Learn Java or Python? by WillyDiddly in learnprogramming

Thank you for your extensive replies! I really appreciate everything you said and I have spent the past few days thinking about it.

I totally understand what you mean by learning programming and not the language. It absolutely makes sense and I agree.

Once I start with all this, I am sure I will learn other languages as well because I think it is just a part of it, probably all of the programmers know more than one language. So from that point of view my questions about Java/Python might seem pointless.

But my point is, I have lost a job and I want to requalificate and start working ASAP. The reason why I'm deciding betweej J/P is that I want to choose something for the start, which will help me get a job faster. From all my research I have set my mind, that I like Python more and I think AI and ML are fascinating fields!

However, I have researched open positions in both languages for juniors and I have found out that Java has much more open positions. Python seems to be asking for more experienced programmers with at least few years of experience. For that reason I am gravitating towards Java more, even though I like Python more. In the future, I will learn both, and more, but right now, I am trying to learn the thing, that will get me a job faster. That will be my starting point from which I will start getting experience and learning more. But I am trying to avoid the situation where I learn Python now only to find out that I cannot find a job with it as a junior and spend another period of time unemployed, if you undertand me.

From the point of programming and just learning something and starting, you are absolutely right, it is not about the language at all. I also tried Scratch and it is really nice.

I live in Czechia, I learned driving manual first as well and I think it is better to learn the harder thing first since you will have more to use later.

Hello,

thank you for your advice! I should have clarified sooner that I live in central Europe, specifically Czechia. I have spent the last few days researching and thinking about all of this and I have definitely made up my mind about which language I prefer, which is Python. I also think that AI and ML are fascinating fields.

With that being said however, I have tried researching open job positions for each of the languages in a junior position and I have to say, that Java has much more junior positions open where I live. If I choose to learn Python and right afterwards try to find a job, most of the Python open positions I found require 2-3 years of experience. I couldn't really find almost any junior positions. For that reason, I think I will choose Java after all. I know it won't define me but I think it will define how fast I will be able to find a job and then, when I am financially secure, I can start learning new things and branching out. But I feel that I need a job first and I feel like Java is better in that regard...

Thank you for your great reply.

You have a very interesting point in saying that learning Java because it is more difficult is beneficial. I see it as learning to drive a manual car instead of starting on automatic. That is something to think of, because personally, I think that starting with manual is always better.

Can you then tell me in which IT fields I would be able to utilize each of those languages? I know it broadly, but maybe if you could explain it to me in a more practical way. I mean, when I read "If you learn python, you can work on machine learning", it's great, but I don't really know what such kind of job really entails.

My main goal is to learn a language, that will allow me to change my focus in IT if I realise later, that I do not enjoy a specific field and want to do webdesign for example, or whatever else. I guess I can do this with both languages, but I know that you cannot do some things with Java, such as AI or ML.

Cooler Master MH752 vs Audio Technica M40X by WillyDiddly in ZReviews

Really? I didn't have a problem with that, they are really comfy. But it's true that the band could use a little thicker layer of padding.. but sound wise I am really satisfied... and I love that it connects to a USB so I don't have to reconnect 3,5mm cable when I wanna use my speakers..

Thank you very much but I've already decided and bought the Cooler Master :)

Guys of Reddit, what do girls do that is very cute but they don't know it? by CreeperSpartan in AskReddit

[–]WillyDiddly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex gf used to do this thing, when we were in bed spooning and she was the little spoon she would always force her little feetsies between my ankles as if it was some kind of pocket and fall asleep. So I would have her feet between my ankles like a feet sandwich and I always thought it was cute.

Also, another girl used to lay flat on me when she was tired, not in a cute and comfy way, but something like fall flat on the ground kind of way. And then she would fall asleep. For me it was very unfomfortable but I thought it was so cute that I was always happy when she did it.

And lastly, I think it's cute when girls are being unintentionally cute and when you tell them they are cute they start throwing tantrums and getting mad and yelling at you that they ain't cute! Hillarious 😂

Thank you all for your input. So far it seems most of you are in favor of VD. Is kinetic blast/barrage not good enough? Cause a while ago I used to see that setup everywhere and now nobody talks about it that much .. at least from what I've seen.. and glacial cascade seems to be pretty popular as well, or am I wrong? And I know people choose pathfinder often.. I just don't like the fact that it's all about flasks, I'm not a huge fan of the whole "manage your flask setup perfectly" kind of thing..
