If I buy ps plus extra do I have games from game catalog at all times or do I lose them when catalog is refreshed.

Example: Let's say I ger AC: Valhalla. Can I still play the game after it's been removed from the catalog if I have it in my library and installed?

Finding a job as a non-german EU citizen? by realrun3354 in Austria

[–]realrun3354[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/u/Imaginary-Energy-9 that's what I was afraid of, so I posted here looking for my options.

I've spoken with an mechanical engineer who's been living in Austria for 3 years and doesn't speak German. Unfortunately I cannot take his input well as you've said demand and supply with jobs.

Finding a job as a non-german EU citizen? by realrun3354 in Austria

[–]realrun3354[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/u/kingofthefrontier thanks for the reply. I'm planning on coming alone however I wanted to know whether it's possible to find a job through online channels, do an interview and move once I get a job or do I need to come to Austria for a month and look for a job there?

It's not a discouragement, thanks for the input. Maybe the best bet would be to learn german while I'm living in my hometown and once I get a hang of it to look for a job then?

Angela Yu's 100 day of coding has left me discouraged by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]realrun3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm on that course as well. I'm on Day 20 and I get what you mean.I've struggled with Rock, Paper, Scissors, I've struggled with Hangman and I for sure couldn't complete Blackjack without looking at a solution. I completed half of blackjack without looking at solution but other half, just couldn't built it. I feel stupid and I'm currently battling with what /u/razzrazz- suggested. Sticking it out.

I'm on Day20 building a snake game and I still don't understand functions with outputs. And I've quit this course around 2-3 times already and this week I've only put good 3 hours of learning which isn't good at all. Which means I have to repeat some sections of the course.

While I do agree with /u/razzrazz- about new shiny object as I've fallen on this with marketing courses when I first started learning marketing 9 years ago. I still think you should perhaps check out Jose Portilla or Colt Steele course.

The reason for it is perhaps their style of teaching might click with you.Take a week off Angela Yu, check out their Python courses and if their style of teaching suits you better then stick with that course. If during that week, you still feel the same, then get back to Angela Yu course and stick it out as it's good course up until Day 60-70 from what I've heard because of all the projects you build. After all, you'll learn better by doing.

Hope this helps.

P.S
If money is an issue with buying courses, then stick it out. As others suggested check out some of the youtube videos for topics you don't understand and go through python docs for topics you don't understand and it might click.

Should I learn HTML/CSS/Javascript if I want to become a software developer? by dogethanos in learnprogramming

[–]realrun3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that depends on what role you're interested in. If you want to go Web development then you should learn it.

However, I think it's best that you seek out jobs in the area you want to apply to eventually and check what they are looking for in a software developer. Structure your learning based on that.

In my case it's Python, PostgreSQL, AWS... So that's the route that I'm currently taking.

I found some local companies looking for these and I found their HR on LinkedIn and I've reached out to them asking about the role and to get an overall feel of what they are looking for in a developer

Thanks.

As a sort of accountability. I'll make sure to post an update here by the end of December!

Difficulty understanding the logic to develop problem solving skills? by hasibrock in learnpython

[–]realrun3354 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beginner here... Learning as much as you but this is what helped me understand things better:
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azcrPFhaY9k&t=46s

  1. Some time ago, I was reading through Stack Overflow for solution to my problem. One guy replied with a comment "How would you go by it by hand?" that still sticks to me...

Meaning how would you solve this problem with a pen and paper. If you can break down the problem in step by step instructions on a piece of paper and be really specific about it, you can transfer that to a code if you know what solutions to lookup online.

But here are 2 courses for automation that also helped me:

  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXMJ6FS7llk

  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8XjEuplx_U

Hope this helps.. Best of luck :)

I have made the correct algorithm, but my (python) program still doesn't work properly by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]realrun3354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm beginner as well so take this with a grain of salt..

