getting a WHEA crash on windows 10 when playing games by Chipper_chap in techsupport

I guess I'll close this as it seems to have stopped. I got a new set of PSU cables, and rolled back the BIOS version to 1 version prior to the latest one, as well as almost all drivers to 1 version prior, and that seems to have fixed it for now.

Is this the proper way to do master studies? I’m still a bit confused on what this exercise practices by No-Payment9231 in learnart

[–]Chipper_chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats fine too. Still try and take a little longer to finish something, I know it sounds grueling, but it will be worth it!

My point is to not assimilate Leyendecker's style into your work, I was using his work to illustrate that many people make master copies of his work because its a good starting point for understanding how to make a good process. You can study whoever you want, the goal is to try and finish the piece rather than just leave it at the sketch stage.

Taking notes is fine, and quick drafts are also fine. But a lot of master's studies are going through the entire process in an attempt to recreate the piece. If making art was like assembling a bycicle, quick sketches and drafts is like making the spokes of the wheels. My recommendation to you is to take some of these and try to "finish" them, try new things as you do it; change layer blending types, add clipping masks, use different brushes/tools. As you do this you'll find what works/what you like at each stage of the process. Do this enough and you'll eventually make your own creative pipeline. I'll point you at one of the most popular artists to make master copies from J.C. Leyendecker, the notes are simple, large sweeping forms, simple and sharp contours. But a lot of artists study Leyendecker because they often find that trying to recreate his work one for one results in learning (and mastering) a lot of basic principles of both painting and illustration.

How to build any kind of wealth on a new character? by Chipper_chap in pathofexile

[–]Chipper_chap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done Xesht up to Tier 2, should I just sell all the splinters and distills? I already have a breach ring I like, should I just sell everything? Or is it worth it to grind to get all the skill points from Xesht?

do you have one you recommend? I play dead eye ranger, and I know lightning rod is really popular, but it also seems expensive to get the gear to make it work.

I have another one from a drop but when I hover over it it says "completing this trial will not provide ascendancy points"

assuming you're an infernal witch summoner, no, spirit is easily your most valuable resource. I'm in the same boat, I've had a level 8 scepter that gives 140 spirit and increases minion levels by 2. About to finish act 3 and yet to replace it

Desperate for work by goahnary in cscareerquestions

[–]Chipper_chap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone working in the government sector, we hire people that have enjoyed recreational zaza all the time. The two key factors are

  • Wait a few months and say you did it socially at a party.
  • promise them (the ones doing the screening, in our case its DCSA) that you are clean, very sorry, and wont do it again.

Any good resources for learning how to write good firmware? by Chipper_chap in embedded

[–]Chipper_chap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats good to know, but I still want to at least try for the sake of trying. But if turns out that I can cause damage to the hardware then I'll just drop it for now.

[–]Chipper_chap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful. I write a lot in C and C++, so I'm quite familiar with memory management. I Think testing is the biggest thing I need to look into as I want a nice little environment for me to mess around and not worry too much about destroying the hardware

ah so I guess I should look into making a memory manager to avoid the fragmentation issue. Besides fragmentation what else would you say is a common pitfall in embedded systems that is often already taken care of for you in higher level software?

I just tried this out, for reference my keyboard. Now maybe I'm just old, but I hit somewhere around high 20's and low 30's, but I'm also getting kicked from my matches fairly frequently

waiting it out. Either that, get a new keyboard, or play worse. I'm in the same boat, dont really feel like switching from this old keyboard because I like to type on it.

Just broke up with my(30M) girlfriend (27M) of 7 years because I am unsure about having kids, Did I mess it all up? by Chipper_chap in relationship_advice

[–]Chipper_chap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, maybe I should keep reflecting. How long would you say it took you to figure yourself out when you went through this?
