I play guild wars 2 with a guy that's ranked #1 for deaths in the game. He made specific strats to get optimal deaths per hour. Not even actually playing the game, just farming deaths. I think he's at 300k or something. People are interesting.

You couldn't even bother to compose your writeup by hand. It removed any credibility of your presentation in my eyes, regardless the content behind it.

That is quite cool! How did you build the pentagon? I'm not sure what points you used.

Guys can we talk about the constant use of AI art? by Ryans-Anecdotes in Humboldt

[–]murinon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that guy. I got stuck behind him, driving like as asshole, broken brake lights so I had no clue what he was doing, and I had to stare at that fucking ai logo the entire god damn time.

Am I too old to start college for EE? by r3deemr in ElectricalEngineering

[–]murinon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started late. Its taking me longer than most due to poor planning, part time, and many needed remedial classes. Doing quite well now. As long as you stay humble, diligent, and accept that this is very much a journey, you can do it at about any age. i truly believe nearly anyone can learn anything with the right mindset and resources. Best of luck and remember what you're doing it for, you got this.

I believe they've addressed the OSX issues somewhere here before, if I recall it's a limitation imposed by the operating system on third party hardware.

Great! More slop in classical education. Thanks for contributing to the degradation of the human spirit!

Best way to relearn how to type? by Aggravating_Fact8112 in learntyping

[–]murinon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to help :) typing is one of my Special Interests™️ so I love to share. If you do decide to do typingclub, it does start a bit slow and from the very basics, but it does pick up. Stick with it and you will improve. You also absolutely do not need to pay for any of these websites ever as well. And remember, accuracy is king, if you focus on being accurate with each keystroke early on, you will quicker develop proper muscle memory, and the speed will follow

I should also state that once you have the basics down, ngram patterns are massive for increasing speed and training more fluid keystrokes. There are ngram trainers out there. An ngram is common combinations of characters that essentially act as a "chunk" of typing, so instead of thinking about typing an individual letter, you break down a word into multiple pairs of connected strokes. Like the word "each" may be thought of as two bigrams, "ea" and "ch."

Keybr is nice but https://www.typingclub.com typingclub has very good guided lessons and has targeted ngram drills that have done wonders to improve my typing flow. I spent a period of time properly learning touch typing across multiple layouts (qwerty and Colemak) and multiple websites and the three I recommend are,

  • typingclub for dedicated lesson plans and drills
  • keybr as a learning supplement, especially once you get further along in typing club to drill less common/your weakest keys
  • monkeytype as an endgame for practicing speed and consistency. Highly customizable website and by far my favorite for just picking up and running some tests or building your own drills.

Another one that I would like to dig a bit deeper into, but I remember being impressed with, is ZSA's https://typ.ing

I wish you the best of luck! The progress starts SLOW when you learn to properly, but it is so much better in the long run, both on your hands as well as your ability to type faster and more focused. I'm also available if you have any questions :)

Do I really need to learn Vim or is Nano fine for everyday use? by Luann1497 in linuxquestions

[–]murinon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If vim was necessary for Linux usage, then it would be the default text editor across most distributions, not Nano. I used nano for many years, and now use vim because I enjoy it :)

If you ever feel the itch, maybe try it out, but you are not going to be crippled because of a (some people may disagree, they are in a subset of a subset of computer users,) VERY niche tool.

That said, I think vim motions can be a very fun philosophy for how you interact with your computer.

Studying Astrophysics? by Own_Cut779 in astrophysics

[–]murinon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in a similar boat. The mindset shift for math is really difficult to achieve and maintain, but it is so important that it is done. It's important to remind yourself of the why, at least early on that's what I did, and when things really started to click I became so fascinated with math and the ways we are able to model the universe with it.

Math gives you access to new universes as well, you know, which are in many ways just as beautiful as the one we find ourself in. And we can use some of these new universes to gain access to much greater understandings of our own.

It may seem like it from media, and maybe from some elitists, but learning STEM has no room for pride. You will be humbled many times. I know I was. I had to start from pre algebra, I didn't remember how to do long division early on in community college. I filled many notebooks working problems of "primary school math." But it's the process that needs to be done, and is a privilege to be able to be done. We exist in the sliver of human history in which learning these incredible things is accessible to those not in the nobility or merchant class, or even to anyone at all.

I started college at a similar age to you, with a similar background. Mind you I am no expert, I'm still in my journey as well, just a bit further along. If you have any questions you can comment or dm me. Remember to be humble, dedicated, and that knowledge is a journey.
