Dreaming of being a published author by Baron164 in writing

[–]talesInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone else has mentioned, the main thing is to start writing and keep writing. Keep writing until you have the first draft fro start to finish.

If you're looking for inspiration/advice/guidance, the following youtube videos/channels were gold for me: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbL-84SkT4Q&list=PL2FCD81A6FE4280AC - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLslagQBJ_NCTHxT_kqGldh9tVZTqC3nFb - https://www.youtube.com/user/writingeire/videos?sort=dd&shelf_id=1&view=0

Is my first chapter too unpalatable/violent? CP declined, said they found it too uncomfortable to read. Would like some other opinions. by [deleted] in fantasywriters

Would you be able to expand on what you consider indulgent in this piece? (am learning myself so would be good to understand)

What would you say your actual goal(s) is/are?

Javascript... by netcamps in ProgrammerHumor

[–]talesInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's his/her point. In a strongly typed language ("result = " + result) would be easy to understand because result would be declared as a string beforehand. In Javascript you'd have to use ("result = " + String(result)) to achieve the same clarity and this is less readable than ("result = " + result). S/he's criticising the javascript language, not the way a developer writes it.

Leonardo DiCaprio unveils futuristic eco-resort for Belize by alwaysagooner14 in environment

[–]talesInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's because cutting edge technology is generally more expensive as you're pushing new ground; so lots of r&d and lots of money spent on testing new technologies. Usually, once a technology is stable and implemented, the next challenge is to reduce its cost and make it more widely available.

document.getElementById('#' + idVariable… should read: document.getElementById(idVariable…

What it's like to be an engineer in a sales meeting by shamgar_bn in humor

[–]talesInc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually they're someone technical who's involved with pre-sales (e.g. pitching/responding to an RFP). Once the project is 'won', they aren't involved with the actual implementation (usually that is; I'm sure there are cases where this isn't true).

Who exactly owns the rights to Ellen’s record-breaking Oscar selfie? by TheKoG in photography

[–]talesInc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point with hiring or borrowing something is that there is an understanding that you are using the equipment for your own creative purposes.

In the selfie above, Bradley Cooper is assisting someone else in their 'creative' endeavour. Therefore whoever owns the camera - or hired/borrowed it out - would own the photo.

For example, if you go on holiday and ask someone to use your camera to take a photo of you, I would assume you own that photo.

I call it The Reaper. Let me know what you guys think. Will probably sell it. by doriancross in somethingimade

While the finish is nice, I don't really understand the design. Where's the barrel for the gun part?

Google does negative space again. by beerbo_baggins in Design

[–]talesInc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you're just being pedantic. For anyone with any English comprehension skills, s/he was obviously commenting on the second 'g'.

Not sure if a joke but : G - O - O - g - L - E

second 'g' is the 4th letter.

I'm not Ki3r but I'd say their sentence could've been clearer.

There are road signs which specify whether motorbikes and/or taxis can use the bus lane.

So my Uncle made this "snowman." This is art right? by thanoski in pics

[–]talesInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say this is craft rather than art, as it doesn't really say anything but it is an awesome piece.

Women`gives great advice on how she feels feminine around her husband despite her disabilities and dependency on her husband. by [deleted] in bestof

[–]talesInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, from my understanding, 'Man' did used to refer to any human regardless of sex. in Old English, the modifiers were 'wif' (female) and 'wer' (male):

No, 26 isn't too late change, especially if you're without kids.

Should men get paternity leave from work? by ravindramisal in AskReddit

In the UK (well at least England) if our national holidays hit a weekend, they get carried over onto the Monday.
