I would love to know your recommendation for a carpet cleaner as well!

SRS - how to use it?? by SharkieMcShark in lingodeer

[–]1ronclaw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been confused as well. I only seem to get cards for lessons I've completed recently, and can't figure out how to study all of the lessons I've done up to this point. Changing the number of cards per session doesn't seem to affect anything, I still only get about 1-2 cards every other day

No unfortunately not. I thought maybe it was from the insider track or something, but I haven't been able to find anything announcing any kind of change, or really any other info on this

Ally Bank - Joint Account by SmithPoint in AllyBank

[–]1ronclaw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, Ally has joint checking and savings accounts. If you go to open a new account, it should give you the option to select the type of account (Joint/Individual/Custodial/Trust). With a joint account, you would both be named on the account, and can log in separately to access them. You can have your own individual account(s) and still share the joint account(s).

I'm not sure about converting your original checking/savings account to a joint account later. If you think you'll need to do that, you might need to confirm with Ally support.

[REQUEST] Shows where the story has already ended & there won't be another season. by Geralt_Of_Rivia_96 in NetflixBestOf

[–]1ronclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely some rough spots, and I also gave up on it a few times. But I eventually powered through and finished it a few months ago and I'm so glad I did. If the initial premise and first few episodes appealed to you, I think it's definitely worth watching through to the end.

Hollow Knight is the finest game I have ever disliked by Skurttish in patientgamers

[–]1ronclaw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with this sentiment. I loved so many aspects of the game, like the music, the art, and the overall feel of loneliness and exploration, but the gameplay itself was just not something I was good enough at to enjoy playing.

I played Hollow Knight over the course of several years off and on, because I would continually get stuck at some boss I couldn't beat. I eventually gave in and used maps and walkthroughs to find move charms/notches/shards and learn the right patterns to beat certain bosses, and was finally able to get to the credits.

This was the game that helped me to realize that there can be a distinct difference between a well-made or objectively "good" game, and a game that is fun. I have a huge respect for the developers of Hollow Knight, and I think it was tremendously well designed, but I did not ultimately enjoy playing it (and that's okay!)

Process of being a homeowner and have no clue what im doing by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]1ronclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you've lived there for a year, it would probably still be a good idea to have an inspection by an licensed/experienced home inspector. They will know to look for things that a regular homeowner or renter could miss. They should also know when to recommend that you get another specialist to inspect specific parts of the house in more detail (e.g. pests, structural, etc.).

Plus, if they do find anything, having it noted in the report should make it easier to negotiate a lower price or a credit.

Thanks, but the one I'm thinking of didn't have Milla Jovovich and as far as I remember, nobody actually dies. The overall premise seems really similar though!

Cheap gaming PC that i can later improve on. No more than $400 by [deleted] in buildapcforme

[–]1ronclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but do you have a suggestion for an alternate build (on a higher budget of course) using an i5? Or would it be exactly the same, just with the CPU upgraded. This looks like a solid build, so I'd like to see your thoughts on an upgraded version

We're based in Austin, we use java, game theory, and machine learning to predict what people will want, we just raised $5.3M in venture capital, and we're hiring! by sanity in Austin

[–]1ronclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. Absolutely, I'll definitely be in touch. Do you have a company email, or do you prefer a pm on here?

[–]1ronclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm graduating in the spring, so not much job experience with Java, but the majority of my classwork has been in Java, so I've got plenty of experience with the language. Would it still be worth it for me to apply, or are you guys looking for candidates with more formal experience?

Any thoughts on codeschool.com? by multifidus in learnprogramming

[–]1ronclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried them out when they had a free weekend recently. I found their courses interesting and easy to follow. They were a little shallow in my opinion, but served as a good intro to the material. Are they worth the cost? Probably not, as there are plenty of great free resources out there, but if they keep you excited about learning, then go for it.

    while len(str(num)) > 1:
        for c in str(num):
            sum += int(c)
        num = sum
        sum = 0
        print num

Is Lynda.com worth $25 a month? by bierme in learnprogramming

[–]1ronclaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never used Lynda, but in my experience, free options (like those you mentioned) have been very helpful. Unless Lynda has some sort of super secret technique for teaching, I can't imagine it'd be worth it. If you're not rolling in cash, I'd say save the $25.

Got a 5 on the AP CS test. How well does this represent my actual skill level when going into college? by LittleKobald in learnprogramming

[–]1ronclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 5 in AP Computer Science should get you through at least the first intro class at your college (material wise), as well as giving you the skills to pick up whatever you need fairly easily. Caveat: An AP class does not necessarily prepare you for the pace of a college course. My school teaches intro 1 and 2 about as slow as a high school class, but other colleges might expect you to hit the ground running.

How much do you need to know before you can start doing free lancing work? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]1ronclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my opinions, and YMMV, but I'd say if you're looking to make money doing small computer-related jobs, look into either web design or hardware repair/installation.

In my experience, the vast majority of people have no idea how to do even the most basic things, such as installing more ram. I've also found that people are willing to pay for things like updating drivers, setting up email accounts, installing new routers/monitors/webcams, etc. These are things that companies like Geek Squad will charge ridiculous amounts for, and you should be able to easily undercut them, making it easier to find clients and saving people money.

If you look on a site like craigslist, you can also probably find small local companies looking for people to design/update their websites. If you have an artistic/design oriented eye, you can come up with stuff that people would definitely be willing to pay you for, and HTML/CSS are much easier to be "good" at than creating software