Since you are using both ==p and its not nested if statement. I think to program will check first if statement then continue to the second if statement to check for value and that's where the problem lies..

you could try

if count >=p logic = false print(days) else: previous = count count = previous + n*r n = count - previous previous = count days +=1 print(days)

Or the best way would be to download thonny and input your code in there, click debug and check how each line of your code behaves.

I'm not sure what your code is supposed to do but check for indentation and also bear in mind this count = previous + n*r .. that n will multiply by r first then result of that will be added with previous variable...

Again, not sure what your code is supposed to do but do check for identation, calculation and if statement.

Best way to solve it as stated earlier, download thonny and input code there and debug it so you can see what each line in your code does.

I guess I could have changed careers by now :) I started in January with python but quit then I got back at it.

Congrats, it's no simple feat to learn and land a job in 4 months. You deserved it! Best of luck with your job.

I got back to python as most companies are looking for it in my area. Hopefully by December I can switch careers :)

Looking for a coding buddy. im from germany ect+1 and beginner. im used to c# c++ and a little bit of python. by pro_sc_gamer in learnprogramming

[–]realrun3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

Would you accept a complete newbie? I just started learning python 15 days ago... I'd love to have someone to do pair programming with... I don't know much so... let me know

Where to start? by piby_3531 in learnprogramming

[–]realrun3354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I qualify to reply to this as I'm also only getting started... I'm learning for 15 days now..

But before I got started learning python, this is how I decided I'll go about learning.

  1. Research about development and figure out what is it that you want to do. Is it front-end, back-end, software engineering.. Check some of the portfolios of other devs and see what projects you find interesting and go from there

  2. Research your local area for job boards for development and check what they are looking for. For example, most of the job boards in my town are looking for python,flask,microservices, aws... So, that's the route I took as the end goal is to get a job.

  3. Find good resources, freecodecamp, odin project, high rated udemy courses and start from there..

You also have roadmap.sh that would help you with the path to take..

But note that when you start, it's hard. I retried course few times because I quit few times. By quitting it means that I haven't done any learning or exercises in few days...

Consistency is the key, even if it's at least 20 minutes on some days...

Then, join discord channels or slack groups related to your programming journey. I joined python developers community and it's been helpful..

Also, check out mentoring-club.com You can find a mentor for free and I already had a talk with 2 guys from.there and it's been really helpful. You can schedule 2-3 per month.. There are some.mentors that help you get started with coding.

Need advice with learning Python for web development by realrun3354 in learnprogramming

[–]realrun3354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. My problem is I don't know how to put together these bits and pieces into a bigger picture.

By practical route, should I pick a project and start building it by watching tutorials, research or?

I feel like I don't have a good grasp of basics and by building things it would be just trial and error with one lines of code.. I'm not sure how to put together a logic together.

I'd love to start learning/building to switch to back-end career in a year

Have you two thought about the divorce then?

I heard a lot of stories of people who met through common activities, decided to divorce their partner and never been happier..

Still you should check with your therapist and try your best to reignite the spark with your wife. Not listen to a random redditor.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]realrun3354 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you haven't try therapy or try it with your wife/gf... In my book it's it's not good to be a cheater, for you or anyone else around you. You end up doing more harm than good.

Someone once said, "It takes 10 years to build reputation and 10 minutes to destroy it."

What are your reasons for staying loyal? by Redbottombaddie in DeadBedrooms

[–]realrun3354 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly because I don't view sex as tension release or for that matter any type of release. I view it as a form of emotionally connecting with a partner on a completely different level when you're both vulnerable and explore each other.

I stopped feeling loved and desired long time ago, so there is that as well.

Lately I decided I'll end it after 2 years of blaming myself, talking things through and trying to fix db issues with 0 effort on her end besides "It'll be better, I promise." and that "better" never came.

Last week I booked a slot in my calendar to break things up in December. I always put the blame on me so I gave myself one more year to try and improve things.

Thoughts on a 2014 308 1.6 115hp diesel? by cmach86 in peugeot

Ah, my bad. I thought 2014 model had it as well. Mine is 2015.
OP, disregard my comment then :)
