Get back to me once you've done that and we can talk some more. AMA along the way.

Gonna knock out an FtN article before bed 😃

Hmmm. "Learn Python the Hard Way" used to be free

I've *heard* that if you go to qwant.com and search for "learn python the hard way pdf" you'll find that free version still floating around out there.

Could I pick these up at a library?

possibly. but there are free PDFs as well

you can try this too ?: https://www.codecademy.com/

Anyone @here that familiar with Java?

@here anybody here good with video editing, specifically adobe premier pro? I am editing some go pro footage the quality is coming out less than desireable. I think i have all the settings right. • Format: H264
• Preset: HD 720 p 29.97 or 1080 for super high
• Width 1280
• Progressive square pixel
• Profile: high
• Level 5.2

@Brandon Ironside- ND sorry man i use sony vegas pro

i find youtube to actually be a really good resource on video editing techniques if you phrase your query directly

come to think of it - i am wondering what quality the raw go-pro footage is 720 at 60fps or 1080 at 30 fps, right?

Yea its a hero 3 so 1080p or 720p. When I play the raw footage it is really good quality then after editing and rendering i loose alot of quality but im exporting in 720p so i dont know why its doing that.

@Lukas - NC I'm fluent in C#, which has a lot in common with Java. If you're trying to figure out what's wrong with a particular bit of code, I might be able to help.

@Brandon Ironside- ND I haven't used Premiere in years, but I do work quite a bit in After Effects these days. Losing a lot of quality is interesting, something is happening there beyond just you saying "output dimensions = input dimensions" some interpolation or re-compression is happening. How "bad" does it look? post a before and after pic of a couple of the frames...

how do i rebase to a past commit? I keep trying to rebase -i t <past ssh> but it says there is a sytax error

i removed the last commit but it unstaged it how do delete the past stages to clean up my terminal?

nvm got it

hard reset force push got it done

@Brandon Ironside- ND what bitrate are you exporting the video at?

Resolution is one thing but bitrate would be the quality as opposed to the resolution.

```var words =(hello, hi, howdy)

function findLongWords(arr, num){
const result= arr.filter(arr => arr.length > num);
return result;
}

findLongWords (words, 4)```

I don't know what i'm doing incorrectly

@sigruna14

@Bobby - Pa Use [] instead of () around the word list. They're insulted you're comparing them to Jews and so they don't wanna cooperate. Also in the future please post your exact error message.

```
var words = ["hello", "hi", "howdy"];

function findLongWords(arr, num){
var result = []
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
// console.log(arr[i]);
if (arr[i].length > num) {
console.log(arr[i]);
result += [arr[i] + ", "];
}
return result;
}

findLongWords (words, 4);
```
just got it, I'm ashamed of my behavior towards the code, I hope it can forgive me one day, and will do, thanks man i appreciate it.

@sigruna14

Haha cool. Oh and good catch, need quotes around the words, too.

Anyone here use dirpy to download music from youtube? @here

I've just used those free websites.

which ones are those?

i am having trouble downloading complete songs on dirpy.. it'll download the first 30-60 secs of a song but thats it

it used to download the entire song perfectly fine

I just google youtube downloader.

bunch of free ones

Sounds like it was a demo copy that expired. I can't download anything anymore because of some problem with routing ports. Happened out of nowhere. Torrents don't work and neither does soulseek. Basically went from getting anything I wanted in great quality to being a pleb.

Ytdownload has a pretty good music snatcher

Wait actually that might not be the name of it

It's youtube-dl

i try searching for a Mega download, and normally can find what i need
