Python daemon threads 😈

"when all the daemons are killed" is a combination of words I did NOT expect to hear in a python tutorial. Thanks anyway Bro! You're awesome!

anyone know why "logged in for seconds" will display on the same line as "Do you wish to exit"? i even copy and pasted the exact code and it still does it. no big deal just curious on how to display it the same way as in the video

edit: i was able to fix it by adding \n to answer = input("Do you wish to exit?")

Great content, that's what I was looking for, a perfect solution for a problem

[kotai]

Very clear explanation on demon. Thanks so much 😃

[dx]

great video, all other video I watched made this seem so complex

[oximas-oevf]

it's not working for me
i get the do you wish to exit and timer isn't counting
then after I type in "ok" it starts counting from 1 second and doesn't stop

[mauricesalaman]

So if the demons get mad, does the computer stops working?

fellow based doom enjoyer
thanks for the lesson bro

Yo Bro! Is python enough in beginning to get a job in IT industry? What you think?

[edmerzlak]

Could you explain how answer = input("Do you wish to exit?") is tied into the timer function. I can't get it to stop counting and I see no reason why it should - Thanks!!

[AniGuy-smiy]

bro, when I ran your code, I had to input at the bottom of the terminal, not right next to "Do you wish to exit?", why is that ?

[inderjitsaini]

Why do we need time.sleep() before the count increment?

repent and come to Jesus Christ. Be not partakers in the unfruitful works of darkness.
