False | pron98 | t2_f0thb | I think that what makes TLA+ hard to learn (at least for me, when I learned it) is nothing intrinsic, but the learner's familiarity with programming (I remember asking on the mailing list when I was learning whether TLA^+ was eagerly or lazily evaluation only to be given the answer that the very question is out of place, as, obviously, there is no concept of evaluation in simple mathematics; I had to learn to think of computation separately from programming, after decades of programming). The more you try to think of TLA^+ as programming, the harder it will be to internalize its concepts, although they are simpler than those of any programming language. This is intentional, and what gives TLA (the logic that forms the basis TLA^+ ) its unusual expressive power -- especially the notion of the abstraction/refinement relation which is at the core of TLA.
Having said that, programmers learn TLA^+ to a sufficient amount to write useful specifications of large, complex systems either in a 3-day hands-on seminar or in 2-3 weeks (part time) on their own, using the available tutorials. | null | 0 | 1545764350 | 1545766950 | 0 | ecj9c36 | t3_a9h3up | null | null | t3_a9h3up | /r/programming/comments/a9h3up/tla_is_hard_to_learn/ecj9c36/ | 1548060881 | 7 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | bloody-albatross | t2_cdjk3 | Currently listening to that talk. Very interesting. So far he made several points that speak for languages like Rust. Sure it is easy to write a language that has no special constructs for error handling, but are the resulting programs simple or a complected mess of error handling? Later he praises languages that are per default immutable (which is another topic, but still). Praising Haskell in particular (a language that does error handling with algebraic types and a language where you can't ignore return values).
And he has both, conditionals and matching in the complexity column (Vs. simplicity). So there Go isn't different than Rust/Haskell/etc.
My intention is not to advocate Rust, I just used it as an example that is somewhat well known.

How strange. I found all who went into systemd traumatic.
It's weird since I see linux more as a building block of separate components,
much more like LFS/BLFS views things (although I find it annoying that the
LFS adheres to the FHS-joke, but LFS also provides high quality information
as a whole, which is awesome).
I guess the only "benefit" that you have via ubuntu or, say, fedora, is when
things work out of the box, in ways that don't make you require to want to
change much at all. Then it may be fine.
The moment you don't want to fit to that or become impatient because
some distributions are so slow (debian in particular; and debian sid is a
joke if you compare it to e. g. void, gentoo or any of the other distributions
that have some people with brains behind), is the moment where you are
completely stuck with these "simple" distributions. I found that debian,
for example, by splitting packages into illogical sub-packages, makes
things super inconvenient. I never had this problem with slackware for
example.
I don't feel that these "convenient" distributions that cater to simple users
primarily, have made things better on the whole. They have made it
better in that non-computer savvy people can use linux comparatively
easily, but it does not really feel as if you really have linux. You more have
a sandbox filled with sand; you sit there and dig into the sand and everything
is fine when you keep on digging. The moment you want to leave that is the
moment of shock.
> It made me love Linux and open-source and got me curious and motivated.
I don't "love" linux even though I have been using it since soon 20 years or so
(in a few years). Linux is great though - in particular the flexibility is simply
unparalleled. Not even the BSDs reach that - again, see LFS/BLFS but keep
in mind that you can modify it easily by adding your ideas on top of it. You
could say that the different BSD flavours achieve that but ... it's not the same.
You don't get the same level of control in the BSDs as you get with Linux.
Linux is like the ideal LEGO building block of things.
I don't "love" ruby either, but if I have to pick between linux and ruby then
ruby is infinitesimally more awesome than linux. If ruby were as fast as
the mother-of-all languages today (C) then nobody would use C; and perhaps
you may even see something like the linux kernel, just not in C (but evidently
you need to be either faster; or as fast as C; plus the fact that some of it
is written in assembler, so you may have to use assembly too).
> After Ubuntu I moved on to Arch Linux and Gentoo, and felt the beauty

Yay! \o/
One step up!
Although Arch Linux is a mere shadow of its former glory; Gentoo is
still going strong in regards to having people with brains.
I don't use Gentoo primarily because of its python focus (emerge;
and nah, I don't want to use paludis or anything like that, even
more so since Gentoo does not allow me to use AppDirs such
as GoboLinux allows me to do so), but Gentoo is a great distribution.
Void is like the modern baby that you get when you merge oldschool
Arch, Gentoo and FreeBSD. Admittedly the installer needs massive
improvement but aside from that Void is headed for the future.

