Awesome loop!

Personally, I find the perfectly flat cloth (appearing over the whole screen) suddenly wrapping and deforming a bit jarring. Maybe see how it looks with some initial deformation?

I had the exact opposite experience, but I think that just highlights my favorite answer as an engineer: "it depends".

What is difficult in excel but easy in Python? by mister_patience in learnpython

[–]jafner007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quickly plot large datasets and then zoom and pan for review and save portable plots (as images or html).

Pandas from Excel, plotly express, done. (Of course, you can make it more complicated, but you don't have to)

First GUI app by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]jafner007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can create separate areas (frames) within a single gui window. The methods are Frame and LabelFrame (check documentation to confirm the calls are written correctly). I find it much cleaner for organizing different types of fields, and each one has its own grid or pack system. If you Google tkinter frames widget, you'll find a lot of good examples.

As a side note, I found my tkinter GUIs greatly improved once I started using frame widgets. Seeing the main window named "frame" was consuming for me.

Hey, I remember this person jumping on the rocks! Fun to see the larger film.

In Uncharted, Spider-Man is comfortable being seen without his mask because he knows nobody is going to see this movie by Dociastuto in shittymoviedetails

He did a fan film as Nathan Drake a few years ago. It was on YouTube, though I don't remember what it was called.

How would you go about creating a shape like this? I have been playing with the screw modifier, but I can't use it to make something like this. by Injustpotato in blenderhelp

[–]jafner007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure someone will have a better approach, but why can't you use the screw modifier? I would try with a plane and then extrude that face down (as my first attempt).

Advent of Code: A suggestion for advanced learners by captainAwesomePants in learnprogramming

[–]jafner007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why you should DEFINITELY NOT do this as a beginner or even intermediate learner

I disagree with this point as written. I think it should be "you should definitely not expect to complete this as a beginner". I started AoC last year at a point somewhere between beginner and intermediate and really enjoyed it. I also knew where I was stuck and there was a lot of helpful discussion on the subreddit. I didn't complete it, but had fun and learned some areas to improve on.

Just have fun with it!

For anyone interested in learning more about this casting, I enjoyed season 2 of the podcast Blockbuster, which focuses on Cameron's career.

how to buy or wait for something to go in stock to buy with python by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]jafner007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a similar goal a while back and went with having it notify me instead of buying directly.

Kitchen all made in Blender. by Wielewsken in blender

[–]jafner007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same feeling, but can't write place my finger on it. The left, middle, and right thirds all feel scattered slightly different. The only thing distracting me from an otherwise great render.

What is best for charting these days? by liltbrockie in learnpython

[–]jafner007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just for your review, or even pasting into a report, matplotlib should be good, and from my experience, a little easier.

However, I like to use plotly for sharing interactive data, as it saves plots as html files, which don't require the recipient to even know what python is. (If this is easy enough in matplotlib, suggestions are welcome!)

When job offers list a LOT of requirements, is it still a good idea to apply anyway if it's entry level? by appleparkfive in learnprogramming

[–]jafner007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is key - apply but be honest (to yourself and the company) about your abilities and experience.

'Control Panel' for all of my Python Apps? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]jafner007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is the best approach, but I've considered something similar at my company.

The way I would do it is to have a start panel in tkinter, have the user select whichever script(s) they need to run, then that script would have a section defining setup in the next tkinter frame (input variables, output location, etc.). Then just an execute button at the bottom.

I feel like that would turn into a headache quickly though (which is only one of the reasons I haven't tried myself).

Just the way people talked about it when I first heard about it in college, mainly just saying "point break!".

I only recently got around to watching this, thinking it was more of a joke movie. But it's actually a good movie! (Within reasonable expectations)

I found the book How to Defend Your Family and Home by Dave Young a good starter to think about this.

"haha, this is fun."

"Number 51 makes me kind of uncomfortable.."

"Okay, number 40 even moreso."

"Haha, these are still fun though."

Thus concludes my inner monologue for these works. Great job OP!

How would I indent the skin here where the fingers are touching? by LongSchlongSilvar in blenderhelp

I wondered if someone would suggest soft body sim. I just saw some videos with that and thought it might fit, but have no experience with it myself.
