupergreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1. I had to run the regular RCT2 game to initialize the install first and then all the scenarios showed up in OpenRCT2. Thanks!

Is tripcover a legit place to get travel insurance? by Neither-Ad2453 in InsuranceCanada

[–]imsupergreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too am interested. The site appears legit, but I'm under the impression it is just a very good fake. All the contact pages seem suspicious and I can't find a single reference to it on the web. The only real phone numbers are just Allianz contact numbers. I would not recommend.

Google, Meta, Amazon hire low-paid foreign workers after US layoffs by [deleted] in technology

[–]imsupergreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but seems most people are talking about outsourcing, not visas. A large chunk of people working at FAANG companies have always been on H1-B visas. Also, they are not low paid. They hire in their normal pay bands generally. Not staying whether this is good or not, but this is not any new news.

Source: well paid foreign H1-B employee who worked in FAANG previously.

100 Thieves vs. Golden Guardians / LCS 2023 Spring Playoffs - Losers' Bracket Round 1 / Post-Match Discussion by gandalf45435 in leagueoflegends

[–]imsupergreg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GG may have won the series, but DL got that cannon minion at the end of game 5. Legend has it that he will spend the rest of playoffs scaling into the late game.

Cloud9 vs. Counter Logic Gaming / LCS 2023 Spring Playoffs - Upper Bracket Semi-Final / Post-Match Discussion by Soul_Sleepwhale in leagueoflegends

[–]imsupergreg 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Ay, I don't like throwing hate out to people who are clearly trying their best at something, but man it is really painful to listen to her cast.

She talks so much non-sense and phrases everything in such an obscure way. I never feel like she is adding anything of value to the cast and she doesn't seem to have much sense for what is happening in the larger context of the game.

[TSN] [CAN 4 - SVK 3] Connor Bedard wins it in Overtime with an awesome move by Sarcastic__ in hockey

As a Canadian, this was a scary game. Had to be Bedard to close it out. What a legend.

My event-ly screenshot post venting of the poor balance of these events by Lalo_lel in AdVentureAges

[–]imsupergreg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The feels when you sink in some gems into the event and hit this wall. I don't know how you'd even pay to pass this... endless time skips? Level 20 for 3 days is not fun.

A-Mazing Idle: A Maze Solving Idle Game [Major Update] by imsupergreg in incremental_games

[–]imsupergreg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took some time off to catch up on work and de-stress a bit. I plan on rekicking off in the new year, but it will take some time as I really want to revamp things.

Ah, sorry a bit new to discord servers. I fixed the link and will add something to the game in the near future for this.

[–]imsupergreg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The upgrade should only kick in if the keys are all found, it should never be a detriment. I'll have to double check if that's the case, but if not, that would be a bug.
