Dude, you are a BADASS because you’re a highschooler who codes.

Back when Earth had cooled and the dinosaurs were starting to roam, I had no idea about programming. I didn’t discover it until I got to college. It was a different time then.

I’m envious that kids these days have technology so freely available to them.

And what other people think doesn’t mean shit unless they’re giving you money. That’s one of the nice things you learn when you become an adult.

You’re doing okay, trust me. Do you.

@rithvikp Yes. I’m aware.

As of 3.6/3.7, dictionaries DO have an order. It’s a dictionary of field information. This information is then split out into lists that need to be looped. The order of all of this matters.

@-vim- Yeah. When you put it that way, it is a little messed up.

@davenall Ha! Thanks, man.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Multiplication and division are done in order left to right.

Then addition and subtraction are done in order left to right.

The answer is 9.

One thing you can say about math is it’s the most consistent thing on the planet. If you get a different answer, you’re doing it wrong.

@fsck-mount Yeah, I don’t doubt it. No idea what that is, though. Got VS Code pointed at Anaconda. Latest version of Python and Pandas. Just updated a couple of weeks ago.

Problem isn’t there with Geany, Notepad++, etc.

I need to devote time to digging around on the Internet and seeing if I can figure this out.

And I can’t imagine how slow 2GB would be on this thing. 😄

(If you think it’s annoying on a PC, try it on a cellphone. 😄)

Kids these days just don’t know what they missed. 😉

I thought the answer to everything was 42.

@undervalued0 By the way, looks like Qt for Python is the same thing as PySide. I could be wrong, but it didn’t look to me like there was much difference between it and PyQt5. I do also read the PySide docs sometimes. Maybe I should read them more.

Wikipedia? Got it. Will do. Thanks a lot for that.

@undervalued0 I dunno. What’s the difference between PyQt and Qt for Python? Never heard of that.

I know I’m stuck with both Python and Qt. Have a lot of hours and lines of code. I went with PyQt in the first place because I knew I could hook up data to grids with data models. That’s a key feature of my application. Since then I’ve had to employ QScintilla for the wizard I’m working on now because I needed its clickable text features.

I’m invested.

@undervalued0 I definitely have. I’ve been all over the Qt5 docs. I’ve just struggled with translating them into Python.

I KNOW Euro dates make more sense. I get it. My brain just can’t. 😉

Nah. Epic fail. 😄

That sucks. I remember one senior dev I was stuck with when I was a junior. I’d ask him a question about this big company-wide system I know jack about, and he’d just keep whining “look at the coooooode”. Which of the thousands of lines would you like me to look at? I should have asked him that.

Maybe you should print the before and after code and ask this guy to circle the differences.

Companies I’ve worked for love to crow about seniors mentoring juniors, but I haven’t really seen it actually happen. I always want to, though.

@Stuxnet Aw yeah. The best part is stuffing your face. 😁

@Stuxnet We’re on one of my favorite topics. Love to cook and bake. 😉

If you can get ground pork you can mix it up with some BBQ sauce and make burgers. Just cook them in a skillet. Seriously delicious.

Spaghetti

Boil a package of pasta according to directions.
Brown 1lb ground beef in huge skillet.
Dump pasta and a jar of spaghetti sauce into skillet and mix with ground beef.

Voila. (Yes, I am a skilled chef. 😁)

@PythonTryHard Thanks for the spots to check out.

See, I do all of that. I spend sometimes days researching before I finally break down and post. The stuff I work with is just not well documented if it’s documented at all. I always mentioned the research I’ve done and which resources I’ve consulted. I try to outline my problems clearly and ask for the specific information I need to know. Maybe there aren’t just a bunch of assholes on there, but it seems like with the exception of one dude, assholes are all I’ve found.

I try everything I possibly can to avoid posting on SO. And I’m not alone in that. There are many seasoned SO posters out there who have put out blog posts, etc about their negative experiences and how flawed and toxic the community is. SO itself recently launched a campaign to try to get its community to stop being such assholes. https://stackoverflow.blog/2018/04/...

Yep. They got issues.

@PythonTryHard It was a joke. Python doesn’t use arrays. It uses lists. Which the rest of the programming world calls arrays. 😉

@PythonTryHard List 🙂

I now badly want to put a slideshow of cute kittens on my own installer. 😁

@AndSoWeCode Oh fucking christ, really??? Don’t you have someone else’s rants to go post on?

I miss Perl. 🙁

@stop I kinda agree. 😕 They could be better. What’s really frustrating is the PyQt docs. Either it’s a link to Qt docs, where all the code is C++, or it’s minimal documentation where the examples are in C++ because they basically copied the Qt docs. But, yeah, all of that needs some serious updating. I miss using MSDN / Microsoft docs. Even if the actual documentation language got a bit abstract, everything has a code sample to illustrate. Or, at least, it used to back in the olden days (~2014). 😉

@AndSoWeCode I ask questions about complex shit that’s not easily found in Google search. It doesn’t matter how closely it follows their rules. Someone has to downvote. Probably someone who had no idea what I’m even talking about. Dude.

It’s a gaggle of assholes. Everyone knows it. If you think it’s all great, maybe you should be the one looking in a mirror.

@AndSoWeCode Thanks for assuming I’m a jackass who can’t ask a question properly.
