Hey, next time you need someone with some scripting, modding and/or management experience for an entry/junior-level position, and feel like it's time to do the extra work needed to hire from outside the EU and figure out work visas, I'm all open. Turns out there's a Swedish consulate just twenty minute's drive away from here.

We don't do betas as PR stunts and our betas are probably much closer to the actual development than what you are used to if you've been in a beta for any other company before. But if you want to get early access for Stellaris there's a really simple solution.

Get hired by Paradox.

You mean the Cave Paintings you can see on museums? Ugh not that interesting, I mean I get the point that it proves some kind of cognitional ability of the painters but not that impressive.
If you want something actually interesting and that is the path of the future its either D(if the devs stopped being paranoid) or Ruby :getin:

Even in that very thread the weirdo neonazi types on the Paradox Forums came out to play:

Generally speaking, it is genetic homogeneity, not genetic diversity, that increases attractiveness as the former gives a higher chance of anatomical proportionality and symmetry. This can be seen thought the animal kingdom, where cross-breeds are considered uglier than pure-breeds.

quote:

I know what inbreeding is mate, and that's not what we are talking about. Actually, there has been some recent research finding that mating with a third cousin gives the highest genetic fitness.

quote:

Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. Pure breeds are stronger, healthier and more fit than cross breeds in any animal species. Ask any farmer or dog breeder. Too much genetic divergenc between the parents and you will not even end up with a specimen that can reproduce. There are a few exceptions to this, known as hybrid vigors, but generally, genetic diversity leads to outbreeding depression.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outbreeding_depression

Give me one example of a mixed race human population that is comparatively stronger, healthier and more fit than other human populations and can attribute this fact to being mixed race.

I have, it was a top down dungeon crawler/shooter with destructible environment, PLS shading and dynamic lighting/shadowing on my free time as a hobby project.

Sure you can't make Europe Universalis in it but if you are able to see past the "this is what everyone says" on the Internet it's not that much of an issue as long you are not an idiot. Every language have their quirks, the C style ones have the most, you just need to learn how to work with them. For instance an optimization I do in Ruby is to instead process data I use metaprogramming to give me O(1) to data I want.

But no you're not gonna get s job at Paradox for knowing Ruby, C#, Java, how to do poo poo post on internet, it's C++ or nothing.

BTW paradox has posted a programming challenge to code a pathfinder as your one-item job application: https://paradox.kattis.com/problems/paradoxpath

I got about halfway through reading the requirements before my brain just peace'd out. I get what it's supposed to do, and I could probably design a horribly unoptimized way to actually do it, but it has to be done in a certain way and yeah no, I'm a historian not a mechanic.

Scandinavia is basically Stockholm and Iceland is part of the Nordic group, so by association I'm technically in Stockholm and should thus qualify.

No but seriously I live in loving Iceland, I smell like fish, have nothing to do in my spare time and would beta test the poo poo out of Stellaris :v:
