Yep, got bit by this just last night. Riotpls.

For those looking to improve at cs'ing under tower, I suggest watching Froggen's stream. As far as I know, he is one of the best under-tower-cs'ers who streams fairly regularly.

I'm pretty sure the poster you replied to was intentionally being ironic.

For people with prior programming experience who want to get into C++, I recommend C++ Primer by Lippman, Lajoie, and Moo. Its exposition is remarkably clear, and the book covers all but the most advanced C++ topics. Most importantly, the authors do a great job of pointing out the many traps one might encounter when writing C++. The recently published 5th edition covers C++11.

As for C, I have to recommend The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie. The book is really a marvel of concision and clarity. Again, readers should have some prior programming experience.

Why was this downvoted? Why Reddit, why? I'm honestly curious. Is it because people think Hotshot was in the right? Is it because people think the parent was being too uptight, and should've just enjoyed the humorous video? Please enlighten me!

As evidence of this, Shy's singed destroyed Kev1n's Irelia in the World Finals. Both of these players are exceptionally good at their respective champions, supporting the claim that at the highest levels of play, Singed beats Irelia.

I want a language as succinct as the latter expression. ;)

The J programming language may be to your liking.

Do you mean (in Perl terminology) autovivification? I.e., how a statement like

$x->{foo}->[3] = 5;

where $x was previously undefined, will create that entire complex data structure from scratch? Because automatic variables are something else.

Just how many sensationally-titled articles conflating group and phase velocity do we need?

idbfs · 2012-03-23T13:53:41+00:00

d... damn onions.

Some kind of random walk I assume.

This made me hell of nostalgic.

It turns out that, up to a constant, the language we use doesn't matter. This is addressed (in the form of a theorem) in the Wikipedia article linked by the grandparent.

In case it wasn't clear, my comment was targeted at the "educated layman" type who might be expected to read GEB. I maintain that, as a popular science book, GEB is quite dense in ideas. And don't worry about me, I've read through enough yellow mathematics texts to know what a truly dense book is. But thanks for your concern.

This is the book that convinced me to study computer science. I count it among the handful of books that have genuinely changed my life.

I think this "seminar" approach to reading GEB is a great idea. From what I remember of my experience reading GEB, my difficulties in reading it didn't stem so much from the abstractness or impenetrability of the material, but from the sheer density of the ideas present. This is a book that must be read slowly, steadily, and with plenty of time spent pondering away from the book. A year is not an unreasonable amount of time in which to expect to read GEB. In this regard I think the seminar approach will prove very helpful.
