@Absinthe What i like about vim is the keys are easy to remember, its why i like evil-mode flavors like spacemacs. The popup help as you type in spacemacs and doom-macs though is a clear winning feature for me

@Absinthe Actually last I checked in 2019 vim was still a pretty strong choice among developers. Checkout the stackoverflow survey it goes into some crazy detail.

@Absinthe yea Spacevim, but its far less popular. I've never done a real deep dive on vim or emacs until lately. So I'm really not sure what Vim would offer me that Emacs + Evil wouldnt.

IT curriculum should include way more ethics and social awareness

i find it very interesting that consent is mainly discussed within sexual scenarios

but i promise you need consent for any/every interaction online and offline. it’s not just for sex. it’s for hugs, for DMs, for flirting, for following, for collecting personal information too

just like. ask before doing things u giant doinks

While pondering about a pointless optimization of a pointless feature of one of my pointless projects, I stumbled upon a #toyprogrammingchallenge similar to this one

but different.

A couple of ways to put it.

Colloquial(mathy jargon):
Given a prime factorization of a number, generate all of its factors(prime or otherwise) in ascending order.

Down to code(with fumbling):
Given a multiset(in ascending order) of prime numbers, generate all numbers... whose prime factors are subsets of that set... too mathy?... maybe then "that can be obtained by multiplying numbers from that set together"... in ascending order.

Examples:

Input: 30 = (2,3,5)
Output: ([1,]2,3,5,6,10,15[,30])

Input: 60 = (2,2,3,5)
Output: ([1,]2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30[,60])

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y The nicest thing about it is the CSP stuff, I think. It's also ruthlessly simple. Ken Thompson is involved, he has done a lot of the language design and a lot of the compiler.

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y Oh, you might like rosettacode.org, then. It's full of problems like that, and if you are learning something less common, there will be some algorithms that you can implement pretty easily.

Oh, one thing, @Absinthe what programming language are you using for AoC? I was using Rust.

@Absinthe @p @l0wk3y I started late (on AdventOfCode) and did only one and a half day :P
I had to travel too, Internet was bad and I ended up losing motivation. I'll try to go back to it when I go back home.

@yohanandiamond C++ is, in my experience, not very enjoyable.

C is very fun, though.

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y That's fun! I think you could save some effort by putting "ones" and "teens" into the same array.

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y Programming languages.

When I do a programming language, I usually go with "Hello, World!", then 99 Bottles of Beer ( http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/abc.html ), then Project Euler #31 ( https://projecteuler.net/problem=31 ).

Turns an analog input signal into a digital equivelant (same frequency but magnitude information is lost)

@Absinthe I just found out about advent of code this year and it looks neat. I may try some of the challenges if I have the time. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

Physics is fun