Yes. So use Ruby. Or any other language to automate whatever

The thing is - and I said this before - people should not expect the JIT to do magic right now. Wait until 3.0.
Here is an introduction:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/MJIT#Basic-usage
I think things will slowly improve over time - including how people can use the JIT successfully.
For example, I myself don't know whether I should use the JIT anywhere. Since I am both lazy and a scaredy cat I will wait for others to test it; then I learn from them. :P | null | 0 | 1545766503 | False | 0 | ecjbwvu | t3_a9g38m | null | null | t1_ecj0w2k | /r/programming/comments/a9g38m/ruby_26_jit_progress_and_future/ecjbwvu/ | 1548062086 | 8 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | Diark | t2_j29nm | No it's not that low level. Assembly would be equivalent to an internal combustion engine.
C would be assembling the engine into a car. Now can you drive a car without knowing how to assemble it?. Yes you can.
Would it be better to know what components a car has?. Yes so that incase of break down you know what might have caused it.
Driving a car is still the objective, which can still be done without knowing the internals. It's just a bit better if you know what internals the car has. | null | 0 | 1544511136 | False | 0 | ebjsuop | t3_a54748 | null | null | t1_ebjspkg | /r/programming/comments/a54748/top_5_reasons_to_learn_python_as_your_first/ebjsuop/ | 1547462344 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

First generation = Assembly.

Third generation = More complex languages using more abstract constructs that do not map as directly to to underlying metal. (Java, C#, Python etc)

I'm surprised that it only takes 2 weeks. Upon further research, it seems that most computers have a lot of trouble keeping accurate time internally, and therefore depend on sync over NTP more frequently than I originally assumed.

Mozilla gave up when they became a PR promo organization. How could you trust someone to claim how they will obliterate adChromium all the while as Google pays them to prioritize Google for the search result?
They pour more resources into Rust, so of course firefox is no longer their priority.

False | tulipoika | t2_zczahne | The car analogy is great. Just like languages and computers cars have gone from “I’ll just change the spark plug myself” to “guess it’s time to take it to service.” Very few could actually fix the car even if they knew what the problem was and knowing it doesn’t help much. You still need a mechanic.
The same with languages. You want to get stuff done? Do it. With any language you want/know. Python is great to begin with. So many people are doing great things in science, for example, without knowing how memory management works, or if their code is the bestest ever. It’s the end result that matters.
If you had forced these people to go through C first you’d have a lot less science in this world. And that’s not ok. And even if you go “no but the actual coders...” it’s not ok. They’re coding real things. And they don’t need C.
It’s useful for a programmer to know how computers work. C isn’t always useful and doesn’t always help with that.

False | julesjacobs | t2_1vbw | Proving that a regular expression has only finitely many different derivatives is fairly easy by induction on the syntax of regular expressions, and this gives you an explicit and efficient algorithm for computing the DFA of a regular expression.
The most intuitive proof I know is the following.
Given a regex you first exhaustively apply the rule (A+B)C = AC+BC to push things inside +. This puts your regex in the form union of sequence of (char or kleene star of regex). Doing this is not necessary but putting it in this normal form lowers the number of cases you have to check.
The derivative D\_c with respect to c does:
D\_c(A + B) -> D\_c(A) + D\_c(B)
D\_c(dR) -> R if d=c and 0 otherwise
D\_c(A\* B) -> D\_c(A) A\* B + D\_c(B)
This fully defines it on normal forms. The only case that might create an infinite number of derivatives is the A\* B case, but if we assume by induction that A only has finitely many derivatives it's easy to see that A\* B also only has finitely many different derivatives, because D^(n)(A\* B) only creates new terms of the form D^(n)(A) A\* B and by the induction hypothesis there are only finitely many different D^(n)(A).
Another way to do it is to define the conversion regex -> DFA directly by recursion on the syntax of the regex.
Simplifying, a DFA is a pair of a state space and a step function (S,f). Given (S1,f1) for regex A and (S2,f2) for regex B you can define (S1 x S2, g) where g\_c(s1,s2) = (f1\_c(s1),f2\_c(s2)) as the DFA for A + B, and similarly for all other regex constructs. | null | 0 | 1545767645 | 1545770526 | 0 | ecjdfvz | t3_a9d94p | null | null | t1_ecijjfv | /r/programming/comments/a9d94p/i_hate_the_pumping_lemma/ecjdfvz/ | 1548062796 | 0 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | 13steinj | t2_i487l | A segfault is caused by any illegal use of memory. The three main types of "laws", or permissioms, are execution, reading, and writing. If you do one on memory you aren't allowed to, you segfault.
Including but not limited to
* reading from the page of lowest values, usually 0-4096
* reading from an OS-based group that defines the lowest pages
* the two above, but a write not a read
* executing raw machine code that you have as bytes on the heap that aren't under the execute protection
Thus just about any language that is built on such semantics can segfault. And because x86/64 works on these semantics, thus so does at least one variation of C with a specific libc, and so does bash.
Chance of segfaulting in bash is low though. Not sure if it's higher or lower than getting a segfault in Python.

