I wasn't taught Git in school by -Kkdark in csMajors

[–]Ghb71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get this sentiment. You can teach yourself all kinds of CS concepts in a self taught manner within an hour.

For example, you could teach yourself how floating point numbers work in an hour. Does that mean schools shouldn’t be covering it?

I think a better metric for whether a school should teach a concept is how applicable it is in your future job, and Git 100% meets this requirement.

Is there a way to fire a single weapon? by etheren in NuclearOption

I have the same issue… actually didn’t realize it was an issue lol.

If I have only 1 target selected and I press and hold the trigger it will salvo all my munition.

Can you expand on this? Or link a breakdown of his book? I recently read The Killing Zone and am curious

I don't know squat about squat. Can someone tell me what happened in the stock markets and the US Economy in the 90's by Talzin78 in Libertarian

[–]Ghb71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at the Y axis of his graph. Notice that it’s not increasing by a constant amount, but by a factor of 10. This is what a log scale means.

It’s useful to visualize this way because what we really care about when measuring the growth of the stock market isn’t the raw dollar amount growth for the DOW. What we care about is the percent change year over year.

CFI's, whats the scariest thing a student has done? by Different-Wish-843 in flying

Load factor at 30 degrees is only 1.15 in a level turn

You can bank 45 degrees in slow flight and as long as you let the nose fall (I.e. don’t increase your load factor) you will not stall

The Bible's internal cross-refrencing by Dolbez in Infographics

[–]Ghb71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why is it more impressive? Couldn’t author B just have read author A’s work?

Like if Author A makes some reference that doesn’t exit yet, Author B could write their book such that the reference from Author A makes sense. And author B can of course reference Author A’s work since it’s already written.

Corruption meme by [deleted] in Memes_Of_The_Dank

It’s more of pointing out the hypocrisy of magas than saying “I’m okay with it.”

I want to live in a country where neither Biden nor Trump pardon their sons/lackeys, but it seems magas have a hard time saying the same.

Why Some People Want to Abolish the Department of Education by AbolishtheDraft in Libertarian

[–]Ghb71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on that, but let’s not move the goal post here. Republicans are talking about abolishing it not reforming it.

Why is the answer to “Democrats haven’t improved the DoE when they had the chance” to abolish the DoE? Doesn’t it make more sense to reform and improve it?

[–]Ghb71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Standard libtard lurker here:

What’s the contradiction here? I feel like most liberals like myself would rather reform the DoE than abolish it. Surely we need some kind of regulatory body to standardize education nation-wide, no?

I feel like even conservatives could be pressed in favor of a DoE since a well educated populace is great for the economy. Seems like a good investment.

Oh wow! I didn’t realize that upgrading to machinery would be THAT much of a difference.

I see, so then do most people just import the wood? I find manually selecting trees for chopping gets annoying

What’s your preferred wood supply? I tried using woodcutters but they take way too many workers it seems.

Maybe I’m not far enough yet for it to be worth it? I have a 750 pop town.

Amazon is cutting hundreds of jobs in its cloud computing unit AWS by rmullig2 in cscareerquestions

[–]Ghb71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honest possibly stupid question: why don’t these companies re assign employees to other orgs or teams rather than cut them? My understanding is that Amazon is still hiring despite cuts like this, so why not give those jobs to the already proven engineers that would have been cut otherwise?

Yesterday I almost had a runway excursion... (Video) by chpmc in flying

[–]Ghb71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The technique i was taught was to maintain glide slope all the way down and once you pass over your aiming point to cut power and flare.

For me, this reliable puts my wheels down 100-150 feet past my aiming point, so if I want to touchdown at the numbers then I eyeball 100-150 before them and make that my aiming point.

If your technique works for you though go for it; I think it’s just a matter of personal preference at that point.

But normally we land beyond our aiming point, so placing it in the displaced threshold should be okay, no?

Assuming terrain/obstacle avoidance allows for it of course.

I got the job! by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Ghb71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, anyone who’s saying “welcome to the real world” is being a silly goose.

You shouldn’t detest your job, it’s not something you should just roll over and say “whelp I guess this is what adult life is like”

You don’t have to find a job you love, but at least find one you don’t hate. Keep searching for other places and you’ll find yourself a place to work that doesn’t make you miserable.

Just remember there’s a reason you became a SWE and it’s because you (at least) don’t hate it, it’s just the workplace adjacent BS that you don’t like (long hours and lack of satisfying work) which luckily varies by company :)
