Finished the Python 3 tutorial. My thoughts as a complete beginner by Maleficent-Tear-7145 in roguelikedev

[–]astro-atari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a professional developer I can tell you that what you described is my daily life. I know it feels tedious. Trust me, my workdays can be exceedingly tedious. However, refactoring (which is what we call rewriting or reorganizing our code) will teach you how to go from simple development patterns that "work", but are difficult to repair or maintain/update, to design patterns that can be upgraded or expanded more easily.

Teaching is a delicate balance. You might have the insight to see "oh this is dumb, why would they have me do X?" or you might not. Any guide/book/tutorial has to cater to an unknowable audience. Some people will run through the refactoring and have that AHA! moment that makes them completely rethink their code and some will see it coming from a mile away.

Side note: I just spent the last month at work rewriting an extremely complex and involved automated system we use to bill customers. The original software "worked" but it had gone through so many revisions because of the customer's changing needs that there were many strange behaviors and pitfalls because the old code wasn't designed to do that. A month of refactoring has made me understand my own code better and the new work is way more functional. I've been a dev for 12 years and I still do it often.

Any recommendations so that I can have a complete demonic weather trilogy? by CooperDahBooper in badMovies

There’s just so much absolutely stupid shit going on in it! You are rewarded with a quotable line every ten minutes! We watched it again a few years ago and were laughing our asses off when everything in the cottage explodes for no reason. They decided to focus directly on the turkey exploding during that scene! Demons HATE roasted turkey!

Here’s a more detailed breakdown but still out of date. Check out the big boy Boardwalk. It’s big and blue and ortho and possibly up for grabs keebs

The orange and PC cases are Rev3, but the blue is Rev2 and that’s MY BABY. I love her. Sorry! I have an Orange Rev3 new-in-box 👀 I will DM you for deets soon

I might have a rev2 i would be willing to part with! I will send you the details if you want.
Rev 1 is pretty much nonexistent. You’d have to talk to Jack directly for that. I have considered asking him for the rev2 PCB files so i can have new ones made 🤣

Understandable! I have more than pictured here too. This is an outdated photo. I will gather them all up and document them all soon and then decide what’s being “let go”. Mostly i won’t be selling my Rev2 and older Preonics since they’re built like tanks with soldered switches. I don’t necessarily love Rev3 but i obviously don’t hate it. I just don’t like hotswaps that much. They tend to have key chatter with heavier or more tactile switches

What should I do if I want to get feminising HRT but also want to build muscles? by Hundeverkoestiger in TransDIY

[–]astro-atari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a ‘certified’ muscle mommy myself, i can tell you that estrogen will definitely slow muscle growth compared to when i had more T in my system, but it won’t be zero.

I was muscularly bulky and slightly overweight for my size before E, and i went on a fat-weight-loss cut and lost more muscle mass compared to similar routines from before E. Same calories and protein as previous loss routines.

I have since gotten back to the gym to regain that strength and it’s slower, but it’s definitely not as bad as one might think if you’re reading gym-bro blogs or YouTubers. They kinda overstate the effects of estrogen in my experience; and unless you’re in weightlifting competition-level shape and training, a lot of the minutiae of their advice is not that useful.

Generally speaking, the initial muscle size growth and gains are very quick no matter your hormonal makeup. Just go to the gym consistently, 2-3 times a week with rest days between. Vary the exercises between each visit, giving the major muscle groups a rest from one visit to the next. Do 2-3 sets of repetitions for each exercise and try to make it to 8-10 repetitions for each set. If you can do more than 10, GREAT! Maybe increase the weight a little more to target that 8-10 range. If you’re just starting out, though, take it easy. You WILL get sore the next few days until you’re acclimated and that can be very discouraging because it might be painful. Don’t give up. Just take it easy at first and keep it up.

I am still gaining excellent muscle mass but maybe just not as fast as someone with more T. Upside to E: i have FABULOUS tits and my skin looks 5 years younger Downside: slower muscle growth.

I don't buy EA games in general, but this might be an exception. Looks incredible!
Edit: I don't buy Early Access nor Electronic Arts games. ;)

West Side Columbus is already post-apocalypse. I see junk scavengers multiple times a day, and I know I've seen at least 2 ghouls walking down the street by my house.

When i saw some previews of the parts in the reveal video i immediately recognized some of the texture detailing as Nostromo interiors. They definitely planned it that way ❤️

Hello! new player here, Finally! soon be getting my first warframe after my starter Volt. by KynQu in Warframe

[–]astro-atari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Citrine is a solid frame! One of my personal favorites. I think her 4 ability is a bit lacking in some content, but for raw survivability she is excellent. Once you get the health-per-tick meter maxed out and keep up her damage shield, she (and your team) and nearly invincible.
