The Ultimate Coding Experience

Categories: General, Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  0

Many programmers struggle with reading their code because they don’t have the right font. That’s right, just the shape of some letters could throw at you a super annoying bug that will take two hours to fix. Especially when it comes to the shapes of the letter “O” and the number “0”. They’re both round, and sometimes, it can be very difficult to tell them apart. That’s why you need the correct font that will make you instantly tell the difference between those two. Menlo Regular is an excellent font in this situation. It is very easy to tell the difference between the zero and the ‘O’ because there is a slash in the zero. All of the characters are extremely easy to read and the letters line up when you are doing some serious coding because it is a monospaced font. That means that each character takes up one space. When it comes to indentations and precision coding, monospaced fonts are the way to go. Other good choices include Consolas, Courier, Lucida Console, Monaco, and Inconsolata. Choose your favorite and you’ll be on your way to an exciting coding experience!...  Read more

GoPubby Update

Categories: News | Pubby Cash Received:  0

GoPubby.com just announced the release of 20 new unique badges which can be earned and displayed on your home page. While some are easier to earn than others, all of the tasks that Pubbies would take to earn those badges are possible. Let’s just briefly mention some of those badges. The easiest badge to earn is the Novice badge. All you need to do is post an article to earn this badge. There are many hard badges to earn, such as the A-Gang badge. To earn this one, you would have to be promoted to Moderator. Currently, these badges are just for show, but we might place a value on each badge so you would get a certain amount of Pubby Cash when you earn a new badge. We are also planning on adding a customer shop with items that can be purchased with your Pubby Cash. Possible items include lottery tickets and status upgrades at the moment. With the shop in place, you could actually put your well-earned Pubby Cash to good use! Stay tuned for further details regarding these changes....  Read more

What was the name again?

Categories: Tech, Education | Pubby Cash Received:  0

Programming is fun, but it isn't fun when you forget or confuse your variables. It’s annoying to have to remember so many similarly-named variables. “User”, “user”, “users”, all have the same spelling, but their values are different. But how do I know that? Usually, a capital letter at the start of a variable indicates that a variable is an object. Use plural nouns for lists, tuples, and dictionaries because they store multiple values. Singular nouns are used for a single value such as “5” or “Pubby”. Don’t be afraid to make your variable name long because most IDE’s have autofill. Name variables according to the type of data that it will store. For example, you would store “8” in the variable “number”, but you wouldn’t store “8” in “first_names”. Variables names must start with a letter or an underscore, and the remainder of your variable name may consist of letters, numbers, and underscores. Also, avoid using the lowercase letter "l", uppercase, "O" and uppercase ‘I’. Why? Because the "l "and the "I" look a lot like each other and number 1. And "O" looks a lot like "0". Knowing how to skillfully name and use your variables will seem like a life hack, or at least a programming hack! ...  Read more

The iPad Pro

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  10

Are you tired of carrying a heavy computer that takes low-level pictures and is very slow? Well, the iPad Pro is the complete opposite of this. First, it is not heavy at all. After all, it is just an iPad, so of course, it is very light. Also, it takes very high-quality pictures. This is true because it uses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging. LiDAR is used to determine distance by measuring how long it takes light to reach an object and reflect. Finally, it is super fast. Apple says that it is so fast that most PC laptops can not catch up. Overall, the iPad Pro is a very quality iPad so you should buy it. ...  Read more
