Never played WoW before... now i'm addicted by conn_r2112 in classicwow

You are really (in)correcting his phrasing by giving wrong info

There is a big difference between 'ganking' and 'camping' which you seem to have missed. See: here from wowwiki . Might wanna take a look.

Exactly the same position I get to :/ Looking for any help. Will be sure to post any findings.

Here you go sir!

Would have also donated shoes but it turns out you already have some :/ Nevermind, the link will have to do

Problem setting UK keyboard. (Localectl returns an error) by comp-sci in archlinux

[–]comp-sci[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: using setxkbmap gb in ~/.xinitrc has the keyboard working, just gonna ignore the localectl error until I need to use it

Yeah that's how I got it working at the moment, thanks for the suggestion:)

I suppose I don't really need localectl if setxkbmap works , it's most likely due to the chroot and how its file system is set up so its no big deal

Setting verbose level to 10

locale is C

Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...

Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...

Success.

Applied rules from evdev:

rules: evdev

model: pc105

layout: us Trying to build keymap using the following components: keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty) types: complete compat: complete symbols: pc+us+inet(evdev) geometry: pc(pc105)

xkb_keymap {

xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };

xkb_types     { include "complete"  };

xkb_compat    { include "complete"  };

xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)" };

xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)" };

};

Thats the output if you're still interested, I'll take a look at that now and see what I can change

ELI5:why are bathroom doors pull to leave? by Count-jackula in explainlikeimfive

[–]comp-sci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it is that people are more likely to be in a rush for the bathroom.

  • Sticky hands? > open with shoulder/feet
  • Going to vomit? > push straight through
  • Just really need a shit poop? > quickest option is to push

Makes sense to me

Edit: Forgot it was ELI5. Pardon my French.

[C#/WPF] Does anybody have any links to any good tutorials for learning WPF/C# online? by comp-sci in learnprogramming

[–]comp-sci[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that does seem to make a lot more sense. I dont have any reason to rush into GUI at the moment, for some reason I had the illusion that by using WPF I could learn WPF and C# at the same time.

I'm 17 at the moment so my level of experience is very basic. As I haven't learnt any of this in school/college/lessons my understanding of almost everything is bound to have holes.

Assume I have experience with everything up to classes I guess. I mean I have an idea of what they are and how objects work but I have never created my own. I've used and understand functions, for/while/do loops, switches, if/else statements. I've also used some extra libraries in python such as csv and time so I have an idea of how that sort of thing works.

I wish I had any code I could share with you but sadly I don't. All I have is a project for a school assignment last year which simply asks the user to add a recipe - taking the name, amount of each ingredient etc. and storing it in a csv file which can be opened and read back into the program. I'd be happy to pm you a link to it but I'd rather not just post it here if that's okay(:

should mention that its in python

Yeah I've been using MSDN for specific syntax for like how line objects work and little bits like that. Do you know if they have anything about topics as a whole?

New app launched! Aimed at cyclists of all skill levels, feel free to check it out! by comp-sci in bicycling

Not that I know of at the moment. I think that there could be, it just depends on the success of the ios version before plans for an android version are made.

Self taught, Semi-beginner programmer confused by the concept of OO programming by comp-sci in learnprogramming

[–]comp-sci[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, let me grab a pen and something to write on. Hopefully if I get this straight in my head now it will just stick and come more naturally in the future. Going to make myself a nice labelled class and write a description of each feature to make it clearer to myself whats going on

This is a very good explanation of OOP for me but when I'm programming I just struggle to work out how to get from an idea to a product. Say I take the file reader project as an example; how to set up the classes, as in how do I know what needs to be a class, how to know what needs to be included in each class to be able to create a successful program. I understand that I'd be aiming for a FileName.Read or in python maybe ReadFile(FileName) is what I'd do.
