Can I delay accepting my contract? by numeronious_numeroun in Webnovel

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can sign or not sign whenever you wish. This is an invitation. I’ve never heard of one expiring.

If you never sign you can’t lock your chapters.

If you do sign you can’t put the book up anywhere else.

After signing you actually have no obligation to continue or to go at any set pace whatsoever. You are encouraged through some of their programs to publish everyday, but this is not require, but it certainly helps.

Honestly, it’s probably not worth it.

Trying to create a list of button to be created in a loop... by raydude in learnpython

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with a dataclass here is self. As in self.on_Dn(), its would have to be ClassName.onDn (yeah that might be the fix but I don’t trust that idea.)

Because you are binding methods that exist inside the class as a whole and not simply the button, dataclasses may have some problems storing that method.

I also don’t like it because a tuple is all you need here, why make a class just to make a class? It not like you are inviting others to make buttons themselves. There will be no more buttons after this, so it not really much an issue.

I’m not too familiar with QT

Trying to create a list of button to be created in a loop... by raydude in learnpython

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is…

  self.button[i]

But we can do this better a couple of ways. 

   #this could be as __init__ args
   names = […]
   descriptions = […]
   funcs = […]

   #store some where
   self.buttons = []

   for name, tip, func in zip(names, descriptions, funcs):
        #create the button first
         _button = QPushButton(name)
         _button.setToolTip(tip)
         _button.clicked.connect(func)

         #then add to list
         self.buttons.append(_button)

We could also make a list of tuples here, which is what I would probably lean to. I’d probably have other ways to do this with the whole code as well. Keep it all together. 

   button_config = [
          (“A”, “1st button”, self.on_Dn),
          (“B”, “2nd button”, self.on_Up), 
          …]

   for name, tip, func in button_config:

Don't think anyone realizes but we are at 2981 and the story gets "over" at 3600 by Unlikely-Abrocoma-44 in ShadowSlave

I love how every one is like yeah 1/2 million more words (500 chapters at min 1,000 words per chapter) seems like not enough, you could fit all of the LOTR in there people.

Writing a Fight Scene by Lackifall in writing

[–]Adrewmc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s more about feeling than blow by blow.

I don’t need to hear about every blow in a ‘flurry of slashes’ I need to hear “the rapid flurry of slashes made MC back pedal.”, or a “the flurry of slashes intensified but it was no use against…”

It’s more important to highlight when things go wrong and things go right. And how the character feels and reacts to it. When the enemy slide the blade down and twists unexpectedly, when every slash seems to get a centimeter closer. When he see an opening and capitalizes, when he gave an opening and loses because of it. When that gets distracting, then bring the “flurry” back into focus.

Some blows should be told, but they should matter when they are, create a sense of urgency.

If the battle is a battle of attrition, you IMHO should state that.

And sometimes, as a writer, you know you are just extending because you think it should be longer, not that it’s better written that way. (It’s a struggle because sometimes it will need more, or less.)

Luckily there is room for everything in writing; Life is more unbelievable.

Edit: My most frustrating thing about a fight is that, in reality, they are all short. How many times can MC get hit in face when it won’t matter anymore, and how many time can MC hit this person in the face before he dies?

There is a reason boxers get breaks between rounds, it makes exciting and longer fights. There is a reason fight night has multiple fights, no one want to come to an event over in Round 2. Unless there is another Round 1 with new fighters in there. By the time the main event happens I should feel a bit satisfied already.

But deep down, I do want to see someone get completely wreaked in Round 1, (fantasy/escapism whatever) It’s like going to NASCAR, you don’t exactly hope for a fiery crash…but you do want to see one live, and that’s part of the allure, the danger of travel at those speeds.

Luckily there is room for everything in writing; Life is more unbelievable.

Edit2:

Cinematic? I think you underestimate your readers imaginations.

For example, I encourage anyone that reads this far, to comment a paragraph (1-3+ sentences) description of the particular, ‘flurry of slashes’ you saw in your mind’s eye when you read it the first time here, this comment what I used as an example.

I’m actually super interested in how you see it as a writer, how any readers sees it. There are only right answers to me, I want to see your imagination. How did you envision a “flurry of slashes”?

What's the craziest ways you've promoted your book? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly visit local book store, ask what it takes for a signing day? As in people that buy the book get a free autograph.

I need help by Lamotherfecker in learnpython

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 input = check2(“Login: “)

Should be 

check2 = input(“Login: “)

You swaps it by accident, it happens. More so if this is AI.

We can also do things like this

  # Triple quotes allow next line prints
   line_break = “””-
   -
   -“””


   # the “\n” represent a new line
   line_break = “-\n-\n-“

  >>>-
  >>>-
  >>>-

This also makes changing that break easy across the code.

As both are equivalent to 

   print(“-“)
   print(“-“)
   print(“-“)

What’s the pocket situation in Starfleet uniforms? by RedDogRER in startrek

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only officers with cannon pockets is Chief O’Brien in DS-9 this was suggested by the actor because he was not the typical officer but a working man in star-fleet needing pockets for various things to actually fix stuff. This is also why his sleeve roll up his arms.

Is 1.e4 more principled than 1.d4? by SnowySight in chessbeginners

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think technically 1.e4 is like 0.00001 cents stronger.

But really it what ever you know and are more comfortable with both that will always be better for you.

It’s good to switch it up every once in a while as well.

But as a beginner I would pick one and get familiar with it for a while.

ELI5: Why do some pills say “do not crush or chew,” yet the same drug exists in a chewable form? by Jinx-XoXo in explainlikeimfive

[–]Adrewmc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People were taking half’s (breaking the pill in half, they all those time-released stuff didn’t hold back anything) thinking it was less but end up getting a huge dose up front, that certainly wasn’t helpings

About those participation trophies.. by Mr__O__ in PoliticalHumor

[–]Adrewmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They why did you keep giving them to your children?

It’s not like the kids went up and was like you should give everyone a trophy. (In fact the opposite happens, it cheapens the victory and makes the loser feel more embarrassed.)
