“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

I like to do things cost per hour. A $60 dollar video game that gives me 120 hours of content is $0.50 an hour. Pretty good if you ask me.

Going to the movies is $20 for 2 hours. $10 an hour. Pretty high, sometimes worth it. That’s about my gauge.

This is $21 an hour. For that I better be having just an amazing time, I better be at Disneyland or something.

I know it’s weird here on the fediverse, but I’ve been through it. If you want, DM me anytime, or DM me and I can give my mastodon. Should probably start a community sometime. It’s been good talking to you too!

I wish you luck, but be prepared for anger in response. Just be ready for it. Make it not about the politics but instead the hate, the anger. Hell try to make it about politics but instead make it about the hate. It’s not about Biden or trump, it’s the anger.

I was just thinking yesterday how the rest of the country’s conservatives look at Seattle as a burning liberal hellscape, but we actually have a lot of conservatives here. What do the conservatives here think when fox news says that capital hill is still under riots?

Costs is the key thing. People know it’s nice, so people move here, and costs go up. Expect 2000/month rents, and that’s the low side in some areas

Edgy McEdgerson is checking in!

I’ve never seen HR use data brokers. I would think that could open them to a lot of risk, finding out things that aren’t legal to know about someone before saying yes. All of mine have used actual background check agencies

I appreciate it, and I hope your interactions with your father go better too. I know many many people who take your approach, just avoiding it. There’s no real right or wrong way, because we shouldn’t be in that position in the first place. I hope they stop bringing it up around you and respect your wishes about it.

Re: circles, maybe keeping it personal will help too. Turning off Fox news and sources will help, but my dad sure did shut up when I brought up the people he knew (and I know he liked) that he was talking about. They always go “They’re one of the good ones”, but then the reverse is “These policies effect the good ones too, dad”

not sure about CoD myself, but Halo was my franchise of choice. Over the last couple of games they’ve changed social playlists to still alter your skill, I’m not 100% on the details of how, but essentially it means ranked is where you go to compete, social is where you go to practice for ranked. It’s become extremely frustrating because you have everyone trying way, way too hard in social games, getting angry when things don’t go perfectly, and dropping out of games that aren’t competitive enough leaving us with lopsided teams.

I just wish games had a “Hey, no skills here, just in and have fun, there’s no points or levels, that’s over there” style gaming. And if there is skill based matchmaking in that style, then we shouldn’t know about our level in those games.

Social playlists were unranked, vs ranked playlists. They generally had no stakes to play, and there were no benefits for players in there except to have fun. You couldn’t boost your skills or anything in socials, the only way to do that was to play the ranked playlists. So for me, it was just a blast playing those. Just a bunch of people who wanted to have fun
