@@hassanjomaa4073 You should take a look at tutorials (and there are many) that are already there and start working with it yourself. Even if he makes a video for you and uploads it in 2 weeks - you'll have just wasted 2 weeks waiting for a video on what's essentially a customizable text editor, and you'll still have to put in all the work of learning it yourself.

@@hassanjomaa4073 well, that was I posted before is just a summary of what you will see. A good tutorial on c++ without seeing the pure foundations, is C++ Tutorial for Beginners - Full Course by freeCodeCamp. It's more practise instead of a big amount of theory. For vs2022 help: C++ Project in Visual Studio 2022 (Getting Started) by Hacked is a good tutorial

[@serg472]

If you want to become a programmer this video is exactly how it goes - you try to do something cool, it doesn't work in the unexpected ways, you start googling and trying random stuff, you get meaningless errors you have no idea what they try to tell you, after you fix what seems to be the last error 5 new errors appear you didn't suspect were there, but then at 3am it starts working and it's the best feeling ever that makes you look forward to doing it all over again tomorrow.

except you also learn that the errors aren't meaningless, and understand why things are wrong

Love the video, and the fact that you are committed to learning VIM bindings makes it even better. I have a VIM Pro Tip for you at 6:40 : you can put your cursor on the character 1 on line 22, press Ctrl+V (enter Visual Block Mode) and then press 8j to go down, after that press g Ctrl+A and it will make you look like a wizard ;))) In VIM, Ctrl+A in Normal Mode increments a number and Ctrl+X decrements it and the "g" before Ctrl+A is a modifier. Again the keys sequence is: Ctrl+V 8 j g Ctrl+A

python is confusing if its your first language

[@TheosTechTips]

@@ardnys35 Every programming language is like that. He's not saying it's bad to struggle. It's normal. It's just fun (and painful) to watch him struggle so much and take hours to fix something when you know exactly what the answer is.

[@ardnys35]

@@TheosTechTips yeah i know and i've been there too. i just think python has weird quirks and abstractions that make the language confusing. this can be more severe for beginners. i am all for struggles by the way. it's always a struggle. only level changes.

[@TheosTechTips]

@@ardnys35 Oh yeah for sure. Python is probably one of my least favourite languages because every time I want to start working with it, there is some ridiculous syntax or bizarre limitation that immediately puts me off and with very little explained in the errors it gives. Like WHY DO I HAVE TO USE EXACT SPACING FOR IT TO WORK!!!! I would much rather program in a language with a proper typed and object-oriented design like Java, since you spend way more time programming then banging your head on stupid mistakes that a compiler would catch instantly.

[@bassamsaleh8034]

Alright, I’m still watching the video, but here’s a tip for Neovim/Vim from the 6:22 mark: no need to enter visual mode to yank/copy. You can use "yiW", which yanks the whole WORD wherever the cursor is on that WORD. Note the capital `W`-it treats text connected without spaces as a WORD, unlike the lowercase `w`.

[@bogxd]

UU thanks

[@MagicWazam]

The `verb + (i)nside or (a)rround + element` pattern is the most useful thing, especially with some extensions for more structural matching ciw : change a word yi( : copy the content of parenthesis da" : delete the quotes and their content vap : select paragraph and surrounding whitespace ... Vim is so deep and so fun to get better at

[@SbIrok_official]

Oh my god, I came across this video by accident, but I'm so glad, I don't know what the main channel is about yet, but this is some new genre of educational comedy, I really enjoyed it, would love to see more videos like this

[@vi_k]

I would just like to say to please try to avoid using the "snowflake" / * when importing as it can lead to namespace overloading

[@domojestic4155]

As someone who hasn't touched Python in a while, could you elaborate on what you mean by this / why this is a bad thing?

[@bennydreamly]

Yeah using the asterisk is fine for some things but it’s generally easier to just do import library and do library.thingyouwant

[@vi_k]

​​@@domojestic4155 at one point in this video Bog tried to name a function "color" saw that it highlighted green and changed it to "fun_color". The reason it was green is because the variable "color" is defined somewhere in manim. If you don't know every single thing in a library (nobody does really) overloading like this can lead to unforseen issues, where you accidentally name a variable the same name as something mission critical to the library's functionality. Which is why usually just doing `import manim` and accessing `manim.color` would be the better way to do it since there is no possibility accidental overloading

[@extrastuff9352]

For virtually every other case, yes, but apparently it's standard practice for Manim. Since it's not really for building other software, I think it's fine.

