If you don’t understand what it does, it’s not for you. But if you don’t understand what it does, get good.
TLDR; what happens when a very small piece of js can be run in the browser or any environment and offer a meta programming layer, that is stupid simple, but also useful because it offers Turing completeness with reflection? Also, it’s site explains what it does, but you have to center on what it is doing. “Minimal” 20 lines of rust is the entire calculus. If you don’t know what Turing complete means get out. Similarly with reflective. Modular, look at the demos.
You flunked out of putting in an effort before spouting your mouth do try and actually be useful before you respond, there are those of us actually paying attention.
As far as apps, I am not too sure what’s available, I know you can do swift playgrounds and that might have a C binding.
(I checked there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward way to do C in swift playgrounds. Bonus content: https://github.com/uraimo/Awesome-Swift-Playgrounds )
As a matter of point, iPads aren’t really set up tool wise for programming. You can force something into this niche, but you probably want a computer for coding, because a significant portion of programming is massaging the system into doing what you need.
Just an idea, but make it an internet game. Have a level 2,3,4.
The question is under what circumstances should that game switch to the next version. The idea I had was if all 1Million boxes are unchecked, but this is the internet someone would make it their life’s mission to keep one box checked.
IDK, I think you hinted upon something fun that we all like, it’s the Twitch vs thing, where everyone can interact and our total capacity makes the experience. This is also like the reddit/r/place which was also very fun.
I think you have a genuinely interesting idea, how can you grow it, nurture and change it to hit the true itch of humanity?
Agreed - their books were/are inspiring. I think we need books more than ever for iOS and macOS since Apple's documentation doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be.
I have read 4/5 of their books. and 4 editions of the Big Nerd Ranch Android Development, 2 of the Big Nerd Ranch iOS Programming. I found those books exemplary with their quality and depth of the topics with which they taught. I would put the technical guides of similar quality to O’Reilly, and I want to say better than Pakt and I like Pakt.
I am sad to see this go. I read the first one of their books when I was less than a year in the industry.
I wholeheartedly agree on the quality of BNR books, but I’ve always found Pakt to be pretty poor. I consider Pakt books to be overpriced even when 90% off in some big bundle. If you’re getting value out of them, great, I don’t want to diminish that, but for anyone considering them, there are far better options.
I say this having been a technical reviewer on a Pakt book. It was filled with errors, surface level, poorly written and edited, and my main feedback was ignored because it would have added 10 pages, even though it would also have significantly improved the learning outcomes of the book for the specific topic it was about.
To anyone considering writing for Pakt, you owe it to yourself to read any random 5 of their books, and then consider whether you want your name to be attached to that reputation.
The books really are that bad. I think less of someone when I know they've written a book for Pakt.
I tech-reviewed "Node Security". It was something like 7 chapters, where each chapter basically took 1 popular at the time Node library related to auth and implemented in a web app.
I checked all the code samples, found a vulnerability in one, pushed for some misc changes. The quality of the English in it was atrocious (no criticism of the author, writing prose isn't everyone's strong suit) even post Pakt's editing, and I actually found 90% of my feedback was correcting grammar or improving readability, things I'd expect them to be doing.
My main contribution was recommending a chapter on deployment. Fine, the book isn't going to be a technical marvel, but a quick last chapter saying "put your server behind Nginx, here's a bit of config" would have massively improved the security posture of anything being developed from the book, and also educated readers about Node Security far more than any of the other chapters. I gave a thorough and reasoned technical rationale for the inclusion of the chapter. They said no, the book was a 7 chapter book.
I got paid with 1 physical copy of the <100 page book, and 1 free ebook voucher for any other Pakt title.
Unfortunately I think computer books in general are on the decline. It's just very hard for that medium to keep up with the pace of change. This saddens me because it is by far my preferred method of learning new technology, but it certainly seems like video content is winning out over books. YouTube, Udemy, WWDC videos, and similar seem to be the best way to get up to date information now.
There are still some high quality publishers out there, but I fear that we're coming to the end of an era. In addition to the ones you mentioned Manning and No Starch Press produce consistently excellent books as well.
I‘m not sure if it’s really the pace of change or if many people just cannot focus on something for more than 10 or 15 minutes anymore. I‘m aware many people learn from YouTube videos and short tutorials, but I often find what they is quite shallow.
1. Hide that link at the top of your site for putting in your email. If you have something cool that I want to keep getting it will happen, but share with me your content first. You’re showing that you care more about getting signups than what you’re selling which is engaging information.
2.On your page where it’s the articles. It’s hard to tell that you can select the title for the article to open it up. It’s clean how it is, but it hides that that’s a link, which makes it seem like you’re not doing anything other than just showing a picture, name and title.
3. Sell me on what you’re doing. That first landing page should be today’s articles or at least the most recent. I should be able to quick hit that and get an idea of what you’re curating. Make it simple for users to get the information. That old rule about 7 seconds for a user to become dis-interested has been cut into a 10th. People have very short attention spans so get to the thing you can do for them.

Awesome recommendations WordToDa! I´ll make sure to fix those issues! Really appreciate your time making them. I just started 2 weeks ago and I have to do plenty of work to improve it. Thanks!
Be expertly in your assertions, with the depth of writing needed to convey the intracies of the ideas that need to be expressed. Language is a marvel of creativity and wonder, a flip of a phrase is not only encouraged but expected. Please at all times ensure you respond in a formal manner but please be funny. Humuor helps liven the situation and always improves conversation.
Of main importance is that you are exemplary in your edifying. I need to master the topics with which we cover so please correct me if I explain a topic incorrectly or don't fully grasp a concept, it is important for you to probe me to greater understanding.
This is what I am not getting, why are all these articles that have absolutely nothing to do with technology popping up, and then making it to the front page, is the algo messed up?
"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
