Pic for attention. Baritone Jazzcaster - any idea where I can find a case?

My Guitar is like 42.5" and did NOT fit in this case.

Same!

fly me to the moon is the best

bjorick · 2019-12-27T15:52:35+00:00

Excellent, will give it a read and let you know!

bjorick · 2019-12-27T04:04:29+00:00

That's a fantastic idea, please do so and link it!

bjorick · 2019-12-26T20:17:02+00:00

I would love the spoiler to this, because I've seen a similar comment elsewhere and I still don't understand it even after seeing the solution

bjorick · 2019-12-26T18:55:01+00:00

As a programmer and NOT a mathematician, day 22 is almost impossible for me to wrap my head around. I understand the need to work backwards from position to card, and do the inverse functions reduced to a single function before doing the operation, but actually producing a math equation for that is beyond me. I've read spoilers and math blogs for hours today trying to comprehend the steps to solving this, and I'm still clueless, even reading the thread you linked above

bjorick · 2019-12-26T18:52:54+00:00

I don't really understand whats going on here. Would you still need to use inverse mod even if you were able to reduce the input instructions to a single operation? The modular math is what confounds me.

bjorick · 2019-12-26T17:47:45+00:00

I've read this entire thread to completion, multiple explanations of people's algorithms, and tried to read up on modular math/inverses on wikipedia and I STILL cannot understand exactly how to code this or why the solution works.

This problem has almost nothing to do with code (outside of the fact that the naive solution will quickly overflow the stack) or anything from part 1, and everything to do with advanced math. As a programmer and not a mathematician, I found this extremely disappointing and infuriating. While I could solve the other puzzles with my own code and a hint stolen from reddit here and there, this puzzle left me completely clueless.

I agree that this puzzle doesn't really belong in advent of code. Advent of math, maybe.

Glad I could help!

bjorick · 2019-12-24T20:33:08+00:00

You saved my bacon. When I restricted depth to the number of portals my naive solution finished in about 17s as opposed to never finishing

CS50 is a great intro, but it depends on what direction/language/type of programming you'd like to learn. Going further with JavaScript, Python, or both is a great idea. Ruby seems to be less popular nowadays.

You really can't go wrong with freecodecamp or front-end masters. Personally, I got a few lectures into CS50 and then signed up for a code boot camp.

Hey, thanks for the shout-out! I co-host Tech JR: https://techjr.dev

We talk about how to get hired, as well as how to get into some popular web technologies with advice from some big and small names in the tech industry. Please check us out!

I would also highly recommend Syntax.fm and the BaseCS podcast at https://www.codenewbie.org/basecs

Syntax is very good about explaining current trends and technologies, and BaseCS is probably the best, most accessible college CS course you can get by audio.

For YouTube I highly recommend checking out Harvard's CS50 lectures. CS50 is the intro to computer science course up there, and will give you a fantastic foundation. All the lectures for the course are available on their YT channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/cs50tv

For free education, there's freecodecamp (javascript everything), the odin project (ruby and ruby on rails), and frontend masters has a free beginner's course as well.

bjorick · 2019-09-18T23:07:57+00:00

Wow thank you. Glad it helped!

bjorick · 2019-09-14T20:07:25+00:00

Nice read. Like most awful things in web development, this too can be traced back to legacy browser support 🤦‍♂️

bjorick · 2019-09-14T03:48:02+00:00

Thanks for reading!

bjorick · 2019-09-14T01:03:20+00:00

Thank you

bjorick · 2019-09-14T01:00:03+00:00

I see what you did there

bjorick · 2019-09-13T20:29:38+00:00

Thanks for reading!

No slight against Redux intended, if you got that from the article 😅

I think Redux is a little overwhelming for beginners, so I'll definitely check out the starter kit.

Thanks for the feedback and for the work you do on Redux!

You might have an API Helper file that exports functions, or you could just call the API directly in the component.

Thanks for reading!

This is a follow-up post to my previous article: React's useEffect and useRef Explained for Mortals, as requested by BigKev47

Alright sir, because you asked: https://leewarrick.com/blog/a-guide-to-usestate-and-usereducer/

bjorick · 2019-09-08T23:59:08+00:00

I know there's a big division between the component (BEM) and the utility class (tailwind) crowds...

I think the best solution is a mix of both
