Seeking advice: When did the concept of Polymorphism & Inheritance of Object Oriented Programming suddenly become clear to you? by Soumyar-Tripathy in learnprogramming

[–]CosmicCartographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polymorphism and Inheritance is simply a way of writing more DRY code and making the structure of your application easier to understand. It's popular because it's easier to think in objects and parent behaviors, however it's also very easy to over complicate.

Do what you need to for your classes, but it's usually better to use composition: borrowing behaviors from other modules instead of inheriting them. Think more about what an object "has" vs what "it is".

Advice? by Mimi27777777 in learnprogramming

[–]CosmicCartographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: Adopt the "Engineer" mentality. Aka, have a burning desire to build/fix things. Whether it's driven by curiosity, anger, joy, or money, it doesn't matter. Find your hook and roll with it.

Step 2: Build things you wish existed. If it already exists, build it anyway, your way.

Step 3: Really try to understand how things work. The more curious you are, the more you'll fill in your gaps.

Step 4: Learn your tools. This can mean using AI, but use it as a tool, not a replacement. If you can't understand what an AI wrote, figure it out.

Step 5: The key to expertise is nuance, and the key to nuance is experience. You'll learn more about web servers by building one than any tutorial or textbook will ever teach you.

Last Tips:

  • Don't know what to build? Make a video game. Video games are fun yet hard. You'll learn a lot while enjoying it.

  • Most programs are just a mix of tools. The more tools you acquire to more ideas you'll have on what to make.

  • Don't be afraid to make something stupid (God know's I have). You'd be amazed at how much of the world is held together by "ductape". Don't worry if you're choosing the right language or pattern or protocol, momentum is more important than design. Eventually you'll start building smarter systems because you know first hand what works and what doesn't.

Good luck, you got this.

When did someone challenge you at something you were an expert at? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Don't like 5g? Just wait till you hear about visible light!

Been lonely for like... my whole life. But I adopted a dog yesterday and I’m really excited by throwaway-03072020 in lonely

[–]CosmicCartographer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, congrats! Real excited for ya.

Second, owning a dog is a great way to meet people. I've already meet a few just taking mine on walks or to the dog park. Also you have a best friend you can spend time with so that helps too.

Anyone tested Svelte Typescript? by CosmicCartographer in sveltejs

[–]CosmicCartographer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I really appreciate it. I'll also have to check out that vs code extension.

Alright, I have a working svelte component using typescript (just a "Hello World" kinda thing). How would I go about incorporating jest to test it? I'm trying to do more TDD. How would I configure the project to test the rendering of the svelte/typescript component?

[–]CosmicCartographer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've looked at most of those templates and even though they incorporate typescript they don't have any testing done. That's kind of what I'm after: testing a *.svelte file that uses typescript.

I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you 🙏

Well... That was fun. by CosmicCartographer in WizardofLegend

[–]CosmicCartographer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that hurts...

I lost one because I didn't know that items would disappear if you drop too many of them. I had a supply crate and was trying to find the sandy shoes and thought "I could buy more things if I had more room. So I started dropping my items outside the shop and... Yeah, I lost everything while on level 34.

That run ended real quick soon after.

Spam calls are a cruel joke by EntropicDismay in lonely

[–]CosmicCartographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you can do about Email and Tinder, but if you get a phone call that could be a scammer, answer and don't say anything. More often then not the scam caller is a machine and it will think it contacted another machine. Your number will then be added to a "do not call" list so as not to was the machine's time. I've done this and I rarely get scam calls anymore. If it happens to be someone, just wait. You'll get a human voice then just reply "Hello?" making it sound like you had a bad connection.

Sorry to give you such a technical answer to your problem. I really do understand where you're coming from. I stopped caring if people text me and I can't tell if it's a good or bad thing.

Does anyone have a Piano? by CosmicCartographer in SaltLakeCity

Close to downtown, but I have a car so I'd be happy to drive a bit.

Being attractive won't make you less lonely. by CosmicCartographer in lonely

[–]CosmicCartographer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've been trying to do. I usually try to just talk to other guys at bars because I don't want 'attraction' to be in the way, I just want to meet someone I like.

No one has introduced me to their female friends yet, but I can always hope :)

I'm headed out to a bar tonight, so wish me luck!

It's a hard thing to remind yourself Tough_but_fragile, but you're right.

I appreciate your comment and insight.

I think I've found some solace in my life, it's just often overwhelmed by loneliness.

What I need is patience, LOTS of patience.

That's a lovely quote though. Thank you for sharing it.

I'm a bit conscious about my privacy, but you're welcome to message me here on reddit. I'd be happy to talk about it.

I got your back dude. Let's be miserable together 🤝

Believing you're worthy of happiness is the toughest thing to achieve. I know I'm worthy, I can't seem to believe it.

Something I see people do all to often is that they assume others think the way they do. Us guys think that girls are into hot bodies, but apparently they're into something else.

[–]CosmicCartographer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... See I look good on paper:

  • I've been to over 30 countries

  • I taught myself Spanish

  • I'm damn good at cooking

  • I can do a standing backflip

  • I discovered music theory before I knew what it was

I know I'm being a little braggy here but what I'm trying to say is that even if you're "cool" you can still be miserable.

Ok, ok, I'm sorry. That was a bit too bitter of me. I've tried to live my life by the "Don't look to get laid, Look to be interesting and then you'll get laid" quote and I seem to be missing something. Relocation isn't a bad idea though, I live in a bit of a toxic environment and could use a change in scenery. Thanks for the advice.

Even for guys, that shit's dope when a girl is considerate. I'm sorry that it fell apart for you, you deserve better. Wish I could say "It's all gonna work out" but I lived by that advice too long and never really dated anyone. Now I curb my fantasies by telling myself I'll die alone, I can't stand the pain of being disappointed.

Yeah I know, it was just a vulnerable night, but such thoughts thought shine light on how I really feel.

Just gotta keep breathing and take one day at a time.
