hello NSA
So many deliveries today
textbooks arrived, they came back and delivered my computer
spicy
Have no time to set it up
so weekend regardless
You reccon python 2.7 will run on my tiny school laptop?
See, should have got a Mac
No setup required
yes
no need to plug stuff in with a mac Kappa
No need to really use it at all
macs are the rich person art tbh
litter your house with them, and never touch them
it decreases their artistic value
python runs on a raspberry pi 1
Man, my one course uses a graduate level textbook because all other books are not up to date Kappa
That should be fun
which?
planets
Hold on, what grad couse has a textbook
Since new shit is discovered often
It is written for grad students
not saying grad courses use it
you are learning the newest stuff?
weird, but I've got no experience with Physics grads so maybe that's normal
it is like, 4-5 months out of date
but yeah, mostly
there is no way the textbook you are using has the newest stuff about Neptune
Prob not
this is just the newest usable book
raining diamonds is a pretty cool thing
do you reccon I can teach myself all the syntax and fundementals of python by thursday Kappa
Have a lab where I have to code
if you already knew how to program
Out of 100 people in my class, I am one of 5 who does not
python is very easy
I have a textbook that goes through a lot of shit
already
It takes 2 weeks to learn Python to a proficent level if you commit yourself
i taught myself in less than a week
and then mastered through use
Okay, I need much less that a proficent level
so I prob will be fine with about, eh, 5 hours max I can use to learn it
If you have any coding experience, after 2 days I think you'll get it
I have zero coding experience
the first 5 parts of the tutorial should teach you more than you need
Coding is one of a few fields which I had no interest in, and thus know nothing about
Despite going to the top CS school in Canada
if A:
do_something()
else:
do_something_else()intuitively what does this do
Obviously it does something if A is the case, if not it does something else
I get that
Just when it comes to writting code, I am at a disadvantage and will need to work at it
i taight myself coding with TI basic Kappa
no typing there
or very little
I prob would do better if I literally started from the basis of why coding works and worked up to coding
Don't do that
just accept it works
No time to do that
and a bad thing to tell a Mathmatical Physicist Kappa
yeah, computer architecture is way too low level for a non micro engineer
i know it and its fun, but you definitely don't need that
What if he want's to become a redstone wizard though?
I literally just need to know enough to do math calculations, run models, ext
well thats everything
coding isn't that complicated
I'm suprised thay're having you use Python if that's the end goal
aren't you using Mathematica for some stuff? thats a coding language
just python
no you were posting mathematica plots earlier
That was some website sketching thing
