Build a project. Learn how to do each step by searching the internet. It’s quite literally that easy.

Epiphany is a neat little project, but my understanding is it has performance issues bc it can’t use the GPU or something, like YouTube videos load slow.

Haskell

Here’s how I think it works

In formal language, what it means to accept a verification means does the result fall into the list of acceptable values.

Consider adding two 2-bit numbers:

• Alphabet: { 0, 1}
• Language: x x consists of four binary digits representing two 2-bit binary numbers where the result of adding these two numbers is a valid 2-bit binary number (i.e. falls between 00 and 11)
• Then you have an automata that will:
  • Start from the rightmost bit
  • Add the corresponding bits (+ carry from any previous iterations)
  • Carry over to the left if needed
  • Repeat for both bits
  • Check for acceptance
• Machine as a whole simply checks did the inputs produce a valid 2-bit number, so it just accepts or rejects

The machine itself simply holds this automata and language, so all it does is take input and reject/accept end state. I think you’re just getting caught up in definitions

A sum of a list of numbers I think would be something like

• Alphabet: digits 0-9 and ‘,’
• Language: a single string of digits or a single string of digits followed by a comma and another valid string
• Automata:
  • Are we a single string of digits? If yes, accept
  • Sum the last number into the first and remove the comma
  • Repeat
• Machine: Does the some operation result in a valid string?

Machines accept a valid state or hit an error state (accept/reject). The computation happens between the input and accept/reject.

But maybe I don’t understand it either. It’s been a while since I poked around at this stuff.

I didn’t know Go had interfaces. Neat

I can’t even wrap my mind around people who use 60% keyboards and use a bunch of extra function keys let alone anything more drastic

In VR, you are able to place windows anywhere. You have infinite amounts of screen. Look at something like Simula

Bc they’re about to release a VR headset PC that allows just that. It will likely inspire other companies to do so as well

Move to VR and infinite screen space. We’re so close. No doubt once Apple joins the fray it’ll be time

What I said:

You could mull over and discuss a million different ways to get started. The most important thing is to be decisive and just do

We could go on for hours debating what the best beginner language, environment, project, etc is, but the important thing is that they pick something and do it.

I gave them a specific thing to get started on. That’s the important thing.

Learning programming is gonna be hard. They’re gonna face issues no matter what, so like I said:

Is it the best way? Who cares just get started

That’s why I said you missed the point. I don’t think you read my reply at all and just stopped at the first word lol

Rust is renowned for being hard and frustrating to onboard onto. I don’t think this is a wise suggestion.

You missed the point

Pick Rust, learn Bevy, and make a Flappy Bird clone. Is it the best way? Who cares just get started.

I need to get caught up on C#. I stopped using it just before C# 8

Thankfully, we migrated to git entirely right before I joined the company

Return to the office. Forced to use Windows again

Ubuntu Mono.

I think it has support for most special characters, but some of the weirder symbols aren’t there like a handful of IPA characters or emojis.

But you can always get backup fonts on your system just in case

It could be the devs just like programming in Rust. It’s a nice language lol

I feel it’s caused by two things:

• In industry, most people do more reading than writing, so you see a lot of other people’s mistakes and have to fix them rather than your own. You don’t make enough code to feel humbled.
• Out of industry, there’s often a vacuum. You code one way and make a thing and you’re proud of it. You never hear criticism, and you’re defensive of your abilities. This could be programmers who are new or just out of college or do it as a side to their main job. You don’t share code enough with people to learn better ways and be humbled. Good enough is enough to be proud of.

There’s an in between state that can open up the door to humility. Maybe a person who works at a company and thus deals with customers, non-programmers, and a team but still works on open source and in their free time build lots of side-projects and open sources them. You’re making enough code and putting it out there enough to really receive good criticism. Those people would be more likely to be humble I suppose
