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.

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.
