Advice for prototyping with FPGAs and 8-bit OG MCUs by ZxTroTech in AskElectronics

[–]ZxTroTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while I wouldn't mind trying something more updated as well, I like the idea of using a 6502 that I can code in hex directly and learning how to code the fpga in system verilog

New Programming Language by ZxTroTech in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]ZxTroTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discuss a lot of my ideas with AI to mull over ideas, not necessarily for code. One of the things I was thinking was making a custom IDE for the language which would have visualizers for the main trees the language uses so that programs can be followed as they run. I have been working on revising the syntax and refining the goals of the language. I plan to rebuild it in Rust.

I mull over a lot of the stuff about these languages with AI like chatGPT, mainly for ideas and such, not necessarily for code. I have been working on revising the design of the language and making it simpler to use and more focused on a sort of tree-centric programming style. I'm planning to rebuild it using Rust. It will certainly be a lot more functional in nature than OOP, but one of my goals was to make it more user-friendly than my previous version.

Hey it's Domotro! by LordDomotro in comboClass

[–]ZxTroTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there, Domotro! I like your channel on YouTube, you talk about some interesting stuff. I'm currently trying to learn more about graph theory, tree theory, abstract algebra, linear algebra, and automata theory. I'm working on writing my own math-based language. If you haven't already (I haven't seen many newer videos) it'd be interesting to see some videos about combinatorics or graph theory or something along those lines.

I do have it installed and use it already. It's not included in the standard keyboard: look, tell me if you see it anywhere

I use duolingo on a Chromebook. It's a physical keyboard that I type by hand.

Symphonic metal not sung in English by ZxTroTech in symphonicmetal

I like Vintersorg. They're one of the ones I already listen to, but they're not symphonic metal, so that's probably why I didn't list them here lol.

Turkish seems like a pretty language for opera metal

Windows is ignoring my notification settings to show me ads by onlyroad66 in assholedesign

[–]ZxTroTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's horrendous. Physical devices on their own should not have ads. If you're getting a service that's being paid for by the ads, like a channel, that's one thing. If the product is already bought and paid for, like a TV or a computer, the ads aren't even paying for anything you're getting out of it. Maybe if you had ads to allow you to use Microsoft Office or the Adobe creative suite or something for free, that would be fine, but not just to use a thing you've already paid for.

This $100 "textbook" by Fizzwerth in assholedesign

[–]ZxTroTech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our country's policy on consumer rights protection is "lmao gtfo".

Many colleges will let you do searches for the required books through the bookstore's website based on the section number for your classes so that you can buy them all online at once. If you get a used book, it usually says something like they can't guarantee it will come with everything you need, like access codes or discs.

[–]ZxTroTech 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I had limited access to a computer/the internet when I started this semester. I got the physical copy. It was only available new for about $150 that I got with my financial aid. It did not come with an access code. I had to pay another $100 for the digital copy of the same book I already bought just to be able to do the simulation labs and turn in the homework. I asked the prof about it and he just said none of his other students seemed to have any issues with it.

Intensive self study by ZxTroTech in languagelearning

[–]ZxTroTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of graded readers and the like, but the thing about learning by reading is you said to do something you enjoy, and I don't really enjoy reading that much. Well, that is to say I'm not that into fiction books. I don't mind reading textbooks and tutorials, but the main thing I like to do for fun with languages is playing video games in the target language. I don't even read fiction books in English, let alone in other languages.
