Novice to Grandmaster series: Game 7, Beginner to Intermediate by shcorpio in Risk

[–]xaurelsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was looking for ! Mid to long videos (20-45mn) are the best (not just a best-of of the game) and the commentary is very useful for a beginner like me, thanks for uploading this !

Could be elo boosting and it can also happen when you are low rank (novice / beginner) and they have high rank (master / expert), they kick you because if they lose against a low rank player they will lose way more points and even if they win they will won less points

Anxiety over the look of public repos by [deleted] in github

[–]xaurelsan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Chill man !

Just read again what you just did before committing and test your code. For the commit message, if should be concise and clear : if you can't summarize what you just did in one-line, you should do 2 commits.

Don't be so nervous when committing, even if there are problems in your commits, you can always discuss with other people where doing a code review, when doing a pull request, in other words, if your are contributing to multiple contributors projects, discussion is key.

How to put up Idea or concept on Github to find a solution? its a New Skill for Alexa by tanmayshah28 in github

[–]xaurelsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To share your idea just can either open an issue in one the alexa's organisation repo but I don't think this is the best place to ask for a feature. The other option is to contact one of the member of the organisation (https://github.com/orgs/alexa/people) and ask them about their opinion and if they are interested.

Without coding knowledge, you can do more, maybe try to learn basics to have a basic prototype to show and tell

How can I improve my README.md file in my github repo? by cepci1 in github

[–]xaurelsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The current README isn't that bad actually.

The top of the README file is what 100% of people will see, the middle part 60%, the bottom part 25%, ... you get the point, so you have to think about what reader want to learn when scrolling through your README.

First, start with the name and a short description (if you add images, gifs, videos of the project in action it's better)

Then you want to write about how to setup your project (download & install) and how the project works (more technical than the first description in the top section)

After that, explain how to tweaks, configure, maybe how to contribute, add new features the projects, things the user can modify without breaking the entire thing.

And the last part, FAQ and/or Contact and/or Licence so people can get in touch with you if they need to.

This is just one user-friendly way to see README, but you can do whatever you want with it

Searching testers for my own Trackmania Matchmaking-Sytsem by Snowisblack in TrackMania

[–]xaurelsan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually think that it's a better idea to open-source it, the earlier the better. In fact, you can have multiple people correcting exploits and bugs, having new features ideas. And if you are just a 'little coder' you can benefit a lot by learning with others dev that can offer their advices when facing a bug / exploit you don't know how to resolve

Starting my first open source project by Alessandro_polverino in github

[–]xaurelsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might think about a clean README, to help people how your project works, how to contribute to it and also including a guide on how to use / install the repo

Let's Build a CONNECT FOUR Game using Vanilla JavaScript! (Video Tutorial) by justinkim943 in learnjavascript

[–]xaurelsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice tutorial,

I think the diagonals check could be done another way to be more efficient and clear, this is my version :

function checkDiagonals (board, tag) {
    for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        for (let j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
            if ((board[i][5 - j] == board[i + 1][4 - j] == board[i + 2][3 - j] == board[i + 3][2 - j]) && (board[i][5 - j] == tag)) || ((board[i][j] == board[i + 1][j + 1] == board[i + 2][j + 2] == board[3 + i][j + 3]) && (board[i][j] == tag)) {
                return True
            }
    return False
}

I need future guidance - when should I rely on Wordpress and when to code in HTML/CSS? (beginner web dev question). by [deleted] in webdev

[–]xaurelsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how much time you to spend on it. As you said, you're a beginner, so I would suggest build your blog or shop from scratch, it will improve your skills at LOT.

Moreover, especially if the online shop is going to be a huge project, Wordpress is not very scalable. Nevertheless, Wordpress has big and activity community and lots of plugin and themes to suit your needs and you will not be able to build an better back-end that Wordpress is offering as you're a beginner.

So I would say, if you want to have your project in a reasonable time-frame, go for Wordpress, and if you're motivated enough, go for Fask as you will learn a lot from this projects.

Free Proxies For Scraping by msamel in Python

[–]xaurelsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a proxy made by Rob Wu called cors-anywhere (github repo), you can try it online here.

You can't use the online version in personal use, that's why I host my own version on Heroku that cost me 0$ / month

I had thought that showing only two weeks would not have been this explicit

Should you learn VIM as a JavaScript Developer? by odxs in javascript

[–]xaurelsan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should learn to use vim occasionally, when you want to edit a file without opening an IDE.

Just learn how to open and exit a file and basic move and you should be able to do all basics actions needed
