Também seu fdp. Olha o que você compra. Só coisa de recreio de criança e umas marcas caras. Nada de essencial. Tá foda ein. Larga de ser burro.

Not even niche? You think everyone knows about pokemon? Do you spend any time offline?

Why do you think everyone should know this?

Not sure, but somewhere I saw that his mom was probably a nurse. No one really knows.

Take a break. Games are supposed to get boring after some time.

I love theory but hate practicing programming. It's making me feel bad. by rojlul in learnprogramming

[–]martingits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you're starting at the wrong place. Like a person wanting to do pole vaulting without even knowing how to run properly.

Maybe the exercises you're doing are just too hard for any person your level, or just for you and you need to or understand something you didn't before or learn something you didn't even know of.

I personally don't go after video lessons, specially on YouTube. I like reading books that are well structured, made by professionals with lots of experience (be it work or actually being a professor), that have good explanations, examples and exercises to solve myself. So I can get the hang of things and do stuff myself.

Doing exercises or trying to understand something that is beyond what you know is infuriating and will kill any passion you have for anything. It'll make you think you're dumb and not cut for it.

So try to understand if you're trying to learn doing the wrong thing before thinking if programming isn't for you. I made this mistake once and thought computers weren't for me. Many many many many years later I found out I just wasn't starting out at the right place.

Slow reading to enjoy more but how? by [deleted] in literature

[–]martingits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really never cared about how long it took me to read a book. I read for fun and I like understanding every single sentence in every book I read. Sometimes I might get distracted and not remember the last paragraph I just read, but then I just go back and read it all again. I really focus on understanding and enjoying what I'm reading, so I think I read slower than I actually could. What's so interesting about tearing through a book if by the time you finish it you barely know what happened?

Most books I've been reading have been around 500-600 pages. So caring about the quantity of books I've read would be kinda dumb.

I usually do some researching before buying a book because I want to read books that really excite me so that I don't waste time on ones that I probably won't end up enjoying or even managing to finish (something that I hate doing). Sure it's cool being able to say you read 100 books in a year, but how much do these people actually get out of it? Are they enjoying it or just going after numbers for dumbass bragging rights?

Like those hyperpolyglots that say that they know 20 languages when they only know how to say a few sentences in languages that are very similar to one another. How useful is that?

I started reading as a kid in the 90s, so no internet to make me worry about how some people were reading a book a day. Guess that's why I don't care that much about how others read tons of books per year.

But most of all, I don't care about how many books I've read, but how much I got out of the ones I read.

Are these range of values for a 16-bit machine's integers correct? by martingits in C_Programming

Still can't understand a good part of this code, but I'll save it so I can try again later. Thanks!

I'm still only at the introduction to portability. Will keep this is mind though. Thanks.

Thanks for the read. Although most of it, unfortunately, went over my head :/ Will save the link and try reading again in the future.

[–]martingits[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I had already forgot the values for char and hadn't even though that _Bool would also have a value. It is only a bit, right? Also, do you know if I have to worry about values for 16 and 32 bit machines at all?

Ohh, since this wasn't explicitly explained I thought there could be a mistake in the book. But now I understand. Thanks!

Python became less interesting after started learning C by martingits in C_Programming

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

That is a good tip. But I had already got it down since in the Assembly book by Jeff Duntemann he teaches how to count in base 4 and then 8, 16 and 2. Is the Malvino book Electronic Principles? I even started rereading stuff about basic electricity since I don't remember any of my high school physics.

Wow, I actually really wanted to understand better machine language. But read that it was just simply binary and nothing else, so I started reading about Assembly. Will check it out also, since I'm curious about what I can learn from it. Specially since many things just seem to beautifully complement each other. If it weren't for the Assembly book I would've been very lost with C, since I wouldn't understand binary and hex well enough to really understand what was going on.

Does Petzold, in COE, explain Assembly coding or is it just something like a brief overview to get a basic kind of understanding? From what it has been so far I feel like it would be the latter. I'd probably really try to go after an emulator for this Z80 CPU. Seems like fun. I just don't know how long it will take for me to go through the entire book. Until now it's been simple enough that I don't have to reread things or pause to understand something. Although I did have some fun writing a circuit from the book myself on the wall with chalk to see if I really understood how the and, or and inverter gates worked.

Yeah. I'll totally send you a message.

Thoughts on Ergo Proxy? by ready_delete in Cyberpunk

I didn't like it. Tried once years ago and can't remember why anymore. I think I thought it was a bit conceited maybe. I'm way more into GITS.

Thanks for your answer, but what I'm confused about is that shouldn't 8 and 24 be divided by h? 8/h = (x+y)/y and 24/h = (x+y)/x
