Looking At You, C++

It’s high time I dip my toes into Rust

Does anyone read programming books? Like actually?

Keeping them on a shelf having skimmed the table of contents doesn’t count.

Writing mergesort in Scheme makes me sooo grateful for python. And Javascript. And Java. And Ruby. And C#. Heck, I’m even grateful for C, at least it lets you access specific list indices.

Then 2 weeks after this, looking at the chaos that is your disorganized, jumbled mess of code angry and disappointed in yourself.

Rinse and repeat.

Am i the only one who does this

and an unholy amount of linear algebra

A lot of computer science algorithms are just means to describe activities humans do naturally.

Sorting a list? Humans do it no problem; heck, in a vacuum one might adhere exactly to a quicksort + insertionsort hybrid (a speedy combo on many datasets) without even knowing it.

Bigger example: graph theory. The foundation of modern databases, neural networks, and gps routing came from the contemplation of the people of Königsberg. Euler just harnessed raw thought into a concrete set of rules and instructions that further our innate abilities.

Tragic news like half the ways people talk about magic in fiction could irl be applied to maths

I feel like the creators of Scheme were really big fans of yoda’s verbal syntax.

Typing a paper for class and one of my subheadings reads, ”What’s the point of working?” And I didn’t think through how much that would affect my ability to write the rest of the essay.

I <3 Three.js

I have so much respect for the ToString() method of Pandas Dataframes in Python.

If you’re wondering why, it’s because I’m currently trying to make a halfway decent depiction of a C# matrix multidimensional array that just puts my hashkeys in the right places and things are not going well at all.
