Basic programming concepts and syntax
My personal recommendation is to go with Python. And, of all the things I'm going to recommend in this post, that is the one I most firmly believe in. Python is an absolutely beautiful language in that it is incredibly human readable, and involves a lot less boilerplate than a lot of the older languages (C++, Java, etc).
If you prefer to learn from videos, start with this series:
https://pythonprogramming.net/introduction-learn-python-3-tutorials/
I have not watched that particular series, since the creator (sentdex) has apparantly updated his playlists quite substantially since I was last viewing them. However, if this series is anything like the original series he had up on "introduction to python", then it's like very decent.
If you want another series (either instead of the above, or in addition to β it's not a bad idea to learn the same material from multiple different sources, because it will make you see some similar concepts from other material that didn't make sense the way they explained it, but suddenly does when explained differently):

And another interesting video from the latter YouTuber that is absolutely awesome for review (but NOT for a beginner), is the following:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mEzFDjqtA
If you'd rather use a book/ebook, a commonly suggested one is this:
https://learnpythonthehardway.org/
I, personally, did most of my learning from video tutorials. That, and a whole lot practice and trial and error in the pursuit of hobby projects that interested me enough to motivate me to keep learning.
Web Applications
Next, you're going to want to learn about web applications.
I personally recommend using the Flask library for Python. There's also Django, but Flask is a lot simpler (it involves less boilerplate code, for instance).
This YouTuber has a lot of videos on Flask, but I'd recommend starting with this series:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXmMXHVSvS-AjwTOtiW1DXFYTgUlrUmHV
There is a lot more to web applications, including deployment, security, understanding HTTP requests and the REST framework, and a bunch more. I might do a separate write up on some of that stuff later.
Data structures, Algorithms, and Computational Complexity / Optimization
Eventually, you're going to want to learn about different data structures as well as algorithms. And then optimization goes hand in hand with data structures and algorithms. Basically, optimization is about using the most efficient data structures and algorithms for the task at hand.
There's a lot to learn about these topics, and I don't want to burden you right now with them. But just be aware that they will become important later.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-03-12 at 7:24 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Malice Metro EditionI'm so goddamned embarrassed about how I acted around everyone on xanax, and it kills me that I pushed everyone away and everyone thinks I'm literally retarded or a piece of shit because I literally couldn't see or hear well or remember ANYTHING, and would talk in circles and space out mid-conversation and forget things immediately and couldn't walk straight and had no coordination or fine motor skills, and forgot what I was talking about mid-sentence.
I kinda objectively ruined my life.

2019-03-10 at 1:38 AM UTC in Where is the line between being a junkie and not?Personally, I'd rather deal with dope sickness than a guilty conscience.
They both feel shitty*, but one is transient, the other permanent.
* Assuming the individual in question has a conscience, but that might be assuming a lot.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Lanny Obviously not everyone who's ever used opiates qualifies as a "junkie" but in particular separates junkies from others in your mind? We've had and have plenty of opiate users here, most of us have probably known some in real life, one striking thing about the "junkie" label is that no matter how seriously addicted a person is or how many problems their addiction causes them, I've never seen someone seriously describe themselves as a junkie. There's always some thing that junkies do that they don't which separates them.
So what is it to you that makes someone a junkie vs. not?
Junkies don't describe themselves as junkies? Does the fact that I repeatedly refer to myself as a junkie mean I'm not?
My mom will be so happy to hear this.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Lanny Like apparently it's about the power being back on, but over half the email is about consoling people who are literally afraid of the dark. I get that it's CYA boilerplate but if there's a strong breeze blowing they send out an email about getting counseling. A while ago some people wrote "zionists not welcome" in chalk on the ground a couple of places and they sent out a mass notification about the 4 different "safe spaces" on campus and how to get emotional support.
Like god damn, I have no problem with these things existing in premise but is there really anyone in need of emotional support after someone wrote something they may not agree with?
i think you need counselling for feeling this.
seek counselling before you hurt yourself or someone you love.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Whenever I see a snapchat enhancement, my brain immediately adjusts to see the image as one whole heaping pile of trash, unworthy of continued viewing.

2019-03-02 at 4:46 AM UTC in Well they say I got a habit, that I'm just a drug addict and I'll never be nothin moreWell they can just have it, I don't care if I'm damaged. Honestly I just think I'm bored, and alcohol is just a flavor that I wanna try and savor every second that I'm posting on NIS
I'm gonna do what I want, I don't care if it's not what you want anymore.
So now I'm drinking coca-cola with some whiskey and a soda, I've been sipping since 10am. And every morning I wake up I just wanna give up, but I guess I gotta do it again. Oh my god it's like boo fucking hoo, it's just all about you, and man you're so sensitive. And do you really think that I wanna be that guy that dies without any friends?
I'm getting so sentimental now. I've got my whole life to figure it out. I'm getting older and I'm freaking out cause I've got nothing to show and I'm still fucking broke...
And now I'm one week sober and I'm still hungover, and maybe I should take a break. And I think I need help cause I'm playing with myself at least three times a day. And what's the big fucking deal if I don't wanna feel.
But I got some reservations about rehabilitation cause I drink till I'm sad and I love being mad

Cause once you've found your thrill, you move in for the kill. I'd chase you up the hill
And all through time
And now my memory seems to be failing me. What once was fantasy is all I've ever known.

2019-02-27 at 9:28 PM UTC in What was it like the first time you did drugs?For the sake of interesting conversation, and not having the same stories over and over, let's avoid marijuana/nicotine/alcohol stories unless yours is really good.
The first drug I did that was not those three, was hydrocodone. It was actually prescribed to me, and I didn't know what it was back then lol. I thought it would be no different than ibuprofen or something. Took 7.5mg and actually felt the beginning of something nice, so I googled to see if it was anything good and was extremely surprised to find out it was an opiate.
Did more research and decided that instead of using them to help my pain, I would get high instead. I think I actually worked my way up from 15mg to 22.5mg to 30mg, and before I knew it I was taking it everyday.
I think the next two after that was probably like amphetamines and spice. This was around the time I became a drug dealer for a bit and had this 6'5 dude as backup/employee lol. I got him high on his birthday once and for some reason he decided he liked me enough to help me without any compensation.
One time this dude fucked me over after I fronted him. I was going to forget about it honestly but this guy and some others who got robbed by him decided to kick his ass. Not really related to me, but that kid assumed it was I guess because he gave me my money back afterwards ($20 lol).
Then some kids at my school got busted for dealing, so I decided to stop. And then my hydrocodone ran out, and so did my friends. So that was the end of that period of my life. Kinda funny how many people will be your friend just because you're holding.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

IDK, I think I kind of prefer AA bc it's a bit more sophisticated. I don't go to meetings outside my IOP though.
