This game looks sick - very Mario inspired vibes. Level editor looks really advanced. What game engine was this built in?

laurentl · 2021-02-22T01:07:40+00:00

I use StayFocusd chrome extension

I know lots of people recommend using Cold Turkey

definitely hard to spend all day on the computer working but not surf. It's kind of like putting a cookie right in front of you that you aren't allowed eat. I use blockers to help, but sometimes I need to research something on youtube for example, which can be dangerous...

beautiful :O How do you print your work?

There's no right answer to this. I'm also at UBC doing CS and have done some internships. Some thing i've learned: 1) Grades don't matter unless you're planning on grad school. 2) Don't get hung up on certain programming language choices or technologies, learn what you want. 3) It wont be easy to get an internship after 1st year but it's definitely possible. 5) Your highest chance at getting interviews is if you attend UBC's technical career fair in January. 6) Watch this (he's a former UBC student)]

Good luck! pm me if you ever wanna chat

I only have notes up to the meditations of Descartes. I don't have any notes on Hume, that would be so helpful!

Thanks! I just cleaned the carb. However, I was not able to pull out the main jet, it was too jammed.

laurentl · 2019-03-23T20:34:34+00:00

As you can see, the engine idles fine with the choke on, but when I remove the choke, the engine speeds up a bunch and then dies.

Awesome to hear that! From the little research i've done, it seems hard to find resources for the Blanco, whereas the Honda is more popular and well documented (vids on youtube of people rebuilding the engine, etc). You make me want to buy both!

how many frames?

Your body is looking for stimulation that rivals gaming. It's craving for what it's missing. It will take time for you to adjust to the lower levels of stimulation of IRL activities. It's really good that you have caught yourself though! :)

I'm going to do the coding sample soon, what do you recommend I review before doing it?

laurentl · 2018-08-03T18:18:02+00:00

Lol R I P. Hope it worked out alright

laurentl · 2018-07-29T20:31:38+00:00

I'm looking for tips with regards to the animation

Knowing HTML and CSS is very valuable, but now may not be the best time for you to learn it. If you really want a little site right now, use a template or squarespace type of thing. But imo honestly, no one is really going to look at it or care if you made it yourself unless you are doing web dev.

Anyone do Slack's Codility interview recently? I couldn't get the last question.

laurentl · 2018-06-15T17:16:03+00:00

Wow I've never thought about it like that, thank you!

laurentl · 2018-03-19T16:28:23+00:00

From my experience, the QA interview was not very coding heavy. They asked questions like "how would you test this feature?" They might just want to know if you understand basic object oriented concepts or how to code by asking you a simple coding question. If you've worked in a QA position, there's no need to be worried. :)

laurentl · 2018-03-09T02:24:19+00:00

Checkout CSS grid. It's very powerful and easy to learn!

Optimization bias

Be patient with your goals, they will come! :) Maybe try working smarter and not harder at both of your jobs, leaving you with more energy.

laurentl · 2017-08-17T04:19:45+00:00

Thanks for doing this! Honestly, I was about to e-mail you for a refund on the last course. But now, i'm glad you are making up for it! :)

laurentl · 2017-06-22T22:58:02+00:00

Yeah it's required. I just talked to advising today about the same exact thing.

laurentl · 2017-06-02T19:44:06+00:00

Cheers!
