lol ok ... spoken like a true particle physicist i suppose :D
i'm not sure everyone would come to grasp C in two days when they know basic , i suppose you refer to the programming logic being the same whatever you language you use but basic is basic because it's basic and C is closer to machine level so maybe its simple to grasp if you study the building blocks of the universe for a hobby and a living ;-) and maybe i could if i would be able to focus get it down fast (i usually don't really store syntax, i just look it up, if i do a php script this month and i do one next month i probably have to look up the exact way to write loops or conditionals just to make sure because even if i can figure out the algorithm in my head the actual syntax or way of writing isnt really in my head not for php, not for javascript, not for much anything but spoken language i think :-) its just me, i know thats not how must people function but i dont function on dopamine either.
which is not a milennial instant gratification thing i just can't be lured with it the big reward in the future if you just do this and that right now and behave. Like dali liked to say ... i'm not weird, i'm simply abnormal lol
(ah that's my favourite neuromancer there in the video, one who i would have loved to have for docent back when my brain was in one piece, im sure he could have lifted me up to greater heights, very inspiring person)
I mean it's easy for someone to just ... like maslow said (also one of my all-time favourites, especially the pyramid) and something i call observers paradox or in some cases homocentrism to see the world from where you're standing.
People would tell me all the time how easy it is to lay a driveway and cut a brick in half just by feeling with one hit while i kept telling them you serioulsy don't want me to build a wall for the house you're gonna sleep in what comes easy to one isnt so much for another
i never actually had use for c and thats why i never looked into it i always thought if it comes to that why not go straight for assembler lol, but it hasnt, and i doubt it will anytime soon.
Before i lose myself in psycho-filosofy again ..
i had to look that up and its more clear now . Just having someone willing to talk about it already makes a difference and i never knew thats why they called it the god particle
i see you have a french post on the fifth force ..
and here i was thinking there's a weak and a strong force but i seem to miss two then ?
i might come back with more questions later, thanks a LOT for taking time every time
!!!!!!!
I naively think that if one person understands one language, he/she can understand any programming language. But maybe I am too naive? But as you (kind of) said, at the end of the day, it is just a matter of knowing how to find the necessary information efficiently.
Between 'god' and 'goddamn', the difference is 4 letters and better sales :)
There is a link to the English version of that post on the first paragraph of my French post. You are missing the most well-known forces: electromagnetism and gravity :)
Don't hesitate to shoot any extra question!
you shouldn't lower yourself simply because ... i think if there were more people like you physics would have a shot at the mainstream
i can manage with the french post i'm sure, an opportunity :)
What is easier: C++ or French? :)
hahah , if i didnt know any better i'd think you were trying to make me have a go at it :p ...
i stil have a book here i bought long ago but i actually never started :
As you can see from the html version a long time ago in a galaxy far away, when i had this most exciting job for the government (which in my case means taking photocopies and writing letters because that's all im good for without a degree , i dont think they actualy hire people anymore who don't have a college or preferable uni degree, not even for making coffee lol). The job was SO boring and so quickly finished i went out at noon to the bookstore a lot and bought some, got the IT-guy to give me full access and learned html lol. But never got to the rest, when the contract ended and everyone told me to go "talk to this one" and "talk to that one" because they could make sure i could stay i thanked them and said that i might come back when i'm 50 because otherwise i would die of boredom if i stayed there ... (people totally declared me crazy for refusing that)
as for your question, im not sure if you're asking the right person since i had computer for a friend since i was eight (my trusty c64 and after getting bored out of latin/math i ended up studying 'modern' languages in high school)
BUT if i would take a logical approach to the question (regardless of personal talent of people) i'd say C is easier because there are no exceptions, and living language always has exceptions . Programming logic remains the same over all languages (the core at least) so C would be easier, but i bet to a lot of people it's not :)
In French, you have exceptions, and exceptions of exceptions, and exceptions of exceptions of exceptions. And no logics. C is definitely easier.
Interesting to learn more about you by the way. I would have made the same choice. Getting bored at 25 or 30? No way! :)
well, i'll keep the seven live stories for later ... its not all been sunshine and sandy beaches, but that probably shines through, i think i'm slightly damaged lol ...
it was really one of the most (easy but) boring jobs ever, i literally ran off, after three months i had like 100 hours in minus because i always left early
and they still wanted to keep me on at the end
go figure
government ... tsk :p
i'm behind on the reading again, i thought one post per day would give me more time to check out other people since im already 90% chaos but so far i seem to barely manage replying to replies and getting my own post ready. I sometimes wonder what it feels like to have a structured mind lol
I understand. I am myself in troubles with keeping answering everyone at the moment... The flow is really huge. ^^
