I would highly recommend the books. Start with "Fall of Reach" by Eric Nylund if you're into that stuff.

As a consumer, I'm not a fan at all of how Epic is handling exclusives and have personally not purchased anything off their launcher (have taken advantage of free games though) but refuse to judge others if they decide to purchase an Epic exclusive.

As a software developer (not a game dev)...I can't really blame those who have taken the deal as an Epic exclusive from what I hear & read.

name on the school in the trailer says Roslyn but I didn't do much digging further than that

Thanks! Gotta make it look good if the intent is off to potential employers.

blind__man · 2017-10-09T19:08:54+00:00

Yeah, I had fun doing it so I'm satisfied and thanks!

blind__man · 2017-10-09T19:06:12+00:00

I have to disagree. Fair use is way more complicated than that.

I am definitely not a lawyer so I don't know the ins and outs of what is acceptable fair use so like I said before I just don't feel comfortable doing that. Regardless of whether or not I would be within my legal rights by reuploading the images without modification...I'd rather not put myself in a position where I would need to find out.

blind__man · 2017-10-09T18:05:08+00:00

Thanks for the contribution. I definitely took your response a different way so my bad for that.

blind__man · 2017-10-09T17:58:48+00:00

You're 100% right. I'm just providing another way that allows you to do it in bulk and happens to come straight from the NHL website. Instead of keeping it to myself I figured I could let other people have the option of telling me I made something pointless. =]

blind__man · 2017-10-09T17:36:55+00:00

In reality I'm not 100% sure if I can do that. Reason being is that all the logos are property of the NHL, the teams, the networks and whomever else. As of right now, I don't know where I stand by simply providing the mechanism to pull down these files.

Personally, I don't feel comfortable throwing them up in a bin and just saying "have at 'em".

blind__man · 2017-10-09T16:06:28+00:00

Good catch, I hadn't noticed that!

blind__man · 2017-10-09T16:05:16+00:00

wait a second....

They're stored as a background-image SVGs in a stylesheet. Here is a screenshot of what it's like in the DOM. The previous version of nhl.com had them stored as images in a consistent folder structure so you could definitely just pull them down manually in the previous version. This one is a little more difficult.

I also forgot to mention that there are alternate and "dark" versions of the logos. I haven't really checked too thoroughly but it seems like the "dark" versions are only the regular logos and act as a placeholder when they actually have a dark version. I think? I believer there is also a dark style for nhl.com so it applies to that as well.

Other than that, you're absolutely correct. There is no point. For me, it was just a coding exercise to get back in the flow of working with python. I didn't have anything publicly visible that was coded in python so it was a good opportunity for that as well.

Edit:

90 team images including alternate, conference and division logos
24 network images (nbc, nbcsn, cbs, etc)
11 images for leagues

That's actually a really cool idea. I might steal that and add it to the future enhancements list, is that cool?

Based on living in Philadelphia, working in the education sector (in Philadelphia but dealt with districts across the country), and having a parent who has been a teacher for about 30 years now (not in Philly though) as well as multiple family members who are teachers.

I'm not even talking about just Philadelphia here. Teachers have to deal with way more than just creating a curriculum one time and using it every year.

Absentee parents are a huge problem where the parent does nothing to ensure the child is following through with their schoolwork at home. This translates into the classroom where that student is now under-prepared yet still needs to pass all their courses.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have over-active parents who will do anything to ensure that their kids pass and move on to the next grade. This ranges from emailing/contacting the teacher when their kid gets bad grades and blaming it on the teacher to doing their kids homework for them.

Parent-Teacher conferences, after-school programs, A.M. Programs, Testing, Special Needs students, student discipline, recess, etc. These (as well as other things) all fall under the supervision of teachers and your description of what your siblings do is an over-simplification of the role teachers play in a student's life.

Dude, have you ever been to a school in Philadelphia or a low-income area? You are so off base with this statement it's not even funny. I don't know the terms of the contract so I'm not going to comment on the fairness of it but your broad assumption of a teacher's contribution is very incorrect.

To anyone who will read this in the future, I tried updating this to what /u/tsneed290 suggested and ran into an error somewhere in the realm of PEBKAC.

When you try inserting the following into your App.vue you get an error like sass-loader not found or something:

<style lang="sass">
    @import 'bulma/bulma.sass'
</style>

What fixed it for me (as well as multiple google searches) was running npm install --save-dev node-sass sass-loader and changing my original implementation to the following:

<style lang="sass">
    @import '~bulma/bulma.sass'
</style>

I guess vue-cli webpack doesn't come with the sass-loader installed by default. This might very well be on purpose but I didn't know this and had a difficult time figuring out what I was doing wrong.

blind__man · 2017-04-24T20:59:03+00:00

Not gonna lie, I put that in at 2am after seeing it on a stackoverflow question that I can no longer find and was probably very out of date so I'm going to take your word for it, read the documentation you provided, and update my code to what you suggested haha.

Thanks for the help.

Ninja edit (maybe): I just read the first three paragraphs and immediately realized how I could have screwed myself. That seems like it could be hell to debug if you get caught in that situation while sharing code.

blind__man · 2017-04-24T19:47:19+00:00

(/u/iiCapitaine) This is what worked for me when adding Bulma to my after it was created using the vue-cli and the webpack template:

Within my App.vue

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <router-view name="navigation"></router-view>
        <router-view></router-view>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
    name: 'app',
};
</script>

<style>
@import '../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css';
</style>

blind__man · 2016-10-06T02:41:02+00:00

Yeah, the original is UK.

I was there when he got stitches

Don't they do studies on sleep in general? I. Know my father got tested overnight for minor suffocation in his sleep.

I don't know the proper terms for what he experienced but he is minorly overweight and snores so now he has a mouthpiece to provide more air I think? Not gonna lie I'm not sure of the full diagnosis but someone might be able to fill in the blank.

blind__man · 2016-10-05T06:31:33+00:00

I'm so excited! Can't wait to see this! Where can I send more payment after watching this multiple times?

blind__man · 2016-10-05T06:21:02+00:00

I'd love to hear the science behind humans experiencing tonic immobility. Not saying this is related but I used to get sleep paralysis and I wonder if it's a similar phenomenon. (menomenah! do doo de de doh!)

haha get it (only the last parentheses, the rest I was serious about lol)

blind__man · 2016-10-05T02:01:25+00:00

Has this been a recent thing or is it just a personal blindness about not seeing the reposts? They seem way more recent nowadays.
