ha! maybe the other cat but this one is a potato with legs XD


it could also be that is is math which is the darkest of magics

those are the best cats

i don't do math. instead, i code things to do math for me.

That actually sounds more difficult than math itself

But also more fun. And it reminds me of the good old days with my necromancer in GW. I did not kill enemies, I just cursed them and watched them kill themselves. Smiling.

Coding, more fun? It's on the same level as math for me~ A lot of self doubt, pain, and questioning life choices.
So.... pretty fun I guess.

I... like messing around with differential equations.

I like calculus-based stuff.

...Can’t stand statistics, though.

Mhhh. Meanwhile, I’m struggling w matrices.

Damn matrices is what I hated the most in high school
really glad I didn't have to score high in math to pass for college

In my opinion both coding and math is only difficult if you never had it properly explained to you. Back in high school we had a math teacher who barely explained anything. He just wrote tons of equations on the blackboard and expected us to somehow follow along -.-"
I was smart enough to manage most times, but I definitely get how others then start to believe they're too dumb for maths.

there's also dyscalculia. something like that, fuck if i know how to spell shit.

i actually find coding much more fun than doing math, mostly because i can easily understand the concept of coding.

Fine, but that's like 5% of people. The majority would grasp the concept. Which is of course different from whether or not a person actually likes math in the end.

I’m not terrible at learning new languages, which means I shouldn’t be terrible at coding, but I think a lot of that’s just... I started coding in 11th (?) grade, and supposedly you didn’t need prior experience bc it was a beginner class. Unfortunately, most people there legit knew what they were doing, and it was really demotivating, and I started falling behind.

Really struggled w that course, and it made me scared of programming. Still am to a degree.

Our own IT class was pretty much our teacher sat on the front desk reading the newspaper while everyone else browsed the internet.

That sounds like an utter waste of money.

Yeah, it was. To be honest I didn't complain about a free hour to goof around online back then... yet it would've been cool if he actually, ya know, taught us computer stuff.

when I was a child we had a computer class that was basically 'how to use windows 95'
because it was 1995. Good times.

I had Windows 95 figured out on my own soon enough - but I'll never forget how I stared at the computer for the first time when it looked so beeping different from 3.1
Then grandpa was actually the one who found out how to start a game. I think I spent a whole week doing nothing but Solitaire and Space Cadet on our new PC.

...I miss Space Cadet and Minesweeper.

They took Minesweeper out? o.o
*still has it here on Windows... uhwhat'sitagain... 7*

Yeah they did Death. Just like Nokia took out snake from their phones.

And call that progress. Why, world? WHY???

Yeah dude. We got to progress to our ends somehow. Removing minesweeper and snake is just one of the many tiny steps we got to take for the end to come. (8

they remove minesweeper and add 39048324892 types of solitaire u.u

that is not nearly enough types of solitaire

o-o *ahem*….
Mahjong. owo <3

I was learning Basic in 1984/85. On a Texas Instruments machine. With a cassette tape for data storage.

Pretty sure we're off this topic now, but I'm late to the party so here:
