The above is incredibly beautiful, but it means nothing to me.
If someone were to explain to me what Prose.io and Jekyll are, or how GitHub works, and what repositories are, I’d be interested. Probably I’d learn something from following the links. But, you know, I’ve followed a very large number of such like links and not ever, almost, really learned anything. I mean, I know about all sorts of stuff, but something I can actually use?
Not sure.
Strangely, there are certain fundamentals I feel I am able to make sense of. First among these seems to be that everything in memory is a string, and you compute by parsing the string. The original function, then, is: find the first instance after bit n of the combination of bits c, returning the number of the first bit in the return … I guess.
So the thing about a string is this … If you compare it to a cloud, for instance, in a cloud, you don’t know which bit is next, but in a string, you do, and you know which bit is previous. There’s actually data stored in the order of the bits in a string, and each bit contributes to the meaning of the next bit, perhaps somehow exponentially.
Variable assignments are fundamental. Anyone can understand them. Var anyname = some string, and you point it to some string, like, document.getElementById(“someelement”).innerHTML. Then you search some string for a string that matches anyname. Computer, starting from position zero, inspect each element in thisstring to see if it and the successive anyname.length — 1 bits of thisstring match anyname, and, if it’s a match, return the position of the first bit of the match in thisstring.
