The mysterious child that was never to be referenced again
I’m sure there was a threshold they had set for that, but I doubt it ever made it. For Microsoft something can’t just be very profitable, it has to be insanely profitable
I loved it. It’s a modern rct2 for sure. I couldn’t find anything that was super different about this versus roller coaster tycoon 2. The gameplay is fun, I got easily addicted to it, they added a couple new elements that were kind of fun, I don’t know if you’re debating about it. I think it’s worth the money completely
I went on facebook as an experiment for a couple of weeks, try it out again, even take part.
Algorithm quickly caught on that I liked some interests - transit, trains, Taylor Swift, and EVs.
It was fine for a while, made a few comments, engaged with a few people, both who agreed and not.
All of a sudden over the last week I’m seeing just pure propaganda - BS “headlines” like “50% of Americans regret buying their EV”. Absolutely unproven horseshit, but there it is.
Facebook is absolutely culpable in this mess. They straight up promote it, and for me I was pro all of that stuff, it switched on me.
4chan adopted as a kinda meme and then these fuckers took it seriously
Sum up the last 8 years in one sentence, man that hits too hard
Yeah idk. I get what they’re saying completely, but this exact one seems easy. Just do a validation check and throw an error. I mean, it is an IP validator after all. Either support hex or don’t.
“we had this idea, no idea if it’s possible, we may not make it, but fuck anyone else who tries to do this”
Correct, JSON can handle any precision, because it’s just dumped as a string anyway, just not enclosed in the ""
. However, as you mentioned, as soon as it comes through the parser it’ll put it into an underlying float value. In C# I create a save high precision attribute that will take the value and put it directly into a decimal
. In JS I’m sure there’s some way to do that, but that parser is way less extensible compared to C#. However, this also all assumes you know the client will parse it correctly, overriding the default behavior. Safest is to just send it as a string, and then create your parsers to automatically send to and from strings
Until you get to multi currency, which is why I don’t support using ints or longs, and strings are still the only way. There are currencies that have no precision, and others that have 3 or more digits of precision - and then you’re looking at doing calculations each time. Strings are the safest way to make sure you’re representing exactly what you want to when sending data over the wire or persisting
The fun differences between the perfect world of theoretical and the realistic. Everyone thinks of computers as perfect - but it’s not until you’re asked to solve “How do you store decimals using only 0s and 1s?” does it start to click. Not as easy. It’s why I’m hesitant to hire bootcampers into my roles. Bootcamps are great, and they get more people coding, but you don’t learn that theory behind the scenes - you don’t really know what the computer and operating systems are doing. For 90% of the time it doesn’t matter, it’s abstracted away - but that last 10% man, that can really fuck up an entire system.
Not a bad reason to want to play as yourself at all, but after the first playthrough or so then it’s time to start experimenting. One of the great things about RPGs is that you can be someone else entirely, and I think it opens us up to other ways of thinking. Playing as female shepard is at times a completely different experience, and you just want to explore it. It’s the guys who are afraid of playing as a woman, who think it’s not masculine or something weird like that. That’s not okay, drop the masculinity, be the awesome femshep bitch you were born to be. Plus to them, I like to say, “Why would I want to stare at a guy’s ass for 100+ hours?” Usually fucks with their masculinity a bit
Lol I did, whoops.

All of us fintech devs however, know the true horrors. Make everything a string, lest ye end up in precision hell
bingo. Timezones became easier when I learned that all apps and databases should have all times be in UTC. Let the UI do it’s thing and accept local time and convert it, and vis versa.
FemShep is the best way imo.
I’ve heard the weirdest excuses for why not though, worst ones were “why would I want to play as a woman, I’m a man”. Now, on your first playthrough absolutely but after that?
This is all over a GitHub stars badge? Developers probably want to encourage people to star it. It’s a huge stretch to say they’re trying to track people
Hot take. All Americans lost last night.
You’ve been sitting in the drive through for 10 minutes how do you not know what to order?!

It has to be one of the easiest things I’ve ever turned off. It’s not like I’m mucking with registry settings, it’s literally a toggle
