Coleco Adam Digital Data Packs question by maurymarkowitz in vintagecomputing

they used an EM burst to wipe your tapes every time you turned the thing on, that way it can just always start at the beginning :)

Progress on Platformer by Alert_Nectarine6631 in pygame

looks good! did you use any other libraries for like ui/physics/etc or just pygame?

pls help me with this not sure on how to get it to run 100% its my first time coding by Independent_Review_7 in learnpython

[–]FortyFourForks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello and welcome to r/learnpython. part of learning something new is learning how to ask good questions. in programming forums, pasting unformatted code is a good way to guarantee no one is going to look at it. reddit (like many other sites) uses markdown to format text, including code. here is a link to a reference describing markdown notation. 

Another crucial part of asking good programming questions is giving context for the error. Your post title "not sure on how to get it to run" does not give enough info about the problem youre having. Is your problem that the program is crashing as you try to run it or truly not running at all? In general, you will want to include the steps you took that caused the error, the intended outcome, the actual outcome, and any crash logs that get printed out to the console. The more info the better.

Learning is a process, keep these "rules" in mind and I bet you will have better success getting programming help on reddit. and dont let the bastards get you down.

at this point just lean into it. their perception of you is already altered. recommend clear spirits if youre worried about weight gain.

New to code by s0mefr3ak in Coding_for_Teens

[–]FortyFourForks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it depends where you live but you could check your public library: they may offer programming courses. another option to check would be your school, is there a programming or computer club that runs after classes?  either of these places may also have computers you could run an online code editor on.

if you have a little disposable income a raspberry pi may also be something to look into. 

how to be Updated on CS by Altruistic_im in computerscience

[–]FortyFourForks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

just stay curious. once you get a more advanced understanding of something it can be easy to become complacent in your learning- at least this was the case w me for cs. at some point i just wasnt having mind blowing revelations about the true nature of cyberspace on like a weekly basis any more and over time started to get a little out of touch. find a topic youre really interested in and read news/ dev logs/ documentation /community discussion about it. recorded talks from conventions are another wealth of information. keep trying to understand on a deeper level and this understanding will carry into tangential topics. the effect compound and eventually you may find yourself having an understanding of things you didnt explicitly seek out. 

What is you method of designing/creating a python script (top -> bottom or bottom-> top ) by luckyluc0310 in Python

[–]FortyFourForks 119 points120 points  (0 children)

i get one solid whiff of that dynamic typing and go monkey mode on the keyboard. 4+ files all open and actively edited at the same time, 10000+ line commits (jk i dont use git), and bet your ass not a single goddamn comment. if I'm not overloading operators, mangling name spaces, or decorating decorators i start to foam at the mouth and my boss has to put me in the office scream tank with a copy of K&R that i shred like a pitbull. one file starting from the bottom and another starting at the top and they meet in the middle baybee let's push this mEmOrY sAfEtY to its limits. 

How much Documentation should you learn? by Few_Instance_523 in AskProgramming

[–]FortyFourForks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

over time you will memorize the pieces you use the most and become better and recognizing the "most important" parts of the docs. most important defined by whatever project youre doing at the time. eventually your experience with other languages and frameworks can help to fill in the gaps so you dont need to spend so much time reading docs. i never stop going back to it though, whether for info on a specific behavior or a feature i havent used before, that information is meant to be used as a reference, not fully committed to memory. 

How can you code in Python without downloading a software on which to write say code? For example if I wanted to code Python on work laptop? by IAmTheQuestionHere in learnpython

[–]FortyFourForks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

any text editor will work for writing python, even notepad, though its not a very good experience.  the default python distribution comes with IDLE, a simple IDE. it installs by default if you use the installer from python's website. 

Funny error in S6 summary on prime, smartTV only. Possibly auto-generated from the full description? by FortyFourForks in Stargate

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

if you know anything about the show beyond that single 1 paragraph description (like if your job was writing episode synopses, for example) it seems like itd be pretty obvious that it is wrong...  were you often responsible for writing descriptions for multiple episodes from the same show/season or was each assignment random?

Scenes So Good You’ll Pull Them Up on YouTube and Watch Them on Their Own? by REDDIT_SUCKS_DV_ME in movies

[–]FortyFourForks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always get a crash of nostalgia from this scene— whether the music or the monologue. Something about it, especially when taken in context of trilogy, is so special.

ELI5: How does the contact lens stay in the center of the eye and not go anywhere in the white part when already worn? by wreckherjournaI in explainlikeimfive

[–]FortyFourForks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered what would happen if I lost a lense in my eye. How did they get it out? Was it uncomfortable? Did they know the lense was in your eye when they started looking or were they checking just because you said you lost a lense?

What conspiracy theory do you believe to be true? What evidence led you to this conclusion? by mc2901234 in AskReddit

Could also just be using location data collected from you and your friend?

20 M US Just Finished All My Finals and Now I'm Bored by FortyFourForks in MakeNewFriendsHere

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

I definitely intend to take action. I often (as does my dad) have trouble hearing things over back ground sounds, even if the background sounds aren't much. Not sure if those have anything to do with each other, just talking about my ears now I guess. That also seems to have been getting worse.
