It would be pretty easy to make a fraction class if you really wanted to. But I doubt it would result in much difference in the precision of calculations since the result would still be limited to a float value (edit: I guess I’m probably wrong on that but reducing a fraction would be less trivial I think?)

XKCD 149 but worse.

Well that’s largely because so few companies are doing agile correctly. Its usually some form of agilefall.

Nope.

If you want to do the software equivalent of digging a ditch that’s cool, but I’m not sure why you would expect to get an engineer’s salary for doing so.

The idea that coding is the only part of your job is “actual work” is where you’re going wrong. The goal is to create robust, well-functioning software that’s documented and fulfills what it needs to do, not write an arbitrary amount of code. Your job is more than just doing the part you like.

I think I was running x11amp, but it was Linux-only at the time.

While most people on Lemmy are going to know what this means, the person who wrote this error message was definitely trying to be cute with that phrasing.

Well they are sold by weight so you know what you’re getting if you pay attention.

I’ve switched to spray deodorant, which I’m sure hides just as much shrinkflation but seems more efficient.

Remove seems like a terrible name for that method.

The watermark over the watermark on this…for that extra shitposty goodness.

I haven’t had a single page resume in over a decade, I think you usually want to have more for SEO purposes. A lot of places filter by keywords.

These agreements are specific to certain products. Amazon continues to show prices under normal circumstances.

Yeah, like, decades. It basically means whatever agreement they have with the supplier says that they can’t advertise for under MSRP. This is not a thing that’s unique to Amazon.

I think some people view it as “if you’re meant to be a coder your natural curiosity towards how things work will probably lead you to writing code naturally.” But it’s a pretty gatekeepy point of view.

But a lot of developers do do exactly that. They not only distribute binaries on their github, it is the only place where they distribute binaries. Github should probably recognize that it is a common use case and accommodate it better.

I’m also sure that a lot of people, like myself, took no notice of what specific package this user was complaining about, and are simply agreeing with the general sentiment that github could make things easier for non-technical users (which would, in turn, make it easier for developers since they would not need to field questions from users about how they download the software).

To strain your metaphor, I think what most people are looking for is a sign that says “FOOD COURT THIS WAY ->”

If they just had a prominent link to “download latest stable version” in a consistent place, people wouldn’t be so confused (and devs wouldn’t have to do extra work to try and make it obvious).

On the one hand most power users feel this way. On the other hand power users probably aren’t the majority of users (although it depends on the product).

Mplayer -> MPV

Mine care, but they have no idea what I do since the process of enterprise software development is totally foreign to them.
