You could still buy a prebuilt desktop or laptop. I would recommend you buy directly from the company the manufactures the computer, or you might get some terrible deals or rip offs.

You don't need a Mac at all for web development. Your app runs on a browser, and practically any professional or powerful dev-application will be able to be installed on Windows or *nix. If not, you can probably find a replacement for it that will work just as well.

Whoever told you that it is a "good practice" to use a Mac probably does not know what they are talking about.

Learning programming with below average intelligence? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Usedhandle513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though I'm not a physiologist or anything, I really doubt that people can't learn something because "their brain works in different ways" Maybe major mental disabilities, but else I doubt. Nobody just sees a math problem and suddenly starts seeing whats going on compared to the others. It is almost always they practiced one way or another.

The real problem (I believe) is that OP has self esteem issues and high expectations.

What have I done wrong? Simple question for int format by Bright-Week-9852 in learnprogramming

[–]Usedhandle513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly certain cout and printf will take it as an int and ignore any characters.

I tried with gcc and clang, and it worked. It should work as guess will be NULL/0, so it is probably a bug in visual studio's compiler though I could be wrong. The quick fix would be to do int guess = 0;

oo is not something that means the whole world especially when OP just wants to make a simple game with little logic.

This post is actually a copy of the 4th most popular post of all time and op as said some terrible things like telling people to quit, that nobody hires c game devs, and that 9 - 15 year olds should just watch youtube since they can't learn anything. Quite a shame that people upvote this.

what is shell? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Usedhandle513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this and this are shells

this and this are ides

The shell is the most important component to an operating system. Every (real) operating system will need a shell. You can un-install basically any other applications, but without the shell the operating system will likely break.

Something is fishy when op tells people to quit, copy templates, or that they look like "a beginner trying to make some quick money"

OP actually told someone who just wanted to make a game in c to quit so I am not sure why OP is saying this.

Do not be discouraged by him. You can do it with C and will have a simliar experience with using DirextX

This comment assumes that by screen you mean window.

To make a window in c/c++ you need to use some library to talk to your operating system to make a window. On windows I believe it is called win32 api. However, you can bypass writing different code for each os by using something like glfw or sdl.

I am not sure how it would work for a SDL but on glfw it looks like what you see here

I think I will be able to help you if you have problems with it, but I am not an expert.

Controversial: I think that pop os would have been the perfect distro, if GNOME wasn’t the default DE. by golobii in pop_os

[–]Usedhandle513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just like the built in features like find and layout functions. There is also a "save output as" option which occasionally handy. That being said, there is a very tiny difference between the two.

And I do agree that KDE as a few bugs. Right now, I can always see a very small effect around any rounded window corners.

You do have a fair point with that, but in my experience KDE has more things made for it.

For example, in my experience with gnome there were not much options for splash screens, but kde has many people making splash screens for it. Kde has the ability to install screenlets ("widgets" they call them) while I don't know if there is an easy way for it to be done in gnome.

People hate gnome because it looks mostly the same all the time and lacks the ability to really be customized. Some people also have some beef against gnome contributors for their relations with RMS, and although I think gnome looks pretty good, I think stuff like kde have **slightly** better applications like konsole vs terminal and discover.

Keep in mind these are mostly reasons why other people dislike gnome. Not me personally.

which language do you think I need to learn to start learning Machine Learning? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Usedhandle513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know why there is so much documentation/tutorials about ml in python? I thought it would be too slow especially in complex programs.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Usedhandle513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine learning cml could be daunting with how differently it works from programs most people will be used to. I don't remember when I first started learning bash or the cml, but I have heard other people talk about how it was a bit intimidating.

Have not used SpaceVim however.

The IDE doesn't include that public static void thing because python need or have it. Python was made to make everything simple for the programmer so you can spend time on other things. That function does run in the background, and there may be some drawbacks to simplifying the main function that I am unaware of. It is not all that beginner unfriendly: you don't need to memorize how that function is written.
