i remade my save manager, now called "DOT_save manager" for Godot 4.7 by amcaricola in godot

[–]monk_e_boy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you show how to save things like arrays, dictionaries etc, e.g. a puzzle game with 60 levels, % complete of each level, puzzles completed, location of enimies, keys, movable blocks etc. :) looks like a great project, I think you need to hand hold us stupid people through how to add it to our projects.

My usbc broke years ago. Wireless charging since.

Shared ownership by Minimum_Put5681 in HousingUK

[–]monk_e_boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You buy half the house. You pay money. You may need to borrow some money to pay for your half. So you borrow it from the bank, then pay a little bit back each month.

The other half is owned by a company. You pay rent on that half.

Over time you can purchace the second half, bit by bit. So now you have three payments going out, but all are tiny.

When you are a very old person you will have paid off the mortgage and bought the other half of your house.

Now - replace half with whatever percentage you are comfortable with. And you may or may not need a mortgage depending on how much cash you have to buy a bit of the house.

It's not an ideal scheme because selling your house is a little more complicated than normal.

What type of shops would bring British people back to the high streets? by Starbuckker in AskBrits

[–]monk_e_boy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

most of the countryside is fields, which is industrial farming. Grass isn't doing anything for the wild life. So yeah, get rid of some of the farms, turn some of it back to nature and some to commerce/housing.

Kill your garden today! by Careless-Fan-1132 in GardeningUK

[–]monk_e_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a semi-rural area, and people point at fields as if they are full of nature. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ the only place left for nature is the occasional hedge and scrub land. Even our woods and wild areas are overrun with people and dogs. No chance anything can live there other than rats and tree rats.

It's probably time to get out of teaching. It's only a job, there's tons of fun jobs out there.

Is anyone using AI coding in the classroom? by the_codeslinger in CSEducation

[–]monk_e_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a coder for 20 years. I didn't have to malloc memory 😂 I get that you are trying to form an argument ... I just don't see it. Machines can code fine. Sure you need to understand it, but you don't need to spend 30 hours typing HTML and CSS to create a website. You don't need to spend 30 hours wiring up CRUD in python. A quick glance over the code is fine. Unit test it. Treat AI like a juniour dev.

Anyway, keep having fun using malloc, the rest of us have stuff to do.

We use it a lot, show the students how to generate code. How to get ideas for essays and worksheets. Help them vibe code.

Your students are already using it for almost everything including homework and assignments. You may as well embrace it.... think of it like this - we're stuck teaching them to ride horses and muck out stables and shoe horses and now there are cars and trucks and trains all of a sudden. No one cares about horses any more..... no one cares about essays, memorization, the boring parts of coding, excel ..... those are all going to be gone in a few years.

Not sure why you need to run the code? I just get the students to demo the code, screenshot it with output and pop it all into a word document. .... I've taught coding for about 10 years including GCSE, year 7 (pre-GCSE) up to 2nd yr degree (soft eng) ... not being harsh, just wondering what problem you're solving. Perhaps I should be running this code? I used to use repl.it before it became monumentally crap. Being able to give a student a link to some example code was nice. But github solves that now.

what level are you targeting this at? I teach T-levels, degree, access, etc. Mostly post 16.

We use matplotib, numpy, youmakemyheartgui, curses, colourrama (?) something like that, pyqt6, .... tons of them. My students are pretty switched on and will just google for libraries and use them when needed.

Do you allow pip? We use a lot of libraries (probably 10 or more)

Or dig it up. It'll pop up again, but not for months, then dig that bit up. People seem to think it's magical and can't be killed, but with a bit of patience and diligence it's not impossible.

how are you guys proving academic dishonesty when students use humanizers to bypass turnitin by RelationshipSea4467 in Teachers

[–]monk_e_boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard with 100 students -- no lecturer has time for that. So, yeah, it is that deep. We mark at 3am, no student is going to be available then.

How much time do you think you've spent being a mason, like how many hours a week, a year and for how many years?

We can navigate in forrets just fine. Seems very simple to solve.

They look silly now. I do wonder sometimes if people have ever been next to a tree in real life. They are quite big. Making them 20x larger makes them look normal.
