There are times I run into that too. Even senior developers miss stuff like that. When we get stuck on some silly issue we can't find, we'll often pair up and look at each other's code. Sometimes it just takes someone who hasn't been looking at it for hours to see what's wrong lol

2021-01-23 01:12:46 UTC

Sometimes you just have to get someone to be your "rubber ducky," you explain what you're working on to them like they're a rubber ducky just sitting there, and just stepping through it can help you see what's going on

2021-01-23 01:12:55 UTC

yeah that always gets me no matter what i do. hiding in plain sight is usually what i have the most trouble on with anything. i dont think ill take another coding class, too many things to remember and do for something im not going to really build off of once im out

2021-01-23 01:13:26 UTC

im more of a hardware kinda guy, software is just too complicated

2021-01-23 01:13:39 UTC

Sometimes a break is good. You've learned stuff this time through that will be valuable if you ever decide to take it up again.

2021-01-23 01:14:02 UTC

It does take a while to get comfortable, but once you do learning new stuff becomes easy.

2021-01-23 01:14:30 UTC

Software can be a huge pain sometimes lol

2021-01-23 01:15:11 UTC

yeah, i had a sister that was in IT for a while so she has some old textbooks ive looked through, thickest textbook ive ever seen

2021-01-23 01:16:56 UTC

And after learning Java, languages like python and C++ are easier to learn. The only language I don’t like coding in as much is MIPS assembly language

2021-01-23 01:16:58 UTC

There are some massive ones

2021-01-23 01:17:27 UTC

yeah, well thanks for the help, i appreciate it

2021-01-23 01:17:36 UTC

Lol MIPS that brings back memories of college. It's a cool concept but you have to keep track of a lot.

2021-01-23 01:17:48 UTC

My pleasure, any time!

2021-01-23 01:18:52 UTC

The syntax for many language in that category has a heavily influenced by early languages like C, so they are indeed very similar.

2021-01-23 01:20:24 UTC

And also: I used to get amazingly frustrated with coding issues, and now I do it for a career. The most important thing is what you like to do, the rest is details (within reason)

2021-01-23 01:21:48 UTC

been thinking about either joining the army and making a career out of that or focusing on some sort of trade

2021-01-23 01:22:45 UTC

Those are two really good options. You'd learn a lot of stuff in the army if you do it right. Lots of great skills, and possibly stuff that would help you get into a trade.

2021-01-23 01:23:01 UTC

Not saying do it for sure, but it's a good option

2021-01-23 01:23:39 UTC

yeah, ive always been interested in the army vehicles, mainly tanks, so getting a job working in or on them would be great,

2021-01-23 01:24:32 UTC

Machinery people are pretty valuable id imagine. Not many people know about that kind thing.

2021-01-23 01:25:34 UTC

yep, and i woudnt have to pay a mechanic every time i needed to work on something, and if i get out retirement i could open a shop or look for a decent one. id rather be working somewhere with my hands than anywhere else

2021-01-23 01:33:01 UTC

That sounds like a really excellent plan. Way ahead of most folks. If that's what you decide to do, the most important thing is to put in the work. Success is 80% keeping at it.

2021-01-23 01:34:10 UTC

Equally important: as much as you can, stay out of debt.

2021-01-23 01:35:41 UTC

thats the plan, luckily ive heard trade schools are cheaper than regular college, and after army discounts would definitely help

2021-01-23 01:36:29 UTC

even if i dont get into the armored units or whatever theyre called, still serving would be quite fine with me

2021-01-23 01:36:39 UTC

Definitely! All debt too. Credit cards are the devil.

2021-01-23 01:37:20 UTC

yeah, i plan to keep a debit card as my main payment as far as non cash goes. ive been warned many times bout credit card experiences

2021-01-23 01:37:43 UTC

Excellent! Debt steals wealth.

2021-01-23 01:38:15 UTC

oh yeah, i do my best to stay out of it

2021-01-23 01:38:17 UTC

So many smart folks in here! I'm hopeful for the future.

2021-01-23 01:39:21 UTC

Is there an advantage to taking calculus, I’m doing my programming and I don’t know if I should do it

2021-01-23 01:39:30 UTC

so am i, and hopefully more smart people come

2021-01-23 01:39:43 UTC

Amen

2021-01-23 01:40:01 UTC

not sure, not that high up yet USofA, isnt calculus very very difficult?

2021-01-23 01:41:01 UTC

It depends on what you want to do. If you're going into engineering it's essential. Even some areas of artificial intelligence use it heavily.

2021-01-23 01:41:37 UTC

I’m drifting off into the medical field so idk

2021-01-23 01:42:35 UTC

Taking calculus to some extent can help you develop an instinct for mathematical relationships, which can be helpful in most areas of science

2021-01-23 01:43:06 UTC

You don't have to go hardcore, but some helps

2021-01-23 01:43:17 UTC

Yeah, I have a lot of time on my hands since most of my senior year will be electives

2021-01-23 01:44:59 UTC

It definitely can be

2021-01-23 01:45:28 UTC

thought so, does anyone know if its mandatory?

2021-01-23 01:47:08 UTC

It wasn't when I was in HS, to graduate, but it was required for some college programs in order to get in.

