It’s interesting how as I’ve progressed as a programmer the things I turn to for therapy have also progressed.
At first it was Scratch: after a span of getting frustrated by Python I would play with Scratch to at least make things that did what I wanted them to.
A little while later I wrote HTML and CSS to feel good about myself, because even when the default padding for <body> screws up your positioning there’s at least SOMETHING on the screen instead of an aggressive error message.
Now, it’s python. When Scheme or Haskell or C or Java or C# (less so C# - it’s actually pretty nice) or even Javascript are bothering me I can always turn to Python to feel better.
I wonder what it’ll be next? Maybe one day I’ll see C++ as my relief. Probably not. But maybe. Perhaps the final evolution of a programmer is when you can feel completely peaceful while writing Posix level C. Perhaps even assembly. Probably not. But perhaps.
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.
The more I work with front-end dev the more respect I have for UX designers. It takes 2 hours for me just to make sure that when the window resizes I don’t lose all functionality.
C is a shot of American Rye (100 proof, bottled-in-bond)
Python is a Ramos Gin Fizz
Javascript is a bone-dry, dirty, vodka martini
React a Cosmopolitan
Angular an Appletini
Express an Espressotini (yea I say that instead of “espresso martini” because I find it more fun this way)
C# is a Sazerac with equal parts cognac and whiskey, and the person making it will HAVE to tell you how “a lot of people say it’s the first cocktail, but that’s not really true”
if i were a drink i’d be cherry vanilla coke
Black People in Programming/Computer Science
This is BY NO MEANS an exhaustive list. In fact, there are MANY, MANY, MORE. I’m just trying to draw attention to the major contributions black people have made to the Computer Science / Programming community.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
- Lindsay Grace : Designing games with social impacts.
- Marsha Williams : First black woman to earn a PhD in Computer Science. She also lead many initiatives to increase black representation in STEM careers.
- Clennita Justice, Aggrey Jacobs, and Travis McPhail : Employees at Google improving Google Play Books and Google Maps.
- Katherine Johnson : Her work with NASA was critical in putting humans in space.
- Clarence Ellis : First black man to get a PhD in Computer Science. He pioneered Operational Transformation, early group collaboration software for plaintext documents.
- Dorothy Vaughan : Paved the way for African American females at NASA and in programming in general. TAUGHT HERSELF FORTRAN. BEFORE THE INTERNET WAS INVENTED. Imagine trying to learn a low-level programming language WITHOUT Stackoverflow or even ctrl + f.
I feel like the creators of Scheme were really big fans of yoda’s verbal syntax.
CSS, the most toxic lover
Oh CSS,
I have not a single guess
how one can hope to ever
with you win success.
Sweet CSS,
you leave my sanity a mess
and my div tags all in shambles
while I trudge on with hopelessness.
Bitter CSS,
though you display indifference
as you treat me miserably
to you I will always return, nonetheless.
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
There are only 2 options when I’m writing my commit messages:
1. “I haven’t pushed in a while so here are a LOT of changes to at least 7 files.”
2. “I hate myself because I worked for 2 hours tonight and as I write this message I realize that all I have to show for that time is a 3 line for loop.”
(define begone ‘(Go away scheme))
Out with the old...
and in with the new...
