Given that all our lectures are online now, I built a script that automatically checks my professor's website and downloads a new lecture video anytime he uploads one. It also notifies me through sound). I think it's pretty cool!

[@perper4858]

How many times checks those lectures in a day? Also what language did you used?

@Biswajeet Well done champ👍👍

[@trodenn4977]

how do you do that? any tips on where to start?

[@biswaviraj]

@@trodenn4977 you can use python or javascript (nodejs) for it.. There are few packages that you'll need.. If using python, then you need BeautifulSoup and requests packages to scrape the website. Maybe watch a tutorial or read an article on web scraping to get an overall idea of how things are done. Once you understand it, then you can write your own programs. Web scraping is easy at the same time very rewarding and fun

[@justgame5508]

One of my favourite projects I’ve worked on are physics-simulations, I built a radio wave propagation simulation that models how WiFi signals attenuate throughout buildings and used a genetic algorithm to optimise the placement of AP’s for best signal coverage

[@ictogon]

i tried to make a rigid body physics simulator and had a lot of fun. It mostly works except for static forces and sometimes the blocks can go through eachother

Project 6: hypervisor Project 7: hypervisor with PCI passthrough Project 8: containers Challenges and practices are all well and good, but it's also important not to get stuck reinventing the wheel over and over again. Another good practice is to download someone else's source code and change it to your liking, maybe take a snake game and add AI to it.

*A tip for everyone programming in python* If you are making games or just needing to make some GUI in python dont use tkinter. I recommend using pygame if you are very new to programming but if you think you know how to write code i recommend learning OpenGL as it is available in a lot of other programming languages. I personally use a combination of OpenGL and pygame

[@TaarLps]

Why would someone that uses python use openGL? Or different: Why would someone who uses a high af level language use a language as low level as possible in the same project?

[@VivekYadav-ds8oz]

For web scraping, during the peak of pandemic when people were panic-buying stuff and emptying the stock as soon as it filled, I wrote a minimalistic Python script. All you had to do was input it some stuff that you wanted to buy and the brand, and then it would search on the online store and frequently refreshed. As soon as any match was found, it would e-mail me. Not quite scalper-like as it didn't buy for me, it just notified me that the things are now available. I then manually went on the store and bought it. Did help me to secure stuff for 2 months straight.

[@johnboy6799]

I’m new to programming and what you did sounds so amazing to me. I didn’t know it was possible to do any of this

My TOP 5 for beginners 1) Game of Life => it teaches you arrays, and basic arithmetic and how to write stuff to the screen. 2) The NQueens probleem. Have a chessboard (8x8) and 8 Queens had have the computer position them so that they can be all on the board without any one capturing the other. 3) Hanoi Towers => Great problem to solve using recursion. 4) Build a dynamically scalable circular buffer 5) Code something that controls an external IO board to switch on lights or whatever.

just a quick note, you don't need an old PC to build a web server. Web Servers aren't that hard to get running, basically you just need an apache or nginx tutorial and you got a web server up and running.

You should make a video där du lär oss hur man kommer igång med SQL på en server, med inloggningar och att man loggar in och hämtar sitt "feed". Grunderna av ett socialt medie liksom!

[@alexwork4829]

I thought so too, but building a basic web server (software) for fun isn't all that difficult. You can write a simple web server that listens on port 80 in Python in a few lines and from there its up to you how many features you want to add to it. Something fully featured like Apache would be a beast, but if you just want to listen for GET requests and send back some HTML, that's not too bad. In fact, we did something similar for my networking class back in school.

I'll remind everyone to take precaution in making a web server. Make sure to put up enough security measures. Making your network vulnerable by putting it up in the web is very dangerous

[@farhadzaidi318]

i opened port 80 and 443 on my router. could that be dangerous? i dont see how anyone could gain acces to my home network through those ports

The first one is practically PayPal. Most electricity providers will do a similar thing, but taking the money out of your account.

[@ananthkamath1703]

If you don't have an old computer lying around and just want to try to have your own web server at home, you could invest in a Raspberry Pi! Granted, that it isn't as powerful as a desktop computer or a laptop, but it's still cheap and is a good starting point.

[@sambarber1953]

I’d also add writing your own language and writing your own kernel are both good projects

I've made an web server in the past week. I'm using a simple old computer with ubuntu server.

@@alessandromonticelli7444 I knew someone would comment that. While technically true, far fewer people would understand the comment if I said oblate spheroid and to be honest, it's close enough to a sphere anyway. In the real world, nothing is a perfect sphere.
