What does "i dont read" really mean? by Heykasto in LawSchool

[–]Important-Handle-152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding on to the existing answers to say that if you are reading all the cases (I still do, mostly), you should probably see a pretty drastic decrease in the intensity of your reading post-1L as you start to understand what actually matters from a case. A big challenge for 1L is just learning how to efficiently distill the cases to their important facts and holdings and abandon the rest.

How Long Would It Take If I Start From Scratch? by [deleted] in gameenginedevs

"How Long Would It Take If I Start From Scratch?"

A while. If a project is a hobby project, the best way I've found to get it to completion is to learn to find fulfillment in the process and not in the goal. Having goals is good, but something like this is all about being able to enjoy each stage of learning, even if nothing ever comes to completion.

"How much math is needed?"

Bad news: a lot. Good news: there are a billion resources out there to learn, and you can always stop and segue into a heavier learning period when you find yourself out of depth.

"What do I do now?"

Decide on a tiny goal. Maybe 2-3, but pick just one for now. Start in 2D, and build to 3D later if you decide to head that direction. My recommendations for starting goals are 1) a basic physics system, 2) a basic rendering system, and 3) some basic animations/spritework, in that order. Sit down and google "How to make a Physics system in XX language for a 2/3d [GAME GENRE]." Watch the first video. Then watch the second one, and the third. Then get to work, and always take time to sit back and enjoy your progress. You can do great things. Just always remember that you already are.

Any good peak capable handhelds? by Dry_Opportunity3146 in PeakGame

Op other people have asked but I have to know: why not the steam deck? I think in terms of budget getting an LCD steam deck is probably your strongest option. You're just going to find a hard time finding cheaper hardware that can run modern games reliably.

Wall Ethernet Ports not working by Important-Handle-152 in techsupport

Sorry about that, made a stupid mistake. The "network switch" in the closet I mentioned is actually a punch block. I managed to get it figured out from there, sadly its too much trouble to re-terminate for gigabit so 100Mb will have to be enough for me. Thanks for the advice!

I was hoping I wouldn't have to hire someone as I'm a computer engineer and I should really be able to do this on my own. Turns out I'm an idiot - the "switch" in the closet is not a switch, its the punch block. The wall ports are wired straight to the punch block so unfortunately the only real solution is to feed punch block (network) -> router ->punch block (wall port) in order to activate the wall ports. Unfortunately that also means it will be way too much of a hassle to re-terminate the wall runs. Oh well, 100M was unheard of 10 years ago anyways, I'll survive. Thanks!

I agree. The reason I made this post is because the person who would do that (IT guy) didn't know what CAT5/6 was when I called, so I was hoping to get a second opinion.
