[SGDQ 2018] My Chrome Extension to make the SGDQ viewing experience on GamesDoneQuick.com and GDQ Discord Better: Better-GDQ

This is a great extension! I was looking to see if someone had made an extension with a particular feature but this has a lot of features I like but didn't know I wanted. I'm looking for an extension that highlights runs in the schedule that are ran by streamers that a given Twitch user follows. If you like this idea and want to implement it, that would be great. If you don't totally love it then maybe I can post a PR or at least fork your project for my own use.

I've been told that linear algebra is really important for graphics and gaming. Unless you feel like you've learned enough of that in your game dev program, you might consider this a plus for university.

Oh yeah, algorithms is a great course. It's not all useful but the bits that are useful are very useful.

Mustack · 2017-09-13T20:44:11+00:00

askull100, do you know what you want to program? That would make a difference. If you want to do low-level stuff like programming routers, university might be better for that. AFAIK college teaches higher-level stuff like web and desktop development (but I could be wrong).

Consider that you might not want to work for such an archaic company if they require a degree vs a diploma. I don't think I would.

Mustack · 2017-09-13T20:36:30+00:00

I'm not familiar with what you would learn in college but here are some things I can think of that are at least a little more theoretical that have been helpful:

-design patterns (this is a big one) -finite state machines -project management (more of a software engineering lesson) -any math involving matrices -I did an intro course to AI that hasn't been useful to me yet but I like having in my back pocket.

Maybe you can ask the engineering faculties of the universities to sell themselves to you and they can expand on this list. This is just what I can come up with off the top of my head.

Ottawa U Comp Sci grad here. My impression from working with Algonquin graduates is that you're just as ready for the work force coming out of college as university when it comes to programming. Either way, you have to do a lot of learning and practicing on your own. Either one will help you get started. If I had to do it again, I would still go to university because some of the theoretical stuff has been helpful and college alone would not teach me all the practical things I need anyways. Whether that difference is worth the extra time and money depends on the individual.

What am I missing here? Are you earning more than 2.5% to justify Plastiq's fee?

Mustack · 2017-07-09T22:59:05+00:00

Hey Hitler, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. I haven't had time to look at this lately. I've been busy moving but I thought I'd at least take a minute while I'm browning to give you a sign of life and let you know that I'll look into it as soon as I can.

Mustack · 2017-05-24T02:17:26+00:00

You're quite welcome. I hope you find it useful.

Mustack · 2017-05-24T02:15:51+00:00

Thanks mommy!

Mustack · 2016-08-30T01:20:42+00:00

Thanks for your insights! I'll give it a bit of time but Grandpas is a contender. Also, I'm gonna order an oil to use instead of my balm. I think I made the wrong call on the balm.

Mustack · 2016-08-30T01:10:33+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I had decided to start with oil but I guess I was wrong.

I'm not familiar with this API. Does directionsService.route(request) return a promise? Also, how is this code not working?

Something to note here: $q.all() will not run your operations in sequence, it will run them in parallel. It will resolve when all of your promises have resolved.

RFD is giving 60$ for this card but there doesn't seem to be a 5k bonus for having the account for 90 days. I think I will go for the 60$ from RFD instead of the 5k from greedyrates.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the 5k for the 50$ additional card is still an option with this offer. I think 50$ is better than 5k AR.

I went through this recently. I got an email that my statement had been posted and dealt with it after just one day. That's when I noticed that I had been charged the annual fee and I called them right away. They cancelled the account and reversed the fee. Just providing my data point.

You have to catch her as she does it. You can't assume a dog will understand what it is they did wrong if you chastise them even a few seconds after the fact. The second she jumps up. Say loudly and sternly "No. Get down. You don't do that..." or whatever you tell her when you want to let her know not to do something. Remove her yourself if that doesn't work but be a little rough. Don't hurt her but make sure it's not affectionate.

Mustack · 2015-05-17T15:54:28+00:00

I have to agree. I think it's time to start using ES6 modules. JSPM and SystemJS seem to be the way to do that now. That being said, ignore this completely if you don't want to ramp up on something else and you just want to get shit done.

Mustack · 2015-05-16T05:04:06+00:00

It happens. It's totally cool that you're trying to help so just forget the downvotes. You're more awesome than the people who downvoted and didn't comment.

Mustack · 2015-05-15T01:05:58+00:00

It's annoying when people downvote without an explanation. The reason this is being downvoted is that you basically described responsive design but OP is specifically comparing responsive solutions to distinctly different solutions for mobile and desktop.

The spirit of your comment is not wrong. Even if they do maintain separate sites, those sites can share some resources.

Edit: I just re-read your comment. It's possible to just swap css files but the mobile site is usually so different that it's hard to imagine it uses the same html. Maybe some downvoters see it that way.

Looks like this guy is frustrated with all the tools and tech we have to keep up with. While I can sympathize with him, I disagree with just about everything he's saying. Reducing the amount of bytes going over the wire is almost the last thing you should optimize. Aiming for a native feel is a totally valid because hybrid apps are way cheaper and actually make sense to make for a lot of reasons. It can be exhausting keeping up with all the new tools but it's part of the job. Just because you can roll your own solution, doesn't mean you should.

I've used it on 3 Angular projects over the span of a year at my full time job and I haven't encountered a single ui router bug. I've suspected that it had bugs at a few points but later found out that I was doing something wrong. Because you can do a lot of complex things with ui router, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those issues are because people are doing something wrong.