2021-01-23 01:47:50 UTC

Anyone know G-code for a CNC mill? Any tips on learning G-code?

2021-01-23 01:49:31 UTC

It depends. For engineering and natural science majors, calculus is required, but for other majors the minimum is pre-calc

2021-01-23 01:49:46 UTC

ah ok, thanks

2021-01-23 02:01:35 UTC

I submitted my geometry assignment, praying for a good grade... I don't have a very good teacher.

2021-01-23 04:23:24 UTC

Can you give an example of what a trade school is? I’ve heard the term thrown everywhere but not sure what it really means? Is Police academy a trade school?

2021-01-23 04:34:03 UTC

It is not that difficult.

2021-01-23 04:58:06 UTC

I need help with an essay

2021-01-23 04:58:59 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/801170141907386408/802401973105459230/unknown.png

2021-01-23 05:01:16 UTC

first, what is your opinion? do you agree or disagree?

2021-01-23 05:04:53 UTC

Nah i dont think people should be famous

2021-01-23 05:04:59 UTC

to leave a legacy

2021-01-23 05:06:10 UTC

okay, so now you've your thesis

2021-01-23 05:06:17 UTC

why do you think so?

2021-01-23 05:08:37 UTC

I think i got it now

2021-01-23 05:08:41 UTC

thanks

2021-01-23 05:10:22 UTC

it's debatable on what counts as a legacy since something small like helping a food bank isn't famous but can leave a legacy

2021-01-23 05:14:09 UTC

My advice, look into confucius

2021-01-23 05:14:35 UTC

You don’t have to read all his work but I think his thoughts are interesting

2021-01-23 05:15:02 UTC

ill check it out later i got all weekend to do this

2021-01-23 05:16:17 UTC

I don't remember much about confucius other than his stance on human nature

2021-01-23 05:17:04 UTC

ie, humans are good and he had a whole lot of faith with people

2021-01-23 09:06:24 UTC

That’s not a very good prompt honestly.

2021-01-23 09:10:38 UTC

I like your take on it! I think you’ve got enough of a start on the question to elaborate on it. I would change some of your phrasing on the part about Jewell to explain more about how he cleared his name and what his legacy meant for the country. You could even tie it to what is happening now with cancel culture and trial by the media

2021-01-23 22:53:40 UTC

Do any of y’all’s schools have gogaurdian for zoom

2021-01-24 01:33:10 UTC

Who does Udemy?

2021-01-24 11:05:34 UTC

HECK NAh

2021-01-24 11:05:47 UTC

We don't have it but even if we did, use computer x2

2021-01-24 11:05:49 UTC

or x3

2021-01-24 13:13:20 UTC

I've done a few courses there. Pretty good.

2021-01-24 13:19:15 UTC

There's a website that put coupons out like 100% off

2021-01-24 14:00:40 UTC

What person has left a lasting legacy in your eyes? I need to close off this essay

2021-01-24 14:24:40 UTC

nvm

2021-01-24 14:34:09 UTC

Idk Martin Luther king rosa parks

2021-01-24 14:34:21 UTC

Steve jobs for the computer

2021-01-24 14:45:18 UTC

person that left a lasting legacy, Almon Brown Strowger

2021-01-24 14:47:16 UTC

invented the Strowger Switch which created phone numbers

2021-01-24 21:54:57 UTC

Tolkien

2021-01-24 22:23:27 UTC

GEOTUS

2021-01-24 23:59:31 UTC

steve jobs didnt inventthe computer tho

2021-01-25 00:07:43 UTC

oh my bad, Idk who did

2021-01-25 02:35:47 UTC

Charles Babbage

2021-01-25 13:22:19 UTC

Say Trump and you get an early summer vacation

2021-01-25 13:25:37 UTC

thats smart

2021-01-25 16:30:07 UTC

Hey I need help isolating t from the d =v0(t) 1/2(at^2)

2021-01-25 16:30:51 UTC

Part of me thinks it’s the quadratic formula I should use but I want to make sure there’s other ways to isolate it before resorting to it

2021-01-25 16:32:10 UTC

as in at^2 v0t -2d

2021-01-25 17:08:29 UTC

no. isolate for t is via quadratic formula is the quickest way

2021-01-25 17:11:08 UTC

so 1/2at^2 + v0t - d = 0 than use the quadratic formula?

2021-01-25 17:22:28 UTC

I’m not sure if I’m doing it right but

2021-01-25 17:22:38 UTC

the given weight is 11.8N btw

2021-01-25 17:23:19 UTC

Do I need to the parallel gravity and add it to counter the applied force?

2021-01-25 17:25:39 UTC

yup

2021-01-25 17:26:52 UTC

it's on a ramp, so you'd need to breakdown the gravity force into x- and y-component

2021-01-25 17:27:31 UTC

ok so right now I'm adding the Fg // + Ff + Fapp

2021-01-25 17:33:21 UTC

my answer is 44.768m up. can ya'll see if I missed something since it's pretty steep

2021-01-25 17:43:50 UTC

Fg-x?

2021-01-25 17:44:19 UTC

i'm doing my hw rn so i might not be able to help you 🤣 see if omni calculator has a preset
