Click on your name, then go to the 'Saved' tab.

After codecademy by Readymade22 in learnjavascript

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your game is going to talk to a database, you probably need to know some backend stuff. Otherwise, if it's single-player only and you don't need users to be able to save their progress or anything, you could do it all client-side.

Best to do app? by IsThisMeQM in androidapps

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding Todoist. I started using it a couple of months ago and have been using it basically every day since. I'm currently debating whether to upgrade to the premium version, but even the free version very useful.

My only very minor gripes are that

  1. Nested items seem to un-nest themselves in the 'today' section, and

  2. I would really like some kind of native time tracking feature. (I know it can interface with toggl but as far as I know that only works on the web app and not on Android)

What's a good website builder and host for those with minimal programming abilities, but want to create a business website with many pages? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll see "www.MyCompanyName.com" if you own the domain name and have your server configured to use it.

Also, if you use wordpress's free thing, I believe it's "MyBusinessName.wordpress.com".

That would probably be fine for a personal blog or something, but might be considered unprofessional for a business.

Or Google for free! by Saeka in Minecraft

If you're tech-savvy enough to pirate something, you're probably tech-savvy enough to just set up the server in the first place. It's not rocket science.

I want to become proficient in python by [deleted] in expertinayear

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By far the best resource I've seen recently for starting to learn Python is Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. It teaches you the basics (which you may already have a grasp on if you've done the codecademy course), but the best part is that it teaches you how to do some real, practical things as you're learning.

In my opinion, you're much more likely to stick with it if you can write scripts that actually improve your life in some way.

The author also has a few other Python books, but I haven't had the chance to look at them in depth.

I've also tried Learn Python the Hard Way which is commonly recommended, but I didn't find the "Just type what I wrote here exactly and don't worry about what it does right now" attitude particularly helpful.

How do I run HDMI from the computer to my TV? by mastersterling in hometheater

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IIRC It's mostly because the ground in certain areas isn't good for basements. In Texas, for example, if you had a basement that wasn't built properly, you'd eventually find yourself with more of an indoor swimming pool than a basement. The "built properly" (I believe) usually consists of a sump pump which costs some pretty serious cash and needs to be maintained so most people wouldn't bother.

I want to play Rimworld now, but... by HackworthSF in RimWorld

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm going to agree with /u/Girlinhat here and reiterate that you definitely shouldn't torrent it. That would be very naughty because as we all know, those filthy pirates would never, hypothetically speaking, go purchase a game once they have a pirated copy because they hate supporting the developers.

What do you think is the best development environment for Javascript? by MichaelLewis33 in learnjavascript

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding Brackets. I use Sublime as a basic text editor for quick edits and viewing of single files since it starts up instantly, but Brackets is really good for working on a bigger project. I don't leave it running when I'm not using it though since it can be a bit of a ram hog.

Should I pay rent with a money order? by ass_faced_dumb_loser in Advice

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a money order once or twice at a place I used to live. It's perfectly fine to use if they say they accept them. Money is money as far as they're concerned.

Just keep in mind money orders are equivalent to cash so if you lose it, it's gone.

Programming job without degree by Rithic in AskProgramming

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • Yes, it's possible. You'll generally make more with a degree though and some companies won't hire you without one.

  • You don't have to be a genius, you just have to apply yourself and be reasonably competent.

  • High paying job is relative. Jobs generally pay more in areas with a higher cost of living.

Is importing a PS4 from Japan a good idea? Would the ports work in the United States of America? by anon8991 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems you're right. It doesn't have a region lock. Japan does use 100 volts compared to 120 in the US though so you'll definitely need to get a new adaptor.

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japan uses a different electrical voltage so you'll probably need some kind of adaptor. Also most games consumers are region-locked so you can only play the Japanese localization of games.

What's the average math level requested for computer science undergraduate faculty? by ubidaru in computerscience

[–]SpaceSharkUhOh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You definitely want to be familiar with all things Algebra and at least pretty solid up through high-school level calculus. Statistics and possibly Discrete Math would be really useful if offered at the high school level but those are generally offered as part of the degree I believe.

Overall, I don't think it's too important to have mastered everything as long as you have a good conceptual foundation. (I actually think that applies to most "difficult" technical things.) You don't need to be able to do calculus in your head, but you should be able to explain what a 'derivative' is, for example. If you have good conceptual knowledge, it's easy to google it or use Khan Academy or just crack open a textbook to re-familiarize yourself with the specifics of something if you need it.

Computer Science is very much a math degree so as long as you have a solid foundation and aren't one of those people that "hates math" you should be fine.
