I used to buy LG phones for the headphone jack before they stopped making phones. Now I have a sony xperia 5 iv and they just announced they’re going to stop selling phones in the US… Ugh

As someone who makes indie games professionally, I taught myself how to program by making video games. Maybe it’s just my adhd, but I have a difficult time with organized learning, but I pick things up really quickly by doing. I wouldn’t get too caught up in the “I need to learn it the right way before I make games” part, since the making games part is exactly what kept programming interesting and engaging enough to prevent me from getting bored.

Second I also wouldn’t get too locked up trying to decide which programming language to use. Modern programming languages are all conceptually pretty similar. It’s really only minor syntax differences. Learning a new programming language is mostly just a matter of “how do I write a for loop in this language again?” It doesn’t take too long to adapt.

I use Unity and C# right now, and I’m in the middle of learning Godot to make the switch. I would generally agree with what other people have said. C# is a pretty good language to start with. Just low level enough to make sure you learn fundamentals without being so low level that you have to fiddle with memory addresses and pointers like c/c++.

As for codecademy, I tried it when I was first starting out like 10 years ago, so I can’t vouch for it now, but it seemed to very much be “Learn how to type code” and not “learn how to actually program.” Just explaining how to write if statements and for loops isn’t really teaching programming. I still don’t think there’s really a good universal way to teach it, even after taking programming classes in college. Everyone sort of picks it up differently, at different paces, and enjoys different parts of it, so I still think picking a project you think sounds cool and finding and following along with YouTube tutorials and just trying stuff out until it works is a pretty good way to get started. You can always take the time to read a book or take a course after you’ve determined if programming is even something you’re vaguely interested in.

Joe Pera Talks With You

The link to every single one is there in the article you didn’t read.

“you can get rabies” makes this meme pretty confusing.

This person is not localthunk. They just posted the link.

This isn’t representing projections of a human head. This is representing projections of the globe if the globe had a giant human head drawn on it instead of the continents.

Do you mean battle tested? Lol

“Chili” is a pepper. Chili con carne is the traditional dish. There’s no dish called “chili”. The version without meat is an adaptation that came later.

Because traditionally both of those recipes are not vegan? Chili is meat based and pumpkin bread has eggs. You didn’t make chili and pumpkin bread, you changed the recipes. They feel the need to indicate that somehow.

I don’t know your family, so I don’t know if they’re doing it to be annoying, I guess if they’re also calling your salads vegan salads, that would answer the question, but I don’t see any harm in them labeling the vegan food you make as vegan food. They still eat it right? They’re not shit talking it for being vegan are they?

But they never said “with”?

Yea same issue on my end. Seems the balatro dev didn’t set up the shop properly.

Such a fun museum, so many cool pieces of hardware I’d never have the chance to see in person.

This happens because the connector is at an angle. Since it’s at an angle, the screw presses against the side and jams itself in place. All you have to do is tilt the connector the other direction and the tight screw loosens right up. Easy peasy.

Lmao right? Texas alone is 3 times as wide as Denmark. If you were to move from say Dallas to Los Angeles, you’d be moving about 1500 miles, or 6 Denmarks.

But neither c++ or Java have typeof
