    I've been told to learn how to flowchart and always flowchart a process before typing a single line of code.

    Now that you all have spoken about, you've put some confidence in me to take up Python and have fun with the language itself. Thank you all for your kind words and the valuable time given. Much appreciated.

    Write. Programs. Algorithms don't matter, language doesn't matter. You are just learning, at this point in time the best thing to do is write programs. Python is a great place to start and there is plenty of resources to get you started, here is some from the official website.

    The only way you learn to swim is by getting wet, no one starts out by doing the butterfly. Programming is the same, you learn by writing code, no programmer started by writing Fortnite. Are there right ways and wrong ways to do things? sure are, But for now, at the start, you don't need to know why merge sort is good and bubble sort is bad, what on earth "O n" or "O n2" mean, what the hell is GIT. you just need to write programs.

    i find this website really interactive and cool. and a great place to learn as it is very visual, they have a bunch of languages and python is one of them.

    Master Python first. You'll just make it harder for yourself if you try to learn C on top of that, it's a completely different beast, Java is yet another different beast from both of those. In regards of language/level of abstraction/technology specifics at least. You'll get lost in the details, you won't be as effective as fast. Python is much faster to get started with. Even if it's not the best language to do things with in the long long run, arguably, I guess that's just an opinion anyway. Since you can have a professional career out of it still.

    No point in learning other languages just to learn python. Each of the languages have the same level of difficulty for learning. You must understand that you shouldn't be trying to learn python. You should be trying to learn programming. Python is just the tool (or language) to communicate with the pc. The principles of programming and the algorithms are the same in all languages. 
    Imagine replacing "programming" with "maths" in your question above. Learning spanish(java) of french(c++) won't help you better do maths(programming) in python(german).

    some basic programming and algorithms? if you have no basic awareness of algorithms and logic, you should look into that first, irrespective of what language you choose to learn afterwards.

    I'd argue you'll have an easier time learning how to program by doing it, rather than reading about programming techniques before you know how a programming language works. Look at more in depth topics like algorithms and their implementation later.

    I learned programming by writing a lot of code. There are great books for beginners out there that show you how to get into programming step by step and often tell you something about algorithms on the way.
    Depending what you want to use Python for (natural sciences, maths, technology, fun ) it might a good idea to look at books specifically tailored towards that field.

    This is great and do this too but you can also end up being very experienced in writing bad code. So be aware that you can probably do things in a better way and keep learning.

    Literacy?

    Python is commonly used as a first language to be able to introduce basic programming language features, logic, and algorithms. Most worthwhile introductory Python resources are going to include basic programming knowledge as well.

    Avast owns AVG since a few years ago. Both are bloated.
     
    The best free choices would be Kaspersky Home Free and Bitdefender Free.
     
    Avira AntiVir isn't bad either, but it recommends their VPN and other tools - a bit annoying advertisements.
     
    Comodo is free even for companies, but it requires a skilled user since it asks and asks and keeps asking.

    Kaspersky or Bitdefender and combine that with Malwarebytes, and you're good to go.

    Malwarebytes can do some more advanced scans as far as I know, but the free version does not do background protection. Therefore the best free setup is probably Kaspersky/Bitdefender (whichever you like) as a normal antivirus and Malwarebytes for manual on-demand scans.

    Ravz reacted to Master Disaster in what bios do you recommend for my board?   
    This is very very untrue. Only if a serious BIOS bug is caught after release or if a new revision is released with new CPU support will boards be updated OOTB.
     
    Always run the latest version, especially with ZEN where microcode is updated with BIOS updates.

    The LLC settings are used to change the VDroop when the CPU is under load.
    In newer BIOSes the lower the number, the lower the VDroop. Sometimes even more voltage under load.
     
    After googling i read that 0% LLC means the voltage will drop the most, and 100% will most likely not drop at all.
    As I have no experience on my own I cant tell you if that is really going to happen.
    So maybe try a setting like 50% and see if that changes anything at all. That should in the middle and safe for your setup.

    Are you running it at stock or with an overclock?
    That matters and reported temps are close to the limit.
     
    1.37v's isn't bad but if it can hit the speeds you want with less I'd do that. It should hit it's stock 3.5 speed with just 1.32v's used without issue and adjust things in turbo mode as needed on it's own.
    Even OC'ed to 4.0 shouldn't require 1.40v's if the chip and board themselves are good, 1.37v's should get you there no prob.

    Long as you leave a sufficient gap it will be ok, you can also get adapter sleds to mount the drive onto which will also give you some vibration resistance.

    Sure. All you need to do is make sure you have a permanent gap so no electrical parts can short circuit with the tray.
