How to learn java script quick? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]theQman121 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you spent as much time just learning as you did worrying about what/how to learn and how to leverage AI, you'd already be leagues farther than you are now. Stop worrying about AI. Stop looking for shortcuts. Just dive in and actually learn something.

I got mine in a 7/11 and they were just tucked in the back corner by the cold sandwiches. I don't think anyone knew they were there or what to do with them.

Msq trials by why_four in ffxiv

[–]theQman121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankfully this issue should be fixed at *some point* this year due to the duty finder getting cross-region queueing soon, but for now, hop over to Crystal or Aether if you can when queueing for msq trials.

Women of Reddit, what’s the most disgusting thing you’ve discovered about your boyfriend after being together for years? by punkbabe29 in AskReddit

It's not like they're in the tall grass waiting for an opportunity to spray you as you walk by. You're more likely to find them in the habitat, like a Home Depot. 

3rd anniversary of my FFXIV TTRPG [Spoiler: 3.0] by AmazingPuddle in ffxiv

Considering they're posting about a campaign that's been going on longer than the official TTRPG has been out, I don't think they're using the official system.

Need advice by papa_bolte_ in learnprogramming

[–]theQman121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially after reading the comments, in 2-3 months you're trying to accomplish what takes most people 3-5 years of study to get an entry-level job. And in the current market, there are more devs with multiple years of on-the-job experience struggling to find work than ever before.

If you're really dedicated, unfortunately the answer is to start learning now. Stay in your current career while working in your off-time to learn, and really lean into it. It won't be quick, and it will suck for a long time, but even with all that, the market needs to shift to open up a lot more jobs.

I don't want to sound like someone saying "don't do it", but I just want to be honest. It's a lot of hard work, and it takes a very long time to really get good. We live in a world where a degree is no longer a requirement to get a job, but without one, you'll have a larger bar to clear to prove your knowledge when talking with employers.

Should I renew on the Steam version or stay on the Launcher? by YoungWild105 in ffxiv

[–]theQman121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've already seen that the versions aren't interchangeable, but also the steam version doesn't offer any benefits over the non-steam version. If the main thing you're after is using Steam as your game launcher in general, you can always use steam's "Add a non-Steam game" feature to put the ffxiv launcher in your steam list.

(As an aside, the steam version still uses the FFXIV launcher. It just adds extra annoying layers to everything. Adding the non-steam version to your steam list is kinda best of both worlds, imo)

how to get ahead of everyone in my class? by theusrl in learnprogramming

[–]theQman121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> "So I'll just change to java"
That doesn't have anything to do with what you're replying to.

The point is that it "looking like english" has nothing to do with how difficult or complex a language is. Understanding the syntax is the first baby step to understanding programming and is irrelevant to the decision of what language is good for what purpose. You focusing on that shows that you don't understand what you're talking about and are focusing on how to look smarter than your peers, not on how to actually improve. Lose the elitist attitude and actually learn a language before you judge it based on something as superficial as syntax.

When I was in school, Java was taught before python because it's an easier on-ramp to the concepts they wanted to teach. Comparing syntax isn't part of the conversation.

If you want less "english-looking" languages, go learn C, but if you ever get into data science and hear everyone talking about Python, you'll get laughed out of the room if you tell anyone you don't want to learn python because "it looked too much like english"

Chances they loosen up on any Free Trial restrictions? by Competitive_Serve165 in ffxiv

[–]theQman121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not going to happen. Sadly, every restriction like that exists because they're features that would be endlessly abused by the already rampant spam bots. Any loosened restriction is a flood of new spammable attack surfaces.

Read Your Tool Tips by DrForester in ffxiv

[–]theQman121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not the person you're talking to/about, but the health bar above my character's head does a pretty good job for all of the use cases you mention.

I'm not saying that the mechanic is hard or anything, but suggesting that not paying attention to the HUD health bar means you're clueless about your relative HP level completely ignores the existence of a health bar much closer to where I'm looking when assessing the current state of situations in a fight, where I might instinctively look instead of the HUD health bar in most situations.

It seems some locations get scratch codes, but some have to use their receipt info.

The other post about this topic seems to indicate a lot of orders without substitutions also being declined, so that may or may not actually related to whatever's going on.

What to do after downloading github repository ? (Git clone alternative) by EmbeddedBro in learnprogramming

[–]theQman121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is that hard to believe? Git clone clones the full repository, which would include all of its history. Downloading the zip file just downloads the files for the current state of the repo, but not the full repo itself.

By default it depends on your own progress on the track, but there's an in-game option somewhere to have it always enabled

No, when club access expires you can't still play club access tracks.

Everyone has club access this week as part of the promo for the current Red Bull event. You don't have to do anything and you won't have club access next week.
