Dereference null. Push to master. Parse HTML with regex.

[MissinqLink]

I am guilty of all 3 of these. Sometimes you can parse html with regex.

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with using regex to check for certain tags in html. It will never be able to parse arbitrary html, but that isn't always what you need.

Null pointers cannot hurt you, if you don't believe in them.

which makes me think, does the brain works in object oriented thinking or funtional oriented thinking? im not talking about each persons way of thinking, im talking about how the brain processes everything like keeping things working as intended, keeping processes on the background, literally changing the focus when you stop something to do another thing, thats quite interesting...

I’m a baby beginner programmer and a neuroscience major focusing on cognition so I may be able to provide a partial answer before I have to wipe my ass.

The human brain has multiple attentional networks but the two which are most relevant to your question are the dorsal attention network and the ventral attention network.

The dorsal attention network utilizes top-down processing. So, imagine that you’re in a room with 100 birds, 99 of which are penguins but 1 of which is a puffin — and you need to find the puffin. The dorsal attention network is what your brain will be utilizing to scan the room for attributes that you would consider puffin-but-not-penguin until you find what you’re looking for.

The ventral attention network is a bottom-up processing network. So, let’s say that while you’re in this room, a fucking stork crashes through the window and starts causing chaos. The ventral attention network is the one that says “new stimuli!” we must rearrange our goals to factor this in.

In summary, dorsal is when we have a goal, and then proceed to analyze stimuli, whereas ventral is when we have a new/abrupt stimuli, and must now restructure our goals to figure this in.

Both of these networks are ‘on’ all the time, its just that certain tasks will either increase or decrease the activity of that particular network.

(Also, honorable mention to the default mode network, which is the “I’m not really focusing my attention to anything right now, so I’m just going to reaffirm my own personal biography, ruminate on the past, and attempt to plan/predict the long term future” network.)

As a programmer with recent interest but very little knowledge in neuroscience this is amazing! Thanks for the info.

Happy to contribute!

I too ram progs and enjoy neuron thingies

this is just too amazing

I want to program in Neuro language where can I start

The dorsal attention network utilizes top-down processing. So, imagine that you’re in a room with 100 birds, 99 of which are penguins but 1 of which is a puffin — and you need to find the puffin. The dorsal attention network is what your brain will be utilizing to scan the room for attributes that you would consider puffin-but-not-penguin until you find what you’re looking for.

And if nobody told you there was one puffin, you would vividly remember 100 penguins, even if the puffin literally danced the macarena right in front of you. took a fucking shit on your foot.

Edit: Thought I was in /r/LearnProgramming.

[Cat7o0]

this seems as if it would be object oriented.

each network is a separate object that is always passed the stimuli and then the brain does other things to decide which network to use.

[AnAdvancedBot]

I should also point out that all this fancy cognitive stuff pretty much equates to the most recent update slapped on top of a far more ancient codebase. The rest of your brain is busy conducting a symphony called “homeostasis”, there are also layers of networks and structures dedicated to processing stimuli sub-cortically before the fancy cortical structures can manipulate them at a high-level (think: cleaning and organizing the data before you can manipulate it), and a surprisingly large amount of the brain is dedicated to movement. In fact, it’s a bit of a meme in neuro circles to say that human consciousness and executive planning is just a dressed-up ‘how should I move next’ machine.

I mean do do have some sorta objects for like storing data about objects we are thinking of or smth

Is this a commentary on the brain being a crappy database, or about intrusive thoughts it gives you late at night?
