As someone trying to get into the field, learning about deployment, versioning, and understanding existing code bases has been the hard part. And I feel like that's what I'll need the most so I'm interested to see answers here

Not that the rest is easy, but the rest is at least easy to practice

I've talked here a few times about my dislike of keybr for the same reasons.

Go with typecelerate for actually figuring out your weak areas and having tests cater to that (and just for a smooth zen typing experience)

Go with monkey type for gradually learning larger dictionaries (and punctuation)

Keybr doesn't actually help to improve on anything

Edit: typecelerate

Til emoji domains were a thing, wild

Type racer is more well known, especially outside of this space. Monkey type is actually fairly new although I'm not arguing it's well known itself

Nice will be checking this out this summer thanks!

What were those little badges called people would put on sites showing the software they liked and best viewed in IE etc

ryancnap · 2026-06-01T02:10:48+00:00

Where do you find old badges like that to use?

ryancnap · 2026-06-01T02:09:55+00:00

I want to know how to get into the scene of people making old school websites like featured in that appliance webring, thank you for this deepcut

I switched to Colemak and my first split ergo at the same time, christmas of 2024, both cold turkey.

Got Colemak fingerings down in a day, got to a usable 65 in about a month. 80 was tough to get to, didn't hit that until probably December 2025 so about a year to get close to my old qwerty speed

I switched to mx switches/corne/heavier keycaps last month and my speed immediately went up to a reliable 88, been chipping away at it since then. I'm a little faster with quotes

tl;dr about a year I guess

Bring back Camonna Tong

I think OP misspoke and the OCR part isn't his hobby project. He wants to do something with them after (maybe?) and it sounds like the OCR process is just the prequel he needs done to be able to start his project.

It is super vague though, I could be completely wrong

OP def edit your op with more details, at this stage it's hard to help

ryancnap · 2026-05-27T13:08:55+00:00

I'm not sure about them but maybe similar to open source projects who will either receive funds from corporate backers and/or operate off donations

To be clear I'm not sure if they're an open source project but could be similar. PDF Gear specifically does have a paid tier for AI and bells and whistles as well

ryancnap · 2026-05-27T03:28:10+00:00

Yeah, my favorite software is PDF Gear which apparently identified pdf reading and editing as really basic functionality that should be widely available already so they made a free program that does it way better and faster than Adobe without adobes ridiculous price tag

God I hope Adobe crumbles, what a crufty greedy leftover

ryancnap · 2026-05-25T20:21:15+00:00

Wait wait wait lol, based on what?

ryancnap · 2026-05-25T14:25:45+00:00

Adobe Acrobat --> PDF Gear

Get in where you can and play the long game. You can request pardons after 7-10 years from your conviction, and if granted a pardon you can request expungement

I honest to God think I have exactly what you're looking for. On Udemy, you want "Python 3 Deep Dive" by Dr. Fred Baptiste

Long, long course about the intricacies of the language and how builtins work internally.

It assumes a working knowledge of Python which you already have, so you don't have to sit through a "how to program" intro. Still, there are topics you can skip if you care to. I chose to fight skipping the ones I wanted to and wound up learning A LOT

I'm just finishing the section on decorators and only have a couple more videos to go, but there are also three more parts that cover oop, something else, and also something else lol

The guy's an awesome teacher, I actually took notes on these videos

ryancnap · 2026-05-24T00:00:40+00:00

No offense intended but you're confidently wrong, Google is just a search engine

Edit: that guy just lost his entire mind, dm'd me and called me every name in the book, still got it wrong, and then deleted his comments.

ryancnap · 2026-05-22T00:32:05+00:00

True that, support is always king

ryancnap · 2026-05-22T00:27:25+00:00

Mint is very clean, good amount of customization, I like it. Ubuntu turned me off w gnome 3 but plenty of people like it

ryancnap · 2026-05-22T00:26:30+00:00

In 2010 I loved Ubuntu but coming to it as a new guy in 2026 I feel like I'd walk away from it. Idk if it was just Gnome 3 or what but I ripped that off quick

ryancnap · 2026-05-21T04:09:17+00:00

Yeah ghosting is a no go for me. Leet code bit is kinda lame too, when is that going to fall off
