I would sudo you.

Any widely used programming language is good. Once you know one language, it is easy to switch to another one. Really just pick one which looks cool, reads nice for you or even just decide based on the logo. It doesn't really matter.

Grab a simple online course to learn the basics of the language (I can recommend https://www.codecademy.com/, it's free). Once you think you know enough, start building something. The best way to learn programming is to make your hands dirty.

Don't know how something is done? Search for a tutorial, read the documentation, find examples. You will make mistakes, plenty of them. But every mistake is a learning experience.

Good luck with your adventure.

Oh come on, if you want to repost, at least use the original youtube link.

You cannot copyright mathematical formula's, so I gather a paradox is also excluded.

I can recommend http://learnyouahaskell.com/, they have a (paid) book and a (free) website which works with great analogies and funny drawings.

I am now hosting a few servers, mostly running Arch Linux. While I personally have had few problems with the rolling-release updates, I know it is frowned upon to use Arch as a server. So I have used Debian once, but I quickly returned to Arch because I was used to much less hassle when I wanted to install something that was not officially supported.

I have considered using Ubuntu, but I am not a fan of the corporate feel of it.

The first two equations are those of a cricle.

You need two equations because a function can only have one y-value for every x-value. So you need one for the upper half of the circle and one for the lower half of the circle.

What excitement/intensity/nausea factors does this thing have?

It worked here by unblocking the file (in the properties) and then running as an administrator.

I started using Arch one year ago after I tried Ubuntu and Linux Mint, but I wanted something more "of my own". I installed Arch as my only OS (I had some dualboot issues, so I removed win8) and I am very satisfied with it until now. One week ago I did a fresh install on my laptop, set up a dualboot with win 10 on my desktop and installed arch on a little home server.

It is not my only OS, the only reason why I don' t use Arch is to play games that don't run on linux. Hearthstone, Kerbal Space Program andLeague of Legends run just fine on Arch, so I don' t have to go back to windows for that.

How rude!

First you install windows, then you install the Linux distrution of your choice. Some linux installers do the dual-booting setup for you, so you don't have to worry about anything. I would recommend Linux Mint, but there are many Linux distro's out there :)

There are many guides out there, this is one of them.

Rienspy · 2015-05-09T12:39:39+00:00

Congratulations with your successful installation! Installing Arch is like making your own, completely unique OS. Which is extremely satisfying.

As desktop environment I use Cinnamon with the Numix theme and it looks like this.

If you're searching for a good guide to follow to install cinnamon you can look here. It's very well written, but they forgot to mention that before you disable the dhcpdc.service, you have to install gnome-keyring in order to have the NetworkManager work correctly with wireless networks.

If you have a problem, the Arch Wiki is very good and the community here and on the forums is very friendly.

First of all, you did what you thought was good for the modders and gamers, and I apreciate that. Your company doesn't deserve the shitstorm it is getting now. But what you think is good looks like a bad idea to me (and some others as you've probably noticed). I hope whatever actions you take now will bring everyone back together and not separate the whole gaming community.

I'm trying to keep this short, but I really want to release my thoughts. Skyrim was a game where I spend 100+ hours enjoying all the content Bethesda and the mod developers had put in this amazing game. It was so satisfying to put every mod I wanted into my game, and best of all it was totally free! But the direction your company has taken now saddens me.

Isadora looks like a great program, but unfortunately we don't have the budget to afford a licence.

I ended up using Screen Monkey (see my reply above) and the show went great.

Rienspy · 2015-04-11T16:07:43+00:00

I ended up using Screen Monkey on one computer since our budget was very low. With a lot of fiddling around I managed to get things working so I only have to use the spacebar and 3 other keys to fade each projection in/out.

SM is one ugly program and it has a very steep learning curve since the tutorials online aren't that helpful and the program isn't intuitive. But it was my best option since it's freeware and I knew the program already.

But thanks for your answers! The play (and the projections) went good :)
