She's the shadow minister for gambling so nice to see she's supporting her brief. *puts finger to ear* oh she's meant to be the minister for regulating it?

Cusack should definitely go on Chapo, he's got some good takes as well as being a Hollywood superfreak - feel like he could do a great hour just talking about MMA

Sorry luv, no food today for you. Our local councilor who gets £90k a year put the foodbank money on Sad Ken. But be happy my dear, the money went to a better place, William Hill. They were down 8% in profits to £1.9 billion last year you know. Now, get to bed and if we sleep until tomorrow there maybe something in the bins back of Tesco.

Disgusting failure on the past of the individual and nobody else: a single mum spending the food budget on the fifty video poker machines on the way to the shop. Sensible pragmatic networking: An MP betting the constituency foodbank money on the ponies.

Its pretty funny that centrists can go back and forth on any issue, but they'll always be eager to support any form of mass slaughter in the Middle East, provided the victim isn't Israel. Its the only stance they're ever consistent on.

Anyone interested in learning some basic python coding, an ad for this short course just popped up in reddit and despite it saying 12th April I was able to sign up for it just now. 6 week commitment commencing 22nd April, some online live tutor stuff too. https://codeinplace.stanford.edu/?rdt_cid=4992807449242220577

Thanks. Been learning it recently, have C/C++ hardcoded into my brain the last 20 years, so a new language syntax is hard to retain. 10 print "penus" 20 goto 10

The annoying thing about Python is the V2 / V3 dichotomy which is mostly just me whining that I learned Python in the 2.x era and now everything is in the 3.x era and so I keep getting ruined by the more consistent formatting because I am extremely inconsistent with my brackets.

Python is great for doing data science stuff as a lot of good tooling around it, if you can get around pandas/numpy etc you are golden. I don’t really program for a living anymore, I mostly draw pretty pictures and presentations, but in my spare time I dabble in JavaScript/Web stuff (Nuxt/Vue), contribute to a couple of golang things, and do some personal swift iOS stuff.

I did it a few years ago and thought it was a really well explained course with good support. I'm sure it's improved since. I'm currently working through 100Devs as a way of moving into computer touching for a job.

I'm not programming smart in any way, shape or form but i have always been impressed by people who can program in Assembly Language, i assume that would be a lot harder given the size of programs these days.

It comes and goes, it was big for PIC embedded code long after it was unwieldy for most other things, and now those types of microcontrollers are so cheap that it's cheaper to have one on inside a 'candle effect' LED than a basic timer/flicker chip.

Obviously it depends on the programming, but no one really writes full programs in assembly. Mostly, you find out areas where you could possibly make the code execute quicker if it was in assembly, and only do those. But then again, most compilers do that poo poo these days.

I've written whole things in assembler, you kinda had to on the amiga although Blitz basic did a decent job. However for anything past 1995, it's just too complex to handle entirely, compared to the benefits of C++. Just the automatic handling of vtables and stuff allows a level of abstraction that makes writing complex stuff so much easier. With todays processors (and graphic sizes), the CPU grunt work is usually much less of a bottleneck than reading/writing data, which is why motherboard and RAM speeds make the biggest difference. The few places where the CPU has to do very heavy lifting, you can usually get most of the perf gains with some tortuously complex C (including gotos!) that lays things out in a different way for the compiler to then build the more optimal output from. Less readable but more efficient, and it takes time to do properly*, so this is only in the last weeks during crunch when people are swearing about why the Switch version stutters when you go through doors or some such poo poo, and probably affects 1or 2 files out of 300,000. * Adding so many goddamn comments there's likely more comments than code, but you can guarantee that in 2 years+ time some other project is going to email and say they borrowed this old thing and it needs fixing, and if you don't you will be staring at a horrible tangle of unintelligible code with your name at the top.
