• Ask HN: Good sources of math exercises for ~10-17 y/o?

  Could solve Project Euler problems in Lua - aka, the easiest programming language to learn https://projecteuler.net/ Alternatively, you could get a homeschool math textbook. They're written differently because the assumption is that the kid is going to have to teach themselves, and as such they are significantly more thorough and easy to understand. I highly recommend them. Don't get the kind that are "workbooks",... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Ask HN: Are there any websites for SQL puzzle games?

  A coworker used to solve Project Euler[1] problems using SQL while they waited for DB indexes to rebuild or tables to restore from backup in the middle of the night. [1] https://projecteuler.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Scripts should be written using the project main language

  > Sure, maybe for some esoteric edge cases, but 5 mins on https://learnxinyminutes.com/ should get you 80% of the way there, and an afternoon looking at big projects or guidelines/examples should you another 18% of the way. Not for C++, and even for other languages, it's not the language that's hard, it's the idioms. Python written by experts can be well-nigh incomprehensible (you can save typing out... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Scripts should be written using the project main language

  > Learning a new language shouldn't be difficult. Programmers are expected to familiarize themselves with new tech. I wish any large company agreed with this. I've worked for a company that on boarded every single new engineer to a very niche language (F#) in a few days. Also, everybody I worked with there was amazing. Probably because of that kind of mindset. Meanwhile google tiptoes around teams adopting kotlin... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• The Shen Programming Language

  When I want to get a quick feel for a language I've never heard of, I usually look for the Learn X in Y Minutes[0] page for it. Shen doesn't have one. Perhaps the author and/or poster should remedy that? [0] https://learnxinyminutes.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• New GitHub Copilot Research Finds 'Downward Pressure on Code Quality'

  StackOverflow's making their own competing LLM for all this stuff. IMO, one of the biggest problems with the way people use LLMs right now, is that they're being treated as a single oracle: to know Java, it must be trained on examples of Java. It would be much better if their language comprehension abilities were kept separated from their knowledge (and there are development efforts in this direction), so in this... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
