Ooooh ! Lovley. What language? Pyton? C? Java?..

Welcome to the fold! Be warned: coders tend to be a weird bunch of folks.
The most important lesson I ever learned as I was starting out in software engineering came from my Design Principles teacher, during my short stint at a community college. That was a class which was technically not associated with a specific programming language, though the same teacher also taught various programming classes in different languages. She also wrote her own textbook for that Design class, actually… I still have my prepublication copy of it somewhere, that she had handed out to the entire class for free that semester. To this day, I still have a great deal of respect for that teacher. But I digress.
The lesson I learned from her was this: Programming languages are just tools like any other. Tools come and go over the years. The skills that you learn which will last beyond whatever language you’re learning and using right now are going to be things like how to construct good logic and how to structure a meaningfully intuitive user interface. These are the things that you should focus on perfecting first and foremost, rather than the syntactical nuances of any given language. If you have a good design at the outset, everything else should fall into place much more easily.
What are your goals, exactly?

You are going to be short-handed on tools to do that if you stick to Python, though Python is great to get introduced to programming. C++ and C# are going to allow you to work with the most used game engines in the market, but if you’re just starting to learn, you’re pretty far away from getting to your goal anyway.
A sensible route to take would be making some scripts in Python, then small apps in C, then small apps in C++, then a very small game on Unity, Unreal or Godot. Completing each of these milestones means that you have (or should have) learned either technical capabilities or philosophy of design that you are going to need for a very large piece of software with intricate logic. The extra neat part is that, if you give it up at some step of the way, you have still learned useful stuff. If you need extra motivation for things that do not seem to be too related to your ultimate goal, conceptualize those scripts or small apps as prototypes of modules of your dream game.
Peraonaly a fan of Java. Its nice not to have to deal with pointers. But python is a lovley language especially if you are a beginner
Python or rust would be my suggestion
Minecraft and No Man’s Sky. (But then, I repeat myself.)
Also, to a lesser extent, Lemmy. That one is still more of a growing fixation, rather than a hyper-fixation.
Repeats are always welcome in my eyes atleast. Ive gotten refixated with ancient egypt atleast 5 times
At the moment my executive function seems to be on summer break, but prior to that I had been designing a bird feeder in Fusion360. I usually find CAD to be a great way to shut out the world.
Everyone needs breaks including executive functions 😉
Bicycles and playing bass. I also started collecting CDs a few years ago and that one is still going strong.
Any specific type of CD’s or any you can get your hands on?
Yeah mostly albums I already know and like. I got almost 100 CDs from a variety of genres.
🤙
I’m (binge-)watching Star Trek. It is my way to destress and to cope with uncertainty since I was a child. It’s the only constant in my life and as an autistic person I’m really gratefull for such. Normally I would just watch one episode after work just like I watched one episode after school when I was a child. It helps me to relax.
A specific series or all of it?
At the moment I’m watching TNG (The Next Generation), which is what was running on TV after school when I was a kid. Inbetween TNG episodes I watched SNW (Strange New Worlds) as well as DIS (Discovery). Before that I watched PIC (Picard) season 3 as recommended by a friend.
When I was a kid I loved TOS (The Original Series) most, later followed by VOY (Voyager). Nowadays my favourite is SNW. Most of the series I like(d) instantly. To DIS however I just came back after quitting at season 2 when watching the first time.
Still political economy. Geo(rge)ist economic theory, plus !anarchism@lemmy.ml is allowing me to expand my knowledge of Anarchist theory and see if the word properly applies to my way of thinking. I read a fascinating and enlightening article on how the foundation of Democracy is not the consent of the governed (many forms of authoritarianism can also be justified with consent), but rather the idea of the inalienability of rights, that government is properly conceived as an immediate agent of the people it governs, and not as a holder of rights permanently bestowed. That the people are the wellspring of authority to which it must constantly return to renew the delegation that makes it possible
I expressed it poorly here. The article was very good.
If you know where the article is i would love to read it
Hmm, I’m not sure about the proper way to link an article on Lemmy, given people from different instances will view it differently. Here’s the text I get when I click the link button and copy: Anarchists should rethink common vs private proper https://midwest.social/post/1391306
Merci beucoup!
I have been learning some leftist political theory. My current ideology is a form of communism though I like learning anarchist theory.
3d printing… I kinda want my own 3d printer

1600 - 1920 original text from the great minds of those times. Christiaan Huygens is my favorite.
What kind of texts? Like newtons principia? Tried to serch up christiaan Huygens… but diddent find anything. Could you enlighten me on him?
Letters, essays, books, what ever still exists from them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiaan_Huygens I find it unlikely that your search did not give any results.
I found the reson why. Im a dyslexic bastard who speelt the name so wrong that google lost its mind 😅
Haha!
The Russo-Ukrainian War. It’s really interesting! I found a social science scholar on YouTube that makes videos using academic knowledge to explain things, including politics and military interventions. I can’t stop watching videos.
Next on my list is learning how to sing with my terrible voice.
Edit: oh, and this song: https://youtu.be/s_nc1IVoMxc
I hyperfixated on the war for about two months when it started, but I was putting more and more of my energy into disputing Russia apologia in the communities I was active until it reached an unhealthy degree. It is an interesting topic, but unfortunately the context and the way I approached it kinda ruined it for me.
Who is it? The youtuber that is?
Here you go! The guy is great. Educating and entertaining at the same time.
Thank you!
I have two currently. I love painting miniatures, I work from home and will do it during my working day when I need a break.
My other fixation is a friend of mine who came back into my life recently. She’s amazing and knows what’s happening. I have a partner who is also amazing and understanding.
Awsome. Painting miniatured (from my little experience) was very fun. The slow and steady pace adding detail.
Also amazing that you have reconnected with your friend :)
Learning French. I bought some beginners books, I’m listening to French music on Spotify, and I’m trying to decide which TV show to watch to immerse myself in it a bit.
I don’t expect to become fluent, mostly I’m just tired of mispronouncing French words/phrases I find in text that is otherwise English. It seems like everyone else had a couple years of French in high school and I want to be at that level.
If you want some recommendations of fun tv-shows/films/books, don’t hesitate!
I absolutely would like recommendations!!
I don’t have any. I’m afraid to get another one because I can’t afford to buy all the stuff that’s usually involved. But I hate not having one.
As an adhder and autistic, my hyperfixation is to see people talk about their hyperfixations XD I read all the comments and clicked on all the links you guys posted here. That’s really cool!!😍
