Thanks Visual Studio + Chromium browser for making a nice warm section on the UNDERSIDE of my desk below my laptop.
A lot of computer science algorithms are just means to describe activities humans do naturally.
Sorting a list? Humans do it no problem; heck, in a vacuum one might adhere exactly to a quicksort + insertionsort hybrid (a speedy combo on many datasets) without even knowing it.
Bigger example: graph theory. The foundation of modern databases, neural networks, and gps routing came from the contemplation of the people of Königsberg. Euler just harnessed raw thought into a concrete set of rules and instructions that further our innate abilities.
Tragic news like half the ways people talk about magic in fiction could irl be applied to maths
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”.
Hi Tumblr, I’m back. I hope you’ve all been well.
This is BY NO MEANS an exhaustive list. In fact, there are MANY, MANY, MORE. I’m just trying to draw attention to the major contributions black people have made to the Computer Science / Programming community.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
- Lindsay Grace : Designing games with social impacts.
- Marsha Williams : First black woman to earn a PhD in Computer Science. She also lead many initiatives to increase black representation in STEM careers.
- Clennita Justice, Aggrey Jacobs, and Travis McPhail : Employees at Google improving Google Play Books and Google Maps.
- Katherine Johnson : Her work with NASA was critical in putting humans in space.
- Clarence Ellis : First black man to get a PhD in Computer Science. He pioneered Operational Transformation, early group collaboration software for plaintext documents.
- Dorothy Vaughan : Paved the way for African American females at NASA and in programming in general. TAUGHT HERSELF FORTRAN. BEFORE THE INTERNET WAS INVENTED. Imagine trying to learn a low-level programming language WITHOUT Stackoverflow or even ctrl + f.
In case anyone is curious I still haven’t organized that first react project. Ironically, of everything I’ve ever made it is currently the most popular, and it only took 4 hours to make. Heavy sigh.
It’s an honor and a privilege to be a part of codeblr
Hiya! I've compiled a list of some of the currently active Tumblr blogs that are dedicated to all things coding and programming - this includes frontend dev, backend dev, web dev, game dev, etc. These are blogs I also follow (I try to follow as many as I can) and I like what they post, and I just wanted to share it with more people!
I will keep updating this post whenever a new blogger pops up or if some blogs deactivate - some of my fav blogs deactivated which is super sad since I loved seeing their coding posts on my dashboard! Anyways, onto the blogs!

Again, if there are more out there, let me know so I can update the list! If you want your @ taken off the list, let me know too! Thank you and I hope more people follow these super cool blogs and enjoy their posts the way I have! 💻💗💗
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.
C is a shot of American Rye (100 proof, bottled-in-bond)
Python is a Ramos Gin Fizz
Javascript is a bone-dry, dirty, vodka martini
React a Cosmopolitan
Angular an Appletini
Express an Espressotini (yea I say that instead of “espresso martini” because I find it more fun this way)
C# is a Sazerac with equal parts cognac and whiskey, and the person making it will HAVE to tell you how “a lot of people say it’s the first cocktail, but that’s not really true”
if i were a drink i’d be cherry vanilla coke
Still waiting for the sword person x pikachu person collab
The blade is imbued with great power. I can feel it course through my hands as I unsheathe it. I do not know if I can sate its hunger. Read more on my blog.
he/himComplaining on Tumblr is a good alternative to punching my computer screen, right?
