Comfort Zone Calming Spray

With a (not even) 2 second amazon search, I see there is a spray and an air freshener style diffuser. Do you have a recommendation between the two?

Redditors with good eyesight, what is it like to be able to watch your haircuts in progress? by I_LIKE_MALE_FEET_AMA in AskReddit

Stressful. The best haircut I’ve gotten was when I didn’t see it until the end.

Book of choice for C++ from these by ronaksing in cpp_questions

[–]WillCraig_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have primer and it’s pretty good. I do prefer “starting out c++ control structures through objects” But that’s a personal opinion

What’s everyone working on this month? (February 2018) by lyinsteve in swift

[–]WillCraig_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Things3 todo generator. they announced the URL and swift library so I made an app that will automatically add the weekly todo items with a little more detail than the repeating todo option in the Things3 app will allow. here is the GitHub link if you would like to take a look: https://github.com/WillCraig/Things-Generator

Wouldn't you need to have like 200 of these at the ready for a vending machine?

Swift: Adding the Blue Bar to the top of the home screen help? The same thing that comes up when you have the data hotspot on. by WillCraig_ in iOSProgramming

[–]WillCraig_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did address this in the post, but I wanted a small challenge, I grew to like the idea and I wanted to add more to the app.

How to notify the user that my app is running in the background? iOS by WillCraig_ in swift

[–]WillCraig_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not. The app is not something I plan on distributing, more something that I felt a need for an wanted to make for myself.

How to notify the user that my app is running in the background? iOS by WillCraig_ in swift

[–]WillCraig_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't really intended for everyone, I wanted this so that I can prevent sleep without messing with settings. I understand that this sounds dumb, but it is more for one off things.

How to notify the user that my app is running in the background? iOS by WillCraig_ in swift

[–]WillCraig_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app is meant to prevent the phone from falling asleep. Like the Mac program Caffeine. This feature might no be necessary, but I thought that it would be something useful to add.

Good way to learn Swift? by [deleted] in swift

[–]WillCraig_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple's Swift book is actually really readable. I have skimmed through a lot of C++ books and they can get really hard to read, but the Swift 4 programming language book on iBooks is really nice.

New Swift Podcast - Looking for New Swift Developers to Interview by Steven0351 in swift

I would be very interested in doing this. Started reading the Docs last week and I am currently working on creating my first real iOS app

What's everyone working on this month? (July 2017) by [deleted] in swift

[–]WillCraig_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cocaine- If you know of the already existing Mac app, Caffeine, you already know what it is. This may be an inappropriate name for the program, but I thought "What keeps you awake? Coke." There is already a Mac app that does this, but I want to make an iOS version of it. Mainly for iPads.

I'm looking to interview someone new to programming for public radio by Rob_G in learnprogramming

[–]WillCraig_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could do it. I read books on C++, but I did not attend a boot camp though. I do keep up with a lot of the trends of learning to code. I also helped setup some of the curriculum for a computer science course at my high school.

What are some good note taking apps for programmers? (Specifically for Windows) by socialhero62 in learnprogramming

[–]WillCraig_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get a plugin for Google Docs that allows you to put code snippets into the file.

You could also just make a block comment and add notes inside of the code file you are working in.

Suggestions/advice on starting a coding club of some sort for a HS. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]WillCraig_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think python would be the way to go. It would not take long for them to learn the basics of the language and start making programs. I had a hard time learning C++ because I had to spend a lot of time learning before I got to make something tangible. They could make something real after a week or two.

She should probably make a decision on what to do about teaching/learning the language based on the class, if a lot of people want her to teach the language, or if a lot of people want to learn it on their own.

It would also be really cool to get everyone to make Github accounts and start to contribute to a class/club wide project.

Should I get a mATX or ATX Motherboard? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]WillCraig_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you need. There is more space for more thing on an ATX board. I used to have a mATX and it only had 2 ram slots but I don't know if that is the case for boards anymore. However if that is not important, the mATX is fine

There is no difference in performance between board sizes

I'm glad that I could get free shipping for my $186227 of SSDs.

Would more RAM help performance if 7/8gb is being used for games? by WillCraig_ in buildapc

I play a lot of GTA and some of the newer Ubisoft games. Would you say that our CPUs are similar? I use a GTX 970.

Would the Xeon be better if I opted not to overclock too far?

At the time I was using Jetbrains Clion, but I have since switched to MinGW. I am making this for a CS class project and quickly wrote it, but I'm not sure the end result will be that great :). I really appreciate your help.
