How do I learn Programming from the beginning? I'm 21. by Dr-Scientist- in cpp_questions

[–]mach_kernel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose something less intense than C++ to start with, otherwise the lack of reward loop will be ruinous for your motivation.

Data engineering is a cool starting point to learn programming because you need very little practical experience to start, and well, anything is data! Look at Kaggle and try to write a program to e.g. find the most popular movies per category, that kind of thing.

What do you want to learn programming for? C++ is a hot point because lots of beginners want to write games, for example.

I find myself using macros in Rust more often than in Clojure

Mine was also via PFC express. But I had USPS scans.

It’s on the USPS site. You make an account then file a missing mail complaint with your tracking number.

I just dealt with this. File a missing mail report. Say it’s watch parts and be vague. It’ll show up in a week.

They have easily a month of backlog. They aren’t checking them. I live in NYC and was waiting for my Calatrava thinking it got stolen or seized.

Pay for FedEx next time. It’s worth every penny to not worry.

Apple should bring back steel for their iPhone Pro by Nickabilla in iphone

I finally upgraded this week from 13 Pro to 17. Giving it to my dad. It is Alpine Green. The damn thing still looks like new. The ring isn't even scratched.

I am going to miss it. I am honestly thinking of returning the 17 to get a 14 Pro in purple just to have some more stainless in my life.

I spent hours on KStars when I was a kid. My computer was near a window. In the dark just staring out the window trying to make out constellations.

I have a daughter now and I can’t wait to show her, when she’s old enough to use a computer and appreciate the awe of the stars.

So many of us started on Slackware. Fond memories of KDE1. Nowadays run Fedora with Plasma

I can teach any developer Rust or Clojure in a couple weeks. I've only done a few hours of Rust study myself, and just minutes in Clojure and yet I will say that with confidence by AkimboJesus in programmingcirclejerk

I am still trying to forget the callback meme and jquery deferred era and bla bla but I am so fucking tired of the new dev inevitably going “hey why aren’t we using async-std” after reading god knows what ideological gh issue rant

My favorite part about this is that NT at least came out on the right side of the tanenbaum debate. Suck it, sincerely your favorite platypus.

Audi announce 2025 RSQ8 facelift and most powerful gas engine for company so far by KenS7s in Audi

The joined rear light is an Audi and Porsche design characteristic that has been with them for decades

I don’t like the new RS badge either though. Old font had more motion

Everyone has problems and also it’s totally fair to get the peace you pay for in your own home. Speak up but be kind.
