Hello samefag
What do you think of Technigger?
I think he's okay, some of his reviews are pretty good but him saying "dope" all the time makes me want to kill myself.
Also why is he so rich?
I think that we have this thread about him all the fucking time.
burnt out, tired, his vids dont interest me anymore
>>53028698
>his vids dont interest me anymore
Yeah him talking about phones and how "dope" Android is is really boring after a while

I have wasted my time and money. I wish I could go back, but I was stupid. Has /g/ realized that video games are stupid?

Everything is becoming a general and real threads get purged to make space for them. There's no real discussion, just shitposting in generals.
So, /g/, what's the best way to learn coding?
C -> C++
>>53025680
I meant how to learn it, but that could be useful
>>53025687
install linux.
Open terminal
learn C using exclusively the CLI. Nano and gcc is all you need.
once you learnt C, learn C++ to get what is OOP. It won't teach you every concept of OOP like java can, but it's still a good thing.
Then just pick a graphic library (Qt or GTK+ for GUI stuff, SDL for 2D stuff, openGL for 3D stuff) and make cool stuff.
Learning C++ is not a requirement actually.
I just got thrown into a serious Linux environment and I'm learning shit real fast. My boss pretty much allows me to only work in a core environment and only wants me using VI. I've enjoyed it, but I fucking detest VI. I'm sorry, it is by far the must unintuitive ugly ass piece of shit editor. I needed to edit an IP address, and that shit would not let me delete a period and put a period. I said fuck this, switched to nano and got it done in 1 second. I am flustered now due to my OBVIOUS lack of knowledge in VI,so obviously the fault falls on me, not the system,...

Op just started learning Linux he doesn't need to learn another OS
>>53023519
vi is one of those things that seems completely unusable until you know how to use it, then it becomes invaluable
nano makes sense as a default, if only because it has a bar which says how to use it, but it's very limited compared to vi, of course, you wouldn't know this just by looking at it, and most people haven't used a text editor that does more than just the basics
vi doesn't try to be intuitive, it was made for and by people who are experts with vi, it's left entirely...

The fragmentation this shit will cause will be the death of the loonix desktop.

>different compositors will require different screen recording
That's not true.
Where did you guys learn how to program (If you have)
>>53020942
Taught myself from the internet in junior high, but uni and work really sharpened my skills
>>53020942
reading the manual of my casio fx-5400 in high school 18 years ago
>>53020942
Where? At home, in my bedroom, on a commodore 64. Started by just typing in code from the magazines, eventually started modifying those programs, then started writing my own.
You kids got it easy. No www back then. Just you and a basic manual.
