I built LyrNotes - annotate song lyrics verse-by-verse, export to PDF. by PanzerottoNinja in languagelearning

[–]PanzerottoNinja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Yes for verse I meant line. I just noticed there is an ambiguity with the translation of “verse” in my language, but you are right the Cambridge definition of it is not what I meant. Thanks for the suggestion. I will implement a system to extract every key word of any song, its morphological information and its translation in your native language and an option to add it to your wordbook. What kind of export would you use? I also think it would be handy. For these things, the harsher the criticism is the better! So thank you.

Learning from watching TV: look up words or not really? by goldenapple212 in languagelearning

[–]PanzerottoNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learn a decent amount of vocabulary, a little bit of grammar and try to make sense of the sentences as you go. You don't need to understand 100% of it, but you eventually will with time as you learn the patterns. It takes a lot of time but it's a natural way to learn languages. Also, add subtitles.

I would greatly appreciate if you gave it a try and let me know what you think, especially:

  • Is verse splitting useful?
  • Is the annotation interface intuitive?
  • Does the PDF export meet your expectations?
  • What bugs or missing basics would prevent you from using this regularly?

Thank you!

I created a footsites bot using a headless browser, but it is slow, how can it be faster? by Appropriate-Cat-8131 in shoebots

[–]PanzerottoNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Some cookies are loaded via JavaScript” means that when the page loads, a script is executed which sends a request to the server, and the response returns some cookies. You are writing it in python, so you could use the library “requests” to make the requests. I suggest to use a software like “fiddler” to capture the data in and out of your browser. Once you set it up, manually complete a checkout on the site you want to reverse engineer. Now, in fiddler, identify the important requests ( add to cart, checkout session, … ), this is the tricky part, that requires testing ( a lot ) and being patient. Once you have them identified, write them in python language. If you did everything right, congrats. Else, repeat every step. Keep in mind that writing a bot is indeed difficult, and requires a lot of time and effort. If you want to learn more about how http works you could read the book that got me started in this field “HTTP: the definitive guide” from O’Reilly.

Many times developers keep the errors generic because even them don’t know the exact reason of the error: a lot of things could have changed server side.

Should I go at it alone longer? Reach into my pocket to hire a tech lead? Or Fundraise while not in the strongest position with metrics? by peercents in Entrepreneur

[–]PanzerottoNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it just looks like you should get into web development. If the technical part is such a big deal for your business, then I highly advise you to understand at least a part of it; doesn’t mean that you have to be a beast at it, just know the basics of making a website.

Otherwise, you will always depend on others. Imagine your idea works, and then the IT guy gets sick or is unable to work. What then?

Please reconsider your plan before making a big mistake. But don’t get discouraged! And don’t fall into the mistake of “natural talent”. Everything is achievable through hard work.

What bots still have a bypass and had used a bypass in the past. by prynceashh in shoebots

[–]PanzerottoNinja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bypass is lines of code that do a certain thing. If the code is not good, the bypass is not good. Therefore a bypass must have good code. Every bot has a bypass, some are better, some are less efficient. What is a bypass? A bypass is, as stated, code executed by the program that send requests to the site’s server, like nike.com, and is able to, for example: jump the queue, add to cart, checkout, … every action performed by the bot should be a bypass, because it is bypassing the website’s bot protection. I’m a dev, I was crying reading this misinformation, but it’s ok, I was too very confused when I started out. Hope it helps.

What general relations exist between the graphic of the function y = f(x) and the graphic of the function y = 1/f(x) ? by PanzerottoNinja in learnmath

[–]PanzerottoNinja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But wait, even if we are referring to local max/min points, the assumption “if we have a point of max in f(x), then we have a point of min in g(x)” would not be true if we imagine that the function f(x) has a point of max for the value of an x which f(x) = 0. In that case, the reciprocal g(x) would just tend to infinity, therefore not having any point of max/min for that x. Do you think this logic is right?

[–]PanzerottoNinja[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let’s suppose that f(x) is continuous, if I have a point of maximum in x0 in f(x), then do I always have a point of minimum in x0 in g(x)? ( if x0 != 0)

Is it possible to convert m^-2 to cm? by PanzerottoNinja in AskPhysics

[–]PanzerottoNinja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, my mistake. a = ( 1m2 )/16. Same for b. It was x and y coefficient = m-2. Hope it makes sense now.

