Well I know what I’m looking for tonight

Start small

This is my strategy whenever I learn a new language. Start easy, escalate in complexity.

• print to the command line
• take input from the command line
• dumb blackjack game
• dumb blackjack game and store session results
• Make a fugly UI but keep the operations text
• Make a fugly UI and add basic graphics

Etc.

The basic game itself doesnt matter - make it hangman if you want. The idea is to get used to a language.

Keep doing that sort of thing, experimenting and learning, find ways to break things, find weird ways to solve problems, figure out ways to write even less lines of code. Find elements that you can make a function instead. Sanitize inputs excessively. Whatever.

Play around, and keep playing around. You’ll learn in no time.

For the record, this is how I learn, by doing. I have a really hard time sticking to tutorials, and I find examples far more helpful than a manual entry explanation of what something does. YMMV.

Thats right! I forgot about that part.

Cops are nightmarish levels of stupidity.

If I remember right, one cop brought his rifle in which got sucked into the MRI machine.

Even the warrant was based on a cop lying iirc. The basis boiled down to something like “energy use and tinted windows”, which, you know… Medical imaging and patient privacy.

Idiots and asswipes.

We have everything because there were different groups and changes along the way, and no one wanted to put in the effort or lose anything.

Now things are mostly in teams, but files are not on SharePoint but Box, making it even more ridiculous.

I loathe how messy my work laptop is with all these different variations of… Messaging.

Especially an aerospace company it would seem.

How far back do you think worker protections go, specifically in the context of punishment?

Strapping (beating someone with a leather strap… Sounds familiar here) was common in factories in the 1800s.

You didnt have to be a slave to get beat/whipped/more.

Unfortunately, I do, for one client for work as a requirement.

Its for their own tool though, so its their problem.

Oh definitely, I just didnt expect the Intel’s to increase so much or so quickly.

I was planning to pick one up to replace my GPU in my main workstation, and a second to be a transcoding workhorse with av1 support. Unfortunately waiting a bit longer likely won’t help considering the tariff nonsense, so I’ll probably end up buying last gen for less and waiting a few more years to go current.

I was juuuust thinking about getting a new GPU, so this was timely…

I thought the B580 was supposed to be around $250, but it seems they are retailing in the mid $300s or so. Maybe I’ll grab an older A series for now for my transcode box and wait a bit longer on my desktop upgrade.

Just to check and be sure its not hardware, have you done a clean boot and run a stress test?

Oh its definitely the bed they made.

I’ll take whatever positives I can get though

Considering the sweeping loss of maga in Texas, I’m thinking some Texans are starting to care, which is good to see.

I hate this so much.

I’m grateful I only know of one anti-vax looney toon at my kid’s school.

As an American, I wholeheartedly endorse this plan.

…

Hah!

Its more often that I get my hands on something in need of minor repair, perhaps a part. Newer devices arent always easy either - I’ve had trouble finding parts for a robo vac thats 5 yrs old, for example.

Well, guess my memory goofed that one up. I had remembered it being a thing (and I thought I remembered something in shoprite).

But hey, thats why you can’t always trust what you remember!

Its the only way I roll when it comes to ebooks

Actually its the only thing I’d like to find in an open comic reader for iOS (iPad, my only iOS device, work bought it for me). Panels supports it (paid version), but I have yet to find an open source solution for iOS that does (for comics specifically).

For android quite a few do out of the box. Definitely recommended.

I’d also recommend checking out a server that uses it to try it out. Calibre-server supports it if you want to check it out.

OPDS is the only real hard requirement for me in an eBook reader app.
