afaik troll ult is basically equivalent to having shallow grave on you for the duration (HP can’t drop below 1) so you would take damage from the Oracle ult but it wouldn’t kill you

Love my OTGD brothers, and thanks for the well wishes.

Happy belated cake day.



So in the past two years I've basically tripled my salary. The biggest difference was moving from intern to full-time app developer, but since then I've gotten a total of ~16%, 8% of which came from a raise period when the company wide was only 2%.

Downside is I'm having to work with Oracle documaker, which is a mishmash of a bunch of concepts and languages that should never interact.
It's coded in : Fortran, C, and Java. It also uses oracle db (about 30 tables per instance, of which we have about 14-15) and websphere connections. Additionally, it has its own proprietary language called DAL (document automation language) that is a nightmarish mishmash of 90s VBA at best and just utter nonsense. Also the fun that it outputs PCL (printer command language) files . My company decided to add a whole bunch of bash scripts on top of this too (which is what oracle recommends).

I had to optimize it so the runtime was going to be only 12 hours about 8 months ago... I did so with the understanding that 25k transactions/day was the max peak load. It's now apparent that the max peak load is gonna be at least 40k/day... can't just slap another server on and call it a day because despite being called "Enterprise edition", it can only be used on one server at a time due to the DB interaction (when we tried it on two one literally sat around and did nothing, with 0% cpu usage). It's also a 32 bit application with a max of 8 threads...

So I have to optimize it more. Currently trying to figure out wtf they did this for : there are three tables : BCHS, RCPS, and BCHS_RCPS . BCHS_RCPS is basically a bridge table, I guess, in functionality, but the way they're doing it seems bizarre. No, the confusing part is keeping it all straight since they all have identical column names and super similar names... which isn't even touching on naming some other tables things like "BCHINGS" and having both TRNS.BCHS, BCHS.TRNS, and BCHINGS.TRNS sub-tables...


Anytime I try to explain it to people in the company I have to make an entirely new flowchart explaining the specific part related to them, and that's just for the non-db parts.

I fully agree that you deserve a tripling of your salary if you have to untangle that knot.

I finished the Dota anime and it's passable, but nothing particularly special stood out to me. The most exotic and unique Dota lore elements were underutilized and we got a pared down generic fantasy setting. Way too many f-bombs were dropped, like a teenager got their hands on the script and decided Davion needed to sound edgy. One character from the beginning disappears for most of the story until the very end which was bizarre. I've read they had to cut out five minutes worth of story from each episode, which would total around 40 minutes, or two more episodes, so there was a truncation to it all. Things just escalate and blow up without much build-up on the final episode without a lot of foreshadowing. Not a huge fan of the 3D moments which don't mesh well with the 2D. I'll give the second season a watch, but I'm leaning a 5 or 6 out of 10.

Liquid going home with 0 DPC points and 0 income. At least they can look outside the hotel window and get depressed, becausse they can't leave the hotel.
At home they open Liquipedia and see that Nigma, who bombed out in wildcard, have more points than them. Playing 20something official games gets you nothing.

I stand by my previous rant. This format is shit. It was clearly shit during it's inception. I have no idea how anyone could design this and think that this is in anyones interest.

So Aster's mid player is called White Album, right? How cultured making your nickname after a Beatles album I thought, very cool. Clicked on his liquipedia and it turns out he's just a coomer and White Album is a name of a japanese adult visual novel. This is why we cant have nice things.

Are you crazy? Valve parting from any of the $120 million the community gave them for a tournament that will never happen?

the interaction is inconsistent though. you can be culling bladed and will shatter to ice blast during false promise if you fall below the threshold.

but if you're troll ulted, you can be culling bladed but won't shatter to ice blast. classic dota.

I just got an AD on Twitch from ALDI GAMING.

the website is less than barebone but nonetheless - there's a 4 men strong ALDI "stream-team"

the ad is something else as well lmao

We have Aldi in Poland but I've heard stories that it's (or used to be) a really shitty place to work in.

I did an energy audit for a big supermarket chain (a discounter one) and boy these working conditions weren't pretty.
Not Amazon level but still not nice. Apart from the engineers and management as well as leading personell in the logistic centres it's really hard work.


dota reated: I havent seen Vlad's picked up in a while. Even with high base dmg carries.
Any reason? Other items just better?
I looked at the playoff and found 3 games where 1 team had a vlad's - Secret, Neon, Ehome

not to mention there are some really strange interactions with spells that trigger when you take certain amounts of damage like Abaddon ult and I believe Aeon Disk where that item used to have a problem where if you took more damage than you had hp it wouldn't trigger and you'd just die lol

I'm pretty sure Abaddon ult still works like that but I haven't seen that happen in years so I don't know anymore. Dota mechanics lmao
