@Yuuki I was good until you said cilantro, cilantro ruins foods forever

@Ash I hear there's an actually identified gene that makes cilantro taste really bad for some percentage of people.

@Frank It's still in the box, unbuilt.

Yuuki

> The gene, OR6A2, lies within a cluster of olfactory-receptor genes, and encodes a receptor that is highly sensitive to aldehyde chemicals. Flavor chemists have found that the coriander aroma is created by a half-dozen or so substances, and most of these are aldehydes. Those who dislike the taste are sensitive to the offending unsaturated aldehydes, while simultaneously may also be unable to detect the aromatic chemicals that others find pleasant.

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden Linked lists are useful for many things, like if you're storing large objects and you want to be able to insert or delete from the middle, and you list ordering needs to be arbitrary.

(i.e. there's a set order, but it can't be accomplished by performing comparisons)

Yuuki

I did not like working with linked lists in my Data Structures class and I did not like working with linked lists again when I was helping my friend with his Data Structures class.

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley if and only if the large object is multiple cache lines large then yes

MBraedley

@Yuuki See, I learned linked lists (and doubly linked lists) in highschool, and then breezed through that week's assignment in my university intro to programming 2 class.

Yuuki

8:35 PM

@MBraedley Linked lists weren't hard, per say. It was just frustrating because the instructor (both times) picked bad use cases.

So the entire time, I was griping about how arrays would be much simpler to implement and would make more sense.

MBraedley

I think it also helped in highschool that we were using the AP template classes, and APVector is implemented as a linked list.

(I'd be surprised if that class, if it's still taught in C++, isn't using STL now, though.)

Yuuki

I feel like C++ should not be taught in beginner programming classes, but I just might be a crazy person.

Mad Scientist

While it's pretty useful to understand linked lists, you probably won't implement them yourself anyway. Most languages have arrays and lists as core features now, so you just use them

Yuuki

On the one hand, memory management and pointers don't feel like something you should start a rookie on. On the other hand, I doubt many people would go for learning memory management and pointers unless they were forced into it as part of an introductory course.

Kevin van der Velden

And it's something you need to grok if you want to make performant, big scale programs

Ronan

8:42 PM

I learnt it second year when I did my embedded systems project.

MBraedley

@Yuuki I feel the same way about java

Mad Scientist

Pointers as a concept are important. But my guess is that the vast majority of programming now happens in languages where you don't do stuff like pointer arithmetic

murgatroid99

I definitely think that you should start learning with a language that makes it easy (or at least easier) to translate ideas and algorithms to code. Basically, Python

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki I agree, start with C. It's simpler in a lot of ways

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden No, COBOL. That way, you have something to rely on to find a job when you graduate.

Kevin van der Velden

8:43 PM

And then go to indeed something like python for advanced concepts

MBraedley

@MadScientist Well even in C++, you really shouldn't be using pointers anymore for any public facing stuff, and even private and protected stuff should be using smart pointers when needed.

Kevin van der Velden

But learning how variables and such work in a language that is that close to reality can seriously help

Jason Berkan

So much of modern programming does not involve pointers. That should almost be an elective for people that think they'll need it.

Kevin van der Velden

Just because something is hidden doesn't mean it's not a thing

Mad Scientist

The concept of references is important, in many languages you don't need to understand more than that

murgatroid99

8:45 PM

@KevinvanderVelden C is close to reality in the specific sense that it's somewhat semantically close to the assembly representation of the processor instructions that are running the program

Yuuki

You can learn references vs. values without needing to know how to use pointers.

murgatroid99

But it's still an abstraction, just a thinner one than in other languages

Yuuki

Aw, I forgot to repost my Zenyatta PotG this morning.

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden But if I were to implement a linked list from scratch in C++ today, I'd use some kind of smart pointer, not a bare pointer. I still need to know that pointers are a thing, but I can keep the details hidden from me.

Kevin van der Velden

But you still need to learn that it exists, and I think the best way to learn about something is not in a language that hides it from you

murgatroid99

8:49 PM

@KevinvanderVelden By the exact same argument, I can say that you should be aware of registers, and that you shouldn't learn on a language like C that hides them from you

Mad Scientist

References exists in pretty much any language. Pointers as a value of a specific address in memory are an implementation detail in many higher level languages.

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden Okay, but there isn't anyone forcing you to use STL for everything. I can still do it the old fashioned way in modern C++.

Yuuki

You should be aware of binary, you shouldn't learn on a language like assembly that hides them from you.

Therefore, everyone should start learning machine code.

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 I disagree on that one, we have compilers that are better then you at register management in 99.9% of the cases; you don't really need to know how they work anymore

While with memory management that isn't the case

We have, at best, languages which clean up the garbage you leave behind

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden but that doesn't mean that you need to know the internal implementation of the memory management

MBraedley

8:52 PM

@KevinvanderVelden But with C++11 and C++14, you don't need to know how memory management works.

murgatroid99

There's no value in knowing that Python probably represents a reference to an object as an annotated 64-bit unsigned integer

MBraedley

You really don't have to write a single new or delete ever again.

Jason Berkan

@KevinvanderVelden And provably do a better job at it than I do.

Yuuki

@JasonBerkan 99.9% of the time though?

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 I'm not advocating that far. I'm basically saying have the first class with "these are variables" be in something that let's you have differences between variables on the stack and variables on the heap

murgatroid99

8:55 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Why? The stack/heap are C-specific implementations of memory management.

It's not some fundamental thing

Kevin van der Velden

@JasonBerkan not really, a more complete job, perhaps. But better? Not really

It's Java pretending it's C++ with a garbage collector

Kevin van der Velden

What does it have in common with C++

MBraedley

@Unionhawk I'm with @murgatroid99. It's C++, but without pointers (and templates, apparently).

Kevin van der Velden

Sorta the style with the curly braces and everything?

But then many many languages have that

Also, if you mash "++" together the right way, you get "#"

@Yuuki The syntax is confusingly unfamiliar. The syntax for defining closures is substantially different from the syntax for defining functions. All of the symbols are used to mean weird, unusual things.

My issue was that it used really odd and convoluted syntax in order to kludge stuff on top of C.
