i used python or more specifically arcpy for a task at an old job once, python seemed fine, im sure every language is fine, i dont hate python it just seems like whenever i google and ultimately end up on stackexchange trying to find an r package to do some poo poo i end up finding it but if i were a programmer as opposed to an engineer i get that the choice of language could be much more important and thats cool. lord knows most engineers just do poo poo in vba+excel and i get that that's not optimal

although no ps4 means no bloodborne, until dawn or uncharted, which i couldn't abide. and a bunch of other stuff down the pipe that seems insanely good

Mayor Dave posted:actually yeah, this summer i'm learning python to complement r since so many employers want both the hardest thing with learning a language is picking a project and having the energy to work through it after work. ive been trying to pick up C in my downtime {job is python, scala, and a bit of JS} but im usually too tired to do anything but watch jackass clips. it doesn't help that my experience is limited to building web apps and spark stuff and i don't know what project to build in C.what do you think you'll do for a project?

Bloodborne looks cool, but DS 1-3 exist. I only buy a couple of new releases a year and get everything else on Steam. Steam owns.

Hopefully I can emulate it a decade or two from now on gaming PC then. Because the world where my husband lets me buy a non-Nintendo console isn't this one.

oystertoadfish posted:knee fee-feess This is the original thing that I was on about, with the idea of making a thread in You Look Like poo poo. I subscribed to the Tim Ferriss podcast after listening to his interview on a Freakonomics podcast (would highly recommend both, along with Raidolab). The Ferriss podcast centers on efficiently maximizing the use of your time for self improvement, along with general bullshit like him and other intelligent guys he knows getting drunk, and talking about interesting things. He wrote a bunch of books called the "4 hour (body, workweek, ect...)". One of the older ones was an interview with coach Christopher Sommer, and it goes in depth into problems of mobility and the relation to connective tissue. I remember back when I was taking Oom Yung Doe, the original exercises were a bunch of Kata that used no weight and felt silly, but now looking back I see that thy were focused on training connective tissue. Coach Sommer explains how this works in a way that makes me really excited about doing what one of Tim's friend called "loving stupid Hanoi Jane exercises". Connective tissue is not fed by blood the same way that all other tissue in the body is, hence its whiteness, so it takes a lot longer to build up. 200 days vs. 90 for muscle is what I remember. The most basic exercise in the podcast mentioned was to sit in a simple L shape, and to use your quadriceps to lift your heels of the ground (the Hanoi Jane bullshit). I did it for a while and my knees felt way better. Here's a couple links: http://fourhourworkweek.com/podcast/ https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/the-benefits-of-hamstring-flexibility-and-pike-compression/ Solvent has issued a correction as of 14:17 on Jun 10, 2016 |

You guys want a programming language?  https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ To write smart contracts there are a few different languages: Solidity, which is like JavaScript and has .sol as a file extension, Serpent, Python-like with extension .se, and a 3rd, LLL, based on Lisp. Javascript-like thing for smart contracts. Unlike python and not knowing what to do, there are barely resources on this (but enough for me to get by somehow??? Maybe because people make the smart contracts open source so I can just cannibalize similar functions)

Cephalocidal posted:ehhhhhh oh yeah i know i've seen some gameplay vids (and also some of demon souls and dark souls 1 and 2). BB is still way more offense-focused and all, i just think the speed of the game, item storage, etc of 3 is similar enough to BB to make playing it a lil more comfortable than demon souls/1/2 for me.

We've been using a platform called databricks to run it - they have a free community edition you can learn spark with. I've been writing all my ETL jobs in scala spark to ger a better grasp of scala but you can use R or python too, with a couple restrictions due to the spark people's implementation of python on the jvm.Right now spark's the hot analytics platform... It's a real confusing mess but it's great for analyzing massive amounts of data. WINNINGHARD has issued a correction as of 03:20 on Jun 11, 2016 |
