- schwartzworld 6y agohow hard would it be to learn BASIC using Google? "Basic Programming" is going to have a lot of irrelevant results.
- identity0 6y agoTry it! Nearly every result is related to BASIC. Search engines have gotten very good at guessing what is and isn't a proper noun over the years.
- iso1631 6y agoDDG'd BASIC programming all the results were about BASIC, the wiki page to start with, then * BASIC Programming : 7 Steps - Instructables * Learn More - Just BASIC * The History of the BASIC Programming Language * Programming in BASIC: the absolute beginner tutorial * FreeBASIC Language | Home * PureBasic - A powerful BASIC programming language * Quite BASIC — fun, learning and nostalgia * World of Spectrum - Documentation - ZX Spectrum manual Only after all that is a non-basic link * Introduction | Programming for Beginners
- ithkuil 6y agoSearched BASIC programming on Google and if also returned results relevant to the actual programming language
- mdifrgechd 6y agoBASIC programming ironicly may return better results than if you search for something about a more mainstream current language e.g. python. I often find the first few results are some search engine spam... tutorialspoint or geeksforgeeks etc, when a link to the API would be the logical first result. (Usually the first link to the api is for 3.4 or some random version also)
- OscarCunningham 6y agoI've often wondered if any metallurgists have tried to run computer simulations of the annealing process. How would you find their research if they had?
- smartscience 6y agoActually yes :) At least the optimization crowd don't use the phase 'heat treatment', which helps somewhat. But who I really feel bad for is the recruiters trying to hire a chemist who specialises in the element lead.
- bigiain 6y agoBRB: going to SEO spam my simulated annealing NPM library homepage with "heat treatment"...
- rodw 6y agoI don't know whether they actually do it but it seems really easy to treat "BASIC" as a distinct idiomatic token from "basic" when the searcher bothers to get the casing right.
- danellis 6y agoThe Go community had to do the same. Go. A language created by a company that makes a well known search engine.
- abrowne 6y agoBut by staff who has worked on Plan 9, right?
- GauntletWizard 6y agoSometimes obscurity, as well as tweaking your nose at convention, is a feature.
- aasasd 6y agoThose people made it so that one-letter identifier names and junk like ‘fmt’ and ‘Fprintln(w)’ is again okay. So the unusable name fits the spirit quite well.
