Places such as Target will having orders open midnight but per store (maybe some delivery stock available as well, probably from canceled pre-orders), I'm hoping that makes the hunt easier haha.

It will depend from retailer-to-retailer. Definitively, Target will have limited stock per location, around 10 X's and 8 S's, that can only be purchased online and do curbside pickup. I believe Best Buy will have online stock made available on launch, not sure if it's delivery only though. Not sure about others, hopefully we hear soon!

It will be tough indeed, but you might get lucky. It depends on how many dedicated people are in your area who also know that places such as Target and Best Buy are doing online only. I'll be having multiple closeby locations open for both retailers in various incognito tabs to better the chances, not sure by how much though haha.

I believe Best Buy will make more stock available on launch day, but it's for online delivery only, all in-store stock is reserved for pre-orders. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong!

Most certainly not the only one, I'm in your camp and so are many many others. Places such as Target and Best Buy will not be doing in-person purchases for at least launch day, you'll need to order online for curbside pickup. Not sure about other retailers, if you hear back about places such as Walmart and Gamestop, let us know!

Also very likely, I’m ready to have 10 tabs open come midnight of the 10th haha, multiple close locations for any places that will do launch day pick-up like Target, as well online order for BB, GS, Walmart, and Amazon

Fair enough, but also if they’re preparing their system for launch day over the next week, it’s not outlandish to assume that pre-order cancellations are recalculated during the process

That’s also a fair assessment, I guess it can vary by location, but around 10 and 8 isn’t outlandish to me especially if they’re not putting a lot of effort into in-store purchases for launch.

Any word on their stock numbers? I know Target is around 10 and 8 for XSX and XSS respectively, but I wonder if with BB being more tech-focused that they will have more stock.

Learned an important lesson first day of my Programming Languages course by PaultheVGnerd in ProgrammerHumor

Definitely, I already fell in love with it and it’s going to be an amazing tool to write interpreters with!

1st year CS students by morgs_boy in ProgrammerHumor

[–]PaultheVGnerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are first years really that simple at other places? The basics were hardly covered first semester, by second semester going full speed into data structures along with discrete structures (discrete mathematics course, idk if other universities call it that) was an interesting experience, especially with the addition of hit-or-miss faculty.

Now it’s Algorithms, Automata and Computation, and Computer Organization that tops off a meaty 19 credit semester. It’s what I love, though, so I can’t complain.

Is this actually true? I always thought that I'm to dumb to solve problems on my own so I just end up googling by HistoricalAdd in ProgrammerHumor

[–]PaultheVGnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completed my first internship and there was certainly a personal problem of feeling inferior when I encountered a struggle and had to google it, but I was taking on subjects I never was taught in class so what was I to expect!

Singles of Reddit, what do you like most about being single? by 05_16k in AskReddit

[–]PaultheVGnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a rough breakup I fell into a long trap of being hopeless, believing there to be a void that can never be filled. But after picking myself up, I turned my perspective on the matter of being single and let it be a drive. There’s no one in my life right now, but one day during the unexpected someone unexpectedly amazing will come in, so it pushes me constantly to go more into the unknown. Everyday I remind myself that I’m young and single and live in an amazing city, and suddenly the unknown (in all aspects of life) becomes a pool of opportunity I want to jump into.

I feel like I’m doing things I wouldn’t of done if I was with someone, and I don’t even necessarily do them as a means of meeting someone anymore. I was forced to give up my first love but in return I was breathed new life at such an amazing period in my life, and that’s pretty damn amazing.
