i started out writing reports, it was actually useful to my career because the one thing programmers are consistently terrible at is database design and writing sql queries for a year really teaches you about it if you apply yourself correctly

Pro tip: always catch exceptions and log them straight away you can't trust that calling methods will catch it in fact you should have exception handling and logging in literally every method everywhere!

first class functions are great. i love some of the language concepts in javascript (prototype inheritance is cool once you get it), but holy hell that implementation is so terrible. please tell me there is a language as fun as javascript but actually good

ok the answer is 1) diff_sec is a float so it can evaluate to nonzero path but still round to zero in the cast and kaboom 2) jerkiness is a measure of differences in frame intervals, while frame_count / time is a rate. Since 30fps ~= 33ms nobody noticed that the jerkiness value was measuring totally the wrong thing

The next day, you sneak down to the basement and stick the coins inside your grandfather’s steam-powered replicating invention (luckily, you can just fit the 20 coins inside). You hear a whiz and a pop and, a few hours later, out shoot another 10 gleaming coins. Cool it's like bitcoins.
