The first ‘4’ in 404 (and all 4xx errors) means the problem happened on the requesting (frontend) side, whereas a 5xx error means the problem happened on the backend.

Coding/programming can be used for fun, too!! there’s a coding language specific to a virtual world (second life) that adds a third dimension to things without the need for much more than a regular mid-to-high-end gaming computer, since you can make basic shapes and string them together in sandboxes for free. The language is called LSL and Visual Studio Code for Windows has plugins for it, though there is also an in-world interface for it too. Lots of people make fun and interesting scripts and gadgets. Things like vehicles and board games and experiences.

Dude. You’re a professor of computer science, and you don’t even know how to pronounce Ada? And I think I heard you call Alan Turing “Alan Turning”. Wow. You’re spreading bad information with this video. Also Python IS NOT a C derivative. Maybe you could say it’s an ALGOL derivative, but it definitely is NOT C like (no braces, Python uses indentation for control structure delineation, etc). I appreciate the enthusiasm, but man, I thought the standards for being a professor @ Stanford were higher.
Nothing
October 6, 2022 at 10:39 pm
Actually, the designer/s behind Python found C asy a very strong influence. He makes a better professor than you because he can actually explain it in simpler terms for normal people to understand, without using technical jargon and still making the most sense.
James Bond
October 7, 2022 at 12:57 am
@Nothing it’s interesting that you say that. You don’t know anything about me. You don’t know if I’m eloquent, or if I’m able to break things down into very simple terminology for beginners, or really anything. So I don’t know how you can conclude that he is a better professor than I am.

I was watching this video at some point muted with subtitles on. Man, I couldn’t keep up with the speed they were changing… I think you should slow down a bit with the speed both of the speech and of minimizing the gaps while editing the video. Pauses are critical in understanding what one hears in verbal speech. I mean, you’re not acting a role, or singing a tune. You’re talking science dude. Give non native speakers a break to hear and understand what you want to say. By the way, i turned the video speed down to 0.5 just to check and boy, you sound pretty… smokey. lol

HTTP 404 would be better described as resource not found, wether it is a webpage, a database entry, a file, … that error code is a standardized way for your app’s backend to tell you it wasn’t able to find it. Could of tied it to your backend answer too.

Stackoverflow is not the only option and not every serious coder is on it. The community aspect on SO is generally great but there is also very large amount of toxicity and many people don’t get their questions answered but often just have them get closed. There are alternatives where people are much friendlier and likely to help.

It’s not true that computers can’t run Java as fast as C or C++. It frequently runs faster. The reason C and C++ are used for things like games is that they can have better access to hardware, although Java is improving with its Vector API and foreign function and memory APIs.

I always liked teaching Intro to Computers for questions just like these. People in IT take for granted the vast knowledge they know about how technology affects the world. Coding is important because at the time of this comment, I think it would be quite difficult to find someone on the planet not affected by technology in some way (and that technology runs on code). Traffic systems, water systems, the web, automobiles, appliances, entertainment, medical equipment, and many other things use code. Yes – even that really old sprinkling system and garage door use code.

How useful is SQL SVR (sorry if I misspelled that)
An old friend of mine almost exclusively uses it while another friend (who teaches computer science) said she hasn’t used it in 20-30+ years

at 7:00 he oversimplifies the python script, it does not execute the main function on its own, you have to call it, but most of the time people use main and a check to see if you are directly running the script and not loading it as a library. but any code outside of the main stuff will get executed, unlike most other programing languages.

I think in common modern parlance, coding is this mysterious word that is loaded with the idea that anything that teaches logical iteration through a sequence is “coding“.
I think this gives people the idea that just because they learn some rudimentary thing intended to teach fundamentals, that they will suddenly know how to program for NASA or CERN. I think there is a big difference between teaching a little bit of logic versus how to create data structures or object oriented programming. It makes me disappointed to see places presenting stem as some thing that is truly accessible to everyone, and while there are some basic ideas, truly becoming an engineer or mathematician or scientist requires years of study and a level of intelligence that is generally higher than average.

I like the question about programming vs. coding.
I would say that the difference is that programming is a job description, coding is what you do on a given day.

I would say C was influenced by Pascal – which, itself, was influenced by Algol (mostly 60 but some of 68).

I wish I would’ve got this guy as our COMPUTER teacher when I was in High School. Man…..the Computer teacher that we had, taught us BASIC and he didn’t even told us what is programming, what are the different types of programming languages available at those times, why to use BASIC commands such as 10 CLS, 20 PRINT ETC ETC. along with the different methods of PUNISHMENT. He really sucked as a teacher.

That is not what error 404 means at all… Error 404 means File Not Found; however, error message redirection has become a norm… so people don’t usually ever see that 404 is trying to access any file that quite literally does not exist on the server. They’ll see a similarly designed site to that of which they were looking that says hey that webpage doesn’t exist and so forth.
Letting the browser actually handle this error message delivery is how it used to be. So you would usually only ever see Error 500 – Internal Server Error as a result.

I think that the shortest piece of code that changed the world is actually matrix multiplication code. Almost every important calculation contains matrix multiplication under the hood. The use cases where matrix multiplications are the backbone contains image and audio processing, data transmission and many more including mentioned back propagation algorithm. So simple yet so important:
def matrix_multiplication(a,b):
c = zeros(a.rows, b.cols)
for i in range(a.rows):
for j in range(b.cols):
for k in range(a.cols):
c[i,j] += a[i,k] * b[k,j]
return c

My entire life I’ve always had a fascination for computers, coding, and all of the amazing things humans have been able to create with it. Over the last 4 years of my Computer Science degree, I hadn’t even realized that I’ve slowly begun to forget ever having that passion. It’s just sort of become a fact of life for me nowadays. But that last question “Why is coding important?” and Chris’s answer really brought a lot back to me of my own childlike sense of wonder and passion for all things computation. Nothing like a beginner’s mind 🙂

7:30 don’t think it was mentioned (I can be oblivious) but that code won’t run in a Python interpreter until calling the main function
