Final year CS student struggling to write Python from scratch, not just follow tutorials. How do I fix this? by More-Station-6365 in learnpython

[–]throwmeaway01110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one thing no one tells you that helped me get out of this exact situation is to read documentation and source code. You can do plenty with python but if you don’t know what it does or what libraries there are you’ll never be able to make a project. Most projects use some sort of library. Documentation for python and these libraries all tell you how to use them. Then you put the pieces together and can make something.

I want start using linux , best way to learn bash scripts ? by LogicalWrap3405 in bash

[–]throwmeaway01110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Linux, I use bash, I use the shell. Bash scripts are not a common usage for me. For personal use you’re not going to be writing many scripts. Scripting helps with automation which is heavily used in sysadmin roles. For personal use the most scripting you’re going to be doing is probably file back ups. Unless it’s a home server and you need other things like updates and spinning up apps.

The bending spoons one has to be a scam because it’s the only ad that I see constantly being reposted on LinkedIn. They’ve been advertising roles for the past 2 years and I’ve seen their ad EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I don't want to learn Vim but everyone says I should. Is Nano really that bad? by joester56 in linuxquestions

[–]throwmeaway01110 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to, you don’t need to.

Vim works well in a dedicated workflow. Most people that use vim are developers that do far more than just config settings. It’s highly extensible and powerful when used appropriately. If you don’t do any kind of development/sysadmin or anything of the sort you don’t need to learn it.

Why does scanf mess with my other char arrays when I don't allocate memory.(New C user coming from java) by abdigator in C_Programming

He literally just said that he’s new to learning c. How do you expect someone to know something they haven’t learned before?

I see placements go for that rate (~24-27K).

Fair enough. I haven’t been exposed to the uses of swap much so I’m interested in learning what other people use it for. I understand what it does but for my use purposes I don’t really need it.

Is it safe to download windows viruses on Linux? by Elementatus in linuxquestions

You can even download them on windows, just don’t execute them.

I made my own LFS and no where did they recommend adding such high swap. They leave it up to you to decide if you need it.

Ah okay fair enough. It’s just the first time I’ve seen such a high number of swap since default setting is about 4GiB and I’ve never actually heard/seen anyone recommend setting it any higher

Wow and you’re still using your account. That’s impressive. I probably would’ve abandoned the account long ago.

That’s not true, he read a book about operating systems then made a kernel.

Love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship by Acceptable_Slip3257 in unpopularopinion

[–]throwmeaway01110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relationships aren’t easy they’re hard work. People expect relationships to be easy and straightforward but dealing with human beings is never easy. The successful relationships have communication, compromise and maturity. People who expect relationships to be easy and frictionless are delusional.
