Also, if you're looking for motivation, I totally get that. I normally don't do personal projects, because it feels like work, and I like to keep that separate from free time. But I found it's easier to find motivation when it's something you enjoy. The project I've worked most on is a magic item shop generator for the D&D games I run since I always found coming up with prices and random items to be difficult. I haven't turned it into a full web app yet, it's just a script to print out a table with the PrettyTables python library, but I worked on that in the airport on my last vacation because I was enjoying it!

I know Python specifically has a lot of good documentation online, but it's pretty technical language. I would really recommend coding along with a tutorial online

Sorry I can't actually answer your question, but in my experience, it's hard to learn actual programming in a classroom type setting. I got a 4 year degree from a state school in computer science, and I've been working as a software engineer since may of 2020 (and a student contractor for 2 years before that), and I think 90% of my experience was obtained on the job.

That being said, I do think finding a tutorial online for the type of project you want to learn is a great starting point, provided you have the basic knowledge of programming concepts. If you don't, I think w3schools is a great place to grab those. Private tutors or online classrooms are going to be expensive and the quality might not be guaranteed.

What I think you really need / want is guided, hands-on learning. Most languages and frameworks are free to download and use, and there's lots and lots of tutorials out there. A great basic one for full stack engineering is a making a To-Do List (django python back end, and either react or angular front end is a decently easy framework). It'll teach you basic front-end, back-end, and database concepts, and then you can play around with it whoever you want. I'd recommend uploading it to your personal github repo eith a README file talking about how to run it locally, so you can send it to possible employers. That's a big thing that a lot of companies ask for in the interview process.

I'm definitely not below average in that department, and I'm fine with it. It is a mostly spandex material, so it'll stretch for days. The pouch doesn't have any empty space for sure, but I'm never feeling compressed down there. And if you get the long boxer briefs, then you can pull the legs up a bit to get extra room for the jewels if you need it

Personally I use meundies long boxer briefs. They run a little small. I'm a big guy, 40-44 waist, usually for shirts I wear a 2x, 1x if it runs big. I need to go 3x in meindies and even then they're a little tight, but not uncomfortably so.

They last a while, I've had a few pairs for a few years now. I'd recommend joining the membership (no fees, cancel anytime, postpone anytime) and get a pair. If you like them, get a new pair every month or two. Till you fill out your closet.

They're a little pricey at close to $15 - $20 a pair, but they're fun patterns and decent quality if you feel like splurging. But get ready for ads on every ither youtube video for the next year if you even go to their website

Honestly I haven't listened to anything past Donda. I love graduation and mbdtf, and Bound 2 and Moon still give me chills just for melodies. But I've still got Chance and Cudi so I'm good

$0 apparently. I used to love Kanye. I could mostly excuse his bullshit because he was just clowning on the black community, and as a member, I could ignore it. But when he went "defcon" on the Jewish community, I kinda had to take a step back. Not necessarily because of what he was saying, but seeing him on Alex Jones in that mask with the net and the yoohoo, I realized how actually insane he was. I haven't actively listened to him in like 2 years, which sucks because say what you want about his mental state, the dude could make some good music.

The name is actually on the back, but yeah, probably a good choice you don't have to look at it constantly

I wonder if they made more money from the $80 controller than the $40 game because of how cool the controller looked (in my opinion). I bought the controller knowing full well I had no intention of buying the game

I am Genuinely curious, but I thought they were all cartilage. Is thay what this is? I assumed it didn't look like that, but I don't know what I expected

[–] Kevo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This reminds me a lot of Inside and Limbo, but even creepier. I loved those games so I might have to go check out little nightmares!

I know it technically is a movie about superheroes, but I feel like Deadpool doesn't qualify as a standard "superhero movie"
