#computer programming for kids

[permo2003]

I heard a theory that macaque disguised himself as wukong and this wukong was the one who met xianglu, I don't really believe in this theory but... imagining this happening is funny to me.

idk if it’s just me but the whole “which atla kid in the gaang is the most mature” debates can get redundant and kind of exhausting at times. they’re kids. they’re multifaceted characters. they’re mature in some departments and immature in others. they have their strengths and weaknesses. also they’re kids lol.

Gilbert? As in Mr. Gilbert, last name Gilbert? As in Freddie Gilbert??? (Or Freddie's father given the timing and age?)

Don't think I didn't notice how we got an unusually attentive description for such a seemingly minor character...

I got my very first scam voicemail today and I know I'm speaking from a place of privilege (grew up with rapidly advancing technology and thus am able to adapt quicker than older generations) but I do not get how people fall for those. first of all that is a robot speaking. second of all I have never made a 588€ purchase over paypal in my life. these facts lead me to conclude that someone is trying to scam me

i know that others have already commented on this but most of my high school interns are so helpless when it comes to technology that doesn't completely spoonfeed the experience that it is actually terrifying

im glad we’re finally talking about lack of technology literacy in younger people. everyone assumes we’ll automatically be good at it and have all the know-how because we grew up with it, and sure i might be more knowledgeable about it than say, someone 15 years older, but technology is changing and becoming more “turnkey” and a lot of the customization and workarounds just are not that accessible or obvious anymore. several tech companies boast that their new products are so simple and easy that a baby could do it, and users no longer have to figure out or understand anything behind the scenes because look, there’s a button right there you can press for this issue and if you’re still having problems you can just take it to a technician.

and im not saying this is inherently bad, it’s more accessible to people who don’t know anything about technology, but we are losing our computer skills because we don’t understand the tech and don’t see a need to. you buy a phone or a laptop and it’s perfectly usable fresh out the box and you don’t have to do anything to customize it because they’ve done it for you, which sucks especially considering they often don’t even want you to mess with the programming or software. customization is discouraged so they give you a handful of options they picked out and that’s that, and if your computer goes kaput then instead of learning how to fix it you can just throw it away and buy a new one! and while turnkey tech is a good option for a lot of people, we should still be encouraging know-how and teaching tech literacy in school as we become even more dependent on it. so many young people are struggling to work on computers and no one thinks to teach them because of the generation they’re in. it’s a major issue.

i gave a programmer my laptop and told him to code using command based and this is what i found when i opened wpilib

Tbh the strangest and most concerning thing about kids that I’ve observed get steadily worse is how these kids just…don’t know how to use a computer???

Like if you put a 12-15 year old kid and my 50 something year old mom next to each other and asked them to copy and paste using a computer, both would look at me like a deer in headlights!!

And yes I know some of this is because schools just don’t really have computer classes anymore (like I had ones that taught “proper” typing, Microsoft office programs like Word and PowerPoint, etc.) but like??? Every school I’ve been to so far has had computers for students so they’re all on devices all the time yet still don’t know how to use them.

Hell, they barely know how to type a URL in! Like! Huh! I’m genuinely concerned about them not knowing how to use a computer properly and how they use it so freely without proper thought and care as to what they put out into the world.

Ein gelungener Einstieg in Python ...

Python ist eine sehr einfach zu erlernende Programmiersprache und für den Einstieg in die Welt der Programmierung ideal geeignet. Trotz ihrer Einfachheit bietet diese Sprache auch die Möglichkeit, komplexe Programme für vielfältige Anwendungsgebiete zu schreiben. (MITP-Verlag)

do you have firealpaca se? it's on sale right now, should i get it for myself?

ooph i just use the free version of fire alpaca i didn't even register that there was a version that costs money😭 but iiim not quite sure I don't really hear about fire alpaca being The good art program that has a lot of useful features so I'd be careful and investigate other options i think idk maybe im on the wrong side of the road and there's hella fire alpaca praise but pffft all I'm saying is surely there's better art programs out there if you were to spend money on one 🤔