[@vi_k]

@@extrastuff9352 I don't have that much experience with Manim specifically but I'd understand if that were the case. However I'd still prefer to just `import manim` when using it myself

[@gus2603]

Is crazy how much you learn from a person by looking at how they code, like it feels too intimate. Love your videos.

28:51 I can't comprehend how you were able to reconstruct your awkward early thinking and put it in the video hours or days afterwards. So much self consciousness. I'll have a look into Manim.

Being a professional software developer in Python and Java and someone who recently learned and started using Manim... I love this video. ❤️

[@AroAce_Psychopath]

Fun fact. range(n) is a function that returns an array filled with numbers from 0 to n-1 making it the length of n. Considering this the conclusion here is that for...in loop works with arrays by default hence ya can do for i in array instead of for i in range(len(array)). Good luck in future coding!!!

[@Artimis.depressed]

13:39 little tip: use enumerate(), it gives you both the thing you're looping (the value you get in `i` when y out do `for i in x`) over AND the index of it (amount of times you've looped)

[@Cipherify7]

I've been thinking to learn how to use vim science your last video and I got very excited when this video popped up. And I learned a bit of the basics do thank you :)

[@ProgrammerPenguin]

9:55 explaination: so in the func color function you're returning x as a tuple by incasing it in () return isn't a function, its a keyword like if while and so it doesn't need parenthesis. 11:05 explanation: g and s1 are variables not a function you can call.

[@exolyne.]

actually python interprets parenthesis as tuples only when there are zero or more than one objects inside it. () -> tuple (x) -> x (None,) -> tuple (because of the comma)

[@ttakuyaki]

Very nice to see someone with a normal level of programming and starting small, instead of hitting you with those inverted projection matrix squared to the proportional of their normal of their cubic calculus normalized

[@Exdia]

Tip for 6:42: when you want to increment a vertical line of numbers, you can enter Visual Block mode by pressing Ctrl+V, select all the numbers below, press G and then press Ctrl+A to increment all of them. Note that you’ll have to start your selection from the second number in the set, as when you select the first one, it’ll get incremented too. Credit to ThePrimagen for this tip

white wave is changing, when it’s supposed to be ‘moving’, unlike 3blue1brown. possibly because of the group of waves being moved individually, and not creating one single white wave to shift on x axis?

[@Shy-Shadow]

the waves animation reminds me of those animations that show our solar system moving with all the planets also moving around the sun

[@Ghostbutfromdestiny2]

Try using the enumerate function more when you need the indice and a value from a list (example below): ```py for indice, value in enumerate(x): print(f"{indice}

[@oussamawahbi4976]

a trick in python u can use to loop through two lists at the same time for example in the function `fun_color(x)` is to use the `zip()` iterator like so `for i, color in zip(x, colors): i.set_color(color)`

[@Pantelisduke]

Bog in two months: "The LaTeX experience" Also, you should use more descriptive variable names, you'll hate yourself so much less if you don't have to remember you shortened 'legacyHandlers' to 'legHands' then to 'feet' then to 'ft'. That and use enumerate in python so you can get both the value and index of an element in a list in a for loop.

[@hed9696]

Maybe you see this, maybe you don't, but for yanking a text surrounded by whitespace in vim like ' np.sin(x/...) ' you can use textobjects: Yanking the text: yiW yank inside word Selecting the text: viW visual inside word 'W' is a word surrounded by whitespace. And you can switch out the 'i' for an 'a' (around) if you also need the space after the word. There a a lot of other textobject like strings, brackets, sentences or paragraphs. I wish I would have learned this earlier, when starting with vim.

In half of those problems, everything will look absolutely borked right until you get all 20 little details exactly correct. There is no awesome best framework that will save you from this, they will all just organise those tiny little details into different places, but in general they'll all still be there and need tweaking.
