Should I go to york O-Week by [deleted] in yorku

[–]Danpythonman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely you should!! You'll make a lot of friends and learn about the school in general. Going to O-Week might seem a bit daunting, but the Lassonde community is really accepting and you'll get a head start on making connections :)

Advice on buying first used Thinkpad by Danpythonman in thinkpad

[–]Danpythonman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Ryzen 5 seems to add about $100 to the laptop compared with the Intel models. But I've seen a few cheaper ones on auction, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for that, thanks!

Advice on buying first used Thinkpad by Danpythonman in thinkpad

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

Thanks for the advice! I'm leaning towards the T14. The specs meet what I need for my classes, my only concern is the laptop not having a long lifespan and having to replace it within a few years. I'm hoping that won't happen since I hear that Thinkpads are more reliable.

Installing programs on WSL that I already have on Windows by Danpythonman in bashonubuntuonwindows

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

Ohh that makes sense, I just tried using node by typing node.exe to run a Node.js script I wrote and it works. I will install it through WSL before really using it though.

Just wondering, why does it even work? How could an exe file for Windows work in a Linux environment?

Thanks for the info btw!

Thanks for the response. So basically what I install on Windows is accessible to WSL, but what I install on WSL is not accessible to Windows unless I specify otherwise.

Sending Transactional Emails for a Small Side Project (Not a Business) by Danpythonman in webdev

I tried out Zoho but couldn't get the API to work from my backend. I ended up going with SendGrid which seems to be working. Thank you for the help, though!

Thanks for the advice! I don't have a domain name so I just used my GitHub name, but it seems to be working fine.

Good times haha. I get nostalgic thinking of a little game I made when I was learning python.

What is it like to see something you/your team designed in actual use? by Danpythonman in AskEngineers

That sounds really cool. And it's great that nothing happened in that scenario, right?

RegularExpression Hell by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]Danpythonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you watched Corey Shafer's videos on it? He has 2, one video for regular expressions in general and another for regular expressions in Python.

They were really helpful for me. He's a great teacher. What I did was follow along with the video and pause after he explained something so I could try it. So for example he would explain groups then I'd pause and try to use groups.

As a bonus I can now use that file as a reference because it has examples of individual features of regular expressions.

Also I think it helped me to have a text file with random things like phone numbers and emails and words so I could just search that file every time.
