It's promising and I'm glad to hear such a depth-oriented study of making things, taking time is still a thing in a fast world. People are paying to study this, nice

I'm surprised no one posted Eric S Raymond's treatise on the whole thing in a lot more detail!

https://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

It reads a bit harsh in some places but well warranted IMHO.

Here's my created list I maintain: https://legends2k.github.io/note/cg_resources/ Do learn if it piques your curiosity and have the time. You're in for a blast and a lot of learning, that'll make you a better engineer, in many other fields of computer science too (you understand hardware, system programming, programmer's machine model, etc.).

Don't learn if you do it with a monetary end goal as it's fleeting, ephemeral and not guaranteed in this day and age.

Two if you're lucky, and work full time on it. More like 5+ plus if you are inexperienced/part time.

Yes, every user just gets a handle with no personal or bank info revealed and off you go. User keys in a UPI ID in any merchant site/app, get a push notification for approval in mobile app. Can associate multiple bank accounts to a UPI ID underneath. Approval will ask which account to debit from too. Can't get simpler than this.

This is exactly what India's UPI (Unified Payments Interface) works. No PII, just a UPI ID is given and the user gets a push notification in Android/iOS app for approval (with PIN or security enclave like fingerprint).

By the same token, AI came along and we all still have intelligence, needless, eh? I mean people reading and writing stuff has nothing to do with AI. I don't see how some people see everything as a zero-sum game.

I'm not sure I understand this. Most puzzles are number-crunching but very little to do with graphics (maybe one or two), so no usually OpenGL isn't used AFAIK.

Of course, folks may use it to visualise the puzzles but not to solve them.

Not sure about FreeCAD but got a lot done with Gimp, Inkscape and LibreOffice in my personal projects. Totally worth my time!

Sorry, hard disagree. Try to understand what `this` means in JS in its entirety and you'll agree it's by no stretch of the imagination a simple language. It's more mind-bending and hence _The Good Parts_.

I discovered notes from the man pages around 2020 but didn't use them as it was primarily a local repo feature. By default they don't get pushed or fetched. If course, one can configure it such that it's pushed and fetched, but that's a team decision and mine didn't vote for it.

This! Also my guess would be Kernighan or Pike aren't (weren't?) deployed into some random codebase every now and then, while most grugs are. When you build something from scratch then you can get by without debuggers, sure, but foreign codebase, a stupid grug like I can do much better with tools.

Nice to see Blender team being thanked as major contributors for Gitea :)
