Programming questions for beginners
  • Agree on stack overflow. And part of learning how to program is trying to structure logic into thoughtful questions.

    With R specifically I’d recommend looking into the tidyverse library for R. Or at least understand the libraries your work environment will be specifying to make sure you’re on the same page.

  • How would I start as a database consultant for a niche software?
  • As others have mentioned - I would second. A good website. Let them come to you. Give your solutions to common problems. Create a github. Provide repeatable examples on your GitHub and encourage contact for custom solutions.

    This won’t be a multi million dollar business. At best you’ll give yourself some work to get your name out. Companies don’t talk to each other - but maybe your niche is different. This is really the only path I can see without attaching yourself to a larger entity.

  • Car free vacation in Mexico?
  • Don’t do it. Please don’t. As someone married into a family of Mexicans who are very open about the state of Mexico please don’t. If my fluent wife who is familiar with the area would not feel safe then I stress to not do it.

    It’s a shame. Beautiful country. Wonderful people. But you are very much at the whim of others and please do not.

  • Sony Reveals Tons of New Details About the PS5's Adaptive Controller
  • Surely it will be. Even if there’s not official drivers - which I’m guessing will happen soon - the community will probably get it going quickly. It’s got to have a close enough interface to a standard ps controller I wouldn’t be shocked if it works out of the box.

  • Are there any SW-themed bars anywhere?
  • They had Star Wars rides before they bought Lucasfilm.

    The company was highly collaborative with Disney. Captain EO. Star tours. Star Wars seasons at Hollywood studios in the late 90s. Indiana jones stunt show. Etc

  • BIFL Community Discussion
  • Love all the ideas. Was an avid subscriber on the platform I won’t name - and support them here.

    One opinion though - and not a ride or die opinion - just a thought. What if you made tags to categorize certain options. #vintage for things that are old and outdated but may still be obtained.

    So still allow it - just make sure it can be quantified and understood by readers/posters.

    I’m not a fan of certain days - that just discourages participation - but tagging is a great option to allow posts at any time but allow others to filter.

    Couple of tag ideas

    • vintage for older items
    • promotion for self promotion
    • diy for posts that encourage instructional material

    This way you don’t push off posters and allow a gentle path to posting and categorizing that will help others later on to filter and search. If I ever went to a sub-thing and saw a rule to not post until x day - I just ignored it and moved on to other communities.

  • $70 Mortal Kombat 1 Switch version called "robbery" as graphical comparisons flood the internet
  • Others have already replied with this info but I’m just spelling it out for anyone who is not familiar like me:

    They fucking named the brand new game mk1. Is it a remaster? No. It’s not a remaster. Is it a recreation of mk1? No. It’s an alternate timeline game given the worst name in the history of naming things. It’s genuinely a brand new game.

  • Changeling ep 4 - spoiler discussion
  • So I’m convinced there is something up with William. Or at least it’s a misdirect.

    I’m still happy it’s just not outright fantasy. No idea on the source material and how closely this follows. I would have expected more forward momentum in the first four episodes - but still great atmosphere and direction so far.

    Changeling ep 4 - spoiler discussion

    Thoughts so far? Spoilers below

    “I cannot tell a lie” sounds something like a magical creature would say. I’m not even done with the episode and major suspicion from him.

    'Hellboy: The Crooked Man' Wraps Filming
  • Wth. Where did this come from? And it’s live action? Will keep an open mind - but the director doesn’t seem to have a good history.

    Theres any number of reasons why the previous movies had less than great outings. We’ll see.

  • Top or bottom?
  • All other toppers in this comment thread. I see you. I see you for what you are. Weak. Topping has killed so many brain cells that I envy you. You probably let all that fake news dictate how you consider ostrich scarves. Do not buy into the hype brothers and sisters. Resist!
