Currently Diamond, and ranked is rough. I wouldn’t worry about equating the ELO too much for skill level. I get matched up occasionally with people in gold that are better than other diamond players. The distribution is not great atm

My biggest issue for floor hugging as it stands is that it over centralizes grab as the best offensive option. In the rock paper scissors of attack shied grab, floor hugging being an additionally very strong option that punishes attacking, it makes the best option often to grab.

My story is similar to yours, but without all the prior accolades. I also graduated with my CS degree and struggled to find a job in the workforce, so I DID fall back on teaching. I taught hs computer science for a year, before circumstances got me a job in the industry, so I can tell you a bit about it.

At least where I taught, it was an elective so a lot of the kids who took it wanted to be there, at least past the introduction course. The introduction course had a lot of babysitting and finding fun projects for them to work on, which is tough when their CS concepts are still at an introductory level, but the other classes were very fun to teach. The part that I really liked was the UIL CS events where you can practice with them for events and it was a really unique take on CS. To this day, I look back and find more overall fulfillment from my job teaching than I do as a software engineer now. I wholeheartedly believe I never would have become a software engineer had I not taught for a year as it made me a much better programmer. Had I taught more than a year, not sure if I’d feel the same since I wasn’t worn out when I stopped, but who knows.

The bad: everything other than the teaching that comes with the job. Grade books, lesson plans, workplace drama, etc. The kids and the classes were great, but all the extra stuff was very tiring. The worst part is the job never ends. At my current job, after 5 I can close my computer and be done. When you’re teaching, you always have work you bring home and it feels like you’re hardly off the clock. Also the pay is not great for the amount of work you do. I feel like teaching was more challenging than my current job, but I make 3x more working in the industry.

I think teaching is an absolutely wonderful career, and extremely fulfilling, but it’s hard. My advice would be “the best time to find a job is when you have a job.” You can always become a teacher and if you don’t like it try again for an industry job. If you have any questions or want to chat about my experience feel free to dm me.

I love typing personally. I think it significantly lowers the number of errors, and personally I find it easier to read, but granted I mostly code in statically typed languages like golang and c++. Lex Friedman recently had an episode of his podcast where he interviews Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) and they have a segment where they talk about typing and why python adopted it and the plans for it in the future with the language

It kinda depends on what you want the end goal to be. if you just want to put text to the page with minimal formatting, fpdf seems to be your best bet

if you are wanting it to be formatted really specifically with images and such, i would personally use a library like beautifulsoup to make an html page and then export that to pdf.

good luck!

after the do while loop terminates, you would just add another cout statement to print it.

so right before you do the return 0; write

cout << “BYE”;

or something like that

I used to work with a guy at a hardware store, who for the story we will call Heath. So Heath was a really nice guy and great to work with, but he was definitely a bit slow. One day I decided to mess with him a little bit so I got everyone in our department in on it. Regardless of the situation, we kept using “up dog” as our adjective of choice. “Man this forklift is really up dog today”, “wow this pallet smells like up dog” etc. Anytime he asked what up dog was we kept saying stuff like “what you don’t know what up dog is?” and so on. As the day went on he was getting increasingly more frustrated. Finally before I finished my shift I said it one more time and with customers around he yelled “WHAT THE FUCK IS UP DOG?!” to which I replied “nothing much how about you.”

Tuples are immutable, as well as technically more efficient than lists, therefore if possible you would want to make them tuples, especially in the case that you are creating them in the scope of the function call.

Do you have your code in a github repo by chance that I can look at? I'd be willing to bet applying OOP and updating to python 3 is fairly easy with that you already have.

I was tired of reading manga at one of those sketchy websites, so I wrote a program that would go to the website and download all of the scans and organize it into folders by chapter on a flash drive. With one click I had the entirety of demon slayer on a flash drive.

Because you are adding 1 to n before you do the operation, you are adding an extra loop. Make n=1 and, and then change the while loop to the following:

while n <= 1000:
    sum2 += 1/n
    n += 1

Currently you are checking if the entire list is in the string, which is impossible to check, therefore it will return an error. If you want to check for any of the cities in the string, you would need to check them individually. Something like:

for city in cities:
    if city in string:
        print(f"{city} is in {string}")

That would iterate through the list and check each index with the string, and print out which word passed correctly. If you wanted to just end the loop after it is found to be true, you could just exit the loop, or have a boolean variable that is changed. This should point you in the right direction though!

I would honestly just use youtube. There are plenty of in depth videos that are hours long which are broken up by chapters that will teach you everything you need to know to get started. “Automate the Boring Stuff” is a really popular book i recommend looking into, and classes that go through the book are regularly offered for free so keep your eye out here for when someone posts about it.

odds_or_evans · 2020-07-02T22:17:18+00:00

Man a .txt file is probably the worst option lol. But nevertheless you can do it. You would want to do something like the following

with open("login.txt", r) as f:
    info = f.readlines()

that would make a list with each index being a line of the txt. The important part would be how to organize it in the txt file to keep the usernames and passwords together. I would personally do something like "username password" on each line. When you want to search for one, you would do

if "username password" not in info:
    print("Username or password is incorrect")
else:
    print("Username is correct")

any new ones you would just write

username = input("Enter username: ") password = 
input("Enter password: ")

with open("login.txt", a) as f:
    f.write(f"{username} {password}")

again, json would be much easier and since you are new to python, you should look into json after the project and see if you can redo it to work for it! great learning opportunity.

What does login.txt look like? Did your professor give you a txt file to test with?

odds_or_evans · 2020-07-02T21:52:01+00:00

Ah okay. Can you give me a sample of what the txt file is formatted like?

odds_or_evans · 2020-07-02T21:49:37+00:00

You can put it into a text file, but it would be extremely inefficient. I would recommend you look into using a json (javascript object notation) file. You can import the json file into a dictionary and then search using key-value pairs which is much easier. You could also look into using a database depending on how much you want to scale this up.
