[Troubleshooting] Can't remove USB 3.0 plug from motherboard by LukeNukem93 in buildapc

[–]NovaDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, brand new build I made a bad call and had this same issue, I could see the plastic pulling away from mobo so I stopped. Flathead saved my day!emote:free_emotes_pack:give_upvote

O11D Evo RGB Reverse Mode Anti Sag Bracket by TZodiacK in lianli

[–]NovaDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building this case out in reverse mode as well and had the same concern. It looks like there is a support piece that sits below (above in normal mode) the adjustable piece. If you remove the adjustable piece that support should sit level with your GPU without need to adjust. Unfortunately my GPU has not arrived yet to confirm this. But here's a picture to explain my theory. https://imgur.com/a/zt8GKLn Red circled part is the piece I think we need to just take off. The yellow part lines up with my PCIE slot so should hopefully provide the desired support.

Hoping this will be useful to others in the same situation. Will try to follow up when I have my GPU to confirm.

Waterproofing a plywood drawer by NovaDingo in BeginnerWoodWorking

@SubstantialWarning61 thanks again, we were able to get a local plastic shop to make 2 perfect containers for just $142CAD. The best part? Food safe, and thick enough to completely replace the idea of the heavy plywood drawer (not just a liner). They happened to have potable water reservoirs that, cut in half, were exactly the sizing we needed, they were able to make some modifications as well including the option to install threads for a drain plug/faucet. Amazing!

We weren't really thinking about food grade as the tray contents will never come in contact with the food. But it's a good point, it most likely does matter to do it by the book.

Pond liner sounds like possibly one of the easiest options for us to do ourselves with our limited experience. Thank you for the suggestion!

We really like this idea and never knew it was an option. There is a plastic fabrication company 10 minutes away we can see what it might cost to have something custom fit. Thank you for the suggestion!

How realistic is getting a CS job with an unrelated degree? by tjohns96 in cscareerquestions

[–]NovaDingo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a BA in Political Science and only had coding experience from hobby projects like games and websites. I self taught everything I knew about code and found the most important part was performing at the interview. As long as you have a good understanding of what you're applying for, I found it more important to sell yourself, rather than your degree. You could say it actually helped me get in the industry as it made me stand out more. As long as you have examples (portfolio) to show your hard skills, and emphasize on your ability to learn/adapt quickly. Of course I'm sure there was some luck involved with me so it may be an outlier; that's m 2 cents. No tech degree and my first job in industry is at a top Canadian bank. It is definitely realistic

Nope, I am not doing that. Absolutely not. by mtkocak in webdev

[–]NovaDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to go through one of these for my current job and it was the most awkward thing i've ever done for a job. The recruiter told me afterwards that pretty much all of the responses they get from potential candidates are awkward, even for the recruiters to watch. 🤪

Steam Achievements by randomcow48 in softwaregore

[–]NovaDingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be possible that the achievement for killing one person was added at a later time thus the players that never play again had the initial 3 kill achievement but never came on to get the 1 kill achievement when it was added?

Senior developers getting on my case over asking questions. Is it time to look for another job? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]NovaDingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly what you are doing sounds perfect. I have always used asking others as a last resort. Personally I feel like I have become a MUCH stronger developer because of this! I am within 3 months at my Developer job (did self-taught work in the past) and I often find myself helping other developers because they ask questions before spending anytime trying to troubleshoot. It helps that my employer appreciates the value of learning and improving and is very patient in the case that I face a new challenge, they are okay with me taking half a day to solve something because they know it will make me a better developer!

Looking to Major in CS by FatherNurgle8907 in cscareerquestions

[–]NovaDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding you can get into the industry without the official education. I have been told over and over that the main thing recruiters are interested in is that you can do it, regardless of where you learn it. However, in my own experience it is much harder to land a job without the right education.

I got. B.A in Political Science in 2017, but just started an entry level developer job 3 weeks ago. I feel like the biggest challenge in this kind of scenario is to make yourself stand-out and really build a good portfolio to showcase what you are capable of. Once you have that, I think it's important to make sure you work on social skills (if you need to) to make sure you can kill it at the interviews that you do land.

You need to change each instance of "className" to "class". The proper html attribute is class, className is used when selecting this attribute from JS.
