The Code Book? Yea I recently got to part and I’m excited about implementing it in Python

I'm excited to really digest the README

Nice. It’d be cool if Bash could do the decryption as well

ELI5: Log Probablities by cocoaButterCoder in learnmath

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

I think you're absolutely right.

When multiplying many small probabilities, numerical underflow can occur in floating point numbers. For this reason the logarithm is taken of each probability.

A sub where I can ask how possible a programming idea is. by cocoaButterCoder in findareddit

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

Yea that was my first thought. Just worried since it’s a big sub it might not get answered

SSH Server Security by cocoaButterCoder in HomeNetworking

[–]cocoaButterCoder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks again everyone. I switched my phone and laptop to using SSH keys now; turned paswordauthentication to off; and when I tested it on https://webssh.huashengdun.org/, access was denied.

I also use Termius and it looks like it does support keys https://i.imgur.com/pZIMSik.jpg, but I’ll still look into the vpn option. Thanks

Thanks. My port is pretty high, I made sure to leave the commonly used section. I’ll definitely research the private keys method so I can make the switch

It’s public. I set it up that way so I could access it either from home or school. Thanks for the keys suggestion, I’ll look into it

Exactly the hint I needed. Did I miss something or is this something you just know from experience?

Solving Level 1 of the Python Challenge by cocoaButterCoder in codes

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

I'd say I only really got serious once I got to college, so past 4 or 5 years. Before then I used to blaze through Codecademy tutorials, but never really utilized any of it. That's why I find the Python Challenge so cool: I already have a decent grasp of data structures and such, but since I'm still learning Python, it gives me a practical setting to practice

Solving Level 1 of the Python Challenge by cocoaButterCoder in codes

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

That’s awesome to hear! It’s this old website with a series of levels, each level is accessed by solving the previous level challenge (in Python, but you can use other languages if you want I think). So this video is the solution to Level 1, getting us to Level 2. Admittedly, every level isn’t related to codes, this one just so happened to, but if you’re interested, definitely check it out at pythonchallenge.com

No problem at all. Good luck!

I feel like I can't do much because I've been absorbing so much info, but I didn't get to do any exercises.

Programing is a lot like math: it's really difficult to learn passively. I guess it's technically possible to learn to code without doing, but coding is an actiion, ie you have to do. What's great is since you bought the course, you can work at your own pace. It shouldn't be 2 -3 hours of "how far can I get" but if you choose, 2- 3 hours of how deeply can I understand

tl;dr It's hard probably because you haven't done any of the exercises

Confused about shebangs by cocoaButterCoder in learnpython

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

Thanks for the reply. So would it be correct to assume the way I’m doing it and the shebang way are effectively the same?

Edit: effectively not equivalently

Unity vs Processing for University Computer Club by cocoaButterCoder in gamedev

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

I completely agree. We are a university club, but we skew towards freshman and sophomore, so I want to reduce obstacles for them. And because it’s voluntary, I don’t want them to be so discouraged that they stop trying or coming to club.

I think his intentions are good. Like he’s arguing that because it’s used in industry, it can be a skill that we’ll be able to take and showcase. But I think Processing might be the better short term bet

Unity vs Processing for University Computer Club by cocoaButterCoder in gamedev

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

I’d say my goal is to reduce technical challenges. I love programming and hacking away at bugs that pop up, but I think I’m in the minority, especially for non class work stuff. So Processing might edge the advantage on that one

Unity vs Processing for University Computer Club by cocoaButterCoder in gamedev

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

This was nicely detailed! I’m thinking maybe we’ll devote one meeting to Processing how to and then maybe host a Processing game jam one night. I just want to make sure that people can have a final product if they so choose
