and then maybe you have a version that doesn't take asses so it's just initWithButts: butts

basically objc method invocations own and if you don't think so you probably enjoy figuring out what the "false" in findInArray(arr, key, false); means

the method names are one of the best things about objc. i just think objc is a good language tbh. it has enough dynamism to be interesting/let you do interesting things but not so dynamic that every variable lookup references multiple hash tables

objc method names are loving great and if you dont like them you are a literal retard because they are explicit as gently caress and xcode does all of the autocomplete for you when you type them. i wish i had a reason to write it but i really dont have any app ideas/dont care enough.

id like to get away from ruby for a bit, at least considering its most of what i use in the day-to-day. the idea of doing some low level arduino type poo poo has always seemed neat but i never really knew what id do or make. all i know is that i loving hate frontend so much (not so much design as much as implementation) so i should probably run in the opposite direction.

gonna take a note out of the tef playbook and read the entirety of parse.y

buy a cheap lil guy from https://www.pololu.com . Make sure it has at least two motors+wheels and two light sensors. these can sense intensity or color or whatever you feel like.


you know have the ability to make an entire class of simple robots, used often in beginner thought experiments about emergent behavior! the typical way to do them is to make each wheel motor's speed be a linear combination of the values of the two sensors. a simple one is obv to make the right wheel's speed depend on the left sensor's value and vice versa: now you have a line following robot!


this crazy simple programming ends up with fun and cool looking lil botty-boos. and it's a good learning experience if you pick the right things to do with it:

-those sensors should be analog. now you gotta learn how to use the chips onboard adc.
-those motors need drivin'! you bought motor drivers but they still need to be pwm'd if you want anything beyond pure on/off functionality. now you get to play with your chips timer modules and waveform generation.
-you probably don't want to always be checking this bullshit so you want to only update things periodically. now you get to play with interrupts


meanwhile, you're learning the pain in dick+balls that is making interconnected systems in c. oh you want 'syntactic sugar' and 'automatic name mangling'? go suck a dick, lil plang bitch.

goes without saying that if you want to actually learn something then work in c, rather than the arduino ide. if you want to get something to work, by all means use arduino though

e: agh jesus those stupid lil robots have a drat name and i am forgetting them

writing some c or whatever aint a big deal. the lil mouse one seems cool cause then i can make the cats chase it. are there any micros that work well with nfc/bluetooth? maybe something i could do with that

arduino is C++ in disguise so u can have all of your bespoke name mangling and poo poo as long as avr-gcc or w/e can handle it

read a book on parsers or compilers in general first, so you at least know what they're supposed to look like

i moved my dumb little webservice to dropwizard today and it kinda owns. automatically includes the stuff i was going to add, and runs without a seperate servlet container. dunno if self-hosted jetty is as fast as tomcat but probably doesn't matter. worst part is the yaml though
