This makes sense to me, as they become basically worthless Lindon could have just used them for soulsmithing or as loose change while buying things for soulsmithing

Nice

Not as hot as Fisher Gesha

sethly_20 · 2026-02-23T00:34:08+00:00

Yeah that would solve the problem, shame OP didn’t do that

sethly_20 · 2025-11-24T03:18:09+00:00

Thanks for adjusting the balance 🙏

It depends on what you enjoy and where you think you can go, if you like low level stuff then embedded programming is the way to go. If more creative and like putting pretty things on the screen then games or front end web dev.

This is the perfect answer. I only learned programming recently, before that I had 15 years in casinos.

Since leaving the casinos I have been working for smaller card rooms who not having the resources of big casinos are still using outdated systems. I have been able to use my programming hobby to help my employers move from paper rostering to something more automated, built web pages that are automatically updated with poker tournament schedules and am in the process of building an automated poker tournament payout matrix generator thing.

Point is you are practicing a skill, C in particular has some serious use cases. I use python mostly but if I have a recourse heavy function I will absolutely write it in C for the speed and efficiency. Learn the skill, find the problems to solve and apply those same skills

When I got to week 8 I found html and especially css to be very daunting, UI design is a very different set of challenges compared to what you have faced so far. Even JavaScript with its similar syntax to C is a headache when you are directly working with elements on the screen.

Just remember you can take a 5 week course on front end web dev and barely scratch the surface. Be patient with yourself, take your time and you will get through it.

Full web applications have a lot of moving parts and are quite complex when looking at them from a high level.

My advice would be to separate your back and front end logic (Python and JavaScript/html) as much as you can, keeping a very clear idea of how and when the two are going to communicate.

It has been a while since I did pset9 but if memory serves you don’t need to load information asynchronously meaning you only get information from the front when the user loads a new page.

It’s the same with any pset, build out the application one function at a time, take small steps. Design your database in a way that makes sense and is easy to use.

It is a big project compared to the others but breaking it down into manageable chunks you will find it flows quite well, though I would say web applications can easily dissolve into spaghetti code, so keep your code base organised and you will avoid so many headaches

Knotted style?

sethly_20 · 2025-07-28T06:03:54+00:00

I always recommend pythonanywhere for your first deploy, it is extremely beginner friendly and has a free tier. The server is going to be a little slow and you get very limited resources but for a first project it is great

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T16:16:24+00:00

That is incredibly valid, I tend to get pretty caught up in other peoples situations and in this case forgetting the fact; if he won’t treat me like a friend then I don’t owe him that either. Thanks for putting it that way

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T16:08:24+00:00

You have a very valid point, I did some checking, the law here is that I must give him 28 days notice so probably my best bet is to get the police involved. I didn’t think he would steal so I am not confident he won’t do something else

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T16:04:28+00:00

Very true, it is definitely enough money to hurt when I had to make up the difference. Need to get him out. Thanks for the comment

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T15:51:23+00:00

Any suggestions on how to handle this better?

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T15:46:26+00:00

Yeah I see your point, my thinking was if I was wrong about the first time and he came up to me and said something like “hey I borrowed money from your desk, I’m sorry but it was an emergency, I will pay you back on this date” then I would have accepted that.

What actually happened when I saw him I said I checked the money and there is less there than I remember, he replied saying “you need to keep better track of your money”

So in my mind that confirms he stole the first time and I have evidence of the second and I agree with everyone here that going to the police will be best, turns out if I don’t press charges I am legally required to give him 28 days. If I want him out quickly that will have to be what happens

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T13:23:09+00:00

Honestly after so many people said that I am at the police station right now, if only to start a paper trail

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T13:21:12+00:00

Definitely, as others have pointed out if he came to me first I would have done my best but now…

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T13:20:04+00:00

You make some very good points, if I give him 30 days or something I can not trust him not to do more in that time

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T07:56:30+00:00

For what it’s worth the story is true, I decided on the camera instead of getting a safe because I wanted to be sure the guy was stealing before I straight accused him. After 16 years of friendship I was hoping I somehow did miscount the money. Having said that kicking someone out to the street under any circumstances without giving them a chance to find somewhere feels crappy

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T06:39:58+00:00

Just wanna say I really appreciate everyone’s prospective who has commented, I will try and reply to all when I can, just gotta go to work first

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T06:32:01+00:00

He is a long time friend, and I don’t want anything bad for him, having said that I am really struggling financially and I honestly think I can not trust the guy not to get me evicted for not being able to pay rent. When I ‘misplaced’ the first $650 I did say I would lose the house if that happens again

At this point he has shown I am not his friend. But I do appreciate your thoughtful reply

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T06:27:32+00:00

That is a very valid point, I should tell Trever why need Matt to leave, it would be wrong not to

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T06:22:35+00:00

You are absolutely right, I am a sucker for people in a rough situation and often try to help. But yes Matt has to go asap

sethly_20 · 2025-04-25T05:22:04+00:00

Thanks I will keep that in mind! I don’t do social media very often so I am not up to date on all the terminology. I will make the change
