The Newest Fabled Creature Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 9 minutes ago, HelloThere said: It's always nice whenever some new content shows up or you find new music. People say that romance is one of the best emotions but how about your emotional reaction when you FINALLY find that one song you've been looking for but just couldn't remember the name? There was this one time I was looking for one phonk song that I absolutely loved hearing when watching yt shorts and it took me literal hours but I finally found it like a month ago. XD That literally happened to me the other day!! The joy was immense. I found this song that has been used everywhere on tik tok and whenever I tried clicking on the record spinning to find it's name, it was always some pre-recording of the song so the name wouldn't be on there. The song was Love You So by The King Khan & BBQ Show, one my of new favorite romo songs now 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CSS box model is IMHO pretty difficult to understand and use correctly, and I've seen many developers who exhibit a stubborn resistance to it, since it's so different to normal programming. Nowadays, we use stuff like Bootstrap or Foundation that make it dramatically easier, and many frontend developers regard those frameworks as workarounds to understanding CSS. They're doing ok, until a certain "small problem" comes up that needs manual fixing ... 23 hours ago, organs and bone said: What’s the opinion on hmtl? Plain HTML is easy to master.

I like to think of it like the outlet that holds the charger. Because it's a base, there's a limit to what you can do with it in terms of styling. However, without it, you can't do anything at all. Thankfully, this pancake uses a simple recipe and you can learn how to make it within a few hours. Still, while the basic principals are fairly easy to grasp, every time you learn a new language you sorta have to learn how to incorporate that into the base. So once in an eternity, you might pick up something new haha. I actually don't think CSS is all too difficult to learn if you've never used a back end language before (HTML doesn't count here). In fact, compared to styling with HTML I would actually call it easier because of how it's organized. Since I posted that first comment I did end up completing my second year compsci course and learned some java (still a beginner but I can make objects, user controls, and move stuff) but It's been torturous. Java is like math. It is math. Applying it is like calculus. Unfortunately for me, it's also important. But it does do some pretty cool things. I can see why people who have used Java forever would be annoyed learning CSS. It's like asking a genius mathlete to excel at art class. Just, why? It's a terrible analogy but it encompasses the issue 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, compared to styling with HTML I would actually call it easier because of how it's organized. How does one style with HTML? I know that web design in the age of yore was based on using HTML tables for the page. Controversially, that was probably a rather natural way to look at things. And the first iterations of CSS really had inadequate layout capabilities, e.g. missing display:table, display:flex. Anyway ... IMHO, CSS never ceases to amaze me. Like when I came across the problem explained here. I really don't think there's anything "easy" about it. 😀 On 3/21/2024 at 4:56 PM, CanadianBird said: Since I posted that first comment I did end up completing my second year compsci course and learned some java (still a beginner but I can make objects, user controls, and move stuff) but It's been torturous. Java is like math. It is math. Applying it is like calculus. Unfortunately for me, it's also important. But it does do some pretty cool things. Normal programming is certainly way more analytical compared to CSS. So I totally agree it is very close to math But there was some interesting research that I just have to share, claiming "... coding does not precisely replicate the cognitive demands of mathematics either". Probably the crucial difference is that one can employ indirect or non-constructive methods in math, but not in programming. Like, you can prove there are infinitely many primes without having to develop an algorithm that produces an infinite sequence of primes. If we look at Euclid's proof ... "Assume that you found the largest prime n, then the product 2 · 3 · 5 · ... · n + 1 must be prime again, since any division by 2, 3, ..., n always yields the remainder 1." ... we see that it only works non-constructively: you show that a claim is self-refuting. But you don't get a method to construct primes by this. A counterexample would be 2 · 3 · 5 · 7 · 11 · 13 + 1 = 30031. This is not a prime, since 30031 = 59 · 509. Indirect / non-constructive programming OTOH does not exist. Even the most abstract programming style must in the end construct something, produce something.

For CSS, you need to learn how selectors work, their specificity and inheritance, the box model (inline vs. block), flow layout, grid layouts, margin collapsing, flexboxes, math functions, ... For HTML, you need to learn the tags. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, maybe it was the way my lecturer explained CSS to us, or me being a pretty fast learner, I just didn’t find it that tricky to get a grasp on. The only thing I consistently have trouble with sometimes is positioning HTML elements with “position:”, and making the elements sit beside each other is also pretty confusing for me sometimes.

Hobbies are such a fantastic way to enrich our lives and discover new passions! They provide a much-needed escape from our daily routines and help us develop new skills. Whether it's painting, hiking, reading, or playing an instrument, having a hobby can bring immense joy and satisfaction. Personally, I've found great pleasure in photography, capturing moments that tell a story.

Given a Turing machine T and an input ω, can we find out if T with input ω will stop execution at some point or continue forever? That's the halting problem, which is undecidable: we cannot construct a Turing machine that takes an encoded T, ω as input and determines if T will halt. It's even undecidable if we restrict ω to the blank tape. OK, if we had a machine, that could process infinite steps in a finite amount of time it would be different ... 🙃 PS: Was this a test question? You can look this stuff up literally everywhere.

Lorrik Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Quote I love writing short stories or poems, but atm I'm going through a very bad writer's block (head empty on anything creative and it has been driving me insane), reading and in hindsight collecting books, listening to music (don't think I could live without it), watching anything interesting on YT/the occasional show, playing D&D, board games, and traveling/going to completely new places; like for example to Spain in tour minibus spain, for me it was cool journey after all though granted I don't get to do much of that at all. That is kinda cool. I can say that travelling is also my top choice. Aside from gaming and of course doing something in YT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
