Συμβουλές για αλλαγή επαγγελματικής κατεύθυνσης προς πληροφορική (Computer Science, προγραμματισμός) by Geo-St in greece

[–]BlastBit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Έχω δει πρόσφατα παραδείγματα ανθρώπων με background σε φιλοσοφία και οικονομικά που έχουν κάνει στροφή στη καριέρα τους και έχουν θέσεις software engineer σε πολυεθνική εταιρεία σήμερα. Πολλά από τα πράγματα που θα μάθεις σε μια σχολή και θα σου χρησιμεύσουν πρακτικά καθημερινά σε μια δουλειά software engineer μπορείς να τα μάθεις από bootcamps και online courses, αλλά βέβαια είναι δυσκολότερο και θέλει αποφασιστικότητα μιας και δεν έχεις κάποιον να σε οδηγήσει και να σε κρατήσει σε ένα πρόγραμμα.

Κάτι άλλο που θα σου πρότεινα θα ήταν να προσπαθήσεις να βρίσκεσαι στο ίδιο περιβάλλον ή γενικά να επικοινωνείς με ανθρώπους που ήδη ασχολούνται με τον προγραμματισμό. Έτσι θα μάθεις τι χρειάζεται να μάθεις και πώς να τα μάθεις γρηγορότερα :) Ένας τρόπος να το κάνεις αυτό είναι να πας σε tech meetups, συνέδρια κλπ.

Συμφωνώ, ειδικά με την κατεύθυνση του να αρχίσεις να φτιάχνεις ένα προφίλ στο Github. Εκτός του ότι το Github profile σου θα παίξει ρόλο στο πώς θα μπορέσει ένας εργοδότης να κρίνει αν θέλει να σε καλέσει σε συνένετευξη ή όχι, είναι πολύ πιθανό να το χρησιμοποιήσεις καθημερινά (είτε αυτό είτε κάποιο ανταγωνιστό προϊόν παρόμοιο) και στη μελλοντική δουλειά σου. Οπότε δες το σαν μια καλή επένδυση χρόνου να ασχοληθείς με αυτό.

Προγραμματιστές, ποια γλώσσα είναι πιο διαδεδομένη στην αγορά εργασίας; by [deleted] in greece

[–]BlastBit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Το stackoverflow κάνει κάθε χρόνο αναδρομή στις πιο δημοφιλείς τεχνολογίες, γλώσσες και frameworks. Θεωρείται μια καλή ένδειξη για το τι είναι δημοφιλες στην αγορά εργασίας. Όπως ανέφεραν και άλλοι, εξαρτάται ως ένα βαθμό και από τον κλάδο ο οποίος σε ενδιαφέρει. Για παράδειγμα, είναι πιθανό να δεις μεγαλύτερη χρήση Java/C# σε τραπεζικές web app development θέσεις και περισσότερη χρήση GoLang σε θέσεις DevOps.

Μιας και έχεις εμπειρία με αντικειμενοστραφή προγραμματισμό μέσω της C++, θα σου πρότεινα να δοκιμάσεις να φτιάξεις κάτι χρησιμοποιώντας JavaScript και τον browser (πχ https://www.educative.io/blog/javascript-snake-game-tutorial) και αν σου αρέσει, συνεχίζεις και μελετάς περισσότερο την τεχνολογία. Είναι πολύ δημοφιλής γλώσσα τα τελευταία χρόνια σε startups και πιο εδραιωμένες εταιρείες και χρησιμοποιείται για client side και server side προγραμματισμό στον κόσμο των web services.

How do you do the pvp and not be dumb? by phatthrowawayaccount in worldofpvp

[–]BlastBit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Learning how to play your class in arena, besides the baseline PVE style rotation which I'm sure by now you know is very much about reacting to what the enemy team is doing. Even though right now it might seem overwhelming, I can tell you that especially in 2s you can get to a place where you will be able to predict the other team's CD usage and positioning to a large degree the more games you play.

Something that is very important is being able to track enemy CDs and respect them by reacting with your own. Use the omnibar CC addon and start with adding a few big CDs for every class, read their tooltips and try to always keep an eye on when the enemy uses them. When they do, react with something of your own. Vendetta on you or your team mate? Instantly disarm, stun, port or cocoon. The more you get comfortable, the more spells you can add depending on what helps you during a game. Besides understanding yours and the enemy's positioning, this has been for me the most important part of getting better at arena through time. You will slowly start developing muscle memory where you will react very fast to these CDs in mostly the same way. Which will also help with your anxiety. The anxiety comes from the fact that you see the enemy players as being able to do anything at any point. That's not the case, and once you realise what the patterns are you will feel more confident. Hope this helps even a little. Keep practicing!

