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.

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.

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.

They do, but JF has been more broadly supporting of GPUs than Plex in my experience.

I’d say hw enc/dec, flexibility on the UI, and plugins still being an options are the big ones.

Along with not having to disable online media sources. Also not having to deal with cert pinning is a major benefit too. No external outage breaks your use.

Going through your comments, it was way more than just that one. You’re pretty salty all over this thread, and you’re not really reading what people are saying, just repeating a lot.

So probably I would too, yeah.

Just an outside perspective here - its probably more about how you comment than what’s in it.

If you replied to me like that I’d block you too.

Centaurs have arms… So it fits as is imo

Ooh, $8 for the files! Nice

Edit: wish I could tag my saved comments/posts, going to have to put that in a client feature req…

Didn’t want to assume it wasn’t you!

Showed it to some family who also love ttrpg. If we ever get a chance to play I’d love to try and find a 3d print to paint… Going to have to look.

Maybe I’ll DM so I can remove all horses and make them all reverse centaurs…

Same, though its been two years since my last trip to europe (Spain specifically), it didn’t feel much different than when I went as far back as 20 years ago.

About the only real difference was the EU passports, and how much easier that was for people. Wish I could get one! Would also be a great backup plan for a return of insanity here in the US, but I don’t think I can qualify for any of them. Missed by one generation for citizenship by descent…

Anyway. Seems it was Japan in this case, Europe and South America (though its been maybe a decade or so since I went) dont seem any different to me. The middle east trips used to be kind of wonk, and I bet still are, but I’m not going to that area again anytime soon.

These are simply incredible in so many ways! Great job

I think you’re missing what I’m driving at, but that’s ok, you do you.

Not the person you replied to, and I’m not calling it spyware, but the moment I saw crypto integration I immediately lost all interest in Brave as an option. I personally don’t think any individual/group/org/whatever integrating crypto into their software is someone trustworthy (as mentioned my opinion), so I can understand others not trusting Brave either. Whether it does anything bad today or not.

There are a ton of remote controls with USB out there. Including ones that are remote control sized with a mini keyboard, presenter style air mouse built in, or even using remote controls on your phone (KDE connect is awesome for this).
