Yeah I'm also confused by that part. The first said Germany -> Malaysia and the second said: Will be unchanged but Malaysia

If interested in animation and Julia you might wanna have a look at: https://github.com/Wikunia/Javis.jl We are currently working on v0.3 with a cleaner syntax. Coming in about a week
Re:Looking for a Mentor on Sunday October 25, 2020 @05:09PM (#24889893)
Okay for coding I what say: practice practice practice :D I personally learn best when I have an idea and I want to implement something specific. Can be big or small. Best are the ones which are very extensible. What I do as a mentor is to review code and give feedback. You probably don't wanna learn julia though. You can get some starter feedback at exercism.io Maybe you can ask there as well if someone wants to mentor you for some cash.
Re:Looking for a Mentor on Sunday October 25, 2020 @04:08PM (#24889465)
Not directly a mentor but maybe a study group helps? Have you done some internet courses on some topics? Maybe try to connect to the professors. They might have good students that can help you out. I think finding a mentor for coding stuff is one thing but getting a good background of CS education is harder. Hope you find someone :)

Ask HN: How do you learn a new programming language?

Posted by wikunia on Tuesday October 13, 2020 @12:22PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm currently trying to teach programming to some people by doing live streams for the public where one can ask questions and give code reviews and general mentoring (See https://opensourc.es/blog/side-mentoring/)Would like to know how you learn a new language and what would be beneficial for you if you would have a mentor.

Re:Javis v0.2 and the Future on Sunday October 11, 2020 @09:09PM (#24750531)
Thanks for the comment. I struggled with giving it a title that fits and still shows outsiders what the package does. Now nobody knows what Javis is and maybe thinks it manipulates the future On my blog I attracted more the people who are already familiar with Julia and Javis.
Re:Multiple Dispatch in Julia on Wednesday July 08, 2020 @03:53AM (#23767845)
I agree and would say that normally dispatch comes in handy for things like `+`, `length` and of course your own functions where the meaning is the same but the implementation must be different depending on the type.
Re:A Deep Introduction to JIT Compilers: JITs are not very Just-in-time on Monday July 06, 2020 @05:26AM (#23746086)
First of all! Nice post :) Just some random things: The first paragraph needs some commas, I think. In the first code block you probably want to have `print(variable_x)`