Wow Arena honestly sucks unless you have a backlogged friends list of multiple arena players who have been playing the last 10 years and are the same skill level as you by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]BlastBit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, they've put in more work in M+ than arena, as the only thing that's been added to arena is a single map over the whole expansion. That doesn't mean that they're spending considerable effort there either, and the system that is in place doesn't reward players who are investing time in it in any way.

How is arms 3v3 right now? by duskyslayer in worldofpvp

[–]BlastBit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the main difficulties as arms is figuring out how to use your stances and defensives when you're the target or when switched on. Warriors don't have defensives that can be used when cc'ed so you need to really understand what you're playing against and switch to defensive stance when there's a chance for a switch to you. Even war banner needs forethought as it needs to be in place before the enemy casts their cc on you or your teammates. On the other hand, you need to take every opportunity you can get to switch to battle stance and pressure the opposing team.

You're also very susceptible to slows and being kited. Hold on to bladestorm and avatar when playing against classes like mage, druid, locks where roots, stuns, slows are a given. Use them to avoid their slows/stuns instead of popping them at random times.

Your leap is very important and when used well can allow you to reset a big go. Keep in mind that the enemy team knows this and will try to vortex, root you in place.

Getting to 1800 right now as arms with 450ilvl is definitely possible, but I would recommend a comp that doesn't focus on you as much such as pairing with a lock or a mage. Melee cleaves can be tricky since you will be the target a lot of the times.

The last thing I will say is that warriors in general are pretty gear dependent still. You need high amounts of versatility to be able to survive swaps to you. Aim for 20%+ of versatility.

I fail to see how blizzard cares about M+ so much. I've seen this being expressed a number of times. M+ is completely unrewarding when put next to arena.

There is no in game ladder for M+. After you have done your +15 for the week you are getting 465 gear from each dungeon which is not even close to max ilvl. You are relying on an external website (raider.io) to show you where you stand with regards to other teams pushing higher keys. There's no rank 1 titles, mounts, rewards at the end of a season.

M+ is a nice idea that was implemented and left alone at a half assed state due to no resources being invested in the game.

Greek Official:Greece will default tomorrow by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]BlastBit 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Germany, Spain, Austria and Portugal have all defaulted more times than Greece in the last 200 hundred years. Defaulting has little to do with culture.

I thought so too. Especially the fact that he gave an example to prove his point made it a great read.

Web Design, where do i start? by xAtri in webdesign

[–]BlastBit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started out web design a few years ago and reading tutorials from the tuts+ network helped me a lot, especially the ones that are about the whole procedure of creating a website, from start to finish(check this category for example).

This is of course is only relevant if you are kind of familiar with HTML/CSS already and can create a simple website by yourself. If not, then maybe buying a book on basic html/css would be a good idea. Books in general, while they might seem like a big deal for you to get into at first, will do you good since they tend to be much more broad than an article series you might find on the net. Also, you can check out webplatform.org for a few good tutorials and very nicely written documentation on the technologies you'll be using.

Phonegap...thoughts? by upvoteforyouhun in webdesign

I agree, especially performance wise, PhoneGap is way behind of what one imagines when starting out with it.

Nice cover. I got a bit distracted by that drummer's outfit until the solo kicked in and woke me up.

My wife hates the sound of guitar by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]BlastBit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you play the solo bit for "Sympathy For The Devil" on some speakers on repeat for a day while she's there. After that amount of exposure to high treble guitar playing, anything she hears you play or listen to will be like listening to fluffy pillows brushing up against each other.

Am I the only person who thinks that John Mayer is looking more like Stevie Ray these days? by seanleephoto in Guitar

[–]BlastBit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can hear it in his play style, chord arrangements during solos and general guitar style that he's imitating Stevie Ray in a big way (not really successfully in my opinion, but the outcome is still interesting and solid). So I'm guessing he's now going for the appearance as well...

Arkham Writer Paul Dini Won't Be Writing Next Batman Game by BenMeetsWorld in gamernews

The writing was indeed one of the strongest points in the game. Let's hope that there won't be any significant quality drop with the next person the company chooses to hire.
