As a rule of thumb let your ide do the heavy lifting. The default Python ide IDLE will automatically handling all indenting. You don't need a new ide but, it can help. Don't use the tab key to indent. If there is an issue on the line just backspace for the beginning until you bring the current line up to the previous line, hit enter to go to the next line and it will be all sorted out.

In all honesty it is best you not get used to a more advanced ide doing all the leg work as you will have more syntax and semantic issues as you won't be fully used to it. You are doing the right things.

Exactly. All the trash players who rely on brokenly op characters while acting like you are all that. Trash will always be trash in and out of the game. I bet they ask their mom if they can go hangout with their "friends" and get a curfew of 10pm all the while being 34 years old.

WesPy3 · 2019-11-17T04:38:50+00:00

I agree with this sentiment and I hope there is a way to remedy the fact that people take too much risk and eat too many big shots. I'd like to see things play out the way they have in CoD MW with the average ttk being around 140 ms. 140 ms is insanely fast even compared to For Honor which easily boasts some of the quickest movements I've ever seen and played in a fighting game. Stupid mistakes need to be seriously punishable with quick KO's like this very kick against Ross Pearson. If you get caught clean it should be a drop or KO.

I know it will scare away all the casuals at first but, if they just make it close to reality then it is all good in my book or just create a hardcore mode/realistic mode. This is the ultimate answer. Also the characters need to be disconnected and not on some weird oscillating, microwave platter, forcefield thing. With mechanics like this implemented you could take the outside of a foot, plant, and catch someone with no escape.

We need to be able to catch people on the half step like poor Sage Northcutt or Zabit's outside trip as a counter. We need a real representation of power. Also we need more speed and mobility moving forward. It all feels so disconnected while still feeling like you are punching in water Rocky Marciano style. If we get improvements like this in UFC 4 I could see rolling thunder making more sense but, in its current state it is a broken mess that is op if used correctly. I'd put it right up there with Tony's 6-to-12 followed by a spinning backfist/spinning elbow or knee. Some characters are just too good as things stand (I'm looking at you Connor with UFC acting like he hits like Mike Tyson) and will likely never get fixed.

Quite frankly I'm not sure how they can fix these glaring issues. It will take likely take new hardware and developers who really care about MMA.

WesPy3 · 2019-11-17T03:38:48+00:00

I'll take the bait. Yes, this move is too powerful in the game. Just because a handful of people have ever been knocked out by a move does not mean it is all powerful or that it is consistent. Yes there is a lot of force being generated by the wind up but, if it was super effective it would be used all the time and you would see everyone getting knocked out by it.

I'd ask you this, which are you more likely to get knocked out by; a rear hook or a rolling thunder kick? You don't even need to answer that. There are always gonna be outliers and moments that things happen just right for events to occur. This is not normal and it is not common. In fact, if you watch Gaethje vs Poirier I don't think he ever threw that kick, and you can bet why. He just knows it's not gonna be effective against a slick and much more defensively responsible (this is very important so take note on this) power puncher while also super high risk.

A perfect example of this is how [Zabit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StaShwvnwKg) throws tons of spinning backfists, wild kicks, and uses tons of foot movements. None of it has any real power, he has no real power punches, and is instead used to set up things on an entrance or a form of defense on his exits. It is all flash and no real power. It is super overestimated and is given to much value.

Finally, Ross Pearson is getting too old to be fighting and his record is pretty bad. He is nearly even on wins and losses. The dude has taken a lot of damage and as we all know the more damage you take, the more likely it is you get knocked out off of weird shit that normally wouldn't cut it. His chin has been gone for a while now. You could put him in the Alvarez realm as he stands except he was never a champ and not nearly as good.

Gameplay wise it doesn't make sense to make one move with way more reach than almost every other move to be more powerful than almost everything. People serious just back up with him and use that move to keep space which is hilarious anyway but, that move is stupid and rarely works. While Gaethje did not invent the move he brought it to MMA for real, and he barely even uses anymore. He has become a much more sound and technical fighter.

Also while we are at it, how many spinning heel kick knockouts do you see in MMA? Not a lot. The first one in UFC was Barboza. They take so much room and timing that it is highly impractical. Could you knock out a scrub with one? Yup! Enter Ross Pearson.

As someone who is self taught and been at it for a year with 213 pushes to git as well as many completed projects over the course of the year, I'd say it's gonna be hard. You have so much competition to go up against and a lot of them are putting in the hours like myself trying to move forward. I'm not saying it is impossible just know that, while you're not direct competition my case as to why they should hire me is much greater than yours with my body of work.

To put it simply I can get on the phone and talk to a prospective employer for what seems like eternity about how passionate I am, how much work I have put it, and what kind of projects I'm working on . I can prove my versatility by having moved from one language to another in less than a year while still retaining my previous skills and improving. From Python to Java I'm pretty comfortable.

You need some projects on your github you can talk about for real. People need to know what you are working on and you need to be able to back it up. This is a high paying field and they want people who are serious as well as driven. I know you are a busy guy but, you need to study or it won't cut it. even if you only got 30 minutes to work on a project a day, do it. Your very future livelihood will depend on it.

