For <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#art</a>, I like <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/acrylic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#acrylic</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> painting. I rarely do it, but think about it a lot and love it when I do it. I don't have any skill or talent, but that's not the point. It's for me and no one else. For <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#computing</a>, I am venturing into <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#C64</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/demoscene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#demoscene</a> programming and exploration. Not only was I too poor to get one when I was little but I sorta forgot about it over time. The desire to do cool things in a restricted environment where folks are playing in the sandbox, too, is very exciting and attractive to me. I don't know how to code the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Commodore64</a> stuff yet, but will! Learning the assembly language (I have zero desire to code in BASIC again and I can just code assembly). <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Personal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Personal</a>I live with my soulmate and our five amazing cats in a small town outside St. Louis living a quiet life. Just doing our jobs, taking care of daily life stuff, and enjoying each other and life as much as we can. Ups and downs of life chaos, like anyone else, but we're doing alright! We enjoy exploring places within driving distance and there are a lot of places to go to. Currently, we're really into playing two-player games together and just started collecting <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boardgames</a>. Right now, we're really digging <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SkyTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SkyTeam</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RoyalGameOfUr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RoyalGameOfUr</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ForrestShuffle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ForrestShuffle</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SentinelsOfTheMultiverse</a>, and this magnet game I don't know the name of. We have <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SpiritIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SpiritIsland</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ArcNova" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArcNova</a> to unwrap and learn. We tried really really hard to get into <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame</a> but the rules are too complicated and confusing, where it felt like we were doing the wrong thing all the time. I am 46. I grew up loving Star Wars, Star Trek, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciFi</a>, reading novels non-stop, horror, and watching movies. I collect classic SciFi books from 1960s and 1970s.I would perhaps describe myself as an extremely curious person, that loves <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/puzzles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#puzzles</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/mysteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mysteries</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/exploration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exploration</a>, figuring out <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/HumanBehavior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HumanBehavior</a> like I'm an alien studying humans (I'm good at it, it turns out), that has a keen eye for detail, remembering random little things, and a good listener. I'm fairly adaptable and fluid in most things, which works well for me. My brain works differently than a lot of people, and while frustrating a lot of the time for things I don't understand fully, it is me and serves me well in niches. Making people laugh makes me happy. I am a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/hacker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hacker</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/tinkerer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tinkerer</a>.

disorderlyfI think a lot of my issues learning other languages are because I'm so used to how simple the syntax in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#C</a> is that any other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProgrammingLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProgrammingLanguage</a> looks so syntactically complicated that I don't know how the fuck anyone gets anything done I literally jumped ship from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Java</a> super early in my learning programming because I hated that every.Single.command.wasA.fucking.DotReference.withArbitrarycasingTooAnd I think that's a big part of my woes with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rust</a> compiler. Even if I didn't have problems with the occasionally misleading wording, it's so gods damned verbose and there's so many warnings that are literally just you doing styling things it doesn't like that I have to scroll through multiple pages. I had a error on a fucking Hello World programme that was five lines long and implied a syntax error when it was an issue with how I installed it.If there was a Yet Another C Killer that didn't throw errors because your one-word variable isn't snake_case (this actually happened to me the time before last I tried to learn Rust and appears to have been patched since then, but the fact that this was a warning that was enabled by default with that glaring of a readability issue baffles me given how big the project is) and didn't need five lines for a basic syntax error, I'd start learning that now.There has to be a better way than:ERROR: we expected there to be a semicolon (this symbol: ";") at line 420, character 69 But there was none!Hint: add a semicolon to line 420, character 69, like so: println!(" The classic print to console to make sure the function ran..."); ^ this thing right hereCould we not just have:ERROR on 420:69, missing semicolon. Maybe you forgot one?
