The Official " I Got a Question but It's Not Super Important" Thread
- Thread starter Deleted member 3345
- Start date
Hi friend,
I began pivoting my career to software engineering about a year ago having no prior knowledge. I just landed my first full time gig after working hard to get up to speed/build a sought-after skillset.
JavaScript is a safe bet for you to land a front end job. Angular is an ok idea, but I would say React is the way to go.
I am likely biased as I am a React Native engineer which basically means I use my knowledge of React to build iOS and Android apps.
Github is a form of version control and project management. It makes it easy for project management among multiple people because each person can work on a different part of the project without interfering with another person's code as long as they're working on different files. It also makes it easier to test thing out by creating what are called branches. You keep seeing this brought up because practically everyone uses it for a multitude of things.
Github also serves as a coding portfolio for a lot of people. Unless you pay for github's privacy subscription, repositories are public, meaning anyone can see your code. For recruiters it's how they can tell if you right good code. Or they may give you a coding challenge, want you to make a pull request of your version to their github repository and then they can download it and see how you did.
Basically, github is awesome.
Personally, I went to one of the top coding bootcamps in NYC. It set up a great foundation for me. If you have any interest in learning more about them, feel free to ask.
Hope this helps
I have no idea, but it's been making me sad. That used to be some of my favorite content, but I'll admit a fair amount of that had to do with the good good McElroy boys.
My brother is trying to sign up to Era. He's using a Century Link email which is a paid ISP. He's pressed the resend confirmation button twice and hasn't received any emails yet.
Is Century Link not recognized on here to sign up even though it's a paid email or does the registration process and email just take a while to come over?
Also it's not in his spam box neither.

PM cerium with your bro's email address and username, he'll help.
What gif source do people use, that doesn't show a UI or an ad, just the gif?
Tried using the approved ones.

Is there any reason why TVs have a zoom in option? Like why would anyone want to watch anything with part of the image cut off?
Even the Netflix app, at least on my ipad, has this option too.

Old content that has a low resolution might show up using only a small portion of the screen. Some people will rather stretch a bad quality image in order to get a larger picture.
I have a question that bugs me at work, for the computer savvy people.
What's the difference between a .bat and a .exe file? We have an Unreal project at work and we tend to use a bat file so we can load an exe file with extra launch options such as special resolutions and god mode etc.
Now, recently the non-devs have gotten the idea that maybe we should start the project directly from the exe instead of the bat file "to avoid introducing any bugs". That sounds odd to me since there seems to be no difference between the bat file and a shortcut file with launch options added in the properties, which is fine to do. Seems to me like our bat file is a glorified Windows shortcut.

What's the cheapest legit way to get a license or whatever for Windows 10? I've got Win10 running in Parallels on my Macbook but it's unregistered/un-activated. I'm still (sort of) a student but my school doesn't offer discounts on Windows.

couldn't find a tattoo thread (i'm guessing i'm just not looking hard enough!) and reddit seems the wrong place to ask therefor -
anyone have any idea if the hand pose on the left has a name at all? i'm trying to find more reference images of it for a design of my own but just can't figure out what it's called.

Hey Slixshot! Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I really appreciate all that information (and the confidence boost).
I was actually looking into some boot camps last month. Revature was one I spoke with I believe? I may have to follow up with them.
Also, thank you so much for explaining Github. That makes so much more sense now.
Thanks again, and congrats on the new job!
How was the American accent created in just 300 years from the British? That's like 4 people's life times.
I just started selling on ebay for the first time and someone bid on one of my items but has not paid. It has been 5 days since they won the auction. I have contacted the buyer twice but am not getting a response. My question is, if I leave negative feedback for this person, can they just retaliate and leave negative feedback for me even though I didn't do anything wrong? I want to build up a good seller rep, and I'm afraid a negative review right off the bat will hurt my chances.
You can't leave negative feedback so you are asking a null question.
Start the non-payment process and quit trying to communicate and set up your next auction to require instant payment if that's available in your country.
Of course, man. Happy to help out.
Regarding the bootcamps: I do recommend you do a ton of research before jumping into one. Because bootcamps are relatively new, employers either don't trust them, or only trust a select few. For instance, this course doesn't an appear to have any reviews which has me personally questioning its credibility.

