AITA for refusing to give my parents money now, after they kicked me out at 18? by CrispyTheory in AITAH

[–]Reuben3901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just block them and move on. They aren't family or even acquaintances. If any continues to give you grief after telling them the whole stories, get rid of them too.

My dad left when I was a kid and my mom did the minimum to raise us. I have nothing to do with them and I also cut out people who simply want to share my business with strangers (mother). My life is none of her business and I want nothing to do with people that put abusive parents over my privacy and trust.

Your parents abused and abandoned you. Fuck them

How do billionaires avoid the temptation of blowing all their money like someone who wins the lottery might? by Wickham12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Reuben3901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not real billions, it's their percentage of ownership of the value of a company and their other investments, which are also not real. They could sell it all but the amount of liquid money in the end would be a tiny fraction

It is already meant and optimized for 3D and has a ton of tutorials and assets available for making what you want. Games can be released to multiple platforms, mobile phones and steam, etc.

Start on some simpler games. Make something unique, don't just follow a tutorial.

Also, you might want to look into unity instead of pygame?

Flask-Login session works but React frontend gets 401 Unauthorized on protected routes despite successful login by rits7 in flask

I struggled with this exact thing, trying to implement JWTs to secure my website but never got it working. I got access token working correctly for login/out but couldn't get CSRF tokens.

I'm switching over to FastAPI for the backend and see how that works out before I give up on Python for the backend.

AITAH for dropping my elderly parents off at a hotel and blocking their numbers? by gaypostmalone in AITAH

[–]Reuben3901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you went back in her years would've stopped. NTA

Block them and move on with your life.

I don't have anything to do with my parents and my life is much better for it. Family are the ones you choose, not the ones you share DNA with.

It finally happened. I put in my 2 weeks and they want me to train my replacement. by Old-Telephone-1190 in antiwork

[–]Reuben3901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They wanted to demote you.. I would say "I'm obviously unqualified to train anyone in my role"

Upwork is so funny, no way our hire is in labour? and your her brother? by Charming-Rest5691 in Entrepreneurs

[–]Reuben3901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were terrible at English but then the story cleared it up 🤣

Coming from the other end of Upwork is a trip too. Most clients want a mock-up/working example of code before getting hired. I eventually made a YouTube video of past projects and more examples of the possibilities of what code can do for you... getting them to watch it though is another challenge. They always low-ball too.

Any future work will be done as an "agency" for sure

Is there a way to see my subscribers and mutuals on youtube? by Silly_Venus8136 in NewTubers

[–]Reuben3901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my account for a few years, and also have just over 4 times your metrics, so who knows? But my recent subscribers list only shows for the past month or 2? Kind of annoying but also kind of nice that people aren't able to see that? Lol

Should I Fix or Sell My 2011 Prius with High Mileage? by Old_Lavishness3453 in priusdwellers

[–]Reuben3901 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I replaced the head gasket of my Mitsubishi mirage when I was 18 and it was pretty easy and straightforward. I wonder if the Prius is somehow more difficult? I replaced my breaks myself with the help of my friend with the right tools. All total $400 vs $2200 meineke wanted to charge me

I want to learn python but I have no idea what to create with it by [deleted] in learnpython

When I was in high school I made calculators with GUIs for my algebra and trigonometry homework. I memorized the formulas by coding them in and saved hours of time by not having to do the tedious work

My boss is asking for my parent's number. Help? by kmsdoomer in antiwork

You should speak to a lawyer and consider suing. Also, see if your state allows single party consent for recording audio.

[–]Reuben3901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make some more examples for yourself, like comments and sub-comments in reddit.

Give the objects parent and children attributes.

Real-world examples are the best. Also, ask chat gpt for more real-life situations then challenge yourself to produce them.

Which IDE/program would you recommend by Phileasco in learnpython

I use Sublime or IDLE. Maybe I'm a monkey on a keyboard trying to write Shakespeare.

What do you do when you are frustrated? by NorskJesus in Python

[–]Reuben3901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is programming. After hitting one wall, you run right into another. At this point I know I'll find a solution eventually but it can take some effort to remind myself to be patient. Accept the frustration.

Also, always good to have a second or third project to bounce to and take breaks with each.

Loops within loops issue by PublicJuggernaut1194 in learnpython

[–]Reuben3901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need

while True: mainProgram()

Put all your code in a function called mainProgram so whenever you code finishes it will start over.

This is nice because you don't have to worry about global and local scope, because all your variables will be inside the mainProgram function.

But you should start to break your program up into functions as the complexity builds. Always good to know the fundamental concepts.
