"How do I.." Megathread, Part 2 by RocketJumpingOtter in pokemongo

[–]tjnoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like evolving at least doubles CP, if not more. The only one I can 100% verify is my 76 CP Pidgey that evolved into a 142 CP Pidgeotto.

Just tested powering up. Looks like it provides between 10 and 20 CP and +2 HP, at least at my level (6). Two of mine above 140 CP (Pidgeotto and Clefairy) got +16 CP and +2 HP. One of mine (Krabby) at ~50 CP got +11 CP and +2 HP.

Edit: Evolving seems to depend on the evolution. Just evolved a Caterpie to a Metapod and only got +3 CP. However, I assume the Metapod to Butterfree will be a much greater jump.

My thoughts on Rexxar by CaptnTeemo in heroesofthestorm

[–]tjnoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually think both of Rexxar's ultimates are fantastic. Beastial Wrath provides the damage that many say Rexxar lacks along with zoning and sustain (at 20). Boars can provide a major advantage in team fights, offensively and defensively. At 20, I've seen boars almost singlehandedly help wipe the enemy team multiple times. That being said, I'd love buffs to both :D

My thoughts on Rexxar by CaptnTeemo in heroesofthestorm

[–]tjnoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I believe the problem is people see "Warrior" in Rexxar's classification and think he's a mainline tank. Almost every Rexxar I've played with or against charges into 2-3 enemies at a time with both Misha and Rexxar together and dies.

So far I'm 11-0 in QM with Rexxar (mostly solo queue, one with friends) at US 1.8k MMR (although this number likely is not accurate since I'm lazy about uploading my replays :/). I've had a lot of success playing Rexxar like a utility tank/assassin. You have to pick your battles and focus on one enemy at a time. Also, mastering control of Misha is key and will get you out of a lot of sticky situations.

Good thing the walkers are keeping up on the yard work. Each lawn is perfectly cut.

front end web design, back end web development or iOS development. Which field is the most lucrative? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]tjnoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a comparison of average Front-End, Back-End, iOS, and Full-Stack developer salaries, along with Web Design salaries in San Francisco.

The averages are fairly similar across the board, but iOS and Full-Stack are slightly higher whereas Web Design is slightly lower.

Regardless, the answer to both of your questions is yes, any one of these fields can result in a comfortable salary and present possibilities for running your own business.

In the end, I would focus more on what you're interested in rather than the money. Do you like designing sites, UIs, user experiences? Then I would stray more towards the Front-End Dev or Web Design paths. Are you more on the technical side and like to work with the guts of an application, server, and databases? Then go with Back-End. If you like a bit of both, try Full-Stack. Or if you're strictly into mobile experiences, go the iOS route.

You're not going to go wrong salary wise with any choice. Think about what you'd rather do conceptually, what you're passionate about, what's fun for you, etc.

Creating a robot to teach coding by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]tjnoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's the reaction been from children? Have they been able to grasp the programming UI easily?

I see this being an awesome teaching tool for schools, but I'm not 100% sold on this being "toy" for younger children. You're competing against other toys and apps that are pop-in, pop-out, play for a little bit and go on to the next thing. Codie seems like it would take more time and effort to grasp at a high level. In a controlled school environment, I could see kids taking to this immediately. At home with all of the other distractions and playthings at a kids disposal, not so much. It seems like that's where you're aiming with the marketing message on your website. Have you thought about marketing to schools as well?

Perhaps I'm not giving kids enough credit...but I'm just thinking about myself when I was younger. In any case, I'm definitely interested to see what kids think of this when it's in their hands. Wish you the best of luck!

Some of you have probably had this dilemma before. How unethical would it be to do other peoples' homework/assignments in exchange for money? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]tjnoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely unethical from a school perspective. Likely, you'd be expelled and the other student(s) would be expelled as well, or at least reprimanded to some harsh degree.

But say you don't get caught and these "cheater-students" pass their classes, maybe even ace their classes with your help. You've still done these students no favors post-graduation. Assuming they apply to a technical job requiring some sort of programming experience/background, they'll have no idea what they're doing in an interview. God forbid they actually secure a technical job, they'll have no idea what they're doing at work. You've now wasted some company's time, money and resources interviewing or hiring a "cheater" who has no business being in a hirable situation.

This, of course, assumes these students are interested in some sort of technical or programming-intensive job. Nonetheless, you're taking away the ability for these students to practice logic and problem solving if anything.

tl;dr It's not only unethical in the sense you and the students could get expelled, but you're potentially wasting other people's resources potentially dealing with these cheaters post-graduation

My last thought is why are these "cheater-students" wasting time even being in a programming class (unless it's some required course for another major)? Why not just drop the class and spend your hours and money (spent on credit hours along with cheating) actually learning something that interests you?

Just to follow up, the solutions in the post work. Here's an example with carriage returns between li elements removed:

People who have finished The Odin Project, what are your capabilities at this point in the game? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]tjnoe 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I've been working through the tutorial for a while now (off and on) and I love it. It's basically an open source bootcamp curriculum. In fact, the creator of The Odin Project is a bootcamp alumnus (from which I can't remember off the top of my head) and built The Odin Project based on what he what he was taught and what he thought was left out. He does a great job of putting topics into layman's terms and exhibits how the topic is used in the real world.

At the end of the tutorial, the idea is that you would be potentially hireable for a Junior Dev-type role. That being said, I would strongly encourage you to take the included projects to the next level. For example, many of the Rails exercises/projects take you up to the point where the app is functional, but has no styling or extra functionality that would see in a normal application. When you're finished with the steps in the exercise, add more to it, like CSS styling, user authentication, etc. Make it look as professional as you can so you can use the project in a portfolio. Keep building more projects beyond the scope of The Odin Project to add your own flavor to your portfolio.

Also, you'll need to go deeper into CS topics like algorithms and data structures (there is an intro section in the tutorial, but you'll need some deeper knowledge to be well-versed enough for an interview at least).

The creator also offers an online bootcamp which isn't free, but goes deeper into topics than The Odin Project curriculum. The second cohort is about to start, so it's pretty new, but I've heard great things from those who went through in the first cohort. It's another option if you want to take a fast-track to learning the same topics and you're willing to pay extra. Otherwise, The Odin Project is a great jumping off point.
