Ok, so i've been trying to learn python by myself but times after times i still find myself stuck at the same point where i started and i realize i was running in circles.
Apparently i'm dumber than i thought but the "just practice and you'll eventually learn" doesn't work with me, i've read here about the core philosophy of coding "if you're not solving amazing problems you will just test your patience and ability to memorize" which i somewhat agree with, but coming to down to earth problems is that i haven't found a book or a guide that meets my needs, for example, the teachers i have in uni are fucking tools and are useless at best, i still fail to comprehend how the compiler manages the instructions, how the hierarchy of the commands works, where i can find a comprehensive list of the python syntax and how to develop the mindset to translate a problem from human language in code (eg. transform all the colors in a given picture into a red scale, i have no fucking idea how to approach it in the first place, how should i organize the code and so on).
Please answer to this bottle in the sea, send help.

>how to develop the mindset to translate a problem from human language in code
Figure out in plain english what you need to do to solve your problem. e.g I need to iterate over every pixel and then find the rgb for each pixel. I need to then 0 out the green and blue values.
>I have no fucking idea how to approach it in the first place
Figure out these steps one step at a time then look up how to do each of them individually until you understand it.
>how should i organize the code and so on).
Get your program working first then worry about refactoring it.
It's all about reading and practice.

This here op, programming is just a fancy way of writing the instructions to do something.
i know, i'll give you a simple example so you can maybe understand how and where i'm stuck on#converts the 3 rgb values into grayscale and returns sum
def togray(r,g,b):
sum=(r+g+b)/3
return sum
#selects a file from the hard disk
new_file= pickAFile()
#creates an image new_pic and assigns it the file of new_file
new_pic= makePicture(new_file)
#show(new_pic)
dick= togray(100,120,110)
print dick
#for cycle that inserts in a silt every pixel of the selected image
pixel_list=[]
for pixel in getPixels(new_pic):
sum_pixel= togray(getRed(pixel),getGreen(pixel),getBlue(pixel))
pixel_list=pixel_list+[sum_pixel]
#i have to create an ampty canvas (makepicture) after that do the same so it writes from the list to the new image
#from now on: shit
makePicture(changed_pic)

i've made this with the help of an older student and you need to know that isn't actually python since we're requested to use a cancerous jython environment called jes with pre-built in functions, but the point is: i don't know the syntax to write my thoughts into code, and wherever i search i find lackluster and badly organized guides, i have even looked in the official python website but i feel like things are hanged in the air without seeing the start or the end of the central idea
Why the fuck does this happen? (Pic is from google because I "solved it", suddently after installing the SP1 from Windows update the motherfucker computer starts to work slow as shit, HDD activity, I check the task manager and this happens.
After tracking the process and service related it was Windows Update after all, I even disabled automatic updates and still it was consuming my cpu and ram like a whore (didn't reboot though), now I stopped the windows update service from the task manager and it was solved, but no idea what will happen when I reboot, I waited an hour before this to see if it would end, but no luck (before the svchost.exe itself, is the TrustedInstaller.exe that is eating the CPU).
This didn't happen to me since Windows XP, the difference is that back then it was the svchost for the audio service that caused the problem if I recall well.
>>54597086
This isn't really a tech support request, more of a curiosity of why it happens, because I know how to solve it.

Also, I'm retarded for using a shitty, deprecated OS, and I'm going to go on /g/ about it like a retard instead of upgrading to a stable, more reliable operating system like Windows 8.1 or 10. x3
It's likely indexing. Can get insane if it breaks enough during an update. Try disabling and see if it helps.

Why is Linux so inconsistent in quality in between releases for? Take Ubuntu for example, 16.04 is a pile of shit and yet just a couple releases ago with 15.04 everything just worked! Is there not a single distro out there that can just work in between releases?
Ubuntu is not Linux. It just happens to include it.

Is BenQ a good choice for a monitor?
They're fine for most stuff.
>>54594968
yes
>>54594968
I have a Benq. The first one crapped itself after a few months. I sent it back to the service and they replaced the source and the panel and now it works OK but there is a slightly darker spot on the right.
Seems like a reliable monitor, but make sure you check which ports it has and how good is the panel.

Neuroscientist here, thinking on starting a career as programmer.
I know the basics of C# and Python, and I started to develop a videogame in my spare time.
What language do you recommend/is most demanded? How do I get an entry job in the sector without holding a degree like CS?
I know that plenty of users here are already in, and i'm curious about reading your experiences and recommendations.
Thank you all.

Do something you like. Get good at it. Create a GitHub account and contribute. Apply for a relevant job with it.

Get a research officer position in a uni research lab working on bioinformatics. Molecular biologists generate terabytes of data that need proper pipelines and processing. The programs to analyse DNA sequences are already well developed but linking the wet lab to the computer is still lacking. Good luck. Microbiologist here.

I want to start a business in america and Id basically set up networks and buy computers and other computer stuff. I'd target small companies that are willing to pay a lot of money
Is it worth it?
>>54594075
They call that a Managed Service Provider.
Don't be tricked. There is a lot of money to be had, but it's not fun or easy.
And it requires more than just "being good with computers & networks"

How much does having wifi networks close together cause interference and slow down your wifi? If a house was hypothetically designed so the exterior walls acted like a Faraday cage to block your neighbors wifi so the only wifi in your house was from your own router, would you see significant improvements in network speed? I know that's a retarded idea because you'd also be blocking cell phone signals indoors, I'm just asking a hypothetical.
I'm curious because long story short, we just changed our internet package and for a short while we had the modem from the ISP with wifi built in hooked up in one room because that modem also was for the phone (>inb4 some comment about having a landline in 2016, it's for working from home), and another more capable modem and separate router hooked up in another room. The wifi on the more capable router became slightly better after turning off the wifi on the shitty modem/router the ISP provided. IDK if something else was causing the slowdown and it's just a coincidence or if having two wifi networks so close together really does cause congestion that slows them down.
>>54594008
>I know that's a retarded idea because you'd also be blocking cell phone signals indoors
Just use an extender and run it into the cage.
>>54594024
That would be worthwhile for some people, but I don't think home builders would start building houses to act like Faraday cages because most people would complain about the lack of reception indoors. Maybe there's some material that blocks the frequencies used for wifi but not for cell phones/other important radio frequencies?
>>54594052
>Maybe there's some material that blocks the frequencies used for wifi but not for cell phones/other important radio frequencies?
Not fucking likely.
