I have a silly questionWhat's the point with using difficult distros, such as Arch and Gentoo, when you can use simple ones like Ubuntu?Does it help with learning code or programming? Just curious
Hinata is ichiban kawaii.
>>69885192>>69885206Wait really? That's just stupid then. Why learn this shit when it doesn't help with shit
>>69885330if you want to be a linux sysadmin then using a do-it-yourself distro could be helpful for learning. But for software engineering it's not that relevant
If you are paranoid or if you need your shitty ass 10 year old PC to run comparable to a new one, those difficult distros do the job. Depends on your use and who you are if these distros would even benefit you

What is /g/'s opinion on the Oberon System?I heard once it's like the last frontier for hackers...
>>69883822(You)>>69883953(You)
Does Oberon have a lead developer we can literally meme to death now we all done tinkering with temple ?
>>69882816I haven't used the OS, but Oberon is a well-designed, if spartan, programming language. Wirthian languages are generally much better than C-derived ones. They are designed from the ground up to be simple, but also practical. Writing an Oberon-0 compiler is a good introduction to compilers. However, Oberon is not very practical to write Un*x applications in today. You're better off with language inspired by Wirth's languages, such a Free Pascal and Ada 2012.I think Wirth is the kind of figure /g/ would appreciate if it knew more about him. This interview gives you an idea of his mindset.http://www.eptacom.net/pubblicazioni/pub_eng/wirth.html>The wealth of features of many languages is indeed a problem rather than a solution. A multitude of features is another consequence of the programmers' belief that the value of a language is proportional to the quantity of its features and facilities, bells and whistles. However, we know that it is better if each basic concept is represented by a single, designated language construct. Not only does this reduce the effort of learning, but it reduces the volume of the language's description and thereby the possibilities of inconsistency and of misunderstanding. Keeping a language as simple and as regular as possible has always been a guideline in my work; the description of Pascal took some 50 pages, that of Modula 40, and Oberon's a mere 16 pages. This I still consider to have been genuine progress.

So I started with Python (as it seems everyone online advises), and I'm definitely read to move on. I've been at it for about a month, and although I've learned a lot (including loops, functions, data types, recursion, basic data structures, etc), I don't actually get how all of it works underneath. It's like I keep throwing together random things to solve a problem, then mash run and debug until I can get it to work, with a very shaky understanding of why any of it does what it does. Python's "it just works" mentality makes it so yeah, it works, but I hardly know why. So I'm looking for a language that is minimalistic and simple, and that has little in the way of syntactic sugar or other things that obscure what is actually happening. My intuition tells me that C is a good idea, but people also tell me that it's dated and takes too long to do even simple things. Not sure who to believe. In terms of what I want to do with programming, I'd like to gain a better understanding of how computers work, and also I'd like to make indie games eventually.
If you want to learn how a computer actually works, you need to go to a school or take a course. It doesn't help you at all unless you're planning on creating something that low level.If you want to become a good programmer, then you need to learn your data structures and try implementing some algorithms. This and Leet code, and you can even land your first job. If you want to make python games that don't run like garbage, you'll probably need to implement data structures that reduce checks, so things like Quad trees, A^, etc.If you REALLY want to make games and learn how to program at the same time, I recommend you use a framework. Seriously, nobody is going to give you points for writing everything yourself. Most software is just glue holding other software, and when you're just starting out it's a hard thing to accept and live with. When I was starting, I wanted to write everything, EVERYTHING. Every data structure, every line of code. I felt that if I didn't write it, then I was cheating. It's not. Most software is just about creating an experience, whether it's online, offline, a game, or an app. If you want to create good software, which should be your ultimate goal, then you need to look past the lines on your screen. Wanting to be the best programmer ever is like wanting to be the best hammerer ever. It doesn't matter, and people only care about their roofs and sheds and stuff.
>minimalist and simpleLisp>has little syntactic sugarLispAlso the best way to learn how to program multicore systems is to learn Erlang. It basically makes parallel and concurrent programming trivial.
sorry im going to hijack this thread: whats the best way to start learning a programming language if im not going to school for it?is there any website, books, videos that you guys can recommend that gives an introduction as well as beginner projects to work on?

>>69885080I'd learn both a statically typed functional language (Haskell, F#, or any other ML derived lanugage) and any imperative language before tackling Rust imho.From that background, you'll be able to learn Rust in a week if you need to, since you only need to understand ownership & the borrow checker.Rust is still a fairly new language with very few jobs, so you can learn it later at any time, and I'd go for something that gives you a more distilled learning experience first.

Ok I'm going to ask here since I am not sure where else to ask.So I did a network scan (ping method) on my network with my android phone. I noticed when I can the subnet for wired connections I dont see any devices, only when I scan specific ip address for the wired device (same method, pinging) I haven't tried with my laptop, using debian or whatever, but what could possible cause this? Scanning too fast maybe?
