Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Computational processes

Just as a sorcerer needs spells, a programmer needs code to do its bidding. Simple processes such as designing models with computer-aided design programs and controlling a robot arm in a factory are possible through expressing in code.

In order to study the idea of how code works, we need to study the idea of computational processes. Programming mainly need two things: processes which is a set of instructions and data which is the object being manipulated for various purposes. However, as one may dig into the rabbithole, they find that the hard line of separation between processes and data is a myth and unlocks more possibilities to solve problems.