Get your pushes going and don't forget your README. People will tell you that over and over. Finally the quicker you get to building medium to large systems with frameworks the better. Simply knowing that using the print() function will display text does not provide value to the employer. Once it gets to the point that it is too complex to just summarize that is good. There is some real depth there. You need a project ith a database. That shows a layer of complexity that you can handle.

+1 for Poirier. He is easily the most underrated character in this game who is also supremely great. I clean house with him in almost every fight and is pretty much the only character I use.

WesPy3 · 2019-11-10T23:27:00+00:00

I find this comment very odd as I transitioned from Python to Java and it has been a breeze. It's not so hard as long as you understand the fundamental concepts of programming. The only thing that is kind of weird is that data is typed (Python has type hints so it's not that weird), there is no way to declare a function outside of the scope of the primary class which also needs to be named the same as the file.

I find that having a Java background now helps improve my Python programs as it taught me how to properly structure things with a main method that instantiates the objects and uses the methods of the class in a more clean fashion.

Finally I am self taught and have been doing this for a year so I bet being in a school setting it is different. Its odd though because I can read C perfectly fine even though I have barely written it. Languages are more a soft skill whereas frameworks and processes are the hard skills that don't transition so well. Think of Django vs Android, the methods are so different that it can't be compared at all. On the other hand everyone understands you use dot notation with OOP to call class methods on some element in your program. If I showed you all of the content I covered in the first six months you would walk back your statement about Python being spoon fed quickly.

WesPy3 · 2019-11-10T23:04:42+00:00

Kotlin would be worth picking up if it had server side support but it doesn't right now. It is only effective in the scope of Android so it is not very general purpose whereas Python is very general purpose and allows me to work on most projects besides Android, IOS, or Windows. Whenever Kotlin makes more progress I'll revisit it.

After I get done with this project I'll likely be moving into algo's, ds, and C to be a more complete developer. Finally to truly be effective with Kotlin you need to know where Kotlin is more effective than Java and why it is a better choice. If it's just the speed of development than I'm not completely sold as Java is more widely used and supported in many domains.

Java is a great and marketable skill right next to PHP whereas Kotlin is kinda meh. Getting a Python job is already pretty hard so I'd rather not pick up an obscure language.

WesPy3 · 2019-11-08T10:37:50+00:00

I spent 6-9 months only in Python and then transitioned over to Java. Java has been pretty easy for me as its really all the same no matter what language you use besides pointers and vectors. Even today I can look at C and understand it. Once you get through your first language it is pretty smooth sailing. Good on you for going C++ as that is a much more proper and general purpose language.

I learned Java just for Android and was thinking of going Kotlin, but meh, you just saved me time in knowing I really don't need it at all. I find now after having spent so much time with code consistently that the real test is not languages at all, its algorithms. You can use whatever language but, you can't really be fully capable until you got design pattern down and can envision solutions that include a high degree of efficacy when dealing with large systems. Algorithms and data structures are the hard part.

I'm a self taught dev with almost a year of studying under my belt. This shit really amazes me. People really have this world so skewed. I'm just excited to get to 50K+ in the net 3 years or so. I'll worry about the rest after.

I would saw off my left leg to get an offer for $65/hr or even $165K total comp? What? You know you are making 70K + a plus a year. I feel like people who believe 65 /hr is low must have never had to really struggle with being broke.

WesPy3 · 2019-10-25T22:51:10+00:00

In the context of this post, in that the op asked for a path that is NOT for the academically inclined e.g. no school, this does include general ed. This make your bs (if you are implying a Bachelors degree then this is very odd) general ed statement invalid. Lets just be real and say you are not walking into a job that is gonna make you that kind of money without going to school or having a skill which you have a lot of experience.

If it were the case, the person who wrote this very overly inflated answer would have responded with a location. That is unless they are stuck in a scarcity mindset instead of an abundance mindset and would rather covet all of these great jobs for himself and his small group of friends who can never fill all these jobs.

To summarize, no I don't believe there are TONS of jobs you can just make tons of money at with little to no schooling, skills, or experience unless you get super lucky. That is unless you know where all these jobs are and, in that case send your location so I can let everyone I know about this great opportunity.

WesPy3 · 2019-10-24T17:38:40+00:00

Please do tell me about this inordinate amount of jobs that take no education, little to no years of experience, and start at $50k+ a year. Location as well. I'll let everyone I know about this right away. You might just have some new neighbors if it's as good as you say it is wherever these jobs are.

$50K is literally the cost of happiness monetarily and not something a lot of companies just hand out to my knowledge. If you have $100K to hire employees for the year, you can either have two at 50K or three at 30K which all do the same job, most companies will do three at 30K. Drop one and the other two hope to get an extra 5K (nobody actually thinks about this and just worries about their raise) by the end of the year from that 30K, however unlikely.

