"A tired, irritable, unskilled player is not appealing, and probably shouldn’t be looking for a relationship". "See how psychology just helped you become both rich and attractive?". I don't know, this article is a no from me. I believe there is more to life than chasing the presented "great ambitions" and this article doesn't reflect that.
Very fun! I remember doing a similar one back in the day. This time I started 1-2 levels out of curiosity and actually ended up completing version one lol.
Love it! I suppose it's possible to display animations right? If so it'd be very cool to play Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic with animated cards. Endless possibilities.
The optimal setup (I can think of) that I'm planning to do is to separate a Raspberry Pi on a VLAN and combine it with a cheap hosted reverse proxy from a third party. The reverse proxy part might be a luxury but it's just in case you don't want to expose your home network.
Unfortunately booster packs are the only way they can profit and create a meta game. The biggest scam of them all are the printing ratios. They will print a fairly strong game breaking and defining card but only in short prints meaning you will probably get 1 copy out of 2 boxes (boxes prices above 80$ depending on the game). Hence the high demand and low supply will rule even the secondary market adjusting prices the way the companies intended. That's how a game dies.
I would like to take it a step further and ask a question that has been bothering me a while. On my time in the academy I studied the following two books (regarding C):
In combination with other classes (and books) on networking, operation systems, data structures we covered a big variance of use cases with C. My question is: How do I take this to the next level? For example I feel I never missed a concept from those classes but when I see C code posted on a thread here it's probably something completely unreadable and complex. Can anyone provide resources to advance a little? What should I study if my goal is to make good and useful modern C software?
I feel like my typing is a bit abstract but I will be happy to clarify.
As a fresh reader of Marcus Aurelius I'm glad I understand that this criticism is poor. "Stoics do not deny themselves pleasure per se, but by denying importance to things outside of their control, they make it easy to inadvertently do so." That's not true. It's clear in the writings that the stoics were completely empathetic but they always kept a logical point of view meaning they wouldn't rant in god for example and eventually accept the harsh reality.
I love Miyazaki's work but sorry, it's a no from me. His point makes zero sense and he clearly can't understand the greatness behind this. Totally destroyed the other man's excitement with an invalid argument and for no reason at all. I feel sorry for the developer, sadly he showed this to the wrong person.
First of all, it's never late to party. I can give some insight in my also small experience (just graduated). Anyone is welcome to - and please do - correct me in case you disagree.
I will not include courses from university as references but I will tell you what I did through the years outside of it to enhance my knowledge.
I found a really cheap book titled "Python - Introduction to Computers". Basically it was an intro on the exact core points you mentioned (besides ML) but also gave related python code examples. For instance, "how does a packet travel in a network" here is the theory and here is a code example. It won't be of any use but in case you want to translate the chapters here is the book (https://www.cup.gr/book/isagong-stous-ypologistes-me-ti-glos...). You might also watch some free CS courses from unis online (https://pll.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-sc...).
In the mean time I was interested in micro controllers and I was watching YouTube guides on Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. Here is one of my favorite channels, very newbie friendly (https://www.youtube.com/c/Dronebotworkshop1). Made some stupid creations, had fun, and learned something.
Raspberry Pi's got me into linux. Hence I installed a linux based OS as my main system and read online guides, watched videos etc. Favorite intro place for me: https://linuxjourney.com
At the time I had a chance to get a free Cert related to networking. For a reference check Cisco CCNA (it wasn't that one but the topics were exactly the same). So I studied on the basics of networking, topologies etc. Again, best intro resources for me were on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PowerCertAnimatedVideos/playlists
For some time I ditched Python since I was into web dev and distributed systems. Studied other languages and web frameworks, other technologies like docker etc. Some courses on Coursera might be enough for you to start web dev in case you got bored of YouTube and needed something more structured.
Now you say "I feel like I am under peer pressure". I feel exactly the same. But don't really think of it. I know with the stuff I did/do I barely scratched the surface. And it is fine. We aren't magically born with knowledge and we all learn in a different pace. My goal is to learn or practice on something new every day. Not in a crazy way, take one or two hours a day for example and read about something you don't know or write a piece of software that does something new.
To sum up that's my small experience in tech so far. I hope I leave you with a good feeling about the future. Can't help you on PC making though, never been into it and my knowledge is limited.
