WRONG
rating = str(4.5)
Okay thats allowed
"So you know how C is procedural, Haskell is functional, and Java is object-oriented? You may ask: 'what about Python?'
Well, Python is bullshit-oriented."
My friend, teaching me Python.
i love auditing coding classes online (edx my beloved)
cant do graded assignments BUT i get all the notes and videos which gives me some free codes to practice also most assignments have a connected video
how do y'all finish programming projects 😭😭😭
this is like the 5th time i've tried to make an incremental game help
Me, trying to learn a new skill at 22: Brain PLEASE you know we want to be able to do this, we'd be so much happier with this ability please we've already wasted our teenage years
My Brain, the moment I start doing said activity: holy shit this is literally the worst experience ever, I'd rather we were ill right now. Abort abort! MAKE IT STOP! Pain receptors, go! Nervous system RED ALERT! Bowel movements? Give him stress-induced diarrhea
as a young afab queer person going into computer/data science, it makes me so sad that the face of the tech industry is a largely misogynistic homophobic transphobic trump-suck-up unethical billionaire bro club like musk, bezos, and zuckerberg. like, computers and the internet have limitless potential, but we’re using it for this????
i cannot wait until all these dipshits get what’s coming to them so a new generation of leaders can rise up and make tech kind.
Hey! Saw your post about community college. Just wondering, what are you studying? Thanks!
I was actually there to get my GED since I had to drop out of high school for a plethora of reasons. (Covid era, Mental health stuff, etc.) I did very well lol and got credit for Math. I was one point off from a Science credit too.
Though I do plan on going to a community college soon for computer science. There’s one near me that has a game dev course type thing i’m looking into right now, but even if I just end up in programming I think I’d be good.
guys am. am I winning at coding yet .
Happy Pi Day!!
Today I've got an obligation to talk about John Carmack's work on 1993's Doom! The Doom game engine utilizes pi to generate its sine, cosine, and tangent lookup tables. It's done this way because generating all those numbers at the start and then keeping them in RAM was more efficient than trying to generate those numbers on the fly, and for what id Software were trying to do at the time, that efficiency was a must. Where things get interesting is that Doom's version of pi is actually a bit off. Instead of the correct 10-digit version of 3.141592654, John Carmack misremembered it as 3.141592657, and so that ended up being the version of pi that Doom uses. Considering it's only wrong at the tenth digit, fixing it results in a change that is pretty much imperceptible, although I think it's a fact that's still worth sharing. Maybe it's a bit silly, but it gives me hope knowing the incorrect version made it into the final game. It exists as a reminder that for how revered the team members of id Software are, it's people who made Doom. And those people are prone to mistakes just like you and I are. But that didn't stop them from making something incredible, and I have no intention of diminishing their accomplishments. If anything, I hope we remember this mistake as a means to bolster our confidence and to have faith in the endeavors we pursue. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
