wasn't planning on it. But this is super interesting

2018-08-21 13:21:40 UTC  

i have another word for it

2018-08-21 13:21:47 UTC  

Worry about compilers once you get to C and C++ and Java and stuff.

2018-08-21 13:21:50 UTC  

i always forget how much detail and complexity there is in all this stuff

2018-08-21 13:22:02 UTC  

well is javac really a compiler then

2018-08-21 13:22:08 UTC  

For now, just worry about understanding how to use basic programming stuff.

2018-08-21 13:22:37 UTC  

yeah javac is a compiler, but it outputs bytecode for the JVM and not an executable

2018-08-21 13:22:52 UTC  

starting with python means you don't have to worry about all of this compiler stuff and whatnot (unless you happen to be me and you overcomplicate things to the point of insanity just to get tiny speed increases but uhhhhhhhhh)

2018-08-21 13:22:53 UTC  

I will concentrate on learning my basics before trying anything weird

2018-08-21 13:23:06 UTC  

good idea

2018-08-21 13:23:24 UTC  

Yeah, just focus on mastering the basics for now.

2018-08-21 13:23:32 UTC  

But I find this discussion really interesting even if I don't understand all of it

2018-08-21 13:23:33 UTC  

Learn Python The Hard Way is pretty good for that.

2018-08-21 13:23:45 UTC  

windows has the same deal as java though with python doesn't it you need python to run pyc

2018-08-21 13:24:07 UTC  

And if you don't understand, just come here and one of us ought to be able to help you.

2018-08-21 13:24:07 UTC  

you can bytecode compile python, yeah, but usually it does it automatically for you

2018-08-21 13:24:51 UTC  

Thank you everyone for all the help and putting up with my incessant questions

2018-08-21 13:24:59 UTC  

No prob.

2018-08-21 13:25:25 UTC  

tis okay

2018-08-21 13:25:37 UTC  

But it is quite late where I am and I probably need to get to bed

2018-08-21 13:26:06 UTC  

Have a good night/day!

2018-08-21 13:26:13 UTC  

see ya

2018-08-21 13:26:16 UTC  

Alright, have a good one.

2018-08-21 13:26:16 UTC  

oh holy shit

2018-08-21 13:26:53 UTC  

whenever I mouse over the Discord text box, i swear to god for a split second my moues cursor expands to like 3x its normal size and has a bunch of black lines going through it

2018-08-21 13:27:26 UTC  

though actually considering chromium renders everything with opengl that kind of makes sense

2018-08-21 13:27:28 UTC  

you smokin crack

2018-08-21 13:27:31 UTC  

ive never seen that

2018-08-21 13:27:39 UTC  

neither have I, until now

2018-08-21 13:27:45 UTC  

i've had that happen but it was everywhere cause of windows being shit

2018-08-21 13:27:51 UTC  

probably some weird-ass rendering glitch

2018-08-21 13:28:03 UTC  

im currently on a mac and It Just Works (tm)

2018-08-21 13:28:20 UTC  

it just works until it doesn't

2018-08-21 13:28:36 UTC  

actually i'm kinda okay with macs

2018-08-21 13:28:43 UTC  

i don't personally own one

2018-08-21 13:28:52 UTC  

but I like the idea of not having software issues all the time

2018-08-21 13:28:58 UTC  

and I mean all the fucking time

2018-08-21 13:29:07 UTC  

but you lose control

2018-08-21 13:29:13 UTC  

OS/2 for life boiis!

2018-08-21 13:29:14 UTC  

and pay an extra $1000 for nothing

2018-08-21 13:29:26 UTC  

yeah, that's the problem
