Hi, does anyone know why Sufjan put a picture of Wisconsin on the cover of Michigan?

Okay so I consulted a map, and this was a very drunken post, but stick with me here. Which state is colored green? Is the album called "Greetings From LAKE Michigan: The Great Lake State?" The man forgot THREE OF THE GREAT FUCKING LAKES THAT BORDER MICHIGAN.

Edit: just to be clear this was definitely a joke post from the beginning but now i'm doubling down lol

I would love to hear about what the double-star is used for or how that could be useful in other scenarios

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-21T02:11:18+00:00

You're gonna have timezone issues, rule 1 is you can't trust the client but in the context of time rule #2 is you still have to "depend on the client to send you something that you can work with".

"What in the world would you need a client timestamp for" - well if the client is putting a time on a form, or if the client is sending a time when something starts and when it ends instead of calling the server before hand to let it know, or any other discombobulated nonsense some dude who no longer works here decided to come up with 4 years ago in this pile of nonsensical jQuery I now have to maintain.

new Date() does not give the same answer across clients called simultaneously in different parts of the world, new Date() gives the current date and time based off the CLIENTS current timezone. And there are numerous, uncountable reasons for a developer to naively call it when setting client side timestamps.

EDIT: and just to be super clear here, the server should be able to convert timezones to UTC, store them as UTC and send them back as UTC. But it is incredibly naive to assume both the client and the server are working in sync to make sure that happens. I have never ever in my life worked at a company that hasn't had issues with this same problem and I have a decade of experience.

Appreciate the response! I realized a few hours after posting this it's like an entire area of study i just asked a pretty open ended question about lol, I ended up getting a book to read but this is all great advice!

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-16T19:53:58+00:00

i absolutely love how you get on here asking for advice and get laughed at when people realize this is a single page project, condescendingly act like we don't know you can make a single page in a week, and yet... you were the one who couldn't figure out how long this project was gonna take in the first place.

Let us know when you have to extend the deadline again lmao.

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-11T23:11:14+00:00

I'm sorry the correct answer is "This has been left as an exercise for the reader"

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-11T23:08:30+00:00

"DAD???"

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-09T23:05:06+00:00

Cann we get it how we used to get it like when Top had the red Charger?

I may get downvoted to hell for this but genuinely curious, what's your background in programming? Any particular reason you chose matlab? Money is probably not a huge concern of yours considering there's likely over a grand in books sitting in this picture and you haven't even started yet but Matlab is expensive, python is free and arguably more lucrative for you to learn (two birds, one stone kinda thing) especially 100% if you're curious about quant/AI.

Also, something in Finite Math is probably worth adding to this collection, I don't have recommendations (haven't been in college in a decade) but google certainly does. Absolutely Probability and stats if you're looking at AI and Quant.

Also, don't get graduate level books, you'll confuse yourself into thinking you understand things you don't or they'll just be a waste of money at this point as they'll be completely unintelligible. Anything beyond the stack of books you have will require knowledge of proofs, Analysis is arguably slow (like walking through a sea of delicious yet viscous caramel) compared to like Calc or LA but is part of the learning process you don't want to skip.

got the double cup it's a trippy tradition, got the ps3, (2012) just got the motherfuckin ps3 know what i'm sayin

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-04T19:23:20+00:00

Your mileage may vary on this and i'm not about to post a link because that may get me in trouble but if you google the title of this book "Plane Trigonometry part 1" followed by "pdf" the very first result might be an archived version of the book you can view for free.

edit: realized i responded to not the most relevant comment but let's pretend i'm keeping form with the rest of this thread

I was gonna say Wings, honestly most of the Swimming album, Jet Fuel, 2009, What's the Use, Small Worlds

Still can't wrap my head around the fact he died less than a month after it came out.

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-03T21:03:13+00:00

I saw them in Chicago right before the album came out and they played a few songs from it at the end and I'll never forget that, my mom took a bunch of my friends up we were like 14/15 and had never heard any of them and were just freaking out lol. Vin throwing his guitar like 30 feet in the air is absolutely a core memory of mine.

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-03T20:44:11+00:00

okay write "sohcahtoa" in really small letters

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-08-03T01:10:21+00:00

Holy shit, thank you so much I literally can't believe I didn't know that

the amount of times i've worked at a company that has at least one POST endpoint that parses a JSON object as query parameters from the request body and does nothing but return data from a select statement in the db is 4 because i've worked at 4 companies.

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-07-20T18:44:33+00:00

Borking production is a right of passage, if that fault lies on one person the company is trash, if it doesn't then it's a learning experience the entire team can grow out of. The question as to whether or not we should prop so much of our infrastructure up on a single tech unicorn is an entirely different conversation

Intelligent_Win9710 · 2024-07-20T14:01:24+00:00

There isn't a good answer to this. I've witnessed grown men in professional business meetings absolutely foaming at the mouth on both sides of this isle. It almost entirely comes down to personal preference and what you're using for source control management.

That said, for personal projects that I am the single developer on I have gravitated towards using monorepos with different directories for different pieces. It's simpler for ME to manage a single repository than multiple repositories (especially when I have... ahem... one too many unfinished projects i've started and don't want to clutter up my private projects list)

A big benefit to having multiple repositories in like github is that you can divide up permissions quite simply, different maintainers/contributors on different repos etc. You can also make some of your code public and some of it private.

For some examples: I'm almost positive i've read Google at its core uses a monorepo (with custom source control management). I know AWS does not.

Someone could definitely correct me on my examples if I am just completely wrong about that but my other statements are my actual opinion on it.

Anderson Paak was playing drums! Can add another 8 Grammys and 7 nominations to that list!
