2025-01-01 19:15:06 +0100 <EvanR> ways of
2025-01-01 19:15:03 +0100 <EvanR> there's ways to "doing oop right"
2025-01-01 19:15:02 +0100 <chris_on_linux> Way too much boilerplate in Java
2025-01-01 19:14:52 +0100 <chris_on_linux> OOP is very tiring for me at least
2025-01-01 19:14:43 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I have always liked programming, but now I have finally gotten the hang of it in Java
2025-01-01 19:14:22 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> i was 71 btw Sunday
2025-01-01 19:14:05 +0100 <monochrom> (You end up still needing random blogs from random people for Windows and Java too because you can't actually count on MS or Oracle to be forthcoming about undocumented but de facto features.)
2025-01-01 19:13:58 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> by the time ur 20 u'll be proficient
2025-01-01 19:13:44 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> ur 14 for chrissakes
2025-01-01 19:13:39 +0100 <EvanR> alternatively make text only programs, but a terminal interface library might be helpful there too
2025-01-01 19:13:30 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> just enjoy LYAH
2025-01-01 19:13:11 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I saw f(x) on the first page and got scared
2025-01-01 19:13:07 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> here's a second opinion on the gui: dont
2025-01-01 19:12:59 +0100 <monochrom> So of course for example linux docs are scatterd, windows docs are central. Oh wait.
2025-01-01 19:12:38 +0100 <monochrom> scattered doc is because scatter (community) effort. central doc is because central (corproate) effort.
2025-01-01 19:12:33 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I will right now
2025-01-01 19:12:28 +0100 <EvanR> make haskell visual
2025-01-01 19:12:08 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> give LYAH a try
2025-01-01 19:12:05 +0100 <EvanR> get a graphical library as soon as possible, like diagrams or gloss
2025-01-01 19:11:50 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I like the Haskell way of doing things, but I don't really get it
2025-01-01 19:11:34 +0100 <chris_on_linux> The most fun language I would say, if you know what you're doing
2025-01-01 19:11:20 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> java is corporate
2025-01-01 19:11:10 +0100gmg(~user@user/gehmehgeh) gehmehgeh
2025-01-01 19:10:55 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> hs is way more fun than java
2025-01-01 19:10:49 +0100 <chris_on_linux> It's scattered around many websites
2025-01-01 19:10:43 +0100 <chris_on_linux> You can't even find central documentation like Haskell
2025-01-01 19:10:28 +0100 <monochrom> Oh I tell people RTFM too. But I provide a specific link.
2025-01-01 19:10:20 +0100 <EvanR> lol
2025-01-01 19:10:14 +0100 <chris_on_linux> Not at all
2025-01-01 19:10:06 +0100 <EvanR> does java have an especially good manual?
2025-01-01 19:09:59 +0100 <monochrom> Lotus 1-2-3
2025-01-01 19:09:53 +0100 <chris_on_linux> The Java guys tell me RTFM and leave me hanging
2025-01-01 19:09:50 +0100 <EvanR> visicalc?
2025-01-01 19:09:42 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I must say, you guys have been the most helpful and supportive
2025-01-01 19:09:42 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> false they were supercalc
2025-01-01 19:09:33 +0100 <EvanR> right justified!
2025-01-01 19:09:14 +0100 <EvanR> I was just at the met gallery in new york where they explained how to read egyptian. It was cool. There were also some papyrus excel spreadsheets still intact
2025-01-01 19:09:03 +0100gmg(~user@user/gehmehgeh) (Quit: Leaving)
2025-01-01 19:08:38 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> it's over 30 yo
2025-01-01 19:08:29 +0100 <chris_on_linux> For now, they look like hieroglyphs to me
2025-01-01 19:08:13 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> hs will still be here when ur rdy
2025-01-01 19:08:12 +0100 <chris_on_linux> Yes
2025-01-01 19:07:57 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> iiuc u were born c. 2010

2025-01-01 19:07:33 +0100 <EvanR> where (x,y) would solve the equation
2025-01-01 19:07:27 +0100 <chris_on_linux> Maybe, but now it hurts to see
2025-01-01 19:07:18 +0100 <EvanR> y = ax + b where a and b are some constants defines an equation whose solution can be graphed in 2D
2025-01-01 19:07:11 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> well it can be something for the future?
2025-01-01 19:06:51 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I am NOT ready for this
2025-01-01 19:06:49 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> poincare called him the god
