Explore how pointers refer to memory to understand the most fundamental part of C pointers.
Roughly how far is stuff in our solar system
Просмотров 305Месяц назад
I use the radius of planets and the radius of their orbit around the sun, in very rough numbers, to give you some idea of the scale of our solar system. If you want more exact numbers, an easy Google search will help. My goal here is prospective.
How Computers Handle Negatives - Two's Compliment
Просмотров 230Месяц назад
In this video, I explore how computers handle negative numbers when all they have are ones and zeros. I am working to deepen my own understanding of pointers in C as part of my efforts to write a C compiler and explore how computers work. It's simply a hobby as I work as a Python developer, far from the low-level code that I explore in my free time. More videos on this topic (not mine): - rucli...

From desert guiding to programming at 48 years old

Why am I learning Spanish? 🤔
Просмотров 1014 месяца назад
For the last two years one project that I've been working on consistently is learning Spanish. In this video I try to answer "why".
Welcome to my new channel.
Просмотров 614 месяца назад
In this video I simply introduce myself and describe my intentions for this channel.
4:00 i mean... atoms and molecules are themselves made up of stuff. Not to mention the entire world of bosons and forces, with or without the inclusion of atoms and molecules. It's a day to day part of life. And why even group atoms and molecules together? They are two different things at two different levels of abstraction. Great video so far, and especially great dictation, was just peaked by this point
Yeah, you're right. It is a simplification, of course.
you seem to have a gift for explaining things in simple terms. keep going!
Thank you!
Imagine being deserted in the desert with but a dessert
I have indeed had wonderful desserts in the desert many times. A good ice-cream makes a good one in a hot desert. 😊
Hey, u have a email, wanted to contact you for a collaboration!
There is the _Easy Languages_ channel, which might (or might not) have lot of videos in your target language. The videos might be a bit too advanced for the stone-cold beginner but they might be good for a beginner with a bit of background.
This is good advice, and basically what I did with Icelandic, except that there isn't too much content on RUclips. Luckily, Iceland's national broadcasting service (RÚV) is very good, and has lots of content. I still regularly listen to Icelandic radio every morning, and frequently also listen to audiobooks.
@@coryjorgensen622 wow, that's a very cool language to learn!!!
good stuff
@@aristomenissyriopoulos7896 thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I been wondering what someone sounds like after studying with dreaming spanish. But also you've been studying for quite sometime. But still I appreciate you sharing. But i think your spanish is pretty good though. Seems like you're putting your sentences together well. I'm only at level 3 so I have a ways to go. But thanks for encouraging me.❤❤😊😊
@@simmayu3279 yeah. I feel like I've improved a lot since this video, so I will do more updates. Good luck in your journey. I feel like it becomes more and more fun.
I'm really enjoying your videos mate and it's inspiring to hear you trying all these new things
Thank you! Your comment made my day! I think life's more enjoyable if we give ourselves a push and discover what we can do.
If you're willing to share, what did you use to create the animations? I really like them
Ah, I'm so glad you liked them. To be honest, I'm still trying all sorts of experiments to get animations working, and this was done with Pygame.
@@sandcurves Oh, that's cool to know. Python's my native language (hence the need for low-level knowledge supplements), so that makes me want to try out something similar as well
@@yelircaasi Same. Python is what I use for work. I don't think Python is the best way to do animations, but it's fun and a challenge.
this style of video is the first one which properly made me understand pointers so thank you
@@BG-kj5wb that's really nice to know. Thank you! There will be more to come on the topic because I'm busy getting into it myself
No!
very cool video!
@@rhino_nam thank you
Awesome video!! 🤔
Ah, thank you so much!
I think the audio is too low, but great video.!
Ah, thank you. I'll see if I can up the volume next weekend, and keep that in mind for future videos.
Well done mate. Enjoyed watching that. You're going great and by the time 2026 comes around and you travel to Sth America you'll absolutely nail speaking to anyone.
@@Rumpole1000 thank you. Some days feel better than others. But I'm happy and think I've made some good progress since this video.
Great job!
@@nafeesahthompson6583 thanks so much
Great job!
Thank you
Great stuff man!
Thank you!
Use switch case statements
Thanks

In C, you can directly use characters as equivalent to ascii code. For instance, you can use `c >= '0' && c <= '9'` to check for a character to be digits. This makes it easier to understand and maintain too :D By the way, I would recommend looking into the `ctype.h` header which as many utilitary functions to check characters types
Wow! Amazing amazing story! Congratulations! I was a software developer myself. I also changed country, but I was 24 at that time. Doing it at 48 years young is a whole new level! Hats off to you!
Thank you so much.
Muy bien, ¡Arriba españa!🎉
Where's #1? I see #2, which is the file opening episode... Edit: the Thorsten Ball books on writing an interpreter/compiler in Go are highly recommended if the dragon/Nystrom books aren't your jam.
Ah, thank you. I fixed it. #2 will come this weekend and hopefully it will be a little better.
dude where´d you get that wallpaper?
I have no idea. If you're talking about my Mac, I think I just googled "Dark world map" or something along those lines.
Recently, I've fallen in love with you. I'm really glad you're on RUclips, and that I found you!
Thank you
wonderful!
Thank you. I just finished my first book in Spanish, which is a good feeling. Another milestone!!
Very cool story and congrats on the drastic career change. What sort of talks did you do for the Namibian python groups back then?
Thank you. I always gave talks or workshops to help total beginners get started. So, nothing interesting, but I always felt that, as an experienced guide, I had the ability to teach hard things in simple ways. And, honestly, I just love seeing people experience the joy of the feeling of making stuff for the first time.
Rooting for you on your programming journey!! I am a Computer Science Student, hope we could do some projects in the future.
Ah, good luck on your programming journey. Always remember that you're basically solving puzzles and keep it fun.
software developer here..... how do i become a desert guide?
Get a visa work visa to live in a desert area that tourist actually visit, learn more than most guides know, and apply for jobs. And, if that's really something you'd like to do, there are many, many other things to do, including preparing yourself for a salary 1/10 what you're earning now. But, it is an amazing job, especially if you love deserts and love people.
Beautiful story. So proud of you buddy.
Thank you!!!
apache camel
Congrats on your journey! It's really fascinating hear your challanges and to be lifelong learner is really hard and you are a true example nothing should stop us reinventing ourselves!
Thank you so much!
Nice job
Thank you!
Impressive!!! Well done!
Thank you so much!
i dont know why i thought that you are beginner haha
Ah, well, I'm not a beginner, but there is still a long journey ahead.
Que bueno! Yo entendé cerca de todo que to diciste! Yo no tengo muchas horas en Dreaming Spanish, menos de cincuenta, pero tú lo hablas suficiamente lento que para mi es bueno! Gracias por tu video! Talves unos dias, gente como tú, personas no nativos en Español, tambien pueden hacer videos para Dreaming Spanish!
Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm still far to go before I'll be good enough to do videos on Dreaming Spanish, but I'll certainly keep posting updates here.
Good job!
Thank you so much!
Felicitaciones!
Gracias!
maybe i should also create channel haha. what do you think how long it will take you to learn spanish?
I'll certainly make some videos in the coming days about how long it takes. Stay tunned!
@@sandcurves okay, sure. i wish you everything what is the best and i'm waiting for new videos
your history sounds cool especially things around africa. personally for me and almost all of us it can be so exotic that's why i think it is interesting. i'm learning spanish because i want go there before I buy a van and live there playing guitar. thtat's my plan.
Thank you. Sounds like a fun plan!
Can't wait! ❤
