Your experience was likely less miserable.

Start by separating the files by namespace and class. Then, by method. Delete the first method, then the next, and so on. Then rewrite the code by hand as God intended.

Aww, you shouldn’t have

How is “do whatever you want” a controversial opinion? Personally, if I thought divorce was likely, I wouldn’t get married in the first place. But you do you.

At its heart, marriage is a public declaration of indefinite love and support for another person. That’s it.

Make that declaration if you want to. Make it with a ceremony and celebration if you want. Or don’t. Whatever works for you and your partner.

No problem! I love chatting about this stuff, questions are always welcome!

Not sure what online retailers are available or what you have access to in Vemezuela, but something like this starter kit would be ideal. But anything you can get your hands on can be fun.

In general, you need: * a microcontroller * a way to program it * hardware to control and usually some sort of input or sensor

Even if you can’t find a starter kit, finding a USB UART interface lets you hack into all sorts of devices (did that to reprogram a router a while back), as long as you’re handy with a soldering iron. And like another commenter said, hardware emulators would let you get started writing and running code if you can’t get hardware right away.

Hope it’s fun! Feel free to DM with questions if you’d like.

You’re looking for what’s called Embedded Programming, which is that low-level stuff where the software you create makes things happen in real life outside of just a computer screen. There are lots of hobby beginner kits that come with things like motors, lights, etc. That’s probably your best bet for actually getting some hands-on experience.

If you want something a little higher-level, go for something like a Raspberry Pi (a Single Board Computer or SBC). On these, you’ll have a full-fledged Linux kernel and operating system, but still have ways of interacting with hardware like lights and such. If you want to get lower level, try Arduino or something based on ESP32 (the key word here is microcontroller). On these, you’ll either use a smaller OS or go “bare-metal”. Though note that Raspberry Pi makes things at this level as well (their “Pico” line).

For making that connection between computer theory and programming, I recommend experimenting with microcontrollers. You can even do some projects in assembly and understand what all the key registers are doing. I started on PIC micros, which was a great beginner thing. Not sure if they’re still around.

If you want recommendations on a starter kit, let me know your budget and what country you’re in, and I can send some suggestions.

Not with that attitude you can’t.

Ah, the old rituals. I remember summoning the powers of the dark gods Napster and Limewire as part of the rites.

Though I am old enough to remember the more ancient cassette magics. Those required precise mixing rather than burning, and were much more archaic, sometimes involving transcribing messages from the very ether.

“38 degrees”

I was doing some work on a fence with my dad, and we needed to mitre a piece to fit a particular angle. When he said he thought it looked around 30 or 40 degrees, I responded with all the confidence in the world that it was exactly 38 degrees. He cut the piece and it fit perfectly. Now, whenever we’re discussing something and he doubts me, I reply with “38 degrees!”
