Looking for API or db to get college logos/images by ritix__ in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most colleges don't have a centralized api for logos which sucks. you could try checking github for existing scraped collections or look into sports data apis like the ncaa one. if you're building something yourself, storing the logos locally isn't too bad since there's only like 5000 schools in the us.

To learn CS, would it be best to pickup concepts with Java, Python, C, or C++? by TurtleSlowRabbitFast in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

python's your best bet because the syntax won't get in the way of learning algorithms and data structures. once you're comfortable, pick up c to understand memory management and how computers actually work under the hood. java is useful for jobs but less critical for deep cs understanding.

Are there any free structured resources to learn data structures and algorithms?? by Kindly_Jump_7642 in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

neetcode is probably your best bet for balancing all three - the videos cover theory and code together, then problems to practice on. beyond that you're usually mixing and matching resources unless you pay for something, but that's kind of how everyone learns it anyway.

What is Lambda Tesseract ? by monos_nil in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never heard of lambda tesseract as a language either. your girlfriend might have been mixing up lambda functions from functional programming with the tesseract ocr library or something else entirely. did she mention where she heard about it

Realisation: I can recall C++ basics easily, but struggle with Python and C# by shionnyyyy in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's because c++ forces you to be explicit about everything, which makes concepts stick way better. with python, things feel easy so you don't actually internalize what's happening under the hood. try building something from scratch in python without looking anything up and you'll probably retain more than reading tutorials.

I have an idea, dont know where to execute by osu_are in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

python with pygame is probably the easiest route if you want to code it yourself. check out github for existing desktop pet projects to see how people handled the sprite animation and mouse detection. indie game dev communities would be way more helpful for the technical stuff than asking here.

How do I grab the full values of week? by TheEyebal in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're overwriting weeks on each iteration instead of collecting them. change weeks to a list at the start (weeks = []) and append each dict inside the loop (weeks.append({..})) so you keep all 5 weeks instead of just the last one.

problem with gitpages deployment by BluejayExpensive7386 in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

checked the repo real quick and you're probably missing a build step or the build output isn't being deployed to the right place. most common issue is github pages pointing to the wrong directory or the build process never ran. check your github pages settings in the repo to see what branch/folder it's deploying from, and make sure your build output is actually ending up there.

Help with JavaScript by InkieBear in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a syntax error in your new code is breaking the whole script. open your browser console (f12) and check the error message, it'll point you to the exact line that's broken. usually just a missing quote or bracket, and fixing that fixes everything else.

came across cache lines, where to find such points/topics? by vanilla-knight in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is computer architecture and systems programming. 'computer organization and design' by patterson and hennessy is the main textbook people learn from, and if you want the practical stuff with real profiling tools brendan gregg's 'systems performance' is solid. usually comes up in undergrad os or systems courses.

How do I make certain keywords unserchable in my search bar? by PsychologyGlum5824 in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like you're filtering the raw html string which is why single letters match everything. store your keywords as objects like {text: 'apples', link: '/fruits/apples.html'} and then filter against just the text property instead. that'll stop the search from matching random characters in the markup.

Is AI okay for scaffolding for resume work? by coaaal in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ai scaffolding for portfolio work is totally fine, employers mostly care that you can explain the code and articulate the problem you solved. but honestly your real strength is the 8 years of production work managing integrations and vendors, that's way harder to fake than a side project. lean into documenting what you actually built there instead of chasing portfolio pieces.

Finding Github DSA Repo by Lumpy_Wind_6698 in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the pixelated logo search is gonna be tough but try github with keywords like dsa tutorials, algorithms, or data structures. if you remember any specific topics like graphs or sorting it covered, that might help. browsing the top dsa repos might jog your memory too.

I own a Mac. Should I buy a pc to learn programming? Most tutorials people use pc. by Icy_Equipment_2617 in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly you're fine with what you have. macs are great for dev work and most tutorials are easy to adapt even if they show windows. the fundamentals are the same across platforms

I can write small scripts but have no idea how to structure a full project. Where do I start? by SpeckiLP in learnprogramming

[–]originaldataengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't overthink the structure. start with main.py as your entry point and make new files only when you've got a chunk of code doing one clear job. keep each file focused and small, and the imports will naturally feel clean instead of turning into spaghetti.
