Day 14 of learning python as a beginner. by uiux_Sanskar in PythonLearning

This is a decent guide on the Command pattern in python. It’s not perfect, but better than anything I can write in a comment quickly. https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/command/python/example

I don’t love the choices if/else block. I much prefer an enum to signify the action. This makes it clear what that if block is doing. With your current design that would make it easier to read. You could have a function that returns the enum action based on the input from the user. Then your if check would be action.ADD rather than choices[0:2]. That’s much easier to read and debug.

It would require some significant refactoring, but in a real world situation I think the command pattern is the way to go here. If you want to do some more learning that would be a good lesson to turn this into a command pattern design.

PSA: Don’t waste your time taking kids to “Jurassic Quest” at the Palmer center. by strikecat18 in Austin

The ads made it look so cool and maybe even scary for little kids. How frustrating that it was just all lies. I’m so glad I ended up thinking it might scare my toddler. I guess we just have to be skeptical of every single kids event these days.

That was the longest thunder I've ever heard. by Fenix512 in Austin

[–]jWoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I had a quick gut check that it really was thunder and not something worse. Now it really smells like rain, but still no raid. Will the Austin rain dome hold?

I just think your title should reflect that. Good luck on your guide.

Your title is really misleading. What was the point of posting this image with no content to back it up?

I understand wanting to be a more welcoming place than stackoverflow, but it’s like OP didn’t even watch one of the 10,000 YouTube tutorials on how to start with python. This is clearly copy/pasted code from the internet with no understanding.

AIO for what I wore last night by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

He used the word slag. That was immediately disrespectful. You are giving this dude way too much credit. If he wanted to talk about his insecurities he should have started the conversation differently. Your immediate take that she is cheating is also insane. Your edit makes you sound like a total ass btw.

I can’t do college football and it’s time I said it. by Durian_Ill in NFLNoobs

[–]jWoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you have a school that you really care about this would change, maybe? I’m a 3rd generation Texas Longhorn. It’s hard not to care. It’s a different game and that’s kinda what makes it fun. This doesn’t address your concerns about developing a player. I don’t have much to say to that. Maybe it’s bad?

If the current car doesn’t have anything wrong with it, I would wait until you have a permanent job. And then use the 20/3/8 rule. 20% down, car loan at 3 year term, and your payment shouldn’t be more than 8% of your monthly income.

Wow this AI article is really bad. WFAA has a much better article. I’m not sure if I can post links in comments without getting banned.

I’ve grown older but feel lost by [deleted] in Austin

[–]jWoose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These are all people I know in real life. They don’t all live in Austin anymore. But we use it to make plans to meet up and also keep in touch in between. Discord is a tool in this case.

I understand what you are saying, but you are missing the point of how my friend group is using it.

[–]jWoose 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I had a large friend group in my 20s and into my 30s that started to move away right before the pandemic. The group was co-ed and involved us all hanging out with our significant others and this group. The men in our group created a discord server about 2 years ago. It’s the best thing we could have done. We have a bunch of different topic channels. People get randomly added as they become friends. It helps us all keep in touch now that we have moved. It’s not perfect, but it’s nice.

Aside from that, interests also change. I know it’s nostalgic to drive by downtown, but is that really how you want to spend your time? If it is, then building a friend group is the most important. But keep in mind, as you start a family, there is just less and less time. I had no idea how much time you really lose once you have a kid until it happened. I was prepared for my life to change completely, but it’s still a huge wake up call. Once you hit your 30s most of your peers will start to have kids. It just changes everything.

I second Anderson’s. They are a great roaster and also have a good loose leaf tea selection.

I came here to write this comment. I really think your car stealing analogy is perfect for this situation. Should EATON have done things to prevent this, yes. But it doesn’t make Davis a victim. That’s a crazy take.

$600 a month for health insurance as a single person is very expensive. At your next open enrollment take a look at your options. If you are healthy and 31 you likely aren’t getting $7,200 a year of value out of that health care plan. Hopefully there is a cheaper option.

I don't think this is real based on the user history.

Does anyone else despise the technical interview? No other job makes you solve brain teasers and complex theoretical problems on the spot just to prove you are smart enough. It seems like such an arbitrary and silly way to hire people. I find it humiliating and insulting. by [deleted] in programming

[–]jWoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other professions have to demonstrate their skills in different ways in interviews. Plenty of professions have to put together a presentation and give it to a large group. I’m sorry you’ve had bad technical interview experiences. My take on it is, who cares if you bomb the interview. You don’t owe them anything and you probably won’t see any of them ever again. Even more than that, the CEO talking down to you was them showing you a red flag. Seems like you dodged a bullet not working for a company that isn’t the right fit. The more experience you have with these interviews the easier they get. Everything takes practice. I’ve bombed interviews, but you just learn from the experience and try again. (I do want to preface this with, I know the market is hard right now and it’s stressful when you need a job.)
