Where does C++ fit into all this?

2017-09-02 03:43:12 UTC  

I don't personally use it.

2017-09-02 03:43:34 UTC  

@Deleted User Do you understand the concept of low- and high-level languages?

2017-09-02 03:53:13 UTC  

Maybe? What is Haskell? High or low? Is Assembly a language or...?

2017-09-02 03:56:01 UTC  

Assembly is a language

2017-09-02 03:56:06 UTC  

it's as low-level as you can get

2017-09-02 03:56:20 UTC  

So basically everything boils down to processor instructions

2017-09-02 03:56:48 UTC  

The closer you are to writing processor instructions, the more "low-level" you are

2017-09-02 03:57:14 UTC  

Basic or Qbasic?

2017-09-02 03:57:15 UTC  

so a language like Python is very high-level. You're far away from dealing in processor instructions. You don't have to manage memory

2017-09-02 03:57:29 UTC  

basic is lower-level than something like C# or Python

2017-09-02 03:57:41 UTC  

but in its time it was pretty high-level

2017-09-02 03:57:41 UTC  

that feels right re Basic...

2017-09-02 03:57:53 UTC  

and C?

2017-09-02 03:58:25 UTC  

much lower level than most languages

2017-09-02 03:58:32 UTC  

you have to manage memory in C

2017-09-02 03:58:58 UTC  

Why do you think Linus Torvalds chooses C with all it's faults vs C++ or some other language?

2017-09-02 03:59:11 UTC  

The tradeoff is that C is very fast and can run in a great number of environments

2017-09-02 03:59:17 UTC  

Nothing wrong with C, really

2017-09-02 03:59:21 UTC  

just tradeoffs

2017-09-02 04:00:18 UTC  

Have you ever used rundeck or something like docker?

2017-09-02 04:00:44 UTC  

I've messed around with Docker, but haven't yet found the opportunity to use it in practice

2017-09-02 04:00:52 UTC  

it's a very cool concept. do you have any basic questions about it?

2017-09-02 04:02:31 UTC  

@Deleted User: Thanks for posting this. Using CoinBase, I might have contributed to the legal fund of certain Alt-Right defendant(s) -none of whom are convicted of anything! Mysteriously, I got a message from Uber that I was not supposed to use thier services for anti-Dieversity efforts. And then I got a message from Coinbase that I was being suspended, with zero reason given. For a process that is supposed to be untraceable and confidential, and LEGAL, I was astounded how our civil rights are erroded by the coorporate oligarchs that effectively rule ZOG.

2017-09-02 04:02:59 UTC  

No tbh my main curiosity is what people outside my normal sphere are using and how. I find it useful to see these utilities from a different perspective and how I can go about things differently.

2017-09-02 04:03:19 UTC  

@CharlesLaurence -CA they specifically said "anti-diversity"?

2017-09-02 04:03:52 UTC  

I forget exactly, but essentially YES.

2017-09-02 04:04:12 UTC  

@Placidseven - MO That's one of the best ways to learn once you're actively developing. How about you? What do you use and how do you approach problem-solving?

2017-09-02 04:04:20 UTC  

@CharlesLaurence -CA good grief. insanity.

2017-09-02 04:04:37 UTC  

I told them the only persons who are getting discriminated agains are Christian Bakers. It went to a dead-link email

2017-09-02 04:04:48 UTC  

@CharlesLaurence -CA out of curiosity, why did you choose to use coinbase instead of managing your own wallet?

2017-09-02 04:04:52 UTC  

of courrrrrrse

2017-09-02 04:08:43 UTC  

It was my first time buying bitcoin, and everywhere I looked it said I needed a wallet.

2017-09-02 04:09:17 UTC  

I have several books on Bitcoin and blockchain. Would you be interested in them?

2017-09-02 04:09:25 UTC  

One is a "getting started" book

2017-09-02 04:10:44 UTC  

Currently I use mostly php and python w/ sql db. We have a rather large portal web app with redundant servers and sql databases. The portal also uses JavaScript which I haven't delve into yet.
I am developing tools for the web app. I am currently teaching myself node.js in favor of it's multitasking ability and mongodb for its ability to create data structure on the fly. Which will work nicely once I start working on the api.

2017-09-02 04:11:35 UTC  

Would you like a NodeJS book that was immensely useful for me when I was learning?

2017-09-02 04:11:57 UTC  

Yeah what's it called?

2017-09-02 04:12:15 UTC  

NodeJS the right way

2017-09-02 04:12:29 UTC  

thanks I'll check it out

2017-09-02 04:12:44 UTC  

I will mail it to you. PM incoming
