Optimal Foraging Theory: The Game

Decision-Making: An Experiment

Participant Instructions

Let's play a game.

The aim is to have the most points at the end of the game.

On every turn of the game, you can either:

  • Lose 1 point and take a card. A card is worth points.

Why?

  • It's fun.
  • It's useful.
    • Knowledge of how languages work is useful when you hit a really weird bug.
    • It gives you an appreciation of how languages are designed for the use case. It reduces WTFs.
  • I can say I've built a programming language; looks great on the CV!
  • It lets me experiment - are there features that could be better? Is there a combination we haven't tried?
  • It's hard. I like hard challenges.

How did you learn?

SOLID Workshops

Workshop 1

What is SOLID?

Requirements always change. We need to write code that is able to change in the future. The process of doing so is usually called design. Design principles are often-cited rules that lead to easily-changed code. Design principles have been derived from the initial goal: to have easily-changed code. They are not arbitrary rules. SOLID principles are an often-used set of design principles.

An introduction to pointers in C

Let's assume we have a 16-bit computer with 4 words of memory (= 8 bytes, really underpowered!) that we can store variables in. Let's label them 01-04 and write out what's in them in binary:

Memory
00: 0000
01: 0000
02: 0000
03: 0000
