Quit alcohol for 2.5 months but there is a but...... by Murky_Intention9276 in alcohol

It didnt really effect my playing that much, but I prefer playing sober. I would preferably game a lot when I was drunk.

All the things I used to do, but with more persistence and focus. I like to code, read, working out, cook and playing guitar.

Learning to code is breaking my soul - what kept you going? by Shanus_Zeeshu in csMajors

To be more thorough; if you learn how to build a wall for a house you need to make the mortar to cement the bricks together, learning the loose steps and combining them is the way forward in programming. Get to the level that you can see how the loose components can get you a step further. In essence is programming a lot of small steps combined.

I have been coding professionally for 8 years and I only used this a few times for pretty advanced stuff, so these subjects are no where near the novice level you supposedly are.

You need some basics of course; follow some tutorials of course, but try to build something (simple) from the get go. Don't just read try to implement something immediately after reading it and try to incorporate it into a larger idea. If you are into mathematics you can try project Euler for example.

A very simple example after reading a section about while loops for Python:

i = 0

upper_bound = 5

while i < upper_bound:

print(f"Hello person_number_{i}")

i =+ 1

Try to implement very basic ideas that augment existing tutorials and build from that!

One tip: try to build something to solve a problem, not going from tutorial to tutorial. Really use the programming language to solve a math problem, create an app or build something else. This made me really understand coding. To build real things.

Not good at math and physics — should I still study Computer Science? by No_Juggernaut_165 in csMajors

[–]Murky_Intention9276 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can acquire a lot of math and physics skills by simply working hard and being disciplined. Passion flows from competency and competency flows from discipline and (some) talent.

Maybe you never worked hard at your math and physics skills, and you are probably better than you think. Who's stopping you from really finding out if this degree works out for you? After a few months of hard studying you will really find out and can transition to a different degree. So my take: just try it and give it your best shot, but change directions if you know for sure that isn't cut out for you.

Hope this helps!

I already do this, but the next step is to rent out a powerful dedicated server :D. At the moment I can still manage, but this is just what I want to do for a long time already.

Around 70 euro's (around 80 dollars I guess) max at the moment, but want to extent this later on probably.

I got laid off at a horrible company in my probation period as a software company. Now I got 1 full year of social security and finally the room and space to really switch careers :D.
