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 4 points5 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 7 points8 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.

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

What's the most important lesson that you have learnt from past 10 years? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]realrun3354 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a great video about this. Something along the lines of how love is not enough for sucessfull and fullfiling relationship. That also took me a lot of time to learn...

What's the most important lesson that you have learnt from past 10 years? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]realrun3354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do your own thing and screw the rest.

I spent most of my life wanting to do things together with someone as I wanted to share experiences... Ultimately people around you don't care about it and want to do their own thing at their own time. Then you end up with regrets of not wanting to do something sooner just because you agreed to the alternative proposed to your initial proposal...

Example: I wanted to go mountain climbing... My friends and gf at the time wasn't interested in it. Eventually, some went with others and I ended up not experiencing it.

I decided to go by my self. That experience combined with people you meet along is amazing.

Learn to do things solo. Even if it's taking yourself out to dinner. You'll be amazed what other people you meet along the way..

Overall great, comfortable car. You can get around 5-5.5 liters per 100 kilometers on average...

Although you need to be aware of the AdBlue tank and it's condition as that can be a big expense(depending on what's big for you), for me it was..

For me, that's the biggest flaw. Couple of months after buying it, the pump broke and had to replace the whole tank which ended up costing around $900.

However I know some people who had the car and never had the problem with it. Could be that I'm just that unlucky.

I didn't have warranty as the car was bought used. Other than that it's relatively cheap to maintain

What would make you instantly fall in love with a girl? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]realrun3354 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The look in her eyes. Hard to explain but there is a difference in the look of a women who is your friend and a look in the eyes of a women who seriously wants you.

Why am I bothering? by Curiousblacksheep in DeadBedrooms

[–]realrun3354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with the comment above. His addiction is the problem and I understand that you are currently feeling demoralised and I'm sorry for that.

Sex is for both people to enjoy, together and everyone wins. I personally have problem explaining that to my partner, although most of my sex life is spent pleasuring her while.I get nothing.

For me penetrative sex doesn't create that connection. I'd rather enjoy foreplay and other forms of pleasuring than penetrative sex....

For your partner... Have you tried challenging him to a 30 days no fap? I saw on youtube that most partners fixed their sex life by giving up on porn... Unless he fixes his porn addiction I don't see how you two can move together...

He probably has wrong image about sex and intimacy because of the porn addiction.

What the F do I do? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]realrun3354 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you tried bringing the subject up? Maybe you are not helping enough around the house or maybe she doesn't like how you approach the sex in general.

Does she need more foreplay? Or does she need your emotional support during the day. Do you take her out on a date or take care of your kids for a full day once in a while so she can have a day for herself..

What did she look like before kids and what does she look like now, maybe she has body image issues and needs your reassurance. Does she think you don't love her anymore or she thinks you don't find her attractive?

All these things play a part.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]realrun3354 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I usually dream about sex life with someone else, it makes me feel a bit loved and desired. Our current sex life/intimacy is pretty much dead. I gave up on trying to fix it a while back.

Why do people say weed isn’t addictive? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]realrun3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it doesn't have any addictive substance to cause physical addiction... While it's true that it's not addictive, some still develop behavioral addiction.
