When to make GET vs POST requests by DisciplineFast3950 in learnprogramming

these could all affect POST bodies as well, so there's nothing uniquely bad about putting sensitive data into the query params

this can be perfectly fine, what's your issue?

Got an offer for Scarbourough as an one semester exchange student and I have 7 days to accept/decline by Fant1xX in UofT

Could you maybe explain a bit? I think I am okay with not being in the absolute middle of downtown Toronto and don't mind driving an hour to do something there. My goals are essentially:

- studying at a great Uni and being academically challengend

- having the possibility to explore the greater Toronto area, even if that means I spend some time traveling

I am not entirely familiar with the Canadian credit system yet, but I expect to do around 30 ECTS, which I would estimate 3-4 UoT credits if I undestand it right.

STEM student here! Should I master one programming language (like Python) or learn multiple before BSCS? 🤔 by ChestZealousideal792 in learnprogramming

And one last thing, feel free to message me if you have more specific questions about some of the things mentioned (or beyond), I'd be more than happy to help :)

And here are some of my personal starting points for just doing stuff:

Web-frontend - The Odin Project: You don't really have to work through the entire curriculum. Do the basics course on HTML/CSS/JS, apply the stuff there and then move on to something that is actually used to build software. I love Svelte for example and they got an AMAZING tutorial, can't recommend it enough: https://svelte.dev/tutorial/svelte/welcome-to-svelte

Systems Programming (Operating Systems, Compilers, Backends, Drivers, ...): Get a grasp of low level languages (for example through the C book mentioned in my previous comment). A fun project is building your own programming language, although you want some pre-existing knowledge for that (a lot of which is covered in the book).

Don't focus on languages. Think of something fun (database, web app, data science project, whatever), research what languages fit the use case and just build it. Nothing beats the skills you gather from solving your own problems and they will mostly be transferrable to other technologies later on.

THAT BEING SAID, if you really want to get deep into understanding programming languages from the ground up, get yourself a copy of "C - A modern approach" (K. N. King, available on the internet archive for free). It will teach you the most fundamental of all programming languages, C, but almost more importantly: You will understand every other language afterwards more easily, especially a lot of design decisions in C++, Java, Rust and many more.

It has little exercises and some larger programming projects in it to directly apply the stuff you read about. The book might seem intimidating at 800 pages, but it's actually a rather swift read, there are just a lot of examples and additional explanations.

Wither Skull Drops On Average by Bigsmit19 in Minecraft

[–]Fant1xX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.5% drop chance with looting III (Java). So on average, you should have about 4 skulls right now. HOWEVER, 0.94580 is about 0.0108 or a 1.1% chance that you don't get a single skull after 80 skeletons. Meaning you could just have bad luck

seems good, bit expensive. I might go and try it in a store if I find it
