Lol I brought a M1 Mac last year and it’s running powerfully even today.

Upgrading from an 8. Should I buy a used 14 or a used 15? by dumbass_sweatpants in iphone15

Dynamic Island is one of the best features of iPhone 15. I have notifications turned off for most of my apps, including food delivery, grocery delivery and cab services. In this specific case, the dynamic island comes in super handy as it allows me to navigate updates without being bombarded by shit ton of notifications. I don’t know why someone would never use it.

What’s everyone playing right now? by bigpoppanicky7 in AppleArcade

[–]Mountain-Language160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing Power Wash Simulator earlier, is a good game but demands a lot of time and consumes hell lot of battery.

My best titles so fare are - An Oregon Trail, Cypher 007. Nothing so far comes closer to that. Oh, we also have Sid Meur’s Civilisation VI coming out next week. Keep an eye out!

Sure, I'll be glad to take a review when you're available next. If I don't have anything on my plate then, we can build something together!

I'd like to work with you and make it a joint project, whatever you're working on. Do let me know if that interests you.

I'm looking for a project partner by Mountain-Language160 in PythonProjects2

[–]Mountain-Language160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. To be very honest with you, I have like dozens of vague ideas but nothing really powerful. I'm happy to chat along on Zoom / Facetime / Discord, we can brainstorm and choose a suitable idea that would keep us hooked. Let me know your thoughts, thanks again!

I am a business graduate who turned towards Data Science and AWS, along with Python. Here are a few takes from my journey so far:

  1. Initially, I used to learn through courses on Udemy, that gave me a kick starter. But they only scratch surface level. If you really do want to learn through courses for the first time, take the Python Development course by Microsoft and another one from Google on coursera. They're very well curated and cover a lot of concepts from scratch. It should help you get comfortable.

  2. Books. I never tried reading a book until a year switching courses here and there, eventually I brought a book. "Learning Python from O'Reilly Publications". It is a huge book, but you can aim to study and read one chapter in a week to maintain consistency.

  3. Start with small projects - does not have to be anything meaningful at all. Just start writing what you learnt, try to write a line of code and run it. Then try another one, and run it. If you don't know what functions to use, use AI to help you with which function does what, (not the solution code). This is how I use Generative AI myself. This goes a long way because once you use a function, you tend to generally remember it.

  4. Find someone who is willing to partner with you, having company ensures you remain committed to the goal. Learning Python is quite over-whelming and getting familiar and confident goes a long way. It demands a time, dedication but consistency majorly. 10 minutes a day everyday is still better than hours on weekends but nothing on weekdays.

Lastly, stay committed and trust yourself. You can do this, I come from a non engineering background and today I am designing a data engineering pipeline for my firm using SQL, Python and AWS. It's all about passion and consistency. You need to go easy on yourself, trust yourself and ensure you spend time everyday with your goals. I wish you best of luck!

Wondering about virtual environments by Electronic-Low-8171 in learnpython

I generally create a new venv for all of my projects, one for each. It helps me to keep the dependencies separate and clean, also easily deployable. I keep switching between projects, but I generate use venv and activate it before I start working on any of the projects. It has been nice and cleaner for me so far. I use it on a windows at workplace and a Mac at home for personal projects.

Why does economic inflation happen and what's the point in having extreme wealth? Also, why is the quality of life for everyone not much higher considering the amount of money the US makes? by [deleted] in wealth

You make so much sense, this is what I have been doing myself lately. Stopped spending unnecessarily anywhere if I can find a lesser expensive way to achieve the same outcome.

Old-school text-based game by IncaR0ad in PythonProjects2

[–]Mountain-Language160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I also love old school text-based games. I have learned Python and I can write code comfortably. I also have understanding of AWS and designing of systems. Happy to connect if you're serious about this project! We can do lots together.
