I've done some on a tablet with a keyboard while traveling. It depends on your language and your phone. Python would probably be easier than Java. I used Linux Deploy or something similar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy

Ooh, I'll have to keep these in mind!! These seem more involved than Hackerrank

this looks fun, i'll try it out. i already like to use rosetta code and exercism for this sorta thing if you haven't encountered those!

You can see their different things here:

This is really exciting for me. I'm rusty on my Bash skills and Java skills, and haven't done much C++.

thank you!

C++ is a programming language. Boost is a very popular set of libraries that contain utilities like different popular data structures or things like that but it doesn't automatically come with C++. When you ask a question about "what's the easiest way to do X in C++?" Often someone will answer by linking to boost.

But boost is also giant, and you don't necessarily want to include such a huge dependency into you project just for one simple task you were asking about so it's kind of not always a great answer despite being extremely common.

JavaScript is also a programming language usually meant for running in web browsers. It's got a lot of platform-dependent quirks: some things work in chrome but not firefox or has some weird edge case in IE.. To smooth out these platform dependent quirks (and also add some really nice utilities and syntax helpers) theres a library for javascript called J-query. It too is pretty big so if you have a small JavaScript project and want to do one simple thing you don't necessarily want to include all of jquery but if you ask online"how do i do X in JS" it was so common for someone to suggest using Jquery that it became a meme to do so among (especially web) developers.

not a programmer, pls explain

oh definitely not. it was exceedingly terrible code, just one of those situations where it went largely forgotten and just had to live long enough on bugfixes for a team to finish rewriting it.

that sounds so awful

that can't be normal for ruby, can it? please tell me it's not :'(

i don't know any python... but i've maintained a lot of ruby where exceptions were used as flow control. that felt remarkably similar to using gotos in ti-basic. every rescue is a label, every raise is a goto.

if only i googled better

There are two different python libraries which create a goto method.

Get rid of that seat belt bucko. . . In this world, in street racing, it's kill or be killed.

I could also do this in C, but I like Python a bunch

ed... the standard Unix text editor.

i actually have seen a coworker of mine reach for ed in the context of automating changes to config files with a shell script (which was totally badass and ended up working really well) but even i am too young to have met anyone who ever used ed as a daily driver. this is really interesting.

also makes me think of this post about the editor Ed

that really is what it feels like even down to some of the modifier keys not working right

yea prolly

it'll be like the good ol' days of 80x24 character terminals!!

sound like a huge pain lol

i have used a bluetooth keyboard with an ssh client on my phone. it's fine in a pinch but i miss the screen real estate of a laptop or desktop

yeah my principle: i. your responsibilities towards yourself ii. little fun for you iii. helping out buds iv. everything else

GOOD prioritization, i agree with it, and thank u