It's an uphill battle without a college degree, but if you're willing to work hard, keep a positive attitude and make it happen, you can totally make the pivot!!!
The British accent didn't sound like it does today 400 years ago as well....it's just how languages evolve...
What's the best method to rip/encode DVDs for playback in Plex? (Using FireTV Plex app; can also do PS4 or Xbox One app.)
I've ripped some of my collection already with MakeMKV, but they're interlaced and Plex does a lousy job deinterlacing on the fly. I want something approaching quality of what these discs look like in my standalone DVD player. I'm assuming I should re-encode and deinterlace with Handbrake, but there's a million different guides and settings out there. I've got a Coffee Lake i7, so hardware shouldn't be a problem.

I have an old nespresso machine I hand't used in a while. My ocd didn't feel good about just washing it in the sink so I boiled some water to pour into the plastic water tank (picture). It felt like it was frozen because the plastic starting lightly cracking and popping. I must've let the boiling water sit in it for a minute before I tossed it out and started panicking about bpas and cancer
After some more cleaning and testing it, the hot water coming out of the machine doesn't smell or taste like plastic. The container didn't crack or warp either. tldr; am i going to die; should i throw away

Can pets be racist? Like...actually racist? Or are they just exhibiting behavior we perceive as racist?
I'm trying to setup a child account on my PlayStation for my daughter to use.
The first step after asking for her name and birthday is to verify with a fifty cent charge. It then asks me to input a credit card number. After doing so it errors out saying that payment already exists. No shit. I already have that payment info saved. Why doesn't it let me use the already existing credit card info on my account?

I don't know about racist, but they certainly can trigger off physical appearance. My sister had a dog that would freak out at men of a certain build with longer hair. He was a rescue dog that had been beaten, and we surmise his reaction was to men who reminded him of his abuser.
Gaming related question..
I wanted to bring up a clip to show a friend the other week, but I had no idea what the game is or how to search it. I remember having a good laugh at it.
Here's what I remember:
I think it's a ps3 or 360 game.. Seems to be Japanese developed. Has a cool looking but goofy anime styled protagonist. Probably similar to devil may cry in character design style. I think he's having a serious conversation with an attractive woman, maybe a client? Then I think it goes into his own mind, and he's doing a silly dance or scatting or something, as if he's horny and having a silly reaction to this woman.. I'm not sure. Then there's some kind of joke about fruit and the size of the woman's breasts, and maybe another character, a female character with smaller breasts admonishes him because she knows what he's thinking and he says something to the effect of this other girl's bust being closer to 'grapes' in size.
Does that ring any bells for anyone?

Could be Killer Is Dead? It's got some weird dating sections/mini-games.
Hulu used to be the place because they had the entire Toho catalog which is effectively the Japanese movie monopoly and every year I'd sign up for three free months, binge and peace out. But this time I tried and they appeared to be gone (I assume licensing). And as the other guy said, Filmstruck is toast but that ought to mean that license is up for negotiations soon?
Haha, that's the one. It was funnier in my mind. Great dance though.
What's the best/cheapest option for buying xylitol-based gum (no aspartame) in the US, whether online or brick & mortar?
I have no idea why this just popped into my head, but there is a scene in a relatively recent movie where two young adult guy characters are talking/arguing. One screwed something up and the other more aggressive one goes "YOU DUMB FUCK, YOU'RE A DUMB FUCK"
Any ideas? I really can't even place any other story or character elements.

The racism is in our own minds. My cat does get really scared of people with a certain look though, but I have no idea why it triggers him.
