I'm pretty handy with computers and can copy paste code and have worked as a website builder and graphic designer for 15 years but I'm tired of relying on coders and not really knowing what they are doing. I hear python is a good place to start?

Yeah, fair enough. Honestly, I think that if you know any one programming language really well, then learning another language won't be that hard for you. After all, wasn't that the same experience all of us had? None of us started with bytecode or assembly, but somehow we still ended up learning the important, cross-transferable computer science foundations of these languages anyhow, right?
So yeah, I don't think it's super important which language you start with. If you know one language deeply, you basically know them all. It's not that big of a big deal. If you know everything there is to know about python, then nobody can honestly say that you suck at programming or lack CS knowledge. It's just that I think some languages are better at instilling a "this is how computers work" sense of intuition and knowledge than others. Python is easy, it's fun, I love it. I use it all the time. But I'm glad it wasn't my first language. I feel like Python itself would have been a bit harder to understand if it was.

>I think some languages are better at instilling a "this is how computers work" sense of intuition and knowledge than others
I absolutely agree with you. this is why I'm not sure how treat certain categories of programmers that do not seem to care about this. I would argue that all industry programmers should very deeply care about how their code interacts with the hardware, and even whether their code wastes time and space with a garbage collector, because ultimately wasteful code is such an enormous waste of money but even worse, even worse, it's an enormous drain on our economy and our ecosystem. I would argue that all of these retard TypeScript developers have done more environmental harm than cars and cryptocurrencies combined.

>>106489455
Hmm... now that I think about it, the more I think maybe "just pick a language, any language" is the way to go when it comes to programming.
Even take something as abstract and high level as Python, for example. Let's say that Python is all you know about programming. Well... then you know that Python will still complain when you try to say "1" == 1, right? So, if you use Python all the time for everything, eventually you will become familiar with the concept of data 'types', and how different types aren't simply arbitrarily equivalent with one another. Like... there's 'numbers'. and 'words'. And 'objects'. And these are all treated differently. Like... that's just basic logic, right?
So then say you get even deeper into it. What's the difference between a 'list' and a 'set'? Why does Python have 'dictionaries' and why would they be used over something else?
You can use all of this to work backwards from some of the abstractions that Python provides. And from there, you can become a good, well rounded programmer.
>>
>>106489545
But on the other hand, there are 'vibe coder' types who don't care about any of this, and will just copy and paste and proooompt whatever BS they need to get something that appears like it works. That is what needs to be discouraged. Such people are not exercising or building their knowledge of computer science in any way
>>
>>106489545
this is essentially how assembly programmers learned to want to have something like C (or even B before that, and whatever came before B but after the invention of assembly language). working with a processor directly is essentially typeless programming. all you have is registers of a certain size. on some machines, there is even only one size of register. there are no float types or string string or complex numerical types or anything aside from a thing that holds a sequence of bits. there certainly are no structs or classes or newtypes or subtypes or lifetimes.

anecdotally, I also started programming with PHP and Perl. the starting point doesn't matter so long as you're willing to branch out and ask questions. I think the real struggle we're facing as an industry, as a society, is that most industry programmers are uninterested in honing their craft and asking questions. just trying to get a pay check and go home. I don't think picking the right language will change the outcome here.

What's the deal with monitor prices? Why do some monitors have the exact same specs, but are hundreds of dollars different in price?

Is there some sort of catch with the cheaper ones where some obscure component sucks balls or something?

I'm not looking to migrate right now but I know that ruTorrent also has its limits and I feel like I'm slowly getting closer to that. Besides performance, I prefer qBittorrent's API over the XMLRPC shit that rTorrent uses. I also prefer to use a client that's in active development and even though rTorrent seems to be in active development again, I don't know for how long that will be the case. Basically the only alternative to r(u)Torrent that fits all my needs is qBittorrent (unless things have changes in recent years, I don't keep up with news about every torrent client out there) and the only thing I am worried about is moving everything over just to find out that qBittorrent's web-ui is also unusable with my amount of torrents.

Why does Radeon make Nvidia's cheerleaders gloat?
I don't really get it. It isn't like AMD fans dissing Intel. Radeon was never a top dog getting its comeuppance nor had it ever abused monopoly position nor bribed vendors to maintain its position when behind. I would like to know what they get out of it, they paid the same anyway. Radeons existence has nothing to do with you if you're a windows faggot.

Nvidia is a thirdie brand. AMD is only really cheap in the US and Germany iirc.
