How Good at Math Does a Programmer Need to Be? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm working my way to a CS degree and am currently slogging my way through an 8-week Trig course. I barely passed College Algebra and have another Algebra and two Calculus classes ahead of me.

How much of this will I need in a programming job? And, more importantly, if I suck at Math, should I just find another career path?

Why did North Carolina vote red in the presidential election but blue for governor? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The real question is how he still got 40% of the vote.

I truly believe the only reason he didn't get elected is that he did all that weird shit while being a Black man.

Technically, he froze to death.

Companies holding my personal data have been hacked so many times it doesn't even matter anymore.

Per the article, takes 15 years of adverse possession to claim squatter's rights in KY. Order that got homeowner kicked out was a protective order that stemmed from a physical altercation between the "squatter" and one of the homeowner's roommates.

I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. in c/[email protected]

Twitter was a turd. X is a turd marinaded in diarrhea sauce.

The downvotes are because your "solution" is not based in the reality that the rest of us live in.

Wouldn't that leave J.D. as the president? Not a better outcome. Maybe even slightly worse.

At least there's an elevator. It could be a walk-up.

Volvo EX30 Is Crushing It in Europe: Is the U.S. Next? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I have a Mazda lease that's ending in December and looked really hard at the EX30. The delays in Volvo actually getting the car to the U.S. have been disappointing. Now, with the good things I've been hearing about the Equinox, I'm leaning towards the Chevy, which is something I never thought I'd say.

I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x (sh.itjust.works)
 

After seeing that my wireless speeds were much faster than the speeds I was getting over Ethernet, I decided to invest in some new cables. I didn't know it before, but I saw while I was changing them out that my current cables were Cat 5e. While putting my network together, I had just been grabbing whatever cables I could find in my scrap drawers. Now I have Cat 8 cables and my speeds jumped from 7MB/s to an average of over 40MB/s. It's a much bigger improvement than I expected, especially for such a small investment.
