That inward-spiralling learning curve never ends. `selective-display' is my new trick for the day. Thanks!

This is pretty much what I do as well. It seems so simple and obvious in the retrospect but it took me years to figure it out. Thanks for the write up

This is a a great tip. I also saw someone on the Graphics Programming Discord doing this. Time to chuck out that last row!

Ah just ctrl-c was it? Sometimes I just think way too difficult. Keep up the good work!

Ah, so that's what I've been doing wrong for 18 months. Thanks! I'll be putting this to good use :)

This same exact thing is happening to me! Like man, I implemented your sequence diagram your way!

It’s your brain. You could always do that in ZX Basic

You're getting hung up on tunable details. There's a way to find your way through them.

Yeah that seems to have worked for me.

Also it's a great idea to call it iterative deepening. Lower memory requirements but gets the job done anyway! I used to judge myself harshly for not getting something on the first read around, but going through multiple times is normal for me now.

I recognized this would be the cycle, so jumped to the end as the first step. Where I'm looping though is on keyboard layouts, and I may end up going for a matrix/split keyboard but I'm holding off.

Took me about 2 minutes to come up with:

start: left left right skipNext goto start continue: left goto continue

That's what I was taught back in undergrad. I can't quite remember the context, but I do remember having to start at the end and tracing backwards when looking at some simple programs.

If you find yourself in this spot again, Ctrl-r `cd /som` helps.

I watch a lot of tutorial channels and almost the first thing I (and I assumed everyone else!) do is sort by oldest first to find the start point... :-(

GhotiFish | karma 1946 | avg karma 1.66 · | 2014-06-21 00:21:20+00:00

well thanks for the tip... but I'm stuck on #19

... because I'm stuck on #19

I do this too. It makes it obvious exactly what line you are working on last and makes it impossible to continue without revisiting that line.

tip: try different combinations of options (sl -la, sl -DF, ...)

Just use the "following" tab. One of the best changes since musk is that now it's a prominent button and it remembers that setting, instead of tricking you into using the algorithm.

luckman212 | karma 809 | avg karma 1.81 · | 2022-04-21 17:38:26

Please share the correct way! I didn't realize I'd been doing it wrong all these years.
