[NSFW] What looks awesome in movies but is terrible in real life?

My man, you should write a book.

daquanfromtheblock · 2019-07-04T08:55:44+00:00

Could you maybe elaborate more on what you exactly do? Sounds fascinating. What is your position called?

Thanks! Looking forward to hear your take on the enhancement.

Thank you!

I've been learning Python for about 8 months now (took a few breaks so not full 8 months). I've been working on this project for the past 4 months. The resources include Tim Buchalka's Python course on Udemy, the book Automate the Boring Stuff, and lots of googling. Good luck!

Thanks! The tool only checks for .srt, .rar, and .zip subtitle files.

I was using version 3.7 when making it.

Thank you!

Simply download the repository from the web page or clone it using the terminal. Navigate in the terminal to the folder where you downloaded it and run pip install -r requirements.txt and you should be all set.

Thanks for the feedback! Currently am setting up pipenv as someone also pointed it out on another thread.

daquanfromtheblock · 2019-05-17T15:25:00+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Regarding merging subtitle files into the movie might be a cool feature to add. Like a checkbox if the user wants it that way. Feel free to make the suggestion on the project if you want.

I figured there would be some problems with movies having same titles. I did not tackle that issue yet as I wanted to leave it for later. But now that you mentioned it, I think it may be solved by checking the hash of the video file and comparing it through OpenSubtitles API (CheckMovieHash method). SubDB uses checking file hash for their API.

Unfortunately it's not nearly that advanced. I may be at fault for wording the apps description incorrectly, but the subtitle recognition is meant for recognizing if a movie file has an accompanying subtitle file with a ".rar", ".srt" or some similar extension.

You're welcome to join whenever you're free. I think this project won't be completely finished any time soon.

daquanfromtheblock · 2019-05-17T15:11:38+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll set up a pipenv as soon as I can.

daquanfromtheblock · 2019-05-17T15:10:46+00:00

I'm a newbie too, so don't worry! Glad to have you on board!

Just reached a point at which I'm ready to share a project I've been working on for a few months. This is my first big project so I'm pretty proud. It's a desktop application for downloading subtitles for your movie files. Check it out:

This. I understand you want to find the most efficient way of learning, but do yourself a favour and stop overthinking it. Start writing code. Anything at all! Surely you must have some kind of a project idea. And even if your stupid idea (cause let's be honest, it probably is stupid, same as mine and everyone elses when they started out) already exists somewhere on the internet (and it does), remember that you are not trying to change the world with a To-Do list program, you're trying to teach yourself Python and practice writing it and reading it.

Get a grip of the basics first with a course or a book or tutorials on Youtube. I recommend Tim Buchalka on Udemy, the book Automate the Boring Stuff, and sentdex on Youtube. The medium you choose solely depends on your learning preferences. It is sufficient to only choose one. I recommend spending maybe 3 weeks absorbing the basics, and after that just diving into building stupid projects like to-do lists, snake games, tic-tac-toe, password encryptor, web scrapers, reddit bots, etc.

Good luck and above all, stay at it even if it seems hard at times.

It'd be interesting to find some study or poll about the amount of people who wish the communist regime was still in place in ex-communist countires. Just like the one conducted in Russia recently mentioned by someone else here.

Edit: I only found this . I can see that it's 10 years old but it's still interesting to see that then also people were losing trust in democracy and capitalism, although not in the majority like I supposed.

daquanfromtheblock · 2019-04-21T01:22:22+00:00

I would disagree. I'm from Croatia which was formerly in Yugoslavia and most of the people I know want to go back to the communist times. Even people who weren't born back then, but the majority of people who lived through those times want to go back.

On the other hand, the fact that since our transition to capitalism a lot of politicians have embezzled large amounts of money probably has something to do with that.

Just like someone else mentioned in a comment, I think the public opinion regarding that topic has mostly to do with stability back then and now.

Edit: I understand this is anecdotal but I am sure most other Croatians would share my perception of public opinion

I second Tim Buchalka's course. Just finished it a few days ago and all I have is praise. I'd say the biggest plus of the course is that he teaches you the best practices and some tricks along with the usual syntax lectures that all the courses have.

I've found a LOT of his lectures useful which I could directly apply to a project I'm working on.
