What to learn to get a job in the coding industry?

hyperwavedrift — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 11:29:48 +0800

I've worked in graphics design and digital art, but I want to switch lane and get into programming. Thing is I have 0 programming knowledge, I realize right now might not be a good time with AI and all that. But just humor me for a second and tell me what programming language for me to learn and get a job in current time. Let's say I have 3-4 months to learn. For context I am looking at the Programming Tutorial Thread, and I feel clueless. Am I meant to learn everything from top to bottom?

Thinking of buying 2021 Asus Tuf A1 (UPDATE)

hyperwavedrift — Fri, 19 May 2023 15:45:04 +0800

I asked the seller for HDD upgrade and he said only SSD upgrade slot is available. It's on sale right now under Rm4K but no HDD makes me kinda worried. Is SSD only storage reliable?

UPDATE: Okay so now I'm willing to spend a bit more. RM 4.5-5K. The reason is that I learned that the Asus A15 2022 has MUX unlock and better thermal than the 2021, but everywhere I can only find it at least 5600 k. However I also found the latest A15 2023 at RM4999 but it has RTX4050. Upon research I learned that it doesn't perform as good as RTX3060 but at the same time I'll get a better laptop build than the 2021 version. Thoughts?

Need an effective bugs/spiders repellent

hyperwavedrift — Sun, 07 Feb 2021 11:09:32 +0800

Last night a big brown spider the size of my palm entered my kitchen at night, scared the crap out of me, thankfully I have a cockroach spray nearby which killed it pretty fast. But I can't live with fear knowing these nasty pricks could ambush me at anytime in my own house. I've tried those so called bug repellants you can find at supermarkets, especially those "serai" odor things. They can't even get rid of mosquitoes. And there are 4 cats in my house so I also need something that's safe for pets. Anyone got any recommendation what should I use please?

Need help sorting out healthy eating on a budget

hyperwavedrift — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 13:49:12 +0800

So I'm about to start living alone, and I need help with my budget. My salary aren't that much, so I guess I will never be able to bulk up with the money I'm gonna have but I'd like to maintain my muscle mass as much as possible. Let's say I plan to spend rm500 on food per month, is that possible? I'm open to vegetarian food as long as there's protein.

Looking for a good ankle support/braces

hyperwavedrift — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 17:26:08 +0800

I have an ankle problem that I had since highschool, which is over 5 years now. I'm pretty sure I got them from trying to run too hard unprepared. Now I'm getting back to running and I can run/jog consistently for 30 minutes. But the downside is my ankle will be in pain. Not that the pain lasts too long or get to the point of too painful to walk normally. I just need something to give my ankle support so that I can run longer without the pain bothering me. Can someone recommend me a good one?

Help me manage my phone's storage space

hyperwavedrift — Sun, 10 Sep 2017 21:02:37 +0800

I'm using Asus Zenfone Max Z010D with internal 16gb. I've been letting this issue slide forever till today. Apparently my memory space is too full to the point I won't be getting any text or SMS anymore. So I decided to check into my phone's storage

As you can see, it says that I'm almost using all of my 10.48gb space but when I check inside my internal storage, the cummulative memory space used is not 10.26 gb.

So even if I delete everything I'll only free up less than 5gb of space. Is there a hidden data it's not showing? I can delete some of my photos and videos but I'd like to free up more space than that. Someone please help me how to do it.
