Chances are the commenter you’re responding to threw the “x” after Mac OS as that is the common verbiage for the operating system, not realizing that X represents a version number. I know I’ve made this mistake countless times as well.
I’m not an expert in many things, and someone else will likely give a better answer, but..
I usually start with exposure. Watch videos, listen to podcasts, watch lessons, in the area of interest. I’ll be presented with new terms and concepts without any context. Eventually as I continue to do this I build just a little bit of context, and before I know it I’m asking myself questions. “Why does x do y to z?”
At this point the search engines usually can tell that I’m a newbie to the field and will return so very low level explanations of my questions. Maybe they are right, maybe they are vague, I can’t really tell at this point.
Once I’ve found some answers that appear to make sense, I’ll have built up enough confidence in my understanding to dive in deeper.
At this point I usually seek out a lesson or course on the subject. This is when the learning curve resets. Any confidence I had is often out the window and I begin to build some actual context around the terms and concepts I exposed myself to early on.
From there on, it’s all uphill. Taking lessons from many sources until I’ve gained a beginners understanding of the area of interest. Eventually something clicks and I realize I’m ready for the next lesson.
I might not be completely ready to complete the next lesson, but I feel comfortable starting this process over again from a slightly higher level of understanding.
It certainly helps that my employer provides us with a great learning/lesson platform that I can either listen in on passively while I do other work (to begin the exposure part), and begin taking lessons and completing assignments when I’ve gained a bit of confidence.
The author stated that the only logical starting point is to learn to solve problems in a dialect of SQL then approach problems of the same type in other dialects of SQL. You’re entirely right, and the author seems to agree to an extent.
Very cool! I was slightly confused when I aimed right at the opponent at full force and was prompted to click to restart. Definitely was a bit more interesting once I stopped doing that. Thanks for sharing.
Last time I heard about one of these they turned out to be financially supported by the NSA. Not making any claims here, but in the scenario of alternative protocols popping up on the web, how can one be sure this the same thing is not going on here as stated in my first sentence?
I feel like there are two camps of SSG’ers. One camp who chooses an SSG to offset their reliance on big tech, and the other who see big tech reliance as an acceptable means of publishing. Not sure which is right, but my personal inclination is to steer away from this reliance.
About a year ago I broke the Facebook doom scroll habit by setting an iOS shortcut to open a HN in a browser instead. Now I habitually doom scroll HN. Adding an element of incentive is a much better idea.
Am I the only one that associates waffle houses with the most decrepit corners of a city? Specifically the areas where major interstates intersect, and prostitution, drug use, and homelessness peak?
I'm sure there are some nicer waffle houses down south, or away from the city. ..But that is unfortunately what I personally associate waffle houses with. Please tell me it's not this way across the US.
