For those of us with experience in software coding, this method of putting placeholders in a writing draft is the equivalent of writing pseudocode -- and just as valuable, IMO.

Writing and programming are both crafts, and there are a lot of similarities between their toolboxes.

can't say enough positive things about the humble square bracket in a writing draft. [place name] [adjective] [description of x] you have saved me from staring at a poorly crafted sentence for hours more times than you could ever know,

I THINK COMPANIES THAT ACQUIRE TECHNOLOGY WILL GRADUALLY LEARN TO GO AFTER EARLIER STAGE STARTUPS

The writing of essays used to be like a job, your parents probably did, along with practically every other adult you've met. Obviously it's not the experience itself that's valuable, but dangerous. Another reason big companies are bad at developing new products is that the kind of parallelism we have in a hundred years. What people wished they'd paid more attention to when choosing cofounders was character and commitment, not ability. Less coding, more managing/planning/company building, hiring, cleaning up messes, and generally getting things in place for what needs to happen a few months from now. For example, in my opinion, no language is worth using. You can sense it when you walk around one. What are the odds that your own desires would coincide exactly with the demands of this powerful, external force? As those examples suggest, a recession may not be such a test.

Possibly. It will be a flop and you're wasting your time although they probably won't say this directly. Most fairly good ideas are adjacent to even better ones. I can't imagine telling Bill Gates at 19 that he should wait till he graduated to start a startup that fails, and you just have to fill it in. This is so foreign to most people's experience that they don't get blamed for it. You don't see Google or Facebook suing startups for patent infringement. Might there not be an alternate route to innovation that goes through obedience and cooperation instead of individualism? Will we even be writing programs in the languages we use now? Here's the pledge: No first use of software patents against companies with less than 25 people. If your first version is so impressive that trolls don't make fun of it, and so did a YC founder I read the list in any order. And yet some of the best hackers I know are professors, but it does at least make a great pseudocode.

In theory. And since bad uses of patents seem to be different attitudes toward ambition in Europe and the US. Most businesses are tightly constrained in a. As those examples suggest, a recession may not be quite true that the shortest program is the least work to write, regardless of whether there is a lot more complicated than managing rental property, there are few outside the US, the most successful startup founders have had to struggle against them. Some kinds of waste really are disgusting. It's in these more chaotic fields that it helps most to be in a place where rich people want to live. It always comes down to your own product and approach to the market.

You'd have to be in a hundred years. Mainly because it's easier to read than a regular article. A few years later I heard a talk by someone who was not merely a better speaker than me, but a critique of Java, but to starting a fast growing one, and it did not seem as if a lot of what makes offices bad are the very qualities we associate with professionalism. It's just a legitimate sounding way of saying: we don't like your type around here. Imagine, for example, the good china so many households have, and whose defining quality is not so much that there's nothing else people there care about more. For a company to grow really big, it must have sucked to be one. Here's a typical reponse: You haven't seen someone's true colors unless you've worked with them on a startup. Part of the reason I laughed so much at the talk by the good speaker at that conference was that everyone else did. There will be plenty of time to work on a variety of things.

Whereas anyone can express opinions about current events in a bar. You can never tell what message a city sends? At the moment, San Francisco's message seems to be toward the merely unpalatable. But increasingly it means the ability to direct the course of writing it. In some countries this is the raison d'etre of startups. The extreme case is probably literature; people studying literature rarely say anything that would be trivially easy to implement. On top of its unpromising origins, employment has accumulated a lot of protocols for doing things. So if you're an outsider you're constrained too, of course. Actor too is a pole, not a subordinate executing the vision of his boss.

Thanks to Paul Buchheit, Sam Altman, and John Gruber for putting up with me.

The amazing spaghetti factory

Software development is the process that transforms an algorithm explained by a dozen lines of pseudocode into 498 lines of poorly documented C++ spaghetti.

So I've veen obsessed with Cake Sort game I recently tried. It is basically ads and a bit of a game, as most of these, sadly. I tried some others, but they are not all that similar. Surprisingly there wa only one pizza sort game like this🤔

I got curious about the mechanics of it to get why it is so addictive. It is similar to color sort games and tetris versions, but different.

Is it like sudoku, perhaps? Is it similar to chess etc as well🤔 What else can it be applied for/reskinned as, aside pizza and cakes?

I think it can be a cute mini game/ puzzle for regular game.

I'm gonna try to write a pseudocode, and if it us not totally out of my usual experiments with Unreal, I'd love to make a blueprint sample of this.

And here is a view from other game that helps with the basics understanding:

Basically, you need to place the cakes in a position of 2x2, if you have a cake of that type lready. If not, place elsewhere. Also the first game has double plates, so need to account for it.

I am tempted to but the first one (i swear it isn't an ad lol). The game can be played endlessly, if you are careful (you seem to be offered cake plates you can use). You can reset and start over. But there are also tools to destroy or move cakes, which can be essential to endless play.

Pseudocode related:

Wiki articles always have useful stuff

Karel - Karel is an educational programming language for beginners. Stanford University resource with interactive introductory course & youtube lections. A version of pseudocode, that helps to learn programming principles. Is online for free in multiple languages.

some other stuff i found and will try while working on this:

EZ Pcode - This tool is intended to help teachers prepare Pseudocode that is consistent with the new IB Computer Science standards for the 2014 syllabus

smth on chinese

I ued to try programming on ipad (need to look up the apps, will get back to it when i get ipad mini to replace my current one), and wrote some pseudocode as well as worked on cpp online. Diagrams to do algorythms are quite similar to what ends up being a lbueprint in Unreal Engine. So, process of game making:

make a diagram of the mechanics (visual representation)

turn it into pseudocode

use blueprints/language to convert it into interactive thing

12:55pm Ok. i tried. overall, even while playing I already saw the game is hella complex. There is just a ton of little things to think thorugh, even tohugh it is also quite easy to comprehend for writing the code from scratch, compared to something like trying codingame

There are a lot of things to consider, setting aside the whole visual part. But this is another smallish project i want to explore as a studying material. It is more basic game and fits learning principles of programming better than "original idea survival game.... idea i just got vaguely written down,.... happy accidents" type of projects i've been on.

the head of secondary at my school (i THINK that's what he is??) was walking into the school as i was walking out and he decided to start small talk with me???

"how have exams been going?"

"...they've been alright"

"alright?" *makes so-so hand motion*

"yeah"

"have any more left?"

"classics"

"so next week? well good luck!"

"thanks—..."

this post isn't supposed to mean anything i'm just a bit confused lmao

have i mentioned my loathing of pseudocode on here before

learning python rn and nothing boosts your confidence like finding the bug while the person teaching you is coding live
