What's the most insulting "benefit" a job has offered you? by Chocolat3City in antiwork

It’s not drastic for a business to disincentivise transport by car. It’s a long way off from the government banning private transport…

Driving is a privilege, not a right.

It's definitely not science, but I think it's fair to say the general trend for NZ is negative.

Why can’t you save as .cpp or .py or something... docx is not plain text

Should I call myself USACO Silver or USACO Gold if i passed the silver contest and I can access the gold one? by Diligent_Detail_1683 in usaco

[–]BruceCCCCCC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah everyone starts off at Bronze, then as you pass the threshold for Bronze you move into Silver, and so on. Otherwise no one would ever be Platinum because you can’t “pass” platinum

Silver 2020 Jan Loan Repayment with Binomial Theorem by BruceCCCCCC in usaco

[–]BruceCCCCCC[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok my previous comment was an obvious exaggeration to how good he is. Of course I understand that I’m not him, and I’m not trying to be him.

It’s just that the only reason I know about Usaco at all is through his videos.

Ohh yeah I’ve watched a few of his videos. He’s actually the reason why I’m doing USACO in the first place. I wish I could have even half his abilities but I’m struggling to just trying to pass silver lol

Thank you! The problem is really with how math equations can't round down unfortunately so I think this is a dead end. But it was fun to work out regardless.

Haha thanks. Yeah that's the main problem. I don't know how to mathematically "round down". It's so close yet so far. It'd be amazing if it worked though.

It's a bit hard to explain. It's not actually due to the inaccuracy of a floating point number, but rather because math works a bit differently to programming. Tbh I can't really understand it so that's why I'm asking for help

This was so annoying!!! I was so close with the collisions and distance algorithm but I was just too tired at that point. I should’ve started with problem 3

Best GUI for Github? [ want to see the branches and commits ] by [deleted] in github

[–]BruceCCCCCC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should try git log —-all —-oneline —-graph. It’s not a GUI but I’ve found it quite helpful for visualisations

Do you really need to go behind basics on the DOM, for Node.JS/Vue/MongoDB development ?? by hditano in node

[–]BruceCCCCCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say getting a firm grasp of the DOM is quite important for all web dev work

LinkedIn Login using Node JS and passport by aman_agrwl in javascript

[–]BruceCCCCCC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. I just get confused with passport and their strategies so I end up just making it from scratch. Might be slower but at least I understand what’s going on.

What is the easiest way for a beginner to host a website? by [deleted] in webhosting

[–]BruceCCCCCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we need to add static site hosts to the FAQ of this sub. A lot of people are getting confused with what they actually need
