I did nothing today and still got my repcap

I don't see a reason for using floor, it throws out information. A lot of difference between 1.95 and 2.05, but none between 2.05 and 2.95. An employee that's in the middle between two integers doesn't see any impact of the changes they make in either direction.

I recognize being guilty of the same, converting a continuous range into a discrete set of A, A-, B+, B, and so on. But I have to because people expect letters rather than numbers on a transcript. Salaries don't have this restriction.

let's admit it, your maths isn't much better than mine

One can't easily convert between countries. Currency exchange rate isn't representative of actual purchasing power.

@Andy I didn't mean it like that
Resumes are fun.... I've got to finish mine to start applying for stuff soon.... My ego gets tickled by all the times I get asked for help and I like to think I'm an impressive candidate.... but then I look at my work experience and it looks mediocre at best...
if only there was some way to demonstrate my knowledge of programming topics without having to spend years in the workforce on that topic

@Quill That's ok. I doubt the annoyance with the constant plugging of another product by another user came through as I intended.

@Quill I suppose stacknews was a fun project for its own sake, but as an end user, I'm more likely to use a Twitter feed, @StackMetas

@Quill This isn't bad.
 
user315433
@bjb568 True, but also: the "skills score" is an intermediate result of calculations, not the final one. There isn't a reason to round those.
 
user315433
Unless one does mental arithmetics...
 
bjb568
bjb568
Well, you have to round it or at least quantize it somehow otherwise you'll have infinite information density.

It's a rational number.

I don't know why people stress out so much. Neither looks much worse than Vladimir Putin to me. And Russians are doing alright for the most part. And that's even before comparing the checks for presidential power in two countries.

@Magisch that's somewhat inaccurate. In truth, US elections are a very practical elaborate joke.

I'd be ok with Merkel for president. But, some rule about having to have been born here.

@Shog9 You can't have merkel she is here and needs to run this thing
I didn't vote for her and I disagree with many of her policies but she's kinda ok for a conservative :p
 
Shog9
Shog9
Don't be so selfish.
@Magisch so in all seriousness, the primary function of the president here is to be the scapegoat for whatever else is going on. Most of the power lies elsewhere. (couple key exceptions there, but...)
 
Magisch
Magisch
@Shog9 sounds familiar
We also have a president, and its not merkel
all he does is sign stuff and give speeches at memorials

the US President always has an audience, always commands attention... But how much happens at their word is primarily determined by their ability to persuade, not dictate.
 
Magisch
Magisch
And he's replacing an incumbent of the green party (he's running for the green party) so he won't have to do much election stuff, but I'll be on his campaign "Staff"

good luck!
 
Magisch
Magisch
@Shog9 Our politics works with less with public grandstanding and more with long drawn out argument in the parliament
I like having discussions here, the people on stack are somehow inherently more rational. In most other forums it deviates into nasty stuff quickly. I haven't really seen much of that here.

Before you get too invested in the idea of "rep inflation", @Two-BitAlchemist, consider that average rep per user has been falling for Q&A for some time now, and is currently at an all-time low. Here's a fun graph: i.stack.imgur.com/aFPnR.png — Shog9 ♦ 1 hour ago
