The Programming Thread

[A Person]

I made this because it might be a fun idea with so many people learning various things related to programming/coding on the forum. I will open with a joke:

Why do anarchists only use Haskell?

Spoiler: show

Because it's stateless!

[Vompatti]

I love Haskell in an erotic way.

I love Haskell too k. There is a music composition thing made in Haskell, I would like to try to figure it out some day.

Here is a site that has some courses for practicing with, for people who are new to prograrmming.

[Marmot]

I know how to use Python and Java so far. Learning Ruby is on my agenda for this summer.

[A Person]

I could stand to learn Ruby too.

[Epignosis]

I made my first C++ program from scratch.

It tells you how happy you are. It wears out its novelty after seven seconds, but shit, I built it.

[DrWilgy]

Currently learning c++

Already know Java and python.

That feeling is why I like programming.

[Tangrowth]

Anyone in here work with SAS at all?

[Epignosis]

This isn't the NBA thread, dude.

Maybe I am looking at the wrong thing but does it really cost $9k to have a copy?

[Vompatti]

If it's for statistics your should probalbly learn R instead.

Does this have something more than just memorizing syntax, q.m. I started the C++ one and it seems codeacadaememy-flavoured.

Not really, it mostly seems like a better made codecademy

heck yeah i would

i hsould be learning more functional stuff, and also some more machine learning stuff I was doing

If anyone would like to learn to program in assembly for a fictional 80s computer, I recommend the game TIS-100 k

[S~V~S]

I think you should have posted that in your Robot Devil persona, but that's just me, k?

[A Person]

If anyone would like to learn to program in assembly for a fictional 80s computer, I recommend the game TIS-100 k

I probably cxan't afford that

it's sometimes on sale or you might even find it for free if you know what i mean

[tin man]

i'm learning R for my summer job and it is hard
i'm not naturally skilled at coding lol

[Marmot]

I could stand to learn Ruby too.

After a few days working with Ruby earlier this summer, I don't like.

Is anyone here partial to Ruby for one reason or another?

[Vompatti]

It seems that Ruby is one of those languages that forces you to use objects?

[Vompatti]

I've been reading A Tour of C++ by Bjarne Stroustroup and listening to some of his lectures and it seems that C++ is a lot less ugly when used correctly, for example the templates remind me of type classes in Haskell and the memory management seems cleaner and less complex than in plain C.

[Marmot]

I had a raspberry pi.

[Vompatti]

raspberries are tasty

[Vompatti]

// Templates in C++ are mostly used for generic programming, though they are
// much more powerful than generic constructs in other languages. They also
// support explicit and partial specialization and functional-style type
// classes; in fact, they are a Turing-complete functional language embedded
// in C++!

[Tangrowth]

I need a SAS tutor or something.

[Tangrowth]

Anyone in here work with SAS at all?

Maybe I am looking at the wrong thing but does it really cost $9k to have a copy?

And... probably. I can either buy it through the UT system for $250 subscription a year or just use UTSA's Citrix access for free (which is what I end up doing because of the $$, even though I'd prefer the former).

[Vompatti]

If you pay for proprietary software, you're no better than the people who license it.

[thellama73]

I need a SAS tutor or something.

I think I used SAS once in grad school, but we primarily worked in STATA. I stopped caring when I realized that econometrics is all lies designed to give empirical credibility to whatever your pet theory happens to be.

Yeah, pretty much true.

[Marmot]

I'm taking a Probability/Statistics class right now. I mentioned this to a friend of mine who did her undergrad in math and she responded with something along the lines of "Statistics are great! You can create a model to explain any data behavior you want however you want!"

[Tangrowth]

But yeah, that's pretty much why I'm already disheartened by accounting research.

In this moment I'm thinking about learning SFML because it's supposed to be faster than SDL and I love Bjarne Stroustrup in an erotic way.
