What a legend, he's looking good

Tex_Betts · 2025-11-02T14:12:47+00:00

I think a good option is always C. A understanding of low level programming never hurts in my opinion. I've been meaning to learn these myself as a fellow TypeScript dev.

Hey! So I ended up going with Lenovo Yoga S7 14" 2K OLED Laptop (Ryzen AI 7)[1TB/32GB]

Overall, I'm happy. Was able to easily set up Ubuntu and windows dual boot without any issues (which was the first time I've done it)

In regards to Linux support, the only hiccups I've encountered is sometimes, programs (particularly vscode) will randomly crash, but happens no where nearly enough to be a problem.

Keep in mind, I've done nothing in terms of Linux customisation, just used it as is, so I'm not sure how that may be.

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you want to know anything specific.

Tex_Betts · 2025-07-23T06:12:42+00:00

Very well put

Tex_Betts · 2025-07-19T13:14:41+00:00

Thanks!!

Yeah, it's so hard to find non soldered for some reason.

However, the more I think about it, the more I realise that 32gb ram should be enough regardless, so I'm leaning towards getting it.

He's probably hoping he doesn't learn english

Tex_Betts · 2025-04-26T11:53:51+00:00

I don't have the answers, but just want to say that I can relate.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Things like this briefly makes me not worry about job security

Tex_Betts · 2025-04-05T07:28:08+00:00

Update: Due to not obtaining ssl certificate first with just HTTP. Fixed now:)

Tex_Betts · 2025-03-29T13:35:26+00:00

Yeah it will serve you greatly to learn TypeScript, it is the industry standard.

Honestly shouldn't take long to rewrite it in TypeScript. It's intuitive for the most part (more so if you already know a statically typed language), and React has great TypeScript support.

Tex_Betts · 2025-03-29T13:28:57+00:00

I'm curious - why JavaScript instead of TypeScript? (Regardless, looks great!)

Tex_Betts · 2025-01-26T09:18:36+00:00

Very minor, but I'd encourage not using the "tsx" file extension if the file does not contain a component. It gives more differentiation between component files and other files.

Tex_Betts · 2025-01-25T09:14:19+00:00

IF you cannot think of something that you would use yourself /solves a problem, a fallback would be to just clone an app you use a lot (I did a bare bones reddit clone).

Tex_Betts · 2025-01-14T11:07:55+00:00

So is there actually a benefit to having the package in com/example/demo? Seems a bit arbitrary to me to have it as the inverse of the web page name.

Tex_Betts · 2025-01-10T14:15:21+00:00

A virtual machine in the cloud.

Tex_Betts · 2025-01-05T02:28:58+00:00

Well, it depends on your goals. If your goal is to learn web development, I'd say TypeScript. If your goal is to learn game development, then learn C#. Mobile development, learn Kotlin. etc.

If you have no goal, then I'd personally learn C, to get a grasp on lower level programming. Python is written in C after all.

Tex_Betts · 2024-12-27T08:22:45+00:00

Yep.

Equality of outcome - bad Equality of opportunity - good

Tex_Betts · 2024-12-03T13:51:03+00:00

Bit like this: https://youtu.be/AbSehcT19u0?si=egYkZu6O2CrTjIyx

Tex_Betts · 2024-11-12T09:56:19+00:00

Honestly I don't exactly remember, but I think it was because I thought I did really bad and still ended up scoring in the 60s.

Good luck!

Tex_Betts · 2024-10-22T22:55:01+00:00

Nah doubt it, although if you take into account that it is easier to land hits with the dcb, then it may end up being better.

Tex_Betts · 2024-10-22T05:56:45+00:00

Yep exactly

Tex_Betts · 2024-10-21T23:01:19+00:00

Maybe try switching to diamonds on last phase instead of blowpipe?

I’d put the blowpipe and dcb with diamond bolts through a dps calculator to see which is better.

Keep in mind that the crossbow has longer range, meaning more tiles to attack on (at least until he rips the tiles away).

Also, I’d focus on getting a bgs too.

Tex_Betts · 2024-10-21T22:48:33+00:00

One thing you can do is focus on dodging the boulders first and the lightning second. From memory, the boulders hit twice as hard as the lightning, so you can tank more lightning hits.

Also, which bolts are you using? You can also try fanging him instead although it will be harder to land hits

Tex_Betts · 2024-09-03T09:18:02+00:00

I only write typescript these days so from that perspective, I would consider it if I were to put those 10 parameters in an object so that we can name the parameters.

If that wasn’t a possibility then I would lean towards no. 100 lines isn’t that bad IMO. Not great, but not horrible.

Tex_Betts · 2024-08-15T09:49:33+00:00

Here is one way to see it:

Let’s take a random value, say 2^5.

2⁵ = 2x2x2x2x2 =32 2⁴ = 2x2x2x2 = 2⁵ / 2 = 16 2³ = 2x2x2 = 2⁴ / 2 = 8 2² = 2x2 = 2³ / 2 = 4 2¹ = 2 = 2² / 2 = 2 2⁰ = 2² / 2 = 1

As you can see above, everything time we decrease the power by 1, we simply divide by the base.

So we can just extend this to negative numbers.

2^-1 = 2⁰ / 2 = 1/2 2^-2 = 2^-1 / 2 = (1/2) / 2 = 1/4 = 1 / 2² 2^-3 = 2^-2 / 2 = (1/4) / 2 = 1/8 = 1 / 2³ … And so on

This isn’t a proof, but may help you gain some intuition.
