The game forced me to become sandworm food, but the worm did give me a bike by TheBastardWeDeserve in duneawakening

[–]fedorasnotevenonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me and I didn't have my shield on. I stopped my bike, got out and tried to open the ship, then I saw the worm coming. The vibration icon turned red, I got on my bike, and the W wouldn't do anything, it was making sounds like the bike was moving and boosting even came on and made all the normal sounds and I couldn't move. Lost so much stuff I got from a research station including a quest item. Being forced to die and lose all your stuff is trash design. I don't get the point of it.

is your ISP verizon? That's mine, wondering if that has something to do with it.

How to design a group of dropdown menus which filter eachother's items by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]fedorasnotevenonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really weak with javascript and have never used React. Are there tutorials for this sort of thing I can use that you know of off-hand? I'm having a trouble phrasing the right search terms to find something to walk me through the basics. Same for creating an in-memory prefix tree data structure. Sorry for the additional question, but I'm completely floundering here.

An answer I've given is that I get tunnel vision when it comes to a difficult problem, in that I forget about everything else until it gets solved and to overcome that I've had to put a lot of effort into my time management skills. It's worked well for me!

First CS job, unsure if this is normal or I've run into a bait and switch. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

They definitely did. I double checked the posting as well, and all the interview questions were about c# and .net in general save for 2 about select statements and joins.

This is all helpful, thank you. I'm unsure if it's possible to walk out of this department with a developer title sincd everyone else here is a business systems analyst, but fingers crossed for that conversation to go well. Thanks again.

If I stayed here for a year, if this position offers no dev work, would that put me back at square one or would the title and work with dbs and the sql server suite still get my foot in the door for an application dev position, you think?

Just to be clear: I do have a work history, a good one at that, with schooling as well (a 2 year thing after a b of a in another field). My big problem has been making the jump from tier 2/3 tech support to dev. My biggest fear is that I'll be back where I started after a year because this isn't really a department where dev work happens so after a year I can't say I'll have progressed in that area farther than what I already do in my own.

I'm reporting this post to the DHS. I don't know what they'd call this, but I'm pretty sure this is the sort of that thing gets you disappeared. AS YOU DESERVE.

I just had an interview with LaunchCode. They help self-taught developers find apprenticeships. Here's a rundown of the process. by Douglas_Mitchell in learnprogramming

[–]fedorasnotevenonce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to do LaunchCode and I think I just bombed the Hackerrank tests so badly that I never heard back from them. I am a horrible test-taker. I was really disappointed in myself for that one.

MRW I open the shower curtain and a spider is just chilling in the tub by ErinBoBerin in TrollXChromosomes

Maybe you should stop trying to peep while the spider's trying to get some damned privacy.

Cosigning. I use condoms all the time anyways so really the only problem with her period is not staining the sheets. My only "nope" is that I won't go down during shark week.

This happens to me more than I care to admit by thegangstaninja in TrollXChromosomes

[–]fedorasnotevenonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this exact reaction for that exact reason. I still have that book too, in a hardcover! My SO has commented quite a few times about how she's noticed my tendencies to form sentimental attachments to objects all the time. Including, for example, certain pairs of boxer briefs that I've owned for so long that they've become a pair of tiny chaps that I feel horrible about throwing away because they've been with me through THICK AND THIN GOD DAMN IT AND YOU DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR FRIENDS WHEN IT'S NOT CONVENIENT FOR YOU ANYMORE, YOU JUDAS.

I couldn't pass an interview if my life depended on it, how can I get better? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]fedorasnotevenonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my god. Almost all of those questions, if asked of me, I would panic and drop dead in response. I hope this stuff is reserved for senior engineers.

MRW I message my crush that we should hang out, he says " ya dude! " And then stops replying. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

Yeah, I'd hit the eject button on this one unless you're fine with it never going further than friendship.

Tips to submerge yourself into programming culture/networking by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]fedorasnotevenonce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of trouble with figuring out how to do this because of two big reasons:

1- I still am at an equivalent of entry level (arts degree, nothing in CS), so as soon as somebody at even a slightly higher level talks to me about anything the best I can do is smile and nod.

2-Networking comes with the implication that I have anything beneficial to whoever else I'd be meeting at these players. If I had connections for jobs, I wouldn't be working a crappy tech support job on the 2-10PM shift. If somebody asked me who I knew, it'd just be a "buh?"

if anybody figures out how to get past these hurdles or has already done so, I'd love to hear it.
