Why Are People Using Hello Kitty and Saying They Like It When They Know Nothing About It?

"I'm not sure that I understand the question. There really isn't much to know about Hello Kitty to like it. Hello Kitty started out as a marketing mascot for a coin purse in Japan in the early 1970s. She has evolved from a single item to an empire: Sanrio has countless items for sale, there are video games, manga and anime, and it's rather challenging to navigate the fandom without having some awareness about her, her sister, and the other characters. I mean, how many people know that Gudetama and Aggretsuko are also Sanrio characters? Probably more than don't. Besides, if what they like is that it's cute stuff, what's the harm? I know a lot about the characters because I grew up with Hello Kitty in the 1980s in the U.

S. and our exposure to her was a few toys; there have also been books about Hello Kitty that I used to read at the library, and I learned even more by reading about them online as I got older. Others may not get that invested in order to like it, and I'm not sure that they need to know more. I'm also not sure that it's a lie to like it when they know nothing about it. What is the lie? That they like the character? That they don't know anything beyond that? And why do they need to? I'm not sure it's all that important that people know more than just the cursory to enjoy it

Why we use Java and not Python?

Because Java is the better language, and more suited to large projects.Strict typing - This is probably the main reason. It formalises the development process, and prevents typing errors making it into shipping products. This may not seem like a big deal in a project 1000 lines long, but when you get to 10,000, or 100,000, then it's a big deal, a really big deal. It allows scaling, not at a performance level, but team size and everything else.Stability - Java is battle tested, stable and has been for a long time. The tools around it are also stable and proven. Nobody ever got fired for choosing Java, it's not an exciting choice, but it's usually the best one.Performance - Performance is rarely a problem in the real world, but when it is, it really is. The JVM is fast, and it's only getting faster. You aren't going to hit performance issues in the JVM unless you are doing something really weird. Threading 'just works' in Java.There was a survey in the UK once that showed 70% of learner drivers bought the brand of car they learned in. In my opinion, Python has a lot of users due to the same psychology. You learn in it, so you prefer it. It doesn't make it the best car, it doesn't make even a good car. (BTW, I learned in a stick shift Ford Focus, I didn't like it all.

)I'm not criticising Python, I've worked in it for well over a decade, it's not a bad choice, but it's never the best one

Is it difficult to learn assembly language?

I definitely agree that knowing how assembly works grants the programmer that extra level of confidence. Knowing that no matter how screwed up your problem is, when you get down to the assembly level, you find out exactly what the computer is doing and the results it is getting. From there, there is precious little that can't be figured out and fixed.

The gotcha is understanding the concepts of how things are done in assembly. You need to break down the problem to such a degree that most people don't want to deal with that level of abstraction of thought. Start small, like adding two numbers together, figure out what the registers do and why. Then do another add operation with an overflow. Analyze the differences again in registers. Embrace the stack and visualize in your head what the data is doing and what the pointers are doing.

Once you get comfortable with looking at assembly and making your own small programs, start learning other subsystems, the display is one of the easiest ones. Write sort algorithms with your data elements on the screen. That way you can easily visualize what is going on - once you slow it down that is.

Soon you will reach the first important realization when writing in assembly. EVERYTHING is numbers, that's it. You'll start thinking of how numbers are represented in different subsystems. You'll soon get an understanding of how numbers can be manipulated to represent solutions.

So no, learning the syntax of assembly isn't hard at all, but you do need to be prepared to learn new concepts of problem solving. And fortunately, there is lots of help on the Internet (Stack Overflow and others)

I am a beginner programmer. How do I get better?

If you are a good programmer you're not a beginner.You have to start somewhere, that's what a beginner is.With that said, what can you do as a beginner to become a good programmer?Never stop learning.

Ask questions.

Listen to feedback from The Elders (Those with more experience than you) but also be aware that they're not always right. Much of programming comes down to personal choice and preferences rather than a true right or wrong.Yes, you will break something in production. Own it, fix it, and make sure it doesn't happen again.QA/Testing is your friend. Your goal is always to hand perfect code to QA, but in reality it happens that we miss things, so when QA finds a bug or issue you shouldn't be upset, you should be ecstatic, because now you learned something AND you get to fix the issue before it was found by a customer in production.Fads are fads. Don't get caught up in the hype of the "current language/framework/tool", the world runs on COBOL, ColdFusion, PHP, and Java, between those languages there's work just about anywhere and it's not going away. Software developers have the collective attention-span of a gnat, we're always looking for the Better Thing. Don't buy into it, you don't need to use the latest thing to be a Real Programmer."Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

" - Edmund BurkeSomeone, somewhere, has probably solved the issue you're fighting with, do some searching before diving headlong into a problem, unless you want to.How can you be a good programmer as a beginner?

