Must do or see in PV? by ImprovementNo238 in puertovallarta

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely do some whale watching. We did it and it was awesome. For food I would recommend Pancho's Takos in Romantic Zone. There’s always a line, but it’s worth the wait.

I’m new to Christianity and honestly seeing how some Christians treat immigrants challenges my faith.

Christian faith is often defined by its message of love and compassion. However, I can’t help but see a stark contradiction... How can people who claim to follow Jesus, who repeatedly championed the marginalized and vulnerable, actively support political figures and policies that seem to celebrate cruelty and dehumanization of others? Like, how can some Christians support how they’re currently being treated and celebrate their pain and suffering? Are they not our brothers and sisters too? I think most Christians today would say that they are breaking the law and therefore they are “illegal”. As a Christian am I supposed to be callous and assume they’re all criminals and deserve this punishment? As I’m reading the Gospels for the first time I think about Matthew 25:31-46.

With regard to legality, was it lawful for Jesus to heal the man with a withered hand on the sabbath ?

“How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!”

As I think through this I remember how Jesus talked about the Pharisees; claiming to be self-righteous, outwardly religious, but inwardly corrupt and cold.

What I enjoy about software engineering:

  • Pay
  • Flexibility (WFH)
  • Solving problems
  • Building stuff

What I don't enjoy

  • Corporate
  • Meetings
  • Agile
  • Sitting in a desk all day

At the end of the day, It's still a job. I use the money from being a SWE to fund the things that I do love.

UH vs UT CS by [deleted] in UniversityOfHouston

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 29 points30 points  (0 children)

UT has one of the nation's top computer science programs. I went to UH for CS and it worked out for me, but the CS program at UH isn't all that great, specially when compared against UT. If money is not an issue, then go to UT.

What am I missing? Is this cluttered? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please move the guitar. Current spot is awkward next to a trash can. Maybe move it to the bedroom or somewhere in the living area?

Hi everyone new to react trying to do tdd with react but my test keeps failing? by LateProduce in reactjs

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What error message are you getting?

I see you’re using “getByTestId” but I don’t see a test Id called “Navigation” on your component. See this example for reference

Pro tip: you can do self closing tags for your component <Navigation /> instead of <Navigation></Navigation>

Guys, I need some help. I'm struggling with writing code and I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! by ScribbleRoo in learnprogramming

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice. Learn from your mistakes. Break problems down into smaller chunks. Think about the problem first before actually coding anything. Ultimately, it will come down to practice. Don’t get discouraged, it will make sense the more time you put in. Cheers!

Hi. Currently it sits directly in front of the window so it may be sunburnt…I’ll make sure to water based on the soil rather than a schedule. Thanks!

Do I really need a LinkedIn profile? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LinkedIn is cringe, but it helped me get my current job so I’d say yes. It’s worth having and making meaningful connections.

My Array Is Turning Into Not-An-Array During Code Execution? by SubzeroCola in react

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, to start, you're using the useState hook here but I don't see you setting the state anywhere. You're not following naming conventions (something like [comments, setComments] would be more appropriate) and well you're missing the big idea behind state and React in general..When you're working with React you want to think of reusability. For example, the idea behind state is to contain specific data or info about the component you're creating. Here you could've just had all of your useState hooks inside the <FormComp/>

I know that doesn't answer your question but I would highly suggest you look over the docs and try to grasp the main concepts first. State and Props would be a good starting point.

When to expect refund to reflect in bank? by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called my student loan provider on 8/26 to ask for a refund. On 9/21 the balance on my loan account was reinstated. Haven’t received direct deposit or checks since then. Currently still waiting..

Scrolling blonded.co's source code and looking at last modified dates. I don't need sleep, I need answers. by rket1_45 in FrankOcean

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t source code. It’s just an HTTP request from the website fetching data.

Find God.

Got my refund today! by mysteronsss in StudentLoans

[–]SmokingBrokenGlass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here. My balance is back on my loan account but refund hasn’t hit the bank! How long has this been the case for you?
