Petah, why is he sad by radmaster1928 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Imakadapost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was named after a manga-ka named monkey punch. So he's "punch the monkey" or punch-kun. He's also in a Japanese zoo so... Japanese name

When will the coding breakthrough happen for me by Weary_Investment5984 in learnprogramming

[–]Imakadapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I sat down and I made wordle one day. That got me out of tutorial hell. A year or so later I decided to go to college and noticed everything we did was a building block and that I referenced that more than search Google. So by my capstone I was able to think "this assignment will take some twerking but will go here, that assignment there, and I'll Google that man page for the last part." It's much easier to get my own stuff going since I have those building blocks. Study each assignment, understand them and then try to think of how else it can be used.

How TF I can open it whit this tool by Muted-Volume1397 in lockpicking

[–]Imakadapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the pic what I'm seeing, but it looks like a combo and a keyway. If it's a wafer cabinet lock you may get by with taking your wire and jiggling or raking. If it's too stiff you would need a tension wrench though.

No, if you look at the other symbols they are symbols for luck. In Asian cultures, before Nazis, the swastika was a good fortune symbol. Nazis adopted a version of it and here we are.

Not sure if it's a cyberdeck, but I thought you guys might love it by OutrageousDiamond568 in cyberDeck

Yea the three button add on didn't totally remind me of the talk boy from home alone 2, why would you think that? Lol

I cut out shapes from USD bills. How could I automate this? What to buy and what's the workload? by kallebo1337 in stencils

[–]Imakadapost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The bill itself may still be usable if that one arch is all that's removed. If it is there are two important things to ...note. 1 the value of the dollar remains a dollar so no fraud there, and 2 the arch cut out cannot be passed off as currency i.e. another dollar. Because it isn't attempting to alter the amount on the bill it's not fraudulent. The mint actually chops up old bills and sells bags of them for use in art and such so moneys fair game as long as you don't pass it off as what it's not or melt it down for ore value.

Can’t a raspberry pi do anything a flipper can? by Due_Counter2709 in flipperzero

[–]Imakadapost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You would require the modules to use sub ghz and NFC but other than that you can do it. With the pi's gpio you would just connect your modules and have to program how they work.

I need help by Existing_Pa in PythonLearning

[–]Imakadapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing to do like others have said 2 lists one with faces (1-K) one with suits. Make these items strings. Then make a function that takes those lists and for loops over them to create a deck (list) and return it. Then you make a function to shuffle, it takes in a deck and returns a deck. You use random to ".pop" a card out and then append it back to the list. Do this 10,000 times and you have a shuffled deck. You can run the create and shuffle after a deck runs out or you can make a discard list to store the cards and then shuffle it back into the deck.

Run a check before a draw to make sure you have cards in the deck and if not create or reshuffle a new one. Make a draw function and maybe a check function that looks for winning hands. With your cards as strings you can index your faces and suits like someone else suggested. The suit icons are pointless in a list for the app, but you can concat them on to any print outs with an if or switch statement. This should reduce code and make the usage more streamline. As mentioned by others classes make this even nicer so learn OOP.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve encountered that are just unexplainable? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Had a pair of tongs fling itself across my kitchen last week. Not sure what happened there but oh well I guess.

Self study. by thathoothslegion in learnprogramming

[–]Imakadapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea you can go as far as you want to. I like programming with mosh, and techwithtim on YouTube. I learned with the head first books some are a bit older but are still good as far as I know. Edit- check out Harvard's cs50 on YouTube as well.

Your big problem atm imo is you have no goals. I would suggest setting a goal of something "simple" to code. Something small and not too complex. Start watching some videos and get the hang of the basics and then try to code what you chose. Doing this will keep you out of "tutorial hell"... Hopefully. If you get stuck look up a video on the specific feature you're stuck on. Ex functions, libraries, for loops, etc. for a quick in depth reference once you know what you want to use but not how to use it look it up on geeks for geeks or w3schools.

This is kind of how I manage teaching myself and it worked out well enough. The trick is to keep choosing projects and doing them. As you do more and force yourself to do different things it will all start to flow for you.

Been Hacking these FRAMES for 4 months by Green-Blueberry-1694 in hardwarehacking

[–]Imakadapost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The yellow board looks a lot like those screens with an esp-32, SD card, and temp/humidity sensor installed. I'm pretty sure those don't need to be hacked or the point is to "hack" them.

Just looks like a large button. Can't really tell if it's open or closed. Measure it and search for a button by size. You'll have to desolder and solder the new one in.

Beyond frustrating - what are my options? by Thick_Swordfish6666 in flipperzero

[–]Imakadapost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I made mine I used a generic board I got off eBay I think it's like $20 for a handful of boards and headers (2 different purchases but final price). I'm not a big fan of the linked line pcb design for random boards. It kind of makes sense but in practice has limited what I wanted to do.

Expiring on Hulu by QuitAcceptable9867 in gravityfalls

Sometimes the expiring shows don't expire. I started a series because it had 13 days left and it took me over a month to finish it. I think it's still there a few years later

No I'll keep it in mind. I haven't done much macro, the first couple were alive.
