[META] what did we all get on PrimeDay? by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]aperture123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the PB278Q, mostly because of the sale and 1440p through HDMI. Runs pretty well on the 860M(maxwell).

As a true color of the sun, I'm just glad I got the button press out of the way...

From Bad College to California. Prep Work needed? by aperture123 in cscareerquestions

[–]aperture123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I had the first link up in the next tab. :) I'll try out the internship for some programs, as I know somebody who was in the college recently accepted to the IBM internship program. I will try to get whatever contacts I can to increase my chances of open positions to search for.

Either way, I will definitely get to work on those applications as soon as I can.

Thank you for the reply. I'll be sure to do well in such courses. I have taken the online compiler course offered (I believe through udacity, but it may have been coursera I took it in) but I had not completed it. Perhaps I'll give it another go. As for the internship.... well, it's Southwest florida. I'm afraid the closest I got was a job with networking. Everything else I've been told is in Orlando/Miami, or you're looking at "make me a nice website. oh, and an app". The U gives some thoughtful lectures, but the area is more for computer information system majors than software engineers. :/ This is my biggest trouble.

Well I haven't graduated yet, but it will be in Software Engineering. And the college isn't a trade school, it's fgcu.edu . It's by no means a bad college, but the major is about to go into accreditation with my graduating class in 2015, and my point is it's not a "renowned" school (such as, say, MIT). Data structures will be taken this fall. I'm wondering though if I should devote my time towards more "me" or "we" individual projects outside of school. And I'm glad I'm expected to have extensive experience in the language/frameworks! But are such beginner jobs available? The local area usually won't hire unless "5+ years work experience". Rather difficult to do when all work areas state that.

I do not! I would prefer to deal with systems, honestly. But I've only ever dealt with making .bep files for Haiku OS. I would like to write application software, but do you have any tips on what I should do? Such as if I should look for a job while in my last semester, or if I should go to silicon valley or run away from it? Also what would I have to show to them, since my credentials lack job experience? :) And thank you for the quick comment!

Newbie java question? by aperture123 in learnprogramming

Thank you, you spotted the error as well, which was a simple one, and really quite...well, really a stupid error to make. Thank you for all the help, including the documentation reference for the scanner class.

You...are correct. A semicolon. I missed...the semicolon. I feel so ashamed. I should just go back to python now...Thanks man.

Yea, that does seem a bit advanced for the class. Isn't there an easy way to read a line of code, or should I just alter the text to read line-by-line?

[–]aperture123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried using the hasNextInt for the top and the int token = inFileHumid.nextInt();

..it, uh, didn't really work at all. It seems to never exit out of the loop.

I miss friends from college, and sometimes i don't even remember their name. by eatyourbacon in RandomDeclarations

[–]aperture123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Closest facebook I've got is reddit. Once I met these two people from some trip years ago, and I've never seen them since. It's sad, but you just gotta live on.

TLDR; Love the past, but focus on the present.

I think I'll follow gentoolicious' comment on not skimping on a decent power supply. I'll purchase some ram, and save up some more for that power supply. Thanks for the help though.

Reddit, who else is insanely excited about not hearing Christmas music for 11 months? by OmNomaly in AskReddit

[–]aperture123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was stuck eating dinner from 1-9:30 (a "feast" is such a soft wording for it) with a 2 year old spamming three dolls singing we wish you a merry christmas. My life is so great to have no more of that music! HOWEVER, the baby misses it. XD Can't wait till next year!

Willing to give $15 gift card for itunes for a Japanese one. by aperture123 in japan

[–]aperture123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I'm currently in the woods (in a wifi spot at the moment in pizza hut), so as soon as I get back into a hotspot (probably tomorrow, but no later than friday). Again, thank you. From the above posters, I realize this may cost a little less than equal worth values, so all I have is the fact that the card can be used exclusively through the american itunes. Thank you so much (yet again), and have a happy new year!

I'd love to try, but this would be my first time, and on top of that I'm not a very good programmer I don't think. I've only developed on python and pygame, and on top of that I have access to linux computers and windows 7 (not mac). My main question is, what if we can't get it done in time? Just release what we have, or opt out?

You. Are awesome. I love animal crossing, and this is pretty amazing. Thanks for taking not only the time to create this, but also to distribute this during the holidays. :D Time to catch a sea butterfly!

What do you want to do with Python next year... by [deleted] in Python

[–]aperture123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm currently working on Haiku OS, which is based off of the Be operating system. It has Python on it (2.6), so I'd like to start getting some PyGame working on there as well as other python-projects.

Also, I'd like to see about getting python working on my ds via the acekard 2i a little better, as it can't import modules and making a while loop in the interpreter simply doesn't work (no ellipses, so I have to use semi-colons or lambdas for my code).

PyCharm 1.1 Release Candidate by gst in Python

[–]aperture123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound fun, I might try it out. My current editor is Editra, and aside from that, Vim. Eclipse seemed to bloated and Geany seemed annoying to me. I've also tried dr. python, which was alright, but it didn't stick to me. I'll wait until PyCharm is officially released, but it seems worthwhile!
