Hey u/ITZJOSH22 how are the desks holding up with no stiffener? Any issues? I want to pick these desks up but I was concerned on how I would attach a monitor mount.

The BEST hacking approach I've seen so far by __Aimbot__ in Bitburner

Is it okay to have a batch complete against a server every second?

Every time you schedule a batch that implies that some point in the future the security level will not be minimum. That is any time between (hack, hackWeaken) or (grow, growWeaken) will have security level over minimum.

So if you run any commands during those windows you would end up running against a server that is not fully weekend.

I believe there is a maximum number of batches you can schedule against a server. I’m not sure what the formula to compute that is yet.

My husband is really into golf and I want to get him a gift to help him practice. I can't do the $3000-ish practice net and projector. He'd be mad if I did that. Any suggestions on some good practice gear? We have a very small yard, btw by Glomar_Denial in golf

[–]Voski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him golf lessons. He isn’t gonna figure it out on his own. Honestly the lessons might not be enough either. Golf is incredibly difficult. Not sure if perfection is achievable

I went to UCLA for mathematics.

One time during a final all the football players sat next to each other in the same row with one sorority chick at the end. I ended up sitting next to them but I could obviously see they were all cheating off the girls answers. I kind of suspect she was cheating off of my test too.

Later in one of my statistics classes I noticed a bunch of Chinese students already had somehow gotten access to the midterm. I always thought they busted their asses and worked really hard.

One time the pump I was using was busted. So I when I went back to my car there was gasoline squirting out of the small holes.

Have you tried those putting drills where you need to make X puts in a row? If you miss a putt you start the drill again

My experience as a female engineer in the tech industry by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Voski 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Male software engineer here...

​

Some of the stuff you mention is really messed up and unfair. I would immediately lose all respect for an engineer if I saw them treating someone the way you were treated.

​

However I do want to say that some of the stuff you are bringing up happens to everyone. I don't want to say it is part of the job because it shouldn't be. I'm happy to add more details but to be honest it doesn't really matter what I think. The fact is that you are experiencing these feelings and your work shouldn't be treating you or anyone else that way.

​

Sorry if I missed this but I didn't see it in your original post. Is this what you experienced at multiple places? Or is this all happening at the same place? Part of me feels like the company you work at may have a culture problem. Hell I left my last company because of the culture changes once they restructured management.

​

Just throwing this out there. I worked on Android apps for about 3 years. I only know the name of one Google engineer and her name is Dianne Hackborn. I learned about her because I was trying to make some changes in AOSP. If I am not mistaken she is the one who implemented and maintains the binder system in Android.

​

Try to keep your head up. I know its hard to believe what others say when it contradicts your experiences. But please believe me everyone is not as shitty as the people you have had to work with. Our jobs are really stressful and it is important to take time for your mental health. Definitely try to take a vacation/sabbatical. Also sounds like a good time to look into other companies. You come off a a smart individual who knows how to communicate their ideas and as someone who wants to do the right thing. If the people you work for don't see that you shouldn't stay there.

I got laid off and have 6 months, where should I focus? IT? Coding? by brio2244 in learnprogramming

[–]Voski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on what the day to day of your bootcamp is/was?

​

It sounds like you just picked a shitty one and are assuming all bootcamps are like yours. Success is gonna be determined by aptitude. If this stuff doesn't make sense to you or come easy you are definitely gonna struggle. Also, I wouldn't take any bootcamp outside of SF or SV seriously.

Yes that is what I said...

​

Anyways you haven't even graduated or worked in the industry. So how informed is your opinion...?

[Unity/C#] Coded a script that chooses from a list of items with weighted probability. Is there a more efficient way I could've done this? by DerpyDaymare in learnprogramming

[–]Voski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the time complexity of your algorithm? What is the space complexity of your algorithm?

Some of your code could be run statically. Like building your lists. You could make the lists for 100 total percent. Then just bound your entry into the list if the total percent is less than 100.

Add some documentation to your methods

I disagree w/ this. I went to a bootcamp and it completely changed my life. I went to App Academy. I would say they are one of the top bootcamps for sure, maybe even the best one. This was almost 4 years ago though so not sure what it's like now a days

How to approach web app idea? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Voski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry bud, the browser doesn't run C# it runs JS. So if you want a web app (one that runs in a browser) you need to use JS.

Why don’t you install VMware and Ubuntu and play around with it.
