I’m a front-end developer. I sometimes need to solve algebra problems. I’m pretty bad at it because I , but my knowledge that a problem is solvable by math comes in handy maybe once or twice a month. It’s just that on the few occasions that there’s algebra that I can’t figure out how to solve (maybe once a year), I may ask for help from a colleague.

Examples of cases where math comes in handy:

• Pythagoras when I need to figure out the x/y components of a diagonal distance
• Width/height calculations from a variety of parameters

In summary, as long as you know what math is capable of, you probably won’t have major issues. There will pretty much always be someone around to help with the math part if necessary.

As for calculus… I forgot all about the one calculus class I’ve taken and I’ve never suffered for it.

What year is it? Locked devices have been illegal in Quebec for, like, ever.

Falcom usually doesn’t disappoint.

I do know a few devs who prefer 5 days in the office. But they’re absolutely the minority.

Personally, I try to go once a week, but I usually don’t because I dread having a day with 50% my normal productivity.

It’s just so noisy all the time in there. Open space and really high ceilings for “collaboration”…

Colon Q exclamation point? 6 keystrokes to leave? Sheesh.

That post’s gotta chill with the personal attacks, geez.

6 and 9 are huge fan favourites. I hated 6 enough to drop it, and while I did finish 9, man was it mediocre.

10, 13 and 7 are my favourites.

For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can’t connect to the network to get new ones.

Yeah, our company has been meaning to transition to them for a while. I started saying Jsdoc comments but people complained about the pollution. Then I said fine, we’ll do TypeScript one day instead.

That one day has yet to come. I don’t actually get to decide much at this company, after all. Aah, technical debt.

Has something in particular been happening lately? I feel like Ubisoft has sucked for quite a while, but their stock price was fine until relatively recently, right?

Nope, don’t need to. WebStorm can even detect nonexistent attributes for objects whose format the back-end decides, and tbh I’m not sure what sort of sorcery it uses.

I mean she’s a teacher. A very hard job with lots of unpaid work that often offers downright sad wages.

Being unable to support oneself despite a full-time job is a more and more common thing in our world.

That’s way too broad. Scripting is a pretty broad concept.

Is that a relatively recent phenomenon or has it been that way for decades?

If it’s the former, it might explain why they didn’t need to before.

They may be worried about people getting offended over screenshots.

I wouldn’t mind them if they didn’t BREAK MY REMOTE’S PLAY BUTTON.

People have tried to get me into Monster Hunter several times, with little success. There’s just a lot of work involved.

Lots of crafting and farming, and once you’re ready, the fight itself is a lot of work. It takes a long time due to large HP pools.

There are a zillion builds, and the story isn’t exactly deep enough to engage me despite the shortcomings. To me, it’s basically Elden Ring, but with the aspects I don’t like turned to 11.

I’d have expected ad providers to catch on pretty quickly that there’s cheating involved, no?

I think that’s right for a website where you accidentally clicked an ad and now it’s trying to convince you you have a virus and you need to download their virus to remove it. Or maybe for an ad pop-up where annoying you might increase the chances that the content makes it into your brain.

But for a news website i have trouble seeing the logic.

That is not what I’m suggesting. I’m not saying charging only cables shouldn’t exist. I’m saying what everything does should be clearer.
