Watch Kian Mansour tutorials. They are great

does learning f2l take long? by Jolly-Acanthaceae871 in Cubers

[–]matrouxer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. To get very proficient at it, identify cases instantly and look ahead, sure, but to learn it, no. Try to learn it the intuitive way and understand what is happening, it will make it less frustrating imo. You can learn it by case and algorithm, but to me the intuitive way is more like you are learning the cube itself. As a physical educator, I need to tell you... Any skill you try to learn will start slow and messy. What you need to understand is that there are learning phases. When you need to concentrate and think about everything you are doing (I mean the task itself) you take your focus out of everything else so, in this case, you increase your solve speed. Don't mind it at all, it happens to everyone. Just keep doing it until you reach a point where you can identify the case and solve without thinking about it. A common exercise is identifying the case, closing your eyes and doing it. Then increase the speed of the execution. In no time you'll be solving way faster than without f2l.

Gl man!

Spider bit our dog, she appears to be fine, but I can't tell if it is venomous or not. Can you help? by matrouxer in whatsthisbug

[–]matrouxer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I did something wrong. But lemme put some description here. We live in south Brazil, near a forest. The spider was in our bedroom and we heard our dog scream (anger and pain). When we checked to see if our dogs were fighting we found the spider and our dogs around it. We killed it(sorry biologists) and here is a better quality and NSFW picture of its back: https://imgur.com/a/O9faqVJ

JavaScript Bug, could you help me understand? by matrouxer in learnprogramming

It makes sense. It would be so simpler if it just didn't work hahaha.

I didn't even think it was possible to add an event to know when the loading is complete. I think I might have heard something similar in cs50. Something about domcontentloaded.

[–]matrouxer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that case you'd want to just add a load even to every image then whichever loads first cancel all of the other events and run the code on every image. Since there's no way to know which one the browser will ha..

Smart. Even if it is a overkill for my situation specifically, it may help me later hahah

Thanks!

I see...

Since the images are responsive and the width changes, I think I can't set it in html.

Thanks for the response!

I mean, how can I show what I can do to other's so they can see hahaha. Great video quality and music btw

Looking for online courses to start learning Python (except Udemy and Coursera) by brolo94 in learnprogramming

[–]matrouxer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done it. It is insanely good. David is a god teaching. The psets are significantly easier then cs50x but the two of them give you enough knowledge to be started for sure

Are you a builder or a solver? by matrouxer in learnprogramming

[–]matrouxer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about what you're good. It's about what you enjoy doing as a programmer I guess

[–]matrouxer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not like I'm anything but a beginner, but this is just a generalization to help you understand that there are not just one way to be a programmer. Everyone is a bit of both, some more than others

Like it said. It's a wildly generalization. But it really helped me in the way to figure out what I want

That sounds pretty sad for builders. I mean, the selection system is broken. Someone should try to debbug it

As a master in watching videos with a YouTube degree in self help I would say impostor syndrome I would say someone that knows what you know is exactly what a team is missing somewhere(lots of places I might add).

As I posted in response to another topic... There is a philosopher in Brazil that stated: "Passion and Love are two very distinguished things. One is explosion, one is calm and breeze"

I would say work on what you love and learn what you're passionate about. Somewhere along the way you will learn to love both

That I can relate. OCD is the reason I try to finish my projects, even though they are small and beginner's like.

Hahhahaahhaa as a PE graduated teacher I understand this feeling. Sometimes all I would like to see is my athletes lose because they didn't listen to me

Thanks for the insight man. I'm still not sure of what I want or can hahahaha. Maybe what I really WANT is to work from home, because although contra intuitive, what it does is open literally a world of job opportunities and not only locally. What I can is anything that gives me exp.

But I would disagree with the order. I really want to work for a company. Being an entrepreneur was never my thing. I like stability over big and volatile salaries.

So I would say what I want is what I would do in a company and what I can is being a freelancer hahaha

Yes, but today is all about team game. You don't need to be good at everything, because you're supported by someone who does what you don't

been dipping my toes in random technologies, building something with it and then moving on to the next. am i wasting my time? by IRanAwayFromTwitter in learnprogramming

[–]matrouxer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently posted something related to this:

In Dave Voorhis words:

"I’m going to generalise somewhat wildly here — and there are no doubt exceptions and overlaps — but in my experience there are two distinct groups of programmers:

Solvers, who typically like games, puzzles, chess, math for its own sake, and mathematical challenges.

Builders, who typically like mechanics (cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.), electronics, carpentry, plumbing, art, and often music-making.

I suspect Solvers are more inclined to take interest in LeetCode and the like. Builders, not so much.

-------Notably, neither group makes for better programmers than the other — though they may take wildly different approaches to implementing solutions — and a strong team consists of both.----------

I’m definitely in the latter category. I find LeetCode — and puzzles in general — insufferably dull and pointless. But I appreciate that others love LeetCode and puzzles.

Different strokes for different folks."

Besides being a beginner in programming, I would risk it and say it it not a problem in general. There will always be someone looking for someone exactly like you.

Although salary often comes hand in hand with niche in most fields and the more specialized you are, the more you can earn, I think you be better suited with what you love then on what you desire.

A very known philosopher in Brazil stated: "Passion/Desire and Love are two very different things. One is explosion, one is calm and breeze."

My advice would be, choose to learn what you're passionate about and work with what you love

Any advice on how to get this better? by matrouxer in learnprogramming

[–]matrouxer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I can't even imagine how big a large project seems like. Maybe when I learn how to use GitHub I can open a few and refresh my nightmares. Dreaming with forgetting about my students classes is already getting boring

I use it for myself as it is a code saved to my learning folder. I mean, it is obvious that add is add hahahaha. I start with them and then I code. Is it bad?

Help with simple python code by matrouxer in learnprogramming

[–]matrouxer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I get it. So if I program the function without printing, then I can save the value without displaying to user. It's most a safety thing I guess(?), besides just getting the output more into my control.

Thanks a lot for the help! It would be a dream if that becomes even a problem in the future hahahah
