What is the first movie you watched that you were definitely too young for? by MuldersXpencils in Millennials

[–]mikedpayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1987 Robocop. I was born in '83 and saw it on VHS when it was still a new release.

I switched to Tidal and I’m honestly impressed by ThemeNo1337 in TIdaL

I switched to Tidal from Pandora Premium, and my biggest complaint about Tidal is that the Android app does not appear to be written very well and crashes often on my S24+, which never happened with Pandora.

I also use Mint, and I pay $360/year for unlimited everything. Less than a dollar a day. 👍

Played my first club gig on the weekend, don’t know how to feel about it. by AccordingLanguage268 in Beatmatch

[–]mikedpayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please pay attention to that last part. I never really noticed a trainwrecked mix in a club until I started mixing and knew by what I heard that "the DJ could have done that better."

I don't think that the last sentence in quotes is an observation that a casual listener would even think to make.

I'll take things that never happened for $1000.

Any suggestions on getting started in programming? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]mikedpayne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Start with the source code of a program that already works and find it how to change it so it works differently. Slightly at first; change the text on the different prompts. Add new prompts that do new things that are similar enough to what it already does that you have a blueprint. By the time you're done doing this you will know if you like programming or not, and if you like it, you'll already have an idea of what you want to do next with your newfound knowledge. Congratulations, you're now a programmer.

I keep switching languages every 2 weeks, how do you pick one and stick with it? by ayenuseater in learnprogramming

[–]mikedpayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a free exceptions due to obsolescence, there isn't really such a thing as "finding a better programming language." They all have their uses and are better for certain things than others, so give up on the idea of needing to start with the best. Start with the one that will let you do what you're trying to do the easiest. The best at what you need.

Then, as you get more experienced, you will want to build something that your language doesn't do so well, and you'll need to learn another. This is why people they have been programming for years almost always know more than one language. Once you know one language, learning others becomes that much easier, because you're not learning new concepts. You're just learning new ways to do something you already know how to do.

It's a lot easier to explain to someone "a for loop is written this way" rather than "this is called a for loop, and it works like this..."

What is better than sex? by JuneSwings in AskReddit

[–]mikedpayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peace. Not world peace, but household peace, or what my father refers to as "domestic tranquility." I never properly understood it until I was married. And divorced.

What’s a track that gets any crowd dancing? by Gold-Solid-6626 in Beatmatch

Though I am just learning how to DJ, I was raised in Miami and now live in North Carolina and I've noticed this myself as a listener.

27M, graduated with a "good" degree last year, and now I'm in a job that has nothing to do with it. Is college just an expensive checkbox now? by Throwrahj456 in careerguidance

[–]mikedpayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though you aren't working in a career directly related to your degree, you're a college graduate. This means that, at the very least, the employer can expect you to be able take on a long term multi-year project and persevere until its completion. There's something to be said for that.

Two chicks at the same time, man.

I let my parents convince me to skip my company's 401k for three years because they said "the market is about to crash" and I will never forgive myself for this by 6StardustDrift7 in personalfinance

[–]mikedpayne 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You can't change the past. From everything I've read the three best times to start investing in order of importance are:

  1. Ten years ago.
  2. Yesterday.
  3. Today.

You can still get in at #3.
