Anyone have a raspberry pi?

[[drunk] 2021 Giant Stance]

I just ordered the cool CPU case for it and the ice tower cooler and the pi 4 b. Going to just use it for pi hole but I thought it was super cool so I figured why not.

It's going to be fun learning how to get it working and stuff.

Never really did any programming before but seems easy enough to do stuff.

... back to the OP post/question:

Bought Raspi400 = the 'keyboard pi' edition, earlier this year.

Best 100 bucks I ever spent!

Watching movies and video streams (Netflix, Amazon, Twitch ...) while using less than 10 Watts, instead running it on a PC or a console, which draws 100 Watt, if you are lucky.

Bought a 2nd SD-card and installed "RetroPi" for all my S/NES, GBA, NDS, PPSSPP and DoxBOX needs.

My carbon footprint is now next to invisible and my power bill costs me now less than my Internet subscription.

Does anyone know how to setup a seedbox for soulseek? What pi would I need? Right now I'm using my netbook with the CPU throttled down to 80% max or whatever in settings (now the fan is silent lol) but I want to go even farther.

Picking up the basics of programming isn't hard and is generally taught in schools these days. It takes many years to master even as an individual. I went to university after several years of programming (mostly C++) and it was there when it became stressful. Applying it professionally demands a full understanding of computer mathematics, teamwork and an instinctive understanding of design and communication.

Depends on the application field. Computer "mathematics" is rather general and vague. Most of the mathematics is predicate, prepositional, and set-theory mathematical proofs and maybe some mathematical induction for function proofs.

Programming in itself "is rather general and vague". All of which requires a full understanding of the mathematics involved at a professional level, which would obviously include all of the mathematical concepts..

Taking years to master not necessarily you can speed up that mastering by working on your own projects.

I've never known anyone to master programming in under a year.

The hard part of programming is the actual system analysis and design methods.

Individuals will stumble on a number of obstacles. Learning the design methods is usually covered at the beginning for anyone taking it to a professional level.

However one thing that should be noted is depending on the languages abstraction capability can make a language harder to learn, for example Python is more or less easy with fairly forgiving syntax, Java, C++, C# are very unforgiving of mistakes, they also offer deeper levels of abstraction such as abstract classes, interfaces, multiple inheritance, and true polymorphism and encapsulation.

All of this is covered in any object oriented book. In my opinion the only one worth talking about is C++, which is why I'd recommend it when learning about data and memory management. All the others you mention rely on garbage collectors which omits certain fundamental concepts that I believe to be required when learning the ropes. If we're talking about throwing people into the deep end.

Ah one of those programmers who limits their options by focusing on a single language, very limiting. I learn any language a feel like learning if you really want to know the backbone of most langauges just learn C. Knowing multiple languages both programming and scripting as well as web because it will allow you to solve many more problems than a single langauge can solve.

Most of the langauges including c++ share common characteristics. c++ itself relies heavily on pointers to make code efficient because you cannot do object passing in c++ instead often pass reference to object calls instead to reduce both memory and cpu footprint.

I do not hate any langauge. Even markup.HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ruby, C#, C++, Kotlin, C, ASM. Dont care I just learn it. Every language is dependent on every other langauge Ive even been learning Ada (Used in Aircraft Avionics and other critical systems that are life death conditions)

Well, have fun with Wikipedia.

More like a bunch of oreily media textbooks. The Python book alone is a doorstop. Then the other books like Server+, Linux+, PenTest+ etc.

I also did not discourage the OP for touching Linux they just need to be aware that it requires time investment and work, and if you don't like those two words Linux isn't for you.

lol, this is perfect

lowered CPU temp from 46c to 32c with the ice tower cooler :)
