just get used to reading. the first proper book I read was 300 pages long but took me months to read. you just have to persevere. soon reading becomes piss easy. it's just a muscle. start with like 10 pages a day. look at some /lit/ charts, you might find something interesting, it's one of the best ways to find books in my experience (although some of it is dogshit).

all you need, just read then learn C and implement all the data structures you will be in the top 1%.
If you want something more relevant to modern computers read Media and Formal Cause by marshall mcluhan or some other media ecology stuff.

Understanding what a computer actually is, artifacts vs natural kinds, and the principles of order of artifacts are they key things to understand. Programming is not a unique thing in this and everything else can be derived through actual practice. Indirectly trying to understand these things through reading "specific foundational" compsci stuff that are not acutally foundational an any meaningful way is a trap.

There is some "skilled trade" esque books say for the specific things you are working with or trying to do say game engines or graphics programming or distributed data or compiler stuff but those are really just if you are actually doing them. All the mathematics stuff is largely a performative larp by people who think the universe runs on math. Read some of those if they come up but you probably don't need to read that many, there are no "deep" programming books because programming is not deep, it's a techne, a trade like plumbing. If you want to understand what underlies that you'll need to start with the greeks like any actual thoughtful person, ideally from the start but at least aristotle.

If you want to learn to program just do a bunch of programming, and read code/interact with good programmers.

Also maybe Donald Knuth's lectures on literate programming. I think understanding his approach is very valuable to avoid falling into false ideas about what programming actually is.

Hi y'all, I'm working on (cough VIBE CODING cough) a Chrome extension that lets ChatGPT or Claude or whatever act similar to your terminal. There are two main things that make it like your terminal

>you can cycle through previous prompts with the up arrow key
>tab autocompletions using previous prompts

So that right there are the two things that make it more like a terminal. I just started working on (cough VIBE CODING cough) this thing like 10 minutes ago. What other cool terminal-like features should I add?

Obviously there is a bunch of fraudsters working there that think, like many rustacians, that rust is a literal “magic bullet”. The CTO should be fired and sued, and any kind of auditing/accreditation/certification be revoked, along with those that certified them.
Cloudflare is not really a technical company, they’re more like google—an advertising and selling user data and spying/surveillance company that uses/steals technology like pakleds.

the only "benefit" is that you could separate the sections visually via brackets and indentation

I still know what an apple looks like even if I can't picture it in my head, if that makes sense

>How do you know if the generated image is what you wanted when you can't imagine what you want?
I can't imagine it (see it in my head), but I know what would look more or less correct.

E.g I know what a little Russian-jewish girl in a frilly bikini with a star of David necklace sitting on an American redneck's shoulders should look like even if i can't see a picture in my head, since I know what a girl sitting on someone's shoulders looks like, I know what a redneck looks like etc

It's more about bass extension and details than volume. You can listen quietly even with 8" speakers. Cheap full-range speakers (when there's only a woofer without a tweeter) are muddy. Those Edifiers aren't that small, actually. PreSonus in my example is just a few centimeters longer and thicker. iLoud Micro is even smaller than Edifiers in its footprint, but it's $300.

>>
>>107596408
After people would wrote everywhere even as monitor speakers they'd be fine I tried them but after 30 minutes I had to turn them off cause listening became unpleasant.
