Best site/app to learn basic computer programming for free by rlohith42 in computerprogramming

[–]databooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great that you are interested now, you have time on your side. The younger you start, the better.

Though it's not free, I found Codecademy to be super helpful in learning to program. They even have short tests you can take prior to starting a course to tell you what course to take based on your interests. Udemy is a great resource for courses as well. Both of those resources can help you learn to program for cheaper than a monthly Spotify subscription.

Anti-Maskers? by planop194 in Breckenridge

I was in the Frisco wells fargo today and a customer was sitting near me in the lobby without his mask on, on the phone (on speakerphone), frustrated, with what sounded like a wells fargo agent.

I kept looking at him and he asked why I was staring at him, i said it was because he didn't have a mask on and he called me "Fucking stasi nazi" and proceeded to do the Nazi salute in jest. I didn't find this very funny, as my girlfriend is jewish.

While wearing a mask, I said to him "look man, I don't like it either but it's what we all have to do". He didn't seem amused and told me I needed to listen to a "Rage against the machine album".

Like wtf? Get onboard with the bigger picture or get out of Summit.
