All roadsl lead to Rome, and all chemical deregulation leads to Monsanto.

Yeah that tends to happen to people that violate basic human rights.

Ok so this template makes me lose the will to live

I’m currently a college student studying software engineering, so by no means am I a professional (yet at least, lol). Nevertheless, I’ll try to give what input I can.

Afaik and based on my own experiences, windows does not come with a pre-installed C compiler. (Win 11 Home at least) Also, I just honestly wouldn’t recommend C anyways especially if it’s for a non-technical crowd. It’s great once you get the hang of it, don’t get me wrong, but it’s definitely not beginner friendly.

As for a “best choice” it’s of course up to preference, what you’re already familiar with, and what kind of programs you and your class plan on writing. If you want to use a language that can directly translate into a working environment, Python is a very beginner friendly option. If you want something slightly less forgiving, I think Java provides a good balance between having a lot of useful built in functions/methods and having some of the more “strict” (for lack of a better term) rules about syntax (semicolons, brackets, static variables) that you’ll find in other languages. If you’re just looking to teach programming concepts on a surface/conceptual level then honestly something like code.org or scratch is a great option (and it’s where I got my start growing up lol)

As for setting up an environment, again, everyone has their own idea of the absolute best setup, and it’s also probably going to differ at least somewhat depending on what operating system you’re using. For my personal use I’ve mostly been using VSCode just because it’s pretty easy to set up. Definitely worth mentioning though that VSCode comes with plenty of Microsoft Telemetry built in by default so if you want an alternative without that I recommend Code OSS (vscode built directly from source) or VSCodium (vscode but with MS Telemetry disabled and a different default extension marketplace)

The intro to computer science class I took (and am currently an aid for) at university (we used C) did all of their demonstrations using CS50.dev, which is an online environment maintained by Harvard. For the Object Oriented Programming course I took (Java) we used Eclipse.

Again, I’m still a student, so take everything here with a grain of salt. And if anyone sees anything they think deserves clarification/correction please let me know. I’m still learning lol.

Jokes on me my parents only needed half a gigabyte of memory to do anything they could possibly imagine

Avocado is one of those things I really want to like because it’s pretty good for you but I just don’t know if I can get past the texture

When I was like 10 I read a book about film production and it mentioned that in some movies they use shredded pieces of paper for snow and I’ve never been able to unsee it.

Like surely there’s a better alternative that isn’t asbestos

I’ve been looking at this photo for like 10 years and even though I know for a fact that it’s blue and black I only ever see white and gold

It’s really interesting that this problem became apparent all the way back in like 1830 with the Indian Removal Act but we kinda just didn’t do anything about it.

Senators: “Hey if your boss tells you to do something illegal you should not do it.”

Trump administration:

Don’t worry guys Mine Johnson is here to explain why Trump is actually in the right here

I’m not joking he immediately jumped on the defense.

I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way but she looks unnaturally thin. I hope she’s doing okay.

Once you get to like Neptune I think is when you unlock the first cinematic quest. It is kind of annoying that they haven’t gone back and done more “prequel” style quests so newer players can know what kind of story they’re getting into before such a long commitment.

They did just recently release a very short quest that unlocks at the beginning of the game but it ended up being a little underwhelming.

Also, depending on when you were playing those quests might not have existed yet. Iirc The Second Dream, which was the first “cinematic” quest came out in 2015

Warframe players fr (I have over 3,000 hours)

Calling it now next month she’s gonna shoot herself or get some crazy incurable disease or just have a heart attack

That’s not what Back to the Future taught me

No

I had no idea Dennis Prager was paralyzed and living in constant pain. You just made my day.

Lmao we won’t be alive in 2026
