the learning process && the Kid Senshi Gandamu Syndrome

[legacy]

Cultural reference failure.

kernel crashes and core dump, attempting to debug it the topic is now "What pills were common in the 60s, 70s and 80s?"

the Kid Senshi Gandamu Syndrome: when one, who wants to build his mobile suit RX-78 secretly in the darkness of his garage, is not skilled enough (just to use an euphemism) to be aware about the effort behind the hood, and he/she doesn't believe in universities, because he/she believes that in no place is as good as the internet where "you can study Python in the morning, modern art after breakfast and quantum mechanics at night".

Interesting!

As result, it seems that the symptoms of the syndrome manifest themselves in the digital land of internet, people starting topics claiming to be able to write complex things from the scratch and without the need to have a good university background.

those guys believe that everything concerning computer science might be made without a solid engineer background, including the development their own assembler, their own C compiler, their own computer box from scratch, just to demonstrate that "universities are completely pointless", as they claim that the linear path of the learning process should be -1- having free time, and -2- an access to internet

What do you think about, guys? do you believe in university as the best the learning process ?

I can't argue with the benefits of a more structured approach that University provides. Especially if you find a Professor that, on the first day, has you building a CPU in the morning (literally compile from scratch your RISC5 processor and install to an FPGA), late morning you are working on your first graphics application, and after lunch you are installing PICL (PIC language) as your perfectly WORKING "minimalist, one pass compiler" for the PIC16c84. This is the perfect chip due to the very low instruction count it has. You already have a bi-direction serial com figured out. By evening you have fabricated a programmer and, quite possibly, have a PIC driving stepper motors, as only one example.

After all that, the only subject I see left out is interrupts in this little "coarse"...Probably because that will be your homework assignment.

The complete PICL language is described in the two files PICL.Mod(linker) and PICS.Mod(scanner):
