How Good at Math Does a Programmer Need to Be?
  • 90% of programming I have seen after a decade plus of doing it full time is minor changes being made to code that was already made by someone. Likely not documented. Likely already changed in a dozen little ways. Math isn't the problem. Understanding what the guy who wrote it is often the problem.

    Oh and you can't ask them because they likely don't work here anymore.

    Being a programmer is more like being a detective than anything else unless you work for a small company.

  • Horsepower required for 10 Gbit router?
  • I am saddened to see that this thread had no mention of how many horses it takes to run a router. What do y'all think? Would one be enough? It would need to work in shifts to keep up time at 100%. Maybe 3 to be safe?

  • Ukranian soldiers storm a Russian-occupied building and plant explosives to destroy it.
  • I kind of like to think that anyone inside thought that they drove off the crew attacking their position. Like "Ha, they are leaving, we did it. Great job everyone.
    ... Wait what's that beeping sound? Do you guys here ticking?"

  • Linux market share on the rise, 4.55%
  • I finally made the switch recently. Windows kept getting worse, and worse, and worse. Every day I felt like I had to fight it more to just do anything. I've been mainly a Windows user my entire life and I just couldn't stand to use it any more.

    I couldn't be happier. Every game I play on steam just works. I'm installing mods and updating config files deep in the magical proton depths and it just works. A clean install of the operating system is actually a clean place to start. I'm telling everyone I know.

  • I just got kicked right before extraction
  • I got kicked one time completely at random. I was confused more than anything. Like, what? I thought about it and decided I had a simple solution. I just host every game I play. I know I love Democracy. If it's my finger on the button I know we are in good hands.

  • It's been so long
  • It's the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it's pure chaos.

  • What was your kid's first word?
  • I honestly am not sure. She was talking so much from such a young age. It was all nonsense, complete babble, but sometimes she would say something and I had to stop and think about it. Did she say a word? Is this just a coincidence? Does she understand it? The words just faded in as the nonsense faded out. It seemed like a progression, not an event.

  • Belching
  • I would reject this pull request. Why is the indenting all over the place? Why is your keyword capitalisation all over the place? WHY YELLOW?!

    Edit: the more I look at this the more it pisses me off. Wtf is going on with your kerning? Just random number and placement of spaces. Also, why is the table name in caps? Who does that? Select * is lazy. Do you really need every field about a girl? Really? Worst of all, not a limited request. I sware this is just the kind of thing that would return 30 million rows and brick the database for twenty seconds.

  • Clonk rule
    ruleless
  • I wish I could show this comment to people who built a multi million dollar project for the government using just these kinds of tools. But maybe you can only get away with that kind of thing in government contracting work lol
