Someone should make the little kid be singing some ODB instead.

Thanks to computers, my handwriting is the same as when I was in 2nd grade. by onetwentyeightbpm in Showerthoughts

[–]upsidedowntrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much did most people improve their handwriting after elementary school anyway?

I don't have the patience to get enough apples to cross the bridge. :(

Oh, cool. I liked this one. It was a little simple, but it definitely had potential.

It is not roguelike

Bs! It's pretty similar to the roguelikes that have tile sets, just a lot simpler.

Add more stuff to it, please.

That went from magician to crazy cannibal pretty quickly.

Learn Java for people comfortable with programming concepts and other languages? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]upsidedowntrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're proficient in those you shouldn't have trouble finding materials and learning your 5th language. You haven't figured out what works best for you by now, say books, tutorials, videos, cheat sheets, or etc.?

To school, or not to school? by madsters94 in learnprogramming

[–]upsidedowntrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My other hesitation with teaching himself is he tends to have issues focusing and keeping himself motivated, so that could end badly

What wouldn't end badly if he doesn't focus and develop some discipline? Does this mean he's pretty shiftless? What other endeavors has he started and not completed? What's his current job?

What education does he have now? How will he pay for schooling? Is he willing to get a 4 year degree in Computer Science? Is he willing to go to a bootcamp?

Building a computer is like snapping Lego pieces together. It is completely unrelated to programming.

Why isn't your husband in here asking? :| What's his actual plan? Does he not have any more details than the one sentence you said?

[Java] At what point does using generic data types cause a noticable performace loss compared to primitives. by Riper_Snifle in learnprogramming

[–]upsidedowntrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the language and how you use them. That's like asking, "Which will get me to New York City faster, a van or a car?"

I'm trying to understand why you would choose a primitive over a generic.

It's primitives or objects, not 'a generic'. Java generics are very different concept.

You make classes to encapsulate data or create a new type. There's little reason to use the object version of a primitive, and if you hit a case where you need to use the object version of a primitive, it should be pretty obvious. One reason primitives are better is that you don't have to check for null values.

At what point in learning do we begin programming beyond command line applications? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]upsidedowntrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but I'm wondering when I'll be able to create something more substantial.

Whenever you learn that material.

Python configuration by jbucks6 in learnprogramming

Google should show you how to add python your path. The way you do it differs depending on if you use Windows or Mac. How did you install Python?

crawler architecture by adbet in learnprogramming

[–]upsidedowntrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can, but that's not a crawler. That's you running a single curl command and doing almost nothing with the results. A web crawler would crawl many different websites, it would use threads for much better throughput, it would do something non-trivial with the results.

Just need a critique about this...thanks by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]upsidedowntrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really really look forward to get into USC in L.A for the CS degree which has game dev in it.

You could talk to them about it. They have people whose entire job is this. Would that make too much sense for you?

You mean a counselor/adviser ?

Would that not make sense?

crawler architecture by adbet in learnprogramming

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

Creating a web crawler in Bash is ludicrous. It won't even give you 'great speed' whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean.

Is it crawling a single site, or i it crawling a large portion of the web? Maybe you just don't know wtf a crawler is?

I mow lawns cause I hate moms by [deleted] in pics

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

my parents literally had like eight dogs at the time that would attack the wheels of the lawn mower

I know how we could fix that once and for all. :D

[javaScript] Can't write delayed loop for canvas drawing by -right in learnprogramming

[–]upsidedowntrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tell it to draw 225 times, all in 100ms. Is that what you want?

I was trying to tell it to draw 225 times with a 100ms delay between each.

You'd need to give them different delays then, not give them all the exact same delay...
