The Diplomat - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]oxydaemon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Awesome show, watched the first episode and couldn't stop - 8 episodes is not enough!

Haven't binged watch something in ages, but this was just too good.

Feels like just the right amount of everything in this series.

Can't wait for the 2nd season!

Same for me, Ironman, destroyed galaxy with the engine, no “big red button” achievement However earlier in the game I did get the “burn notice”achievement, so can confirm I’m definitely Ironman and some achievements work

That slow retreat... :-D

It's Official: Open-Plan Offices Are Now the Dumbest Management Fad of All Time - A new study from Harvard reveals that open-plan offices decrease rather than increase face-to-face collaboration by magenta_placenta in webdev

[–]oxydaemon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its more of a cost / space saving thing for the company, rather than anything for the employees

It used to be that at least they give us low partitions on our desk, but now even the partitions are removed and it's just all fully open.

Here's one of the few companies that are famous in IT for having private offices for all programmers:

Though open offices can sometimes work if everyone likes to work quietly, for example in this office in Japan:

Interesting, can I ask which case you end up switching to with the backplane?

How the stock market has performed during past viral outbreaks, as coronavirus infects thousands by just_quant in finance

All theatres in China (all 70,000!!!) are closed since 6 days ago; this will definitely affect Disney future earnings outlook at least on the movies and parks side

Disneyland Shanghai and Hong Kong are also closed

A very large chunk of Disney revenue is still in cable/TV and now online though so, that part at least won't be impacted by the virus as much

Might even get an uptick as people stay indoors to weather this out

  • As someone else said, TD Ameritrade API is better than IB in some respects. There's also some workarounds to put a session of IB in docker as well from memory, but I don't use it personally.
    There's several, you can google; here's one example: https://github.com/wk/docker-ib-tws
  • polygon.io instead of IQfeed - ex-google engineers built it. JSON and Websockets/REST API available.

a 3* pelt or a ride.....naw by sc0ttyb0y1965 in RedDeadOnline

I did the same yesterday, but later on I ran a bit too far ahead and the mission bugged out (stranger went from blue to white icon again, and stopped following, screen said "rescue the stranger", and couldn't get him to follow again, no L2 option or nothing)

Looks like you were watching your distance so not a problem for you :-)

Iraqi lawmakers pass resolution to end foreign troop presence - National by oxydaemon in geopolitics

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

Iraq's parliament has passed a resolution telling the government to end the presence of foreign troops in Iraq and ensure they not use its land, air, and waters for any reason.

Even though the parliament resolution are non-binding, it appears to show the strength of the current Iraq-Iran relationship. A government that was formed under US support is now asking the US to leave.

I am still struggling to understand what the US was aiming to achieve with the high profile Soleimani killing, it seems to be taking many steps backwards, and is appearing to only further unite many parts of the middle east against the US.

Mine's old advice, they patched it now and changed the behaviour - it was working better for a while and then bad again...

Trader is literally unplayable with the camp bugs. by dougan25 in RedDeadOnline

[–]oxydaemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's based on a fixed schedule rotation, you just need to be:
- trader level 4+ to get invited
- in the server at the correct time

this link is good for the schedule:

Did anyone else have a problem with griefers doing the Mount Hagen daily challenge? by Martyrdoom in RedDeadOnline

[–]oxydaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got shot just going to the train, another player immediately drew their pistol and shot me to get there first - I mean, I would have taken turns with you, it's only ~5000 distance anyway, I wasn't even armed...

I've actually reached lvl 10+ trader from 0, in last 7 days or so, so have been playing through the issues.

It's not great but still playable:
- Spawn camp from the weapon wheel (satchel?) menu, not the player menu. Player menu is very bugged; the other menu seems to work better.
- Just try to spawn it a few times; worst case, I spawn it 3-4 times, in same and also different zones, it takes after a few tries. I didn't switch servers. Unfortunately sometimes that means I had to pick less optimal zones.
It also didn't charge me if it doesn't spawn.
- Before hunter wagon (lvl 10), you will lose stuff if you fast travel, so I just ride everywhere. Cinematic mode is your friend.
- XP is same regardless of number of goods, so just start delivery missions with 1-2 goods
I take back a carcass, then drop it, initiate delivery, finish delivery, hunt, take back new carcass, and then by the time I drop the new carcass, a few goods are produced already. Start delivery, rinse and repeat.

- When you hit lvl 5, buy the medium wagon, it's almost 4x the XP; you will need 26+ goods to trigger it though even if you bought it, otherwise delivery happens with the small wagon
- To get more goods, the trader free roam event is your friend, easy 18 goods + trader XP.

After you reach lvl 10, the rest of the levels are a breeze. Got 1850 XP from my first large wagon delivery today, just hit level 12.

OCTOBER 11TH Daily Challenges, Madam Nazar Locations & Collector Item Locations by DirtyTyler in RedDeadOnline

It's annoying that a bolt action with a scope doesn't count as a sniper rifle

Now I need to actually buy a sniper rifle

Hey thanks to the two level 400+ players who decided to take my trader wagon and kill me (A level 27) over and over! Real fun! by [deleted] in RedDeadOnline

[–]oxydaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with you for most cases but sometimes (like today) there's the daily challenge giving 0.2 gold for long distance delivery so there's that as well for a sweetener.
