I appreciate the FACT that you can be intelligent, educated, and still smoke cannabis.
I love math, and I love programming. It is like solving a puzzle and who doesn't like to do that?

Does anyone here like to program? I am finding more and more cannabis users who are very talented at programming it seems to be part of the computer science culture.


Even if you don't know how to "program" you can still share your interest.

What kind of programming do you do? I dabble and try to bring programming into my work when I can.

that's cool man - programming can be helpful in all sorts of areas- I primarily just program for school assignments but am trying to start working on games. I am working on minesweeper right now writing in C with some C++ features. but also want to start working in unity which uses C#

I'm a neuroscientist doing my PhD now so I haven't studied programming officially, but programming is super important for all science so I've recently been studying a bit in my own time.

It's pretty hard to get into initially though!

ya it can be hard to get into - but the challenge is fun. What languages are you going into? tutorialspoint.com is great. but I can offer a few recommendations for more specific languages.

wow that's really impressive! I went to school for nursing for awhile and although it wasn't for me and I am much happier in the area of computer science, I absolutely loved my anatomy course. When I learned about the CNS I was completely blown away. My professor had a PhD in the CNS and he really taught a lot more about it then the scope of the course. The brain has so many connections and is more then complex, a very interesting field of study to say the least.

What type of research are you doing? I probably wouldn't understand much but it would be cool to know.

Do not myself but I hear the FBI is having trouble finding hackers and programers alike that don't smoke. FBI policy is you can't do that I guess... haha

Yeah man I love it, so many unknowns, so many secrets to uncover and then share with the world... I'm trying to learn Java because I want to get into Android programming, I have a few neuroscience based app ideas. But I heard Python is pretty much the best language to learn at the moment.

I stopped programming for the most part since I have gotten me/cfs. The brain fog is horrible. OTOH if i take a puff or 2 from a vaporizer I find my brain is good enough to program for 15min or so. Repeating this I can get a good hour of programming done. I wish there was an easier way to do this sort of microdosing

have you tried a small dose of an edible? I tried a 25mg dose and it wasn't too much but was enough and lasted a long time.

I thought I responded sorry
SO just released a survey from professional programmers you might find interesting:

https://stackoverflow.com/insights/s...tent=blog-link

it goes over most used and important languages/features/etc.
I had a good time going through that and learned quite a bit - javascript dominates in the survey overall.

I have no experience with python but I know it is a general language and can be used from microchips to games. Very useful imho - perhaps being a more general language is why it is so important to learn at the moment. My degree is sticking to c/c++ so I probably wont use it much. Doesn't mean it does not serve a good purpose. My degree is more specific and different places teach different things - I want to become a game developer and every company expects you to know c++, so that's the route I chose.

Java is close to c++ but the syntax is a little different and it is purely object oriented. Also it is an interpreted language - hence why so many machines run on it like atm machines and stuff. Lots of places teach using java - probably more then any other - it is a great language to learn because you will really fully understand object oriented programming and be able to use that in other languages. I think the reason why so many places teach it is because it is purely OOP - so you are more restricted and teaching the concepts/theory is easier.

I would love to hear your apps ideas!
unless you don't want to spill the beans :P