As a nurse, how do you deal with rude patients?

7 people wanna know my answer to this question, hu? OK Quora.I do my best to not react to it. This is the best thing to do with any abusive behavior. Even in our personal lives. Sure, its hard to not feel offended or triggered when Im called a white entitled privileged bitch 3 times in one week.

But I am a human, I am actually a very a caring nurse, and I truly try to make people feel better. In these cases this means protecting myself and anyone in the vicinity from this threat, including them. Which means not aggravating the behavior, and advancing to restraints and emergency psych meds as needed. I then chant I love my job I love my job as I saunter to the medication room in a sweaty ass forced-to-wear N-ninety-fu*king-5 mask, pull my meds and grab a spit mask while Im at it juuuust in case.The first I do while the patient is restrained and has finally calmed down from the meds is offer them a cup of ice cold water. They dont even know how thirsty they are. All that screaming and fighting leads to a very dry mouth. Then I basically dissociate and chart non-stop until they are out of restraints.I then remind myself that I will only be at this job another year, and that I am doing everything I can to run away from it and start a new life.

I then go home and do yoga, cuz thats what white privileged bitches do

How do I greet my dog?

Both my dogs are long haired and no matter how much I brush them they shed. I also have two cats who probably shed as well but it's not nearly as noticeable.When I get home they all are sitting at the door to greet me but since I'm in dress wear I prefer to change before anything else. Over the years they have grown accustomed to the fact that I change before greeting them and will wait patiently until I've changed clothes.Once I've changed we have a routine that while wasn't intensional works very well. I let the dogs outside and greet the cats first. They each are petted and fed and told that I missed them and to eat their supper.Next I let in both dogs and tell each of them how much I've missed them and that they have been very good boys and that I hope they had a good day without me.All this might seem strange but I have found that with having a daily routine they know what to expect and it's obvious that they are aware of our daily routine by the cues I give them. This isn't just for when I come home.

It's quite funny since i never realized that I even had a routine but when I adopted my second kitten 6 months ago he has followed into the same routine as the rest. When I say it's time for bed he's the first one up the stairs to head to the bedroom. When I come home and ask if he's hungry he jumps up and waits for me to fill his bowl with the other cat.

What is the output of the code below? Main() int *ptr (int*) malloc (sizeof(int)); *ptr4; printf ("%d", (*ptr) *ptr); Why?

The output is anything the compiler gives.Read along for the detailed explanation.The program :#include#includevoid main()int *ptr (int*) malloc (sizeof(int));*ptr4;printf ("%d", (*ptr) *ptr);Output:9The explanation :malloc(sizeof(int)); - malloc is a C function used to allocate the number of bytes specified dynamically. Here, sizeof(int) specifies the number of bytes to be allocated.

int *ptr(int*)malloc(sizeof(int)); - malloc always returns a void pointer which is type casted to an integer pointer and assigned to pointer ptr. Now ptr holds the address of location of size "sizeof(int)" (4 bytes in GCC).*ptr4; - This statements assigns the value 4 to the location whose address is specified by ptr.

So far, so good.

Evaluating the statement (*ptr) *ptr, it is an undefined statement in C since the variable is being modified twice without a sequence point. All proper compilers give warning for this. GCC gives warning: operation on 'ptr' may be undefined -Wsequence-pointPS - *The difference made by postfix may not be as assumed i.

e, *ptr being 6 in further operations. That is because increment operator has higher precedence than dereferencing operator '*'. Thus, without appropriate brackets, it evaluates to (ptr), which makes ptr to point to the next address location further along the program. This may either be harmless and return 0 (or some garbage) or dangerous if the next memory location is not available, and probably segfault (Segmentation Fault). For proper and intended operation, if any, always enclose the dereferencing operator * along with the pointer variable in parenthesis, as (*ptr) (*ptr).References:My answer about the property of x (prefix) and x (postfix) in c?C Operator Precedence Table"
