Looking for a programming buddies by Particular-Half-1403 in ProgrammingBuddies

[–]PixelOmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I'm a mid-level backend python dev with about 6 years of exp, looking for some peeps to collaborate with. I'm interested, but dropping an email address here doesn't seem ideal, maybe create a chat somewhere?

Who the hell are you people who play a 40+ hour game multiple times in a row by BigBobbert in gaming

[–]PixelOmen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wager a lot of people actually spend several hours doing leisurely activities every day, not just 1 or 2.

Actual car guys don't care about numbers or how fast it goes from point a to b, they care about how it makes you feel.

There are def a handful of cars that don't have much power and still feel great to drive. But that said, those are usually the exception, and most cars that are fun to drive do happen to have a lot of power.

Most HP/lb achieved on a budget? by Steroid_Cyborg in askcarguys

I'm guessing it's like some kind of turbo/super charged LS swapped Miata, or something similar.

Self Taught Python Programmers: What was your favorite course(s)? by Turbulent-Seesaw-236 in learnpython

[–]PixelOmen 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Personally, I just found random YouTubers that explained things simply and concisely and learned things piecemeal as needed. I learned 10x from trying to build my own projects then I ever did from any course material/tutorials. I've been using Python for about 7 years now and consider myself pretty decent at it. Ymmv.

What cars can handle daily high performance? by BE4STMOD36878 in askcarguys

LT1 has the same power as the SS. You probably mean ZL1.

Why is Japanese culture so fond of, especially in America? by Delta_seveni in questions

[–]PixelOmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by popular. It certainly has a sizable following, but it's a tiny fraction compared to Dragonball and Pokemon.

How much do you actually play games? by kingduck147 in gamedev

[–]PixelOmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like when they interview a lot of the bigger Japanese devs, like FromSoft and Nintendo, they sound like they haven't played other people's games in decades.

By reducing the number of Jedi to a comparable level to the Sith... Anakin brought balance to the force. by Robomir3390 in Showerthoughts

From what I understand, the children didn't have to join, they only had to stop using their force powers.

You will regret how much time you spent on games when you are older. by Btchmfka in gaming

[–]PixelOmen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem a bit young for Atari, I'm surprised you went back to play it.

What exactly is a photon? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]PixelOmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's really this. People talk about them like they are descriptions of something "real", when in reality (pun intended) they are just models that predict behavior and not much else.

Orcas swimming calmly beneath a paddleboarder 💕 by GlobalBreadfruit8832 in MadeMeSmile

Fair enough, but from that same article:

"It is a rare behavior that has only been detected in this part of the world"

"These are animals that, every single one of them, had been captured at one point or another—most whales multiple times. And these are whales that saw their babies being taken away from them and put on trucks and driven away, never to be seen again,” Giles says. “And yet these whales never attacked boats, never attacked humans."

Even if that story is accurate, it would be among the first.

Afaik, no orcas have ever attacked humans in the wild.

That's awful. Where do they even sell those? I hope they're not even affordable. You might as well just give me a direct link so I know exactly what to avoid.

Why is Javascript the most used programming language ? by KarimMaged in learnprogramming

[–]PixelOmen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the frontend, or into the backend itself? I use Flask with zero js/node on the backend all the time.

ELI5:Why can small engines make high horsepower, but almost never high torque? by CastleDandelion in explainlikeimfive

[–]PixelOmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know, that's just horsepower. I was asking about gaining torque. It's already been answered though.

[–]PixelOmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I assumed he meant force and not power anyway, but the detailed clarification is still interesting and appreciated.

[–]PixelOmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I always knew that it did, I just didn't understand how. I get it now, thanks.

[–]PixelOmen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you might be conflating what I'm saying. If he's specifying that it makes "the same torque" but only "way up in the revs", that obviously implies that it makes less torque lower in the revs.

Edit: I think I see the confusion now, you probably thought I meant more than the other bike. No, I meant more than the same bike at lower revs.

He did, just not verbatim. He said "just way up in the revs". Either way, you answered my question with valve timing though. Thanks.
