@english_maven In addition to taking up more memory, floats become less precise than something like a integer/long when you’re dealing with really large numbers (by this I mean greater than 2^23). Because of the format used to store a float, really big numbers get rounded down to powers of two

@traversymedia I have kids and it makes my growth as a developer a lot slower bc they are all young right now. So for now I take things day by day, code when I can, and enjoy my family. There will always be coding to do later! 😊

This day 100 years ago – 21 November 1920 – 14 men were shot dead on the orders of Michael Collins.

Later, members of the Royal Irish Constabulary Auxiliary Division opened fire at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park, killing 14 people. The day became known as ‘Bloody Sunday.’

Walmart made $129B in profit last year, but at least 14,500 of their employees receive SNAP benefits.

McDonald's made $11B in profit, but at least 8,780 employees receive SNAP benefits.

Execs are paying workers poverty wages to boost stock prices and line their pockets.

But whyyyyy 😫

[Boyd_STEM @Boyd_STEM]

@CodeNewbies Even more realistic if it required 5yrs of experience in a code base that only came out a year ago.....HR at tech companies are populated entirely by people who still don't know the keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste....yet that constitutes 90% of their typical day to day activity

[Boyd_STEM @Boyd_STEM]

These are the people and companies we should be investing in globally, great story @dw_environment , keep up the awesome reporting.....and the welcome positive outlook. Thanks all.

@DThompsonDev Been storing some data in ES6 class constructors lately and enjoying the functionality as much or more than my experiences with them in Python. My next missions are to do more with databases and unrelatedly more with cookies for another project. Good code week so far.
