#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofCode #Day31

Uninstalled and reinstalled @ProgrammingHero again, did the exam for #Cpp course, and it still crashed at the end.

:/

It could be my phone. I'll have to try installing it on another device. Still a bummer screenshot of the error message as programming hero app cras
Also resinstalled the very different app, @Prghub, which has much shorter courses and as a result felt deceptive about how much you were learning. I haven't uses it in over a year for sure. They have a bunch of new courses. I'll try some-I don't know if I'll keep at it w this app
#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofWriting #Day23-#Day27, need to keep track of how much I write and where. I kind of write a lot, but not always towards the goals I want to write toward. So I'm writing this tweet to stand in for missing those days' record while noting that I do write
#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofWriting #Day28 I drafted a review of #ProgrammingHub (not @ProgrammingHero) and wrote out an essay on Pharoah and the Firstborn - difficult, controversial stuff, but I feel I've gone over it enough to make a decent suggestion on it.
#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofCode #Day31 was yesterday; I did more that I didn't record. Messed around w #perl more via @Udemy & @Prghub. Some @enkidevs #CSS. Listened to fascinating interview w Joe #Armstrong, inventor of #Erlang, in #CodersAtWork. & #Dasgupta's 2nd Age of #CS.
[ha, nobody likes #Cpp, I guess? seems kinda harsh]
but also I'm so sleepy today
#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofWriting #Day32 I watched #theGreatCourses #HowToProgram ep15 for the 3rd time (its not difficult content, but each time I've watched I've either been sleepy or dealing with kids). Now 16, now in 17.

More #perl, more @enkidevs #CSS
Looking for good #Cpp code to print out and read over multiple times. Trying to practice more #codereading and #coding #walkthroughs

My brother sent me some. Anyone know of some really #beautifulCpp?
@threadreaderapp unroll, please
I think I keep rewatching this episode because I am trying to read the code and really follow along - but because I'm not following along with notes, nor pausing it nor walking through it in the most direct way
Actually, the slow internet is killing me, because it won't update @enkidevs and give me the last two lessons of the #CSS so I can finish the #WebDev course.

:/
For awhile I had all the #bitwise operations written out on flash cards so I could finish @khanacademy course. It's come up in #Oxford's #VSI on #Logic & on #Cryptography, then in @Prghub's #Perl.

It is really encouraging to slowly begin feeling more comfortable with code.
I've been working soo hard on learning how to do this, become familiar with concepts and syntax, etc.

I really want to be able to do this for my family
So this is a great example of fixing the symptom and not the cause, but I aliased a couple #bash commands together (probably should make it a script) to fix the problem where my brisk menu keeps not booting.

But it's nice to be able to effectively make a difference using Code

#willwritesandcodes #100DaysOfCode #Day30

Today was a great family day-

also studied some

Looked over my #Cpp cards

@enkidev:
2 Docker lessons
4 #CSS lessons (next #Sass)
pseudocode for binary search algorithm

closely read #Knuth's flowchart for #ArtofComputerProgramming
@wildlearnerapp's #React course has taught me more so far than at least one other online course, if not two others.
My strategy is #repeatedexposure - the more I get aquainted with a lot of the concepts, the easier I find it to engage in coding itself, its concepts, syntax, & logic --- especially since I have such a hard time getting to sit down to actually code, given my job and family life.

#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofCode #Day29 (actual)

This is a throwback to my first javascript *script,* useBash.

I just love #bash

Anyways, today... Image
Today I haven't done nearly enough; but I went over my #JavaScript Interview Question flashcards (& the 1st #Cpp one)

I also discovered @wildlearnerapp !! which is very schnazzy looking & has good quizzing so far (but where is the C++ course?)

I *love* discovering new resources
Also, #Perl? watched a couple videos on Perl.

My learning journey is vast, immersive, and cyclical. If I don't finish something right away, or if I start something new, I almost always cycle back to the old ones. I feel I have learned a lot this way, for better or worse.

@StanRockPatton @apoloticalteen Sure, I will go back to that. Breaking it up by sentence, listed alphabetically:

a.

You said,

""If the wind continued, our town would have been lost to the wildfire" is a true hypothetical even if the wind stopped."

I agree.
@StanRockPatton @apoloticalteen b. You said,

"The falsity of the antecedent does not make that "equally irrelevant" as "if an avalanche happens happens the moon will explode," with or without determinism."

Several issues come in here:
truth, possibillity, causation, wh is probably why we run into difficulty.
@StanRockPatton @apoloticalteen Oh, and Relevance. That concept comes in as well.

So let's break it up more:

b1, Truth, b2, Possibillity, b3, Causation, b4, Relevance.

#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofCode #Day19

Today I did several @enkidevs workouts on #CSS and #interviewprep, finally actually finished the #HowToProgram video on Python Modules, typing up a #python program from the video which I hope to record an audio code walkthrough for.
Hoping to get more done today still. Overall, I've been pretty productive, due in part to using the #forestapp for #focus.
I've heard a number of people talk about how important it is to get used to reading other people's code, actually understanding it, and talking about it, so if I start doing these walkthroughs it will be to practice those skills.

#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofCode #Day19

I should spend more time going over #Perlisisms. I'm sure some of them are outdated; a number of them seem worth dwelling on.
perilousresonance.wordpress.com/2023/02/11/434/
Today I did several @enkidevs workouts, and at least one @GrasshopperApp lesson.

I find it is frustratingly easier to study than to actually sit down and code. Is this procrastination? Why is typing out lines on the computer harder than reading etc?
Probably fear of failure mixed with the sense of being so slow, already bypassed by others, that I feel walking in the right direction is almost - a waste of time?