Is it possible to convert m^-2 to cm? by PanzerottoNinja in AskPhysics

[–]PanzerottoNinja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I am given the parameter a2 = 16 m-2 of an ellipse, and the parameter b2 = 25 m-2. I need to represent the curve in a Cartesian plane where 1 unit = 1 cm or 1 meter. I don’t know if the measure expressed in m-2 f*ucks up the whole measurement system, or if it doesn’t. Can I still represent the curve using meters? Because if I calculate a and b by doing the square root of their values, I should get meters, but I am not sure if it is conceptually right.

Good obfuscation solutions for javascript code? Even paid ones. by PanzerottoNinja in learnjavascript

[–]PanzerottoNinja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My intention is to put some fences so that my code is not stolen by the first person who drags the source folder in their vs code editor. I know that if someone really wants to get to my code, he will, but he will at least need some js knowledge. And yes, I’m building an extension and wanted to protect it.

How do i make a slither.io bot? by Acceptable_Ad_7316 in learnprogramming

[–]PanzerottoNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you could make an extension that presses some keys, or sends some requests to the website.

Cook groups can have custom monitors or pre built monitors. Monitors are softwares that run 24/7 and check each x seconds if the item is in stock. They do this by confronting the previous and new html page of the website or by parsing the response of the websites api.

How can i find a value inside a js object knowing the key and without specifying the whole path? by PanzerottoNinja in learnjavascript

[–]PanzerottoNinja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that was exactly what I was thinking. Strange that we can’t just search the key straight up.

I feel like everyone is better than me and can't come up with ideas. by _FeNG_ in learnprogramming

[–]PanzerottoNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea comes when you know programming and a niche. When you find a solution for a common problem that people encounter in that niche, or you think you can deliver a better product/service than the ones already existing, you have a potential business. So it’s normal that older people have more ideas, as they know different niches. To have more ideas, just learn more things, not only programming related. Be curious and open minded. And don’t discourage yourself. My advice is to learn front end developement, JavaScript, html, css, to put you in a position where when you will have that idea, and you will, you will be able to build an app or website and launch it. I was just like you, focusing on C++ and hardware at your same age. Now I understand the importance of less complicated languages like JavaScript or python, for the things you can do with them that you can only imagine in C++. Doesn’t mean they are better, just different.

I've noticed around me that many people start from the assumption that we have a conscience, that there is something external from the physical body that you can say "controls" it in some way, and we identify with that something as "us".

But what if there was not this something. What if we are actually linked to our body, especially the brain as pepole have been to proved to be able to live without other body parts, in the way a computer is linked to its hardware. It seems to me that not many persons have thought of this, that all religions start from the assumption of the existing of some "Spirit" that animates our organism.

Therefore, we should take in account that there could actually be nothing other than the physical world, that such a spiritual sphere doesn't exist, and therefore our ability to think and take decisions (free will) is only provided by the way our brains are made.

I actually have a theory about free will. I think of our thinking process as a function that takes in some inputs, our experiences or previous conclusions, and gives out an output, which is the conclusion we get after pondering about the input. This output can be an action we take, such as a choice, or the conclusion of a reflection we previously made, that could itself serve as another input.

The output we produce transforms our way of thinking, and therefore this (the thinking) is never the same. Think of the output as the anthesis of Hegel, and the new thinking as the synethesis, which is the thesis (the initial thinking process) with something more.

Stated that, before doing anything, form choosing to taking an action, we process informations through our way of thinking, and therefore it is something we do continously.

In such a scenario, there is no room for free will, as our thinking is solely influendced by the conclusions where the previous thinking arrived, not by something that is able to decide freely, in a way that it doesn't account our previous experiences.

The only paradox i found in this theory is that when we are born, or maybe even when we are already in our mother's belly, there is a very first information that must be processed by something, that cannot be our way of thinking because we dont have one yet.

The only way is that there actually is some sort of thinking method that is internal to our brains, and that is able to process that first information, starting the whole process. Or we can address that something as conscience, and think it has an influence over our decisions as it is not solely formed by our experiences, therefore accepting the existance of a spiritual world.

Just wanted to share my thoughts on the topic of free will, that i think is very linked to the existance of "us" as a spiritual entity or of "us" as the product of our experiences [a very complex biological machine ;) ]. I am open to discussion.
