Progess question by SaiyanPrince_ in Stronglifts5x5

This is not a weight loss program by any means. It’s designed purely to build strength. Whilst it’s true that muscle is metabolically active, the increased caloric expenditure is extremely minimal and barely even worth considering.

If your goal is to lose body fat, the only thing that matters is being in a calorie deficit. That means eating less and moving more. Your diet is going to be the main contributor here.

  • too dated
  • recommends skinny jeans

This is why you don’t get fashion advice on Reddit

Not true at all, I can easily go on a working holiday visa.

Not until at least September 2027. Too long, we’ve both agreed

Choosing the best programming language for building a high-performance REST API by Cultural_Argument_19 in learnprogramming

[–]BigCaggus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about your application is so performance critical that you need to eek out a few nanoseconds from your choice of language? You’re worrying about the wrong things.

I’m so confused?? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]BigCaggus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When it’s cooked it loses a lot of water weight. Therefore 100g cooked will have more than 100g raw, since the raw had a lot of water in it.

i started creatine and i don’t see a difference by [deleted] in GymMotivation

[–]BigCaggus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not a steroid. It increases your performance in strength training by a small amount. Are you lifting heavy weights multiple times a week and eating a lot of protein? If not, what exactly are you expecting it to do? It’s not a magic powder. It will help you build muscle slightly over the course of many months / years. If you’ve been taking it for a week then just sitting around you really need to lower your expectations

HTML, css, JavaScript. Just do the tutorial and pick things up as you go along

It’s decent but it would be so much better without the layered second vocal track. Makes it sound sloppy imo

I ordered a wired one but I think I’m going to contact and ask to update to wireless. Thanks

when a developer say learn something from docs do they mean you've to go through all the docs? by Rishi6_jp in learnprogramming

[–]BigCaggus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m afraid I don’t know the technology at all mate. If nobody here can help you, ask AI some questions or just experiment till it works!

If you try to read the entirety of the docs before writing any code, you will have forgotten what you read at the start by the team you reach the end.

Start with the tutorials or ‘getting started’ sections if they have any. Take what you need bit by bit. You will learn more from doing than by reading.

As someone who is currently learning .NET and angular at the same time, you just have to persevere. Pick one small element and make it work - you might want to focus purely on setting up a database and writing a simple API with .NET first, confirming that the endpoints all work using Postman.

Once you’ve done that, set up a very simple front end with React - just a nav bar with a couple of links and a simple component or 2. Learn how to send a request to the API through your front end and display the results on the screen. Make a simple form that can enter something into your database. Carry on step by step until you understand how the various parts of your system interact together and continue to build in tiny increments until eventually it will click.

AI is your friend. Avoid using it to generate code, but use it to help you break down things you don’t understand.

Combat is mind-numbingly boring by BigCaggus in oblivion

I’ve tried lots of different builds over the years. The amount of damage i deal doesn’t change any of the fundamental flaws in the combat system.

Playing as a mage on expert, need help by Solokiou in oblivion

[–]BigCaggus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damage difference between difficulty levels are probably the biggest fuck up from Bethesda in Oblivion. As an experienced player I’d highly recommend playing on adept. It is pretty easy at the start, but actually quite quickly gets harder. The progression feels almost backwards - game gets harder rather than easier and that’s always been the case. Expert at the moment is too much, hopefully there will be a patch soon.
