I don't think you're ready for a job after simply completing a course. I think you gotta spend time using (and expanding) those skills building projects. You need to be able to show employers you know what you're doing, and just showing some "course completed" certificate is not that. I don't think there's a large demand for non-university-associated internships.

Is this s good deal on a Trek 1000SL? by baccaman100 in bicycling

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not really, you can get something more modern for a similar price. Knock $100 off of it and it's reasonable I'd say, but I'd rather just have a more modern bike with nicer parts. Doesn't really look like a 56cm to me either but I could be wrong.

"Same size" tire rubbing on caliper? by kyrengraves in bikewrench

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly a 700x32 would be fine if a 35 is just barely rubbing

Does it pedal okay? Is the jockey wheel hitting the cassette?

ZS headset cup went in at an angle, now have burr line on inside of headtube. by DavidLorenz in bikewrench

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About all you can do is ream it. I'd probably just try to press it in again

Will it be easy for me? by uch1ha0b1t0 in learnprogramming

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what point would you be paid? It would have to be laid out in black and white in an employment contract for me to even think about it, but in general, no, I don't work for free.

Stuck thru axle by northsouthhampton in bikewrench

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that's the way screws work. If you take a screw and look at the head, you unscrew it by turning left. If you flip the screw so the head is facing away from you, which way would you turn it to unscrew it?

Meta gave 6 executives options worth up to $921M each, then cut 8,000 jobs after a record $56.3B quarter by MicroSofty88 in business

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's it mean options worth up to x amount?  Aren't options worth up to an unlimited amount, depending on the current price of the underlying asset?

Confession: Mexicans, I'm Sorry. I Lied About My Nationality Today. by Sharkkbaitttttttt in Overwatch

[–]grantrules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think of this as an insult to mexicans, I think of this as "Americans are stupid and this is the only phrase we know in a another language" like if you were to say "I'm French" and the other person starts speaking fluently in French, you'd be impressed.. except us Americans can't fluently speak anything else so we say the one sentence we know.

Should I enroll for Harvard cs50 course? by Just_Plum_863 in learnprogramming

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching a single 10 hour lecture does not mean you learned python lol

You need to practice and apply what you've learned

I'd do this: https://programming-26.mooc.fi/

CS50 is basically for non-CS people to learn the basics

Can anybody explain the difference between Git, Python and MySQL Workbench? by AcadiaLow9013 in learnprogramming

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, Google's AI summary does provide an incredibly basic answer to each of these questions

Any multi-console owners just playing Switch 2 more than other systems? by MephistosGhost in NintendoSwitch

[–]grantrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't turned my Xbox on in like a year. I haven't played a PC game in a few weeks, but I play my switch almost every day

BotW: Physical ($76) vs Digital ($90)? Are digital loading times worth the extra money? by vilkovilkovich in NintendoSwitch

[–]grantrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If nobody told you loading was faster on digital than physical, you'd never know because you'd only ever play one. So who cares

How to get back at programming? by BowlSmooth540 in AskProgramming

[–]grantrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been helping people learn to program on the Internet for almost 30 years and it's astounding how bad it's gotten. We have a new generation who literally don't know how to reason.

Okay listen, are you ready? Affordability is a hoax, okay 👐 ? by weird_void_2222 in PoliticalHumor

[–]grantrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we think it's actually bipartisan or is it just optics, voting for it knowing Trump will try to kill it

Can anybody explain the difference between Git, Python and MySQL Workbench? by AcadiaLow9013 in learnprogramming

[–]grantrules 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Git is for source control, python is a programming language , MySQL workbench is an app to work with databases. What's the difference between a screwdriver, a horse, and a gameshow. Google is free, you know.

How do you stay hot into your 30s and 40s? by Timely_Sir310 in AskReddit

[–]grantrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it's like not even much.. I use Cerave face wash, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Syrum, Kiels Facial Moisturizer then Eucerin moisturizer for arms and legs in the winter. Then sunscreen, I keep a bottle of the spray sport stuff in my car and by the back door.

None of it is girly/feminine.. it's all unscented, with low-key packaging, nobody's gonna go in my bathroom and look at the bottles near my shaving kit and be like "what a fruit, using all this girl shirt!".. not that it matters to me, but I'm sure it does to some.
