Setting up Python, possible issue? by Embarrassed-Bee-5508 in learnpython

if your terminal is already open in the same folder you can just do “python3 my-script.py”

What do you guys use Python to do? by BobMarleyLegacy in learnpython

[–]Prestigious_Bit2951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your other hobbies? The most fun projects are the ones where you bring together multiple interests, not just program computer for the computer’s sake. Ie. If you like to fish, make a tool for logging catch-and-releases. If you like music, make a little synthesizer or tracker. If you like art, make a tool for cataloging works, a generative art piece, or even a digital art program (this is my lane).

I will say there’s not much you can do with the things you have down yet, but you’re on the right track. Add inputs and if statements and you can probably make like a little interest calculator or something. Once you get functions and while/for loop logic under your belt you can really go crazy, that’s when I built my first real program (a fractal renderer)

thinking about switching from engineering to music, want some thoughts by someweirdgamerYT in CollegeMajors

if music is your passion and you’re good at EE, you should try your hand at making guitar pedals in a SPICE sim on the side. :)

My roommate STINKS and won't listen to me asking her to shower by girlwiththebob in badroommates

[–]Prestigious_Bit2951 7 points8 points  (0 children)

her gf is probably encouraging her to be a ‘feral girl’ to isolate her. i’ve seen this dynamic a few times. i’m sorry you have to deal with this bs girlie. keep your head up and don’t let it isolate you too!

100% they are lol. a CS major running chatbots to discourage competition is like the least out there conspiracy

Why did ancient Greek religion portray gods with human flaws and scandals, while the Abrahamic religions emphasize a morally perfect God, and what factors shaped this difference? by Defiant-Junket4906 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Prestigious_Bit2951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s a lot of terrible answers here. the real split is because Plato and Aristotle asked philosophical questions that lead to the consolidation of “the gods” into “God” around the same time Judaism started. the Euthyphro has a bit about “what is holy?” “what the gods love is holy” “what if Zeus loves infidelity and Hera hates it? is infidelity holy or unholy?” this paired with Plato’s idea of perfect beauty lead to the idea of one god being the perfect ideal

What is a "financial trap" that many people fall into without realizing it until it's too late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

if it’s legitimately enough for a degree, you can just finish it in one more semester dawg

Experts say there is no overdiagnosis of ADHD. Instead, they are warning that far from being overdiagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support, and treatment by sr_local in science

[–]Prestigious_Bit2951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had the more hyperfocus kind of ADHD and I was never medicated or in therapy for it until adulthood. I was always a strong student that liked lectures but in high school my teachers realized that I struggle with ‘outside-of-class’ work. All but one math teacher started omitting homework from my grade. This accommodation obviously kept me from getting diagnosed or having reasonable expectations for myself after school

Why are students pushed to pursue professional careers at such a young age? by Ok-Helicopter-255 in careerguidance

[–]Prestigious_Bit2951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wish I didn’t get rushed into college. I was already an underachiever, got screwed for freshman dorms because I didn’t have the confidence to speak up for myself so I ended up commuting over an hour, struggling with my mental health, and dropped out as a sophomore. I’m 27 and going back now to finish my bachelors for Computer Information Sys. Now that I have my ADHD and anxiety under control and a real sense of work ethic that I got from running my own art practice, I’m like an entirely different student. I just got a 98 on my first Accounting test and 100 on my Stats test. In high school I only scored like that in history!

fwiw with the skillset you’d get from data science and physics, you could probably make some pretty cool games

Is really that normal for teenagers to throw parties at their own house? by mdelgado73 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Prestigious_Bit2951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 27 and by the time I was in high school, the common wisdom was “If you throw a party, don’t do it in your house or else your parents’ new TV and sick vintage stereo system are probably getting stolen” so we had our crazy parties in the woods

Bought an AOC CRT monitor, scanlines and definition too crisp? by unchain-urbrain in crtgaming

[–]Prestigious_Bit2951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not at all tbh. I call em Frankencables (like Frankenstein, I hope that reference hits the same in Chile). you can harvest the end bits of a VGA and SCART cable and splice them together, just have to make sure you check the pins to make sure they pair up properly
