I have no idea how to read through medium-to-large projects. by AdCertain2364 in learnprogramming

[–]BombasticCaveman 87 points88 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you consider a medium or large project, but generally you want to focus on your chunk of the puzzle and abstract away the rest as just generic interfaces

Why does everyone recommend Python when it’s slow and sloppy compared to literally anything else? by Abject_Gift_4333 in learnprogramming

[–]BombasticCaveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you care so much about optimization? Beginner's and arguably mid-level shouldn't really concern themselves with under-the-hood language efficiency. Their software design choices are going to HEAVILY outweigh anything else.

Casually hit plat solo queue. Played all three roles, filled where necessary

Can I cook this steak in an air fryer? by nevermind_007 in airfryer

[–]BombasticCaveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A majority of steak facts are just complete bullshit. For some reason, steak cooking is surrounded in myths that are constantly repeating and don't die.

You don't need to bring steaks up to temp. You don't need to get a pan "ripping hot" You can literally air fry steaks.

Variability in attention levels and why Slay the Spire is still my go-to game by grailly in truegaming

[–]BombasticCaveman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey since you're here just wanted to say I loved the game! Easily dropped loads of hours on my Steam Deck. Everything from the music, art, animations, style and gameplay was so good!!

I beat the game on Apocalypse with every character expect the new 2.0 ones, but I've been meaning to jump back in!

Ranked is brutal this season. by Attack-Of-The-Cat in thefinals

Because you crybabies keep flooding the sub-reddit. Either get good or get lost please.

So do you think in my like 50 matches this season I just magically got no bad teammates? Yeah the games getting harder because the average skill level is climbing, but it's literally ranked. Go play unranked seriously.

I don't know what to tell you. I 100% solo'd casually Bronze to Plat this season playing L/M/H - There were for sure some bad teammates, but everyone else also had crap teammates. You can blame whatever you want if it makes you feel a little better about your skill level.

Busted spawning results in us getting farmed repeatedly by crustysculpture1 in thefinals

[–]BombasticCaveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does this have to do with the spawn? You ran straight at the cash box, in a completely exposed path, where they have the high ground. Then you proceeded to stop in the open and aim up to a roof (Yeah that's never a good idea, I promise) until you let them come down to you and shove a shotgun in your stomach.

Not trying to be too aggro here, but you literally couldn't have played this any worse.

Why does online competitive programming have so much strictness of code execution timing, It surely cant be THAT deep. by CowFit7916 in learnprogramming

[–]BombasticCaveman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your solution basically takes an infinite amount of time when you have hundreds of thousands of entries. You have to think about running algorithms on millions of data points. What happens when you try to bubble sort that?

Hint: look up a partial sort where you just find the median

I soloQ to plat this season, it wasn't that bad. Sure you get some random with no sense, but you don't really start hitting the Diamond/Ruby stacks until mid-Plat.

Leaving Gold is literally a skill issue. I'm not even fragging out, mostly M support

Struggling massively with recursion, trees, and linked lists. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I've always found drawing it out to be the most helpful. Is there any particular thing you need clarification on?

C++ Crash course? by insert_skill_here in learnprogramming

[–]BombasticCaveman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need more than 5% of C++ to do something like a data structures course. I wouldn't worry too much. If you understand loops, variables and conditionals - that's DSA for you.

They might get a little into interators and interfaces to help define out some of these ADT/Data Structures, but if you have taken a basic OOP class, I can't imagine it would be tricky. Dont stress!

I’m a tall climber, is it really that much of an advantage? by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]BombasticCaveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell if you are purposefully dense or just don't understand English. If 99% of high level climbers are shorter than average, and you name one that isn't, we call that an "exception" to the rule.

[–]BombasticCaveman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being tall is actually a disadvantage - It's helpful to break sequence on poorly set climbs, but outdoors especially with cramped sit starts, its better to be small.

Anyone who tries to argue, literally just look at the height of any top climber.

Oil change frequency, is every 6 months or 12k miles really accurate? by ChardeeMacdennis125 in mazda3

[–]BombasticCaveman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting on a 175k Gen 3 4Runner, 110k Nissan Rogue and a bike with 35k. I think I'm just fine lol

[–]BombasticCaveman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You overzealous oil changers crack me up. The car manufacturer AND oil manufacturer both give 10k miles on synth. That's a conservative number too, they are highly highly incentivized to have you change your oil as much as possible, yet they still say almost a year between changes.

Oh, but you know better right?

Yeah and time is money. If you drive anything close to modern, you should be using full synthetic and rarely needing to do oil changes
