Im at 42US (were about a year old and still growing) and I love the program. Im a year in, and am very happy with how well I can code. I have about 2 more years until I finish and Im excited to see what Ill be able to do then. But, you have to be very drive. I put in 8+ hours a day usually seven days a week. Lately ive been taking off on Sundays. But the quality of how the curriculum is setup is great. Its entirely hands on. You just come in, sign up for projects, get a pdf that gives you an idea of whats expected, and you figure it out. No teachers, no lectures, but your peers expect your best, and no one will think twice about failing you if your project isnt up to snuff, so you fail alot and keep on trying until its perfect. You'll write for your first year in C mostly, and you'll do projects like rewriting printf, ls, making your own wireframe, rewriting wolf3d, corewar, creating your own robust shell, and this is all done with your own personal c library. You cant use libraries for your projects, pretty much everything is off-limits. You will be able to use write() and malloc, and thats about it. So its very challenging but hella fun. Try the piscine the trial period to get in, and it will give you a great taste of what its like.

Good luck if you go!

I am a C/C++ programmer, and am now learning JS, react-native and PHP. Its all the same shit. Fuck that snobby cunt.

Check out asdf-vm on github for version management of languages. :)
Super great.

Learn how to use vectors properly, the algo library, and brush up on your basic c knowledge imo. I agree that you should do a project with c++. I have a project called fillit that I do in every language I learn. Its a tetramino compressor. Https://github.com/dauie/fillit

This looks soo cool! Doing research meow!

Yeah, my school gets blocked all the time. Just send them an email with as much info as you can and it will be released in a couple hours to a day.

I think intellij is not overhyped. It just comes stocked. Having used vsc a lot as well, i prefer intellij IDEs.

If your on mac change their ls command in thier rc to "ls=say ''i cant lock my desktop"

I enjoyed Manjaro, hope you do too! I cant recall why I moved away from it. I think it was the multiple package managers that turned me off.

Google Music all day.

I hate when this is said to me but, after a moment I know it to be true: When you feel depressed or down take a step back and observe yourself. Understand how and why you feel the way you do, then take a step forward with that clarity and try and rectify it.

Im sure you know this, but use fsanitize=address, look at the call stack that it returns, and check the loops in the function at the top of the stack for an off-by-one error.

Just put a vim emulator in your jetBrains IDE and everyone can live happy.

AMD gave my school a Ryzen processor for us to do a simulation of the Janas model. It was able to do 100 gflops (replaced 100 macs doing parallel computing) If you can afford one, i think its exceptional.

Here's a video.

You are what the kids call a 'G', sir :)

I personally would look at the MSI gaming line. They are affordable a d have decent specs for the price!

Awh :D I feel better meow. Thanks guys <3

88 is such a weird number for them to all default to. You'd think it would be an overflow value. Does 88 have any significance?

I got ++'s from her too. Thought i was special...

Check Kubuntu out. Its Ubuntu but with a different desktop env called KDE Plasma. It looks great, and runs well.

-Wall -Werror -Wextra all day.

I highly recommend using any of the jetBrains suite. I use cLion and webSotrm regularly and it helps productivity immensely. I use them with a vim emulator to key it familiar. But jetBrains software is jam packed with nifty tools you wouldn't expect by default.

Check out 42.us.org :D

I always use branches when working with a group. Then before doing a pull request into master Ill merge master into my development branch, resolve any conflicts, then be able to have a clean pull request.

Z Launcher is also really cool. Minimalistic and gets you straight to the app your looking for by writing the first couple of letters in the application name.
