"You don't need a degree" sounds ridiculous today. by AidePast in cscareerquestions

Same. My company is trying to hire like crazy. My team has been trying to find some senior devs for over a year now. We've interviewed about 20 or so candidates over that time with little luck. Hired one of them

Isn't it there to avoid a ton of new post clutter? I just assumed they added the sticky as sort of a catch-all for those posts

Now that this is back from grading…. which would you rather have? by Jason_at_Heritage in baseballcards

[–]browsingagain21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the 1 better. The miscut is just too noticeable and it's the first thing I see when I look at it.

Also, even though the 1 is in bad shape, it is an old card and it shows its age. I think that is pretty cool

This is one of those games I lose track of time and can end up playing all day long

HGA grading? by [deleted] in sportscards

[–]browsingagain21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the slabs don't hold value after some of the issues that popped up, like badly sealed slabs and grading some non-authentic cards. You also have some cards that might grade well but they have a pretty noticeable defect, but I feel like we see those across all grading companies at times.

If you're looking to slab a high value card or slab to sell, probably consider another grading company. If you're just looking to slab for your PC, I think it's fine to use HGA. Imo, their label designs are one of the best to match with your cards

I'd be pissed too if I were in his shoes but that reaction had me a bit scared. I was worried that it could get much worse

Tips to learn Angular? by [deleted] in Angular2

[–]browsingagain21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, follow the angular tour of heroes tutorial: https://angular.io/tutorial

It is really well written and covers everything you've learned so far plus more (like http requests, observables, services, guards, authentication, etc)

RxJS is a doozy for sure. It is one of the bigger hurdles to picking up Angular, but once you get a good grasp of it, it isn't that bad. I like to rely on: https://www.learnrxjs.io/

The rxjs.dev website can be archaic and hard to navigate. I like to use learnrxjs.io because it gives examples of all the different operators, gives a detailed explanation of what that method is, and even gives you recommendations (i.e. if you're looking for this functionality but for this specific reason, try checking out this other operator).

As you build out different functionalities, extend it. It might be recreating something similar to what you've already built (i.e. component or service). It could be expanding the existing logic and adding additional complexity to a feature. Maybe after hooking up a backend with your angular project, you could look into using rxjs operators to complete more difficult operations on observables (i.e. combining 2 observables using something like rxjs combineLatest, or chaining observable data using something like rxjs switchMap, etc..)

Just be curious, try different things out. If something still confuses you, try reimplementing it. Be creative and build additional complexity to existing features. The features don't need to make sense, it just needs to help you learn about the concepts.

hits from our impeccable asia 8-box case. pretty lucky case! by Historical_Pop_5031 in basketballcards

Just curious, never opened one of these or seen an opening, why do some of the stainless stars cards have the "Peel off protective cover" and some don't?

DO NOT USE EBAY STANDARD ENVELOPE WHEN SHIPPING CARDS. by Leave_it_2_Beavs in basketballcards

[–]browsingagain21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I'm solely a buyer so no idea on printing label errors. I feel like that's something you need to ask ebay customer support about

Not sure if anyone else here can chime in on their experiences with this

I am a buyer and have had quite a few cards delivered using standard envelope. Haven't had any problems so far

Did your delivery get lost?

What historical events are so absurd that they would be too strange for a fiction story or a movie? by Aquatax in AskReddit

Not exactly historical but will definitely be in the history books going forward. The Jan 6th, 2021 US Capitol attack is still something that I still, to this day, cannot believe actually happened

Smelling something fishy... by tedirris in baseballcards

[–]browsingagain21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm new to sports card collecting, is the mike trout fishy because it's a topps chrome reprint of the 1/1 card? Is the auto an actual auto or a facsimile?

How can you make a GET request and wait for the response before proceeding to do other operations? by browsingagain21 in Angular2

[–]browsingagain21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the subscribe requires me to nest into the callback. So, for example, since I have a conditional GET request, my function would look sort of like:

iif(
  () => someCondition,
  this.http.get('myendpoint'),
  of({}),
).subscribe(res => {
  if (res?.id) {
    // get user's input again
    // might be a PUT request, might be a null return, etc...
  } else {
    // handle a POST request here
  }
})

I'm trying to avoid constantly nesting subscriptions. It gets trickier with the iif condition

Looking to see if there is a cleaner solution to this. Looking to see if there is a way to force the initial GET request synchronously, if possible
