Hello, i want to learn everything i can about computer science and programming, i am already signed up for CS in academia but am excited to start.

Simply put, where do i start?
- what language should i learn first?
- What IDE should i learn it in?
- what online resources should i use to learn it with?
- how did you start learning?

I'm a man without a budget so freeware is bestware.

I am on windows 10 (prefer 7 but i don't have a copy nor the money to get one); i have no experience in CS, only know programming a little bit; i mostly don't know what i am doing tbhfam.

>inb4 - CS in academia is useless
I don't care all that much, any education is better than none. I am interested in this meme, maybe be more conscise and explain why it is a waste if you are going to bring it up?
>inb4 - newfag
yes now fuck off

Hello /g/,
I'm fairly new to Unity and trying to build a simple game in C#. I understand that every script you create needs to be attached to a GameObject. Now say I have 3 GOs. What is the best practice to interact with them? I usually do the following to separate tasks - it works fine, but seems pretty stupid as it kind of defies object-oriented-programming.

>GameObjects A, B and C

[A] (takes, e.g., UI input values)
GameObject B, C;

void Start() {
B = GameObject.Find("B"); //this style is bugging me
C = GameObject.Find("C"); //this style is bugging me
}

private void doShit() {
//do shit in A and then call some functions in B or C, maybe with some parameters from A
B.GetComponent(Bscript).somefunction();
C.GetComponent(Cscript).somefunction(someMember);
}


[B]
GameObject A, C;

void Start() {
A = GameObject.Find("A"); //this style is bugging me
C = GameObject.Find("C"); //this style is bugging me
}

private void doMoreShit() {
//nice data mangling here. then we need a parameter from A to continue.
//so we could either call B.doMoreShit() from A with the parameter in the first place or get it here separately
niceFunction(A.someUIinputParameter);
C.GetComponent(Cscript).somefunction(someMember);
}


OR: We declare public variables and fill them with the appropriate GOs. It seems Unity gives several possibilities to achieve the same thing. So what's best practice? I kind of like to keep it OO without too much click'n'drag in the inspector.
Maybe use an Event System...?

Valve is instead switching instead to the open source drivers which are frequently faster, and more stable, than AMD's own internal driver efforts.

For anyone who doesn't know Valve has been hiring senior GNU/Linux driver devs to work on the open source drivers for a while now.
The rumor is they're working on a next-generation Steam Machine built around the next-gen Ryzen+Vega SOC hardware that will make Jaguar based SOCs look like toys.

Holy fuck you lot are a bunch of consumerist zombie cucks. How the flying SHIT is there not a thread about FCC shit 17-108 https://apps.fcc DOT gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-344614A1.pdf
I would've made this fucking shit earlier if i wasn't out of town and figured at least ONE fucking person here would have enough of a fucking brain to care about this.

Or how about Theresa May's uberkike plans regarding the internet?

Are you all too retarded and silverspoon to give a shit? You'd rather just buy a new mech kb while ignore your freedoms being stripped and letting corporate plutocrats finish taking over the entire world?

The internet used to be a place of fucking freedom, and this place too -- not just a place for a bunch of brainwashed teens and ignorant 20-somethings to suck corporate dick anonymously.

Get the FUCK OUT THERE and do something you twats. Call your representative, write them, contact the FCC, fucking DO SOMETHING you fucking maggot.
