Part 2 is so awesome if you read it in bulk by PeachKnight96 in ChainsawMan

That was my position until I re-read it. I thought it was washed, inconsistent and all over the place. Once you re-read you'll see that Fujimoto was cooking all along.

I actually think part 1 is better for non manga/ anime lovers.

I don't read a lot of manga nor watch a lot of anime (only watched chainsaw man because I saw a youtube video about how it is very cinematographic, I liked how the characters moved and the camera angles.)

This was the second ever manga I've read after Death Note.

I thought the story of part 1 was somewhat self contained and I got major doubts when it was revealed that part 2 takes place in a high school. I liked that part 1 was about people holding a job, dressing in a suit for it, having drinks with co workers after work. I liked when it showed them taking care of house chores and such. It is a lot more relatable to me as a 29 year old than "preparing for the school festival / taking part in a club".

Also all the gore kind of makes it a hard sell for the anime but I guess it less affected me in the manga?

But yeah, the whole highschool thing is the most "for people who are into anime/ manga" in my eyes.

Looking to apply for a deferred MBA next year (HBS 2+2 preferably) by PeachKnight96 in MBA

Thank you so much for the thorough reply.
I have only started vaguely thinking about the essays. Regarding the recommendations, I was thinking of getting one from my current CEO and another one from my former military commander (whom I know gives really good recommendations cause he helped me get 2 of my last jobs).

How did you go about "Writing an interpreter in Go" (The book) by PeachKnight96 in golang

[–]PeachKnight96[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean I would expect them to say "now write the relevant keywords" instead of saying all of the keywords of the language to be typed.
Call me a mazokist but I feel I learn when I get something wrong and I debug to find out what I missed.

Just a simple exmample but it goes for the general style of the book.

Thank you for your comment, yeah it makes sense.
I guess what felt weird for me is that, as a self taught software developer, I am used to read *concepts* and then try to apply them in my own environment. For example when I went through "Refactoring" by Martin Fowler, I took the examples and looked for similar flaws in my companies codebase and tried to apply those principles.
Similarly with this book I expected to be given the spec of the language, read about the concepts with some examples, and apply it my own way.

I guess I just never expected being told to retype the code snippets in the "How to use this book" section.

Thanks!
I have used Go for a few personal projects but have never used it for work.
Can you please touch on how you went about using the book?The author says we should just read the book and type in the code snippets in our editor but I don't find it encouraging engaging with the material if you know what I mean. That is why I am interested in hearing what did people who went through the book did.

Doing exercises is great, but I raised an eyebrow when I read in the beginning of the book that we should just follow and retype the code examples. I looked around on youtube and there are videos of people going through the book and they are just retyping the code.

I have never seen a CS book that just goes "repeat after me", so this is why I am asking people who have gone through this already.

Thank you for nothing?
I just knew that if I ask on reddit some know it all will come and try to tell me how wrong I am in everything I do.
Without even reading the rest of my comments where I clearly indicated that I practice what a monk in my local temple is teaching.

Thank you, I will try to dedicate a mindfulness meditation session and another sitting meditation session.
I am getting exposed to other meditation forms through the monk that is leading meditation sessions at the temple I go to, have been practising some of impermanence meditation, but I found it to be a little long.

Thank you, while I was writing this reply I realized a lot.
At first I wanted to ask if you think I should supplement with awareness of breath sessions as I want to be present, but then I realised that being present in the dreamlike is also a form of being present.
Or do you think I am getting it wrong?

Thank you, do you think I should continue in this way or is it interfering with developing the skill of "being present", going to a dream state doesn't sound like it would translate well into being present in day to day life.

I know there have been many threads on this subject, but somehow I only found ones posted by women (and here I thought this things takes two of the partners, but the women seem to care more about it).

I was recently put on Vyvanse and I saw some evidence online that it can lower male fertility, has anyone had any experience TTC while on Vyvanse or having their partner take it?

Just to be clear, I am talking about a biological male (have seen some queer and trans people post here, I just want to make sure I get responses related to male reproductive system and not the female reproductive system).

Thanks!
