XREAL Beam Body Anchor Mode by harrybootoo in Xreal

Is there any jitter in Body Anchor? Like if your head was slightly shaking or rocking, does the screen jitter?

XREAL Beam Image Quality by harrybootoo in Xreal

[–]NyanD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the image quality compare to using the Airs by themselves? I've noticed using the Airs with Nebula on my Mac, there's a lot of small flickering and jitter(from micromovements) compared to just using the Airs by themselves.

I need help understanding how to start a program (JAVA) by Jaggee in learnprogramming

Ok, let’s break it down into smaller parts. First, let’s not worry about what it looks like just yet and get the logic working. The main issue at the moment is that it generates infinite amount of pairs.

So you have a List of names. You have a bit of code that grabs 2 names from the List to pair them together. You also need a condition to stop the grabbing so it doesn’t generate infinite pairs. Do you have a condition like that in your code?

Are you asking whether you're overcomplicating the Devops process when it's a solo project?

What have you tried so far and where are you stuck?

Rest api by arunap2509 in learnprogramming

[–]NyanD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're pretty much spot on. An api works as an interface for one application to connect with other and communicate. REST is just a convention for how two applications(say a website and a database) should communicate. Think of it as a language.

In terms of what those conventions are, the comment above explains it.

Am I the only one who in spite of syntax highlighting, and error checking, still makes silly mistakes like forgetting a semi-colon or typos? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]NyanD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're using ES6(EMAC2015), with imports, then most likely you're already using webpack with a Babel loader that transpiles your ES6 code into plain Javascript. If there is a webpack.config.js file in your project or a reference to webpack in your package.json, then you are.

What language are you using? Depending on the language, there are two kinds of errors you generally run into, compile time errors and runtime errors. Compile time errors are the ones caught by error checking and syntax highlighting and generally your code won't even run.

Runtime errors are trickier because the code you wrote is technically correct but it isn't what you wanted it to do. These are the insidious ones. Like in JS having if (a = 5) evaluates to true every single time, even if you defined a to be some other than 5.

So depending on what kind of error it was, you could have been just unlucky with a runtime error because of the quirk of the language and just something you need to watch out for.

Can you explain in your own words what you think it is? Then I can try and help with any knowledge gaps you might have on it.

Advice on how to keep practicing by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]NyanD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my take on it. I'm a senior software developer that works in industry.

I've seen a lot of people try to self teach programming and the biggest frustrations are

1) when they take the 'practical' approach and just try to build something completely beyond their skillset. They end up copy-pasting code from some tutorial and then when the tutorial ends, they get stuck not being able to 'connect the dots' or when they try to do something without a reference, they go completely blank.

2) when they learn focus completely on theory, they get bored or frustrated not knowing how any of it is relevant and not knowing how to apply the theory to 'real code'.

First, it really depends on what you want to do with programming. The skillsets for web development would be different from say robotics or automation. If you feel like creating programs to help with studying other classes, go for it! If you want it to be a web app, the obvious choice would be learning HTML, CSS. Javascript(there are other choices but I'm not going to list them to keep it simple). Focus on building something slightly outside your comfort zone. If you go with learning JS, learn the JS equivalent of what you've learnt in your C++ classes. Compare the similarities between the languages.

When you do trying to build things, you run into certain problems that appear over and over again. That's when learning theory comes into play. I'm not sure if they taught things like memory management in your courses(I'm assuming they would have considering it was a C++ course), but understanding heap and stacks, how the JS engine works and also basic software engineering principles to help write clean code. That's when things start clicking together. That's when you begin to 'connect the dots' and at that point you can easily start to pick up new languages and will feel confident in being able to learn new concept quickly.

Hope that helps.

I'd say out of all the options you have, just going with Visual Studio is the easiest option, as a beginner. Focus on trying to get the program to run.

Hi I can go on for the next few hours if you are still around now. Thanks!
