You can add dictionary to spell-check... i have done that in TeXStudio in the past...

Been there, done that!

Well that whole thing and the comments took all the fun out of "Procrastination over coding" stories, didnt it :/

I fell in love with coding when i was in undergrad - about 15 years ago. I always credit my teacher who made it so interesting. My first language was C++. Since then, i have never looked back.

They hack all the cars and much more in Watchdogs games!

I think i sent out atleast 50 applications over the course of 2 months and got positive response on 1 and then offer on the same. It could be the reason, but you can never prove or disprove it.

Now THIS is what you call a Rant! Hats off to you sir!

@JS96 i just ordered two valhala t shirts. I ll wait on the game itself. :D

@RememberMe I second. Thinkpad all the way. A but expi, but the battery life and durability you get is the money well-spent.

@reginsmol i totally agree with 4. I never worked from home before and i like being at the office for exactly the same reason... workplace is workplace... home is the place to relax. I find that getting ready for work puts me in the work mode and i am really productive that way.

I use MS paint to get my point across... bad writing the mouse... but manually drawing on the new Snip & Sketch is better.

@meros exactly! And i was merely showing them version controlling locally is VS2019! Havent even talked about GitHub etc yet. Again, didnt wanna freak the team out.

I started off from writing a single line in notepad. "This is my first line of code"... stage... commit... didnt use any fancy words... didnt wanna scare them!

@molaram castelvania reference...

@SortOfTested they must be some good seers 😂

Similar story for me... i just googled "i fucking hate HTML/CSS" and found this! And i was hooked. This is the only semi-social platform I am a member of anymore! 😂

@react-guy yeah well i didnt know this because in all other languages known to man (a man like me) you can just make a copy by doing array1 = array2 and ser array1 to zero and be sure that array2 wouldnt have been changed. Sorry if i offended anybody. Not my intention :(

@C0D4 thanks for this. Really helpful.

@eisenhiem array is being passed as a function parameter. FYI!

@C0D4 Its hard to explain!
maybe this helps?

//source: https://gist.github.com/tleen/...
var states = ['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'American Samoa', etc etc...

// Initialize totalCasesPerState with 0

// Copy array and set it to zero
var totalCasesPerState = [...states];
totalCasesPerState.fill(0);

for (let idx = 0; idx < array.length; idx++) {
// console.log(`${array[idx].Province}: ${array[idx].Cases}`);

var stateIndex = states.indexOf(array[idx].Province);

if (stateIndex > -1) {
totalCasesPerState[stateIndex] = totalCasesPerState[stateIndex] + array[idx].Cases;
}
}

@SortOfTested it is a problem for me :'(
JS is kinda of a new world to me, and i only need to program in it for the bootcamp project i am doing. I am mostly used to programming languages for scientific computing in the past. Matlab/FORTRAN earlier, and now Python etc.

Well its definitely not current fancy style... its functional though. Thats for sure.

Like i said, i can make it look like this! 🤣

Freelance it man. Plenty of people out there who will do it for $2 an hour. You still save couple a hundered bucks ;)

@heyheni i know "some". Enough to build a webpage that looks like its from the 80s 😂

Thanks all: really helpful. I didnt actually know about wysiwyg. Nobody talked about this in class.

@AlgoRythm i tried it. Nothing works for me 😭
I cant even get bootstrap to show properly ... so i just made peace with the fact there may be tools like wix or whatever out there!

@C0D4 we plan to write the JS ourselves as a group. Just need an html to plug stuff if. I could potentially write the html myself, but why bother... i hate html&css... no container aligns to where you want it to go... i am not an artist ... so i ll just get something premade and fill it up with our charts and graphs...

Whats the point of exams when we are all gonna die anyways!

@eisenhiem dont really trust their datasets though, but you can find something good for practice and fun.