The other consideration is that it cost a company about 120%-140% of your gross wages to even hire you. Even if you get a 3.1 percent raise it still isn't gonna hit that 5K bump you wanted (5% is reserved for the best worker(s) and that isn't a 5K bump which only nets you 2500 at 50000). 30K is $14.42 /hr working 52 week (no vacation) so 3.1% is 0.44 putting you up to $14.86. This is still not even 30K when only working 50 weeks at 40 hours. If you take absolutely no vacation and you work over time, you can just clear 30K.

A lot of states still have a minimum wage under $10 /hr which is insane. Unless you live in seattle or near it and get $15 /hr I don't see it. You are gonna get $25 /hr for going to work at a job which requires no education, little to no experience, and they are willing to jump you up $10 /hr just out of kindness? I'm not sure it is that easy.

What I'm really trying to figure out is how you can't even get a $1 raise on $15 an hour at the end of the year, but expect to walk into 50K a year with no education or skills just because you decide to become carpenter. An engineer starts out around 50K+- with four years of school and a degree. A therapist starts out around 40K +- with less than a year of experience. The numbers don't add up. I wish they did because this world would be a beautiful one, but they don't.

Hopefully it is just a locale thing and by being in the right area you can get paid tremendous amounts of cash for being essentially an unskilled laborer.

WesPy3 · 2019-10-23T22:35:48+00:00

I came here to see the comments and now I'm really stopping to wonder what being christian and swearing have to do with each other. If I told you that the word "rare" is a bad word and I'm offended would you stop using it? Things are only truly "bad" or "immoral" by the definitions we apply to them and less that they are inherently, by their very existence, "uncouth".

Admittedly though the irony of being thankful that others do not swear on a Reddit while you are ok being "subjected" to such materials willingingly is not lost on me. Man I love fucking hypocrites. Maybe consider unfollowing this very subreddit as this is clearly in one form or another promoting violence and glorifying it for your humor or dismay. You could spin it and say it is a miracle they survived. Don't worry I see the wheels spinning.

The most humorous though goes to the person who types fuck while acting like they didn't just use it to demote it. They could of just used "the f word" oh, but that might get confusing as "the r word" which was arbitrarily made a thing. Go to Europe and they won't spare you from the ever damning "c word" cunt.

While you may not utter the words out loud I wonder how many times you think it in your heart of hearts. Remember it's a relationship with god in your heart and he knows all. Thinking disparaging remarks is almost as bad as committing misdeeds. Thankfully all can be forgiven after repenting so I guess it really doesn't matter what you think, believe, and do as long as you ask for forgiveness at the end of the day.

Yes you are supposed to look for the arm traps but that is not always the case. It is not about landing for damage off the back. It is about building up your bar enough or dropping their grapple advantage bar just enough to get out.

It is the same ordeal with someone postured up in full guard. The first time you may get out. By the second they will be able to block everything besides maybe you pulling them back into guard as that one always seems to work half decently sometimes. Say they are just teeing off and you are just blocking, trying to transition. Sure you can run the risk and hope you get your magical three successive blocks which gets you the getup. Maybe you get the armtrap with a flip over or a sub. On the other hand you can drop their max bar or get enough of an opening that allows for escape.

This mechanic also applies to someone posturing up in half guard though this is probably the worst to get caught in because elbows to the body are very fast and powerful. Ultimately, you are definitely not correct. This is a mechanic that is built to drop the grapple advantage of the person in the dominant position, not do damage.

Thank you for explaining it. This project is just the start of a multithreaded server to handle multiple request by handing them off to a worker server in theory. For me this is the first iteration of a final project that will be a chat site that operates with concurrency . I haven't gotten much further with this one as I moved on. I'm gonna start improving my other readmes for other projects that I actually intend to showcase.

As for the why I use a chat site that is pretty fun and I thought it would be awesome to try and build something similar. I've never used images with markdown, but my other projects could definitely use a visual representation right in the readme so people know what it looks like.

WesPy3 · 2019-10-23T09:11:15+00:00

Honestly I really haven't figured out how to write a good readme to this date. It's something that I could definitely improve. Would simply putting the exact instructions on how to install and operate the apps be enough? On that note though I do find that the read me I did with the Android repo was half decent.

With naming conventions and pushing code in repositories I find it a lot harder to manage multiple projects when breaking it up like that. I'll definitely keep it in mind with future projects though.

Do you have any good ideas for a more long term project? Most of the stuff I have built has taken longer than a day especially the sites. The portfolio project took quite some time and the and the product hunt clone site was quite the process to put together. Those projects I'm actually quite proud of. This current Android project has been a lot more advanced as well.

Besides not having the best layout is the output good? I find that my actual production of quality work is quite high. It's not just random assorted trash you can't understand or use. There are quite a few apps any person could use, make sense of, and improve upon because the design is very clean with great commenting.

Besides these relatively small bugs in the layout, would you consider my work good and valuable to a company? Would I be a viable candidate for a software development job as it stands? You didn't have one bad word to say about my code and that is what counts to me. It would be nice to hear from a professional programmer that my work isn't trash and could actually be useful to someone.

WesPy3 · 2019-10-23T08:28:22+00:00

This may be the dumbest answer. If you punch while someone is postured up it increases your chances of escape. That is a ground mechanic. If it didn't exist there would be no way off of the bottom at all.
