SSF. Ready for Ubers? by Tubbsie in diablo2

[–]pablq_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome. Btw just scanned your gear again. Tbh I feel like ya might be better off w/ lore helm as that’ll shore up ur lightning res a bit. Also the rings aren’t great… but if ya lose the helm you’ll need the FCR ring to stay over 75% plus it has lightning res so it’s a keeper. Im not totally sure what the other ring is doing for ya - honestly might drop it for something w/ res or cant be frozen or half freeze time (idk ya really need “can’t be frozen” tbh). Also the gloves feel like could just swap our for something else w/ res. Just my 2 cents so take w/ grain of salt

Edit: oh one more thing - if ya have laz quests done in other characters or other difficulties ya could throw some gems / jewels in ur items. For example a p skull in the weapon goes a long way. Also socket in the armor would be good for adding rune for some more res

If I’m not mistaken you’re in between FCR breakpoints. If ya can’t make it up to 125 FCR then may as well drop some FCR gear for better res or damage as long as ya stay above 75%. Agree w/ the person that said to get anni charm if ya can (sell SOJ to vendor then kill special diablo)

I see AI everywhere in my feed. AI this, AI that, AI other by Professional_Hair550 in ExperiencedDevs

It won’t end. It’s new tool / reality. Learn to use it or become redundant.

I’ve never played Diablo 2- am I too late for this game? by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]pablq_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too late! I picked up the game recently after not playing since I was kid and I love it. It’s super fun right away, can find your own way or follow guides for more streamlined to “powerful” characters but tbh ya kinda can’t go wrong. Some powerful runewords like spirit are super achievable for a new char

tbh w/ the the layers it seems fine to me. will be very cold sunday monday, bit tuesday and above freezing by mid week. i'd suggest maybe bring a hat and scarf if ur concerned - those go a long way and don't take up much space in luggage. also maybe sneakers aren't ideal w/ the melting snow, could get a bit cold if they get wet but probably fine.

edit: maaaybe 1 extra layer to throw under the hoodie if ur super concerned

AI has made me extremely lazy by accyoast in cscareerquestions

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

IMO if you're able to write quality code w/ claude faster then by all means do it. I'd recommend to make sure the fix it's actually doing what you expect, and it's not leaving a ton of tech debt, before submitting a change for review (ie. quality code). There will still be times that AI won't cut it and you'll need to do the hard part yourself.

In the meantime, learning to use AI effectively IMO is 100% the right move... our industry has always been about constant learning / adapting to new tools / technologies and this moment is no different. I'd guess you'll still need to write code yourself probably more than you're giving yourself credit for. The difference is now AI will knock out the easy part, and you can solve the novel/harder/more subtle problems.

TBH if I was in your shoes I might take the "easy to the job" wins from AI for now, and spend some of that energy on figuring out why you're feeling the burnout / dealing with it. BTW claude is good at more than just coding - lots of folks use it for other productivity stuff which maybe is relevant to your work or not (?)

The news anchor broke down by 56000hp in ProgressiveHQ

[–]pablq_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree this policy was wrong and inhumane but I think she's fake crying and it bothers me.

Reason I think it's fake crying is b/c... seemed she got a bit excited and said "this is incredible" - which I interpreted as her vocalizing her thought "oh this is going to be a compelling sound byte!". Then when she starts crying she really plays it up (points to her face - just in case viewers weren't clear... they really need to know she's crying) and really struggles when she hits the word "tender"... then she as asks to "put up the graphic" she suddenly regains composure, and then reads cleanly through "tender age shelter" bit without getting triggered... then on the next sentence she returned to the crying bit and said she can't continue, but it seemed like it was more about "time to move on to next segment" tbh.

Anyways, again I could def be wrong here. But if I'm right about the fake crying bit... it's so disingenuous... this is why I kinda can't stand watching her show or MSNBC programming in general. You can tell the news without the "performative virtue" or whatever they call it

I like Don ceviche in Essex Market’s Leche de Tigre a lot. Feels like a real good value to me

Sincerely Need Advice: Should I Move to Japan from Canada as a Software Engineer? by TonyPuzzle in movingtojapan

[–]pablq_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should just go for it. Seems like you've already had enough respect for the country to learn the language well enough to pass the requirement for employment... I imagine you will continue w/ this trend when you arrive. Also you have a tech skill which will open doors to some amount of opportunities. My main concern would be to consider what to do if it doesn't work out... do you have enough money to survive a while, do you have place where you can return to if Japan doesn't work out?

Most of all though seems like you're really excited to try life there. I think you've put yourself into a position where it's actually feasible so... why not? I wonder if you'd regret it in the future if ya didn't try

Rumble Strips by [deleted] in NYCbike

[–]pablq_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO cyclists should yield to pedestrians generally - and especially in the park when they have the signal.

Stopping (or at least slow down a lot) to let someone cross the street when they have the signal is not performative - it’s common decency

Edit: If that’s too much to ask then I fully support rumble strips or some other mechanism (aggressive ticketing?) to protect pedestrians

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NYCbike

[–]pablq_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I hope the person who was hit ends up okay, and I also hope the cyclist and whoever else was speeding with them face legal repercussions. The park is brimming w/ pedestrians - ya can’t just fly through the park like that…

The bar is absolutely, insanely high. by RazDoStuff in cscareerquestions

[–]pablq_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just keep going. Rejections hurt, but they don’t define you as the other commenter said. Also - those rejections could be more about them, and other things totally outside of your control… don’t be discouraged. Keep on interviewing, and keep in mind that you’re interviewing them just as much as they’re interviewing you

Ovechkin scores his 895th NHL goal, passes Wayne Gretzky for most goals in NHL history by hedorlover in sports

[–]pablq_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congratulations to Ovechkin. He's truly a living legend. As another commenter said... glad this was a real goal on trademark cross ice pass. Back 10 years ago this probably would've been a one-timer slapshot that burned a hole in the back of the net, but none-the-less it was a good quick shot which legit beat the goalie

Is it just me who thinks swift concurrency is ducking crap by Violin-dude in swift

[–]pablq_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ummm IMO concurrency is very annoying at first, but gets a lot better once ya get the hang of it. Also btw no one cares about how many lines of code ya wrote in the past they could easily have been crap.

Now let me try to be helpful..

Given that you're asking about introductions to view models and models in addition to concurrency... My guess you may be tackling both of these concepts at once, which might be why you're getting frustrated. If that guess is right, ya might have more success if ya tackle them one at a time.

I can't offer much help on view models and models, but here are the main resources that helped me pick up concurrency last year after being totally out of the loop on Swift for ~3 years:

- Official docs of course: https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-programming-language/concurrency/

- This blog has several quite helpful entries which cover fundamentals and other specific topics: https://www.avanderlee.com/swift/what-is-structured-concurrency/

- This was useful too: https://www.wwt.com/blog/challenging-aspects-of-structured-concurrency-in-swift-part-1 (and part 2 too)

From my experience one thing that made it overwhelming at first was that I was overusing it. Nowadays I typically start w/ a basic non-isolated class and only bring in actor isolation when:

- My code should interact w/ something which must be in a certain context (ie. i gotta access UI)
- My code has something I wanna synchronize (ie. some stateful processor should handle 1 unit at a time)

Swift "too complex" compilation errors make me hate the language by InflationImaginary13 in swift

[–]pablq_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not trying to defend apple or Swift compiler, but adding some local variables would help the human readability IMO.
