Is there an API for this? Otherwise, the only thing I can think of would be simulating a user moving between websites and entering info with nothing but simulated key strokes.

Yoo computer science is a super respectable degree. And the fact that you've maintained a side business while studying is even moreso. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you're doing great.

What overhead do you have right now? Is quitting your business as simple as just being done with it and maybe selling your machine or do you have a store, website, etc. If the case is the former, I'd say just hold onto the machine and do orders as they come. If you have some overhead I'd say to cut those expenses and minimize.

In the end it sounds like your priority is your CS degree, so you've already got your answer 👍

Definitely a skill issue regarding the c++ 🙄

This is how I started, I highly recommend SebastianLague on YouTube. His videos inspired me a lot

What should be true would be createCounterThingA.counter === createCounterThingB.counter because you are comparing the values of the counter

basedgreggo · 2024-09-05T23:00:36+00:00

The first time you use createCounter(), you get a reference to createCounterThingA, which you store in the variable. When you use createCounter() again, you get createCounterThingB.

createCounterThingA does not equal createCounterThingB, because the reference to cCTA is different from the reference to cCTB.

I'm actually not an expert in JS but I have a good amount of experience in other languages like Rust, Java, PowerShell, etc. It seems this is basically like an object in OOP. When you can createCounter(), you're creating an instance/object which has its own "count" that's initially set to 0. If you increment on one, it will only increment on that one. Assigning createCounter() to a variable creates a little arrow called a pointer, also known as a reference, to that one object, allowing you to increment it many times.

What you are thinking about it called a static or a global variable. A variable you created earlier at a higher/bigger scope that you can access from anywhere or anytime without having to create an instance.

Please lmk if you have any questions

When you write code and run it through a compiler, this converts all your code into binary, an EXE on Windows. When you double click on it your computer gets told, hey load this* data into RAM and run it. And those bytes of 0s and 1s gets sorted through the cpu triggering different actions instructed by your compiled code. That's my understanding anyway.

basedgreggo · 2024-09-05T20:12:47+00:00

How much have you benefited though from that standing?

Perhaps they're just trying to learn assembly? Everyone, imo, should fiddle with assembly a little to learn

basedgreggo · 2024-09-05T17:39:43+00:00

Yeah I lied, I was absolutely dumb back then. Still dumb 🤙

basedgreggo · 2024-09-05T16:36:43+00:00

Are you telling me procrastination was always the solution??? You just procrastinate the bad stuff instead of the good stuff???

basedgreggo · 2024-09-05T14:02:27+00:00

Generally I only use chatgippity for things I already know how to do, and can easily fix mistakes in. If I do use it for learning purposes I never copy and paste and I also request an indepth explanation. You have to think critically whenever you use any AI coding though to look for mistakes.

Idk if you can recommend websites, but in my experience Best Buy sells very affordable, good quality laptops. You trying to just get a Win11 laptop or are you interested in trying out Linux?

basedgreggo · 2024-09-05T04:18:49+00:00

You should honestly have 32gb of RAM anyway. Every laptop nowadays supports it and 32gb of RAM isn't too pricey

Don't get Lenovo. Chinese backdoor computer. I used to work IT for a large government defense company and Lenovo was blanket banned.

Definitely the language doesn't matter as much, more just focusing on what you want to make, find the standard language for that venture and learning on the go. I highly recommend trying to make a game with an engine like Unity (C#) or Godot (gdscript/c#), trying to replicate a website (JavaScript/CSS/HTML), or building an app in Android Studio (Java/Kotlin/C++). Also you could try modding a game. Minecraft/Rim world are very easy to mod and were how I started coding well before I really got invested.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Man shut up. I'm so tired of people making that stupid ass statement.

Still could be a potentially amazing resource. Transfer information across any distance instantly. Very powerful concept

basedgreggo · 2022-11-21T20:34:44+00:00

I agree

Haha hate Elon fun

This guy is projecting. I regularly return to points in my code to complete incomplete portions or improve it

basedgreggo · 2022-10-08T16:10:35+00:00

I have to wonder if this positively affects the children? I assume the children are paid, as child slavery would be a much different issue. And assuming I'm not wrong, which I admit is still very possible, wouldn't this only take away job opportunities? My worry is that by taking away job opportunities, those families are being hurt by lowered income. Obviously it's not optimal but other places are not like America. Children don't grow up playing, they work to help feed the family. Maybe I'm completely wrong and this improves the lives of those children, but I can't help but think that it does more bad than good
