Magnets. (How do they work?)
I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.
Bliss.
Discord is where information goes to die.
Please just stick things on a website. I’m happy to help you set one up.
OMG! I still have my DataLink watch somewhere. I remember thinking it was amazing and showing off all the phone numbers I’d programmed into it.
Will your code work with any flashing LED? Or does it need special hardware?
I think you’ve answered your own question - be less meticulous. Oh, and memorise less.
A good programmer knows where their knowledge boundaries are. For example, if you’re working in JavaScript, you probably don’t need to know bit-shifting.
A good programmer doesn’t know every feature; they know where to go to find that information. They know how to read the manual of an unfamiliar feature.
The most important thing you can do is do practical work. Build a website. Try new things. Look up how to implement something and then do it yourself. Find a project that interests you - like building your own website - that’ll stave off the fatigue.
You don’t need to memorise how to implement a linked-list - you need experience in building.
Good luck.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cracked black pepper. Then either shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano or nutritional yeast.
Basically, all the savoury flavours at once - and not as boring as plain salt.
What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
Oooof! Yeah, I don’t think I could cope with that.
Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.
Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?
I loved teaching Scratch. And I’ve written about DRAKON - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/04/why-arent-there-more-visual-programming-languages-an-ode-to-drakon/
I think they’re useful for building algorithms. But the tools themselves aren’t powerful enough for anything too complicated. I hope that changes though!
Yes, there are magnetic USB cables which do data. Here’s my review of one https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/gadget-review-subbytech-magnetic-charge-sync-cables/
