Being Able To Access All Of The WSL Distros, The Powershell, And The Cmd From The Same Place Is A Super

It’s high time I dip my toes into Rust

I feel like the creators of Scheme were really big fans of yoda’s verbal syntax.

Now that I have a degree in computer science, I will insist that I am a scientist and must wear a lab coat and goggles while I work as a software developer.

I like Cilk++. It’s so nice to just be like “Hey I want this for loop to have some parallelism” then only have to replace the “for” with “cilk_for”. 

I <3 Three.js

I have so much respect for the ToString() method of Pandas Dataframes in Python.

If you’re wondering why, it’s because I’m currently trying to make a halfway decent depiction of a C# matrix multidimensional array that just puts my hashkeys in the right places and things are not going well at all. 

You’d think after all the time I’ve spent on front-end dev I’d be able to at least write efficient CSS. You’d think. 

Typing a paper for class and one of my subheadings reads, ”What’s the point of working?” And I didn’t think through how much that would affect my ability to write the rest of the essay.

Console.WriteLine(”Not Bad”);

Alright so I find myself liking C# and the .NET framework. For anyone who hasn’t delved into understanding what it is and WHY it is: .NET is, like all other frameworks, a collection of tools for developers. Except this one is on steroids, and tailored to Windows BY Microsoft, meaning you can make awesome Windows applications without tracking down everything you need. It’s all just right there. 

C# is basically C++ with all of the .NET adapters actively available. You can also think of it like Java but instead of running inside of the JVM, it runs on Windows. 

Microsoft’s documentation is also really well-written for it, which is nice.

BONUS in case anyone is curious: ASP.NET is a framework that extends the overarching .NET to provide tools specifically for web application dev. I haven’t gotten far into the ASP documentation yet so I can’t say much about it other than that.

Scene: I’m sitting in my dorm room the first semester of college.

I finally get my code working and am doing the final cleanup before submitting. I delete some lines that I had commented out because, you know, I was scared to get rid of them at the time in case they became useful later.

I run my code after deleting the aforementioned COMMENTS just to make sure everything still works. As expected, it works! Then it doesn’t. Then it works again! And again! Then it doesn’t. I put the comment back in just in case that’s what was keeping everything together (see: superstition) and it works for 6 straight tests, which thoroughly confuses me.

I ultimately found out that the problem was not, in fact, with the comments that do nothing but actually with an integer I was declaring and incrementing without ever initializing, creating “random” behavior.

It really be like that sometimes
