No way! 68% of 120 is 120% of 68, so drop the 100% now i just need to figure out 20% of 68 or do i need 68% of 20 which is really just 6 tens plus 8% so divide 20 by 10, then times 6 which is 12, now we need 8% of 20 which is just 20% of 8 or whichdies

What made you join Lemmy?

One of the biggest reasons i stick around, is just the slower pace and lack of algorithms. If i check in the morning, there's a good chance that the same content will be trending in the afternoon or evening so I'm less inclined to scroll.

Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace

I worked really hard at my first year at a big company and didn't take any sick days. During my performance review, I scored 4/5 for attendance, even though I arrived early for every shift and did every overtime opportunity. When I asked my manager, she said it's policy not to hand out 5's because it sends the message that there's no room for improvement.

No one could tell me how I could improve my attendance.

What is the result of a programmer's work?

I'm not going to lie, that last one is the hardest thing for me.

After years of trades i always loved having a physical thing you can touch and feel at the end of the day. I'm in university for tech, and i'm still struggling with the lack of achievement. I don't often get to see someone use a thing I worked on, so it kinda feels like I spent a lot of time doing nothing.