False | shevegen | t2_atqp | > Python has a simple syntax as compared other popular languages

Python is a fine language. Ruby is better but it is fine to use Python too.
However had, this statement goes on my nerve.
Yes, python has a lightweight syntax compared to C++. C++ has to
have you invest time to tell the compiler which types go where. That
in itself inflates the syntax. As shitty as C++ can be (it is pretty shitty),
the end result will be so much faster than Python. So the comment
is really really really unfair - yes, python has the better syntax, we
all know that. Ruby's syntax is even better. But when you use C++,
I am pretty sure your goal will be to be faster than any equivalent
python code written here.
So the comment is really really unfair.
> Advanced tasks: Python can handle advanced tasks
That's a pointless statement since these languages are turing
complete, so you can do whatever you want to do in one and
the other.
> Web Development Possible: Python has great frameworks
Also pointless. I use ruby on the web too but without using
any of the existing web-frameworks (obviously I also wrote
a lot of web-related code). So if you can do so , you can do
this in other languages. You would not use C++ for this.
It's too much work. The syntax is also way too heavy. Web
applications will not be described in C++ unless you really
really need some speed - but not at the front end.
> High Salary of Python Developer
Quite frankly - it is a metric we can understand. But it is
a pretty HORRIBLE reason to want to learn a language
merely because you want more money.
> Python is the fastest programming language that can deal
> with big data.
Yet you will still be faster with C++.
As odd as it is but I think the best language to start with
will be C. C is much harder than python but you can learn
python lateron anyway. While I myself use ruby just about
every day, I think C is the single most important programming
language. You cana lso think about it why ruby, perl, python
etc... linux kernel are all written predominantly in C. Or on
which language C++ is based on (and compatible). | null | 0 | 1544512478 | False | 0 | ebjtrga | t3_a54748 | null | null | t3_a54748 | /r/programming/comments/a54748/top_5_reasons_to_learn_python_as_your_first/ebjtrga/ | 1547462778 | 2 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | shevegen | t2_atqp | The thing is - you can learn python lateron anyway. But you may not learn C lateron.
For example, I used to learn/read books about:
- perl
- C++
- php
- ruby
- python
In this order. I am using ruby these days the most although I also use python though less than I do ruby. But I can also tell you that I do not want to learn/master C because it feels so shitty and inferior to ruby - at the same time, C is so incredibly important. Literally all the awesome stuff is written in C. And I don't feel like learning it properly because it is such a horrible language compared to ruby.
This is why people should learn C first. It's not pleasant but it is important.

False | 13steinj | t2_i487l | Well it's moreso that you gave a code snippet to arbitrarily download and run something from the internet. Someone new would probably do this without thinking. But in reality a malicous actor (not you) would do the same thing. The only difference here is I doubt you control the content of that script.
Generally when giving snippets like that its good to
* provide a direct link that can be clicked and examined, in case someone wants to (it's not clickable, and while copypasta to the url bar is minimal effort people are lazy)
* encourage someone to examine the link yourself
* never link to some tree reference, always use a link to a specific commit. This minimizes the chance of screwing people over after your comment is made and the original author or another actor changes the content that the link is to be some script that say, gains root due to an issue in X11 and then wipes the drive.
E: the first four words and markdown marker were unrelated and made my comment confusing. I have no idea why they were there.
