TL; DR: A great idea is great. Followthrough makes the difference. Growth is the goal. If you stay ready you don’t have to get ready. Do right by others. Talk about how things were when you started so you can teach people well. Social media has been a huge part…

Universal basic income is probably not coming to America any time soon. So people need to make money, and often many jobs which make decent salaries require STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) expertise. Web development is one of the fastest growing industries today. Lots of artists have their own…

We all use the internet, which is pretty obvious since you are viewing this on a web page. The internet is forever expanding into different areas of our lives, and even our things are using the internet to do what we ask them to do. Because the internet is decentralized…

What is IoT, and why does it matter? IoT, or, the internet of things is the fastest growing and largest part of the internet. There are, in fact, more things on the internet today than people, coming in at around 10 billion, and people trailing behind at just shy of five billion. Star Trek is useful as a…

Recursion is a tricky thing. Its simplest definition is a function which calls itself. This enables the programmer to define a very small problem, and use that limited solution to solve a large problem. It is particularly useful when, like a fractal, you aren’t sure what the size of the…

Python is known for being easy to write in, but it can be hard to know what’s happening in the background without some context. Python is one of the many languages which feature object-oriented programming (OOP), meaning data and functions can be grouped together in useful categories called “objects.” …

Libraries, whether static or dynamic, are useful because they allow functions to become available across multiple programs, because the library is either loaded at compilation time (in the case of static libraries) or exists completely separately to executable files (as in the case of dynamic libraries). Static libraries load all…

When users begin to be superusers, one of the first things to get used to is the shell. What exactly is a shell, and what happens when you type a command into it? The shell, a command line interface, is an application that allows the user to interact more closely…

Static libraries are very useful for creating efficient links between executable files and the functions which are called in them. Static libraries are in essence a set of functions which are joined with other object files to create an executable program. …
