I feel like assuming you already know at least one programming language it's a lot easier to pick up another one then it is to learn another language. But for the first one, I agree with others that it's like comparing appels to oranges.

Learning to code is way different than learning a language

    Post your account names and passwords here and disable 2FA, assuming that is possible.

    Also, if things in any way goes horribly wrong this was not my idea

    You can't send bits at a constant rate in this case. You essentialy get to send one very large number, the amount of time since your decided starting time (plus the one bit we were actually intended to use). The bit count grows logarithmicly with time

    Thus, the amount of bits n you can send over t time steps would be

    n = log(t)/log(2) + 1

    As an example, say they wait 8 seconds before sending you a 1. You have received the number 1000 and the bit 1. That's a total of 5 bits.

    If they choose to wait twice as long, 16 seconds, they have in effect transmitted the numbers 10000 and one additional bit, a total of 6 bits. Double the time but only one additional bit.

    "landhöjning", land raising, we call this in Sweden. Here it's a well known phenomenon here. But it was really cool to see a map, I didn't know it was so much faster in Canada. Also, I didn't know that other parts are moving down due to this

    No, as far as I know the convention is to measure by melted height. Although this may be more useful for actually understand how much snow fell. Measured by molten height, the actual snow is about ten times as deep

    Edit: I could be wrong, but this is the way that Yr and SMHI measure things

    We have basic words for the numbers zero to three, so why not use them to count?

    • None (0)
    • Single (1)
    • pair (2)
    • Multiple (3+ but we'll use it as three)

    So with those "digits" we can construct some numbers:

    1. Single
    2. pair
    3. Multiple
    4. Single nothing
    5. Single single
    6. Single pair
    7. Single multiple
    8. Pair of nothing
    9. Pair of singels
    10. Pair of pairs

    And of course we can construct bigger numbers like:
    42 = 4²×2+4¹×2+4⁰×2 = pair of pairs of pairs
    128 = 4³×2 = pair of absolute complete nothinges For this last one I just use some adjectives to repeat the "nothing" as it looks really weird with multiple nothing in a row.

    The distance between Stockholm and Gothenburg is a single multiple of none multiple multiples

    Could I have a single multiple of bananas please?
