The book and the movie are quite rough, raw and extradry - i don’t mean this in a bad way. The mood reminds me more of eastern productions like tarkowsky (stalker) and the like.
I think thats a good point. Most things bore me because i am hindered to do the thing i want to do. But the solution still is trying to do your best at the boring things.
To be able to do that, one needs some kind of purpose-giving overall philosophy.
This looks very good. I shyed away from geometry nodes because i have no patience to learn all the 3d stuff and it seems a bit limited for use with custom code and houdini is far too complex. This seems like a good middleground..
15yrs ago i worked in an agency where we build everything with drupal. Intranets, websites, shops, apps.. At that time i hated it, but today i have to say that i am missing this kind of definitness and productivity.
I am not unable to validate. Its just hard to get answers to specific questions. Once you have the answer and the corresponding vocabulary its not hard to find by web search.
For me the most significant help it gave was when learning shaders. Of course there is a large amount of tutorials but i am the type of person who has a hard time learning in a linear way if there a unclear points open (which perhaps are solved some chapters later). This type of conquering much ground by asking many questions is perfect for me and it was the first time i did not immediately gave up on shaders after two hours or so.
If you start digging into new topics lets say shaders or art history or whatever .. its hands down the best tool and teacher i ever had. You can get a broad overview over topics and repeat asking „stupid“ questions which are either hard to find on the net or you would not dare to ask anyone. I think these downplaying comments are kind of embarrassing for this kind of achievement in technology.
I don’t care much about phones, but one thing which is definitely better on android is this family-link (is it called like that) integration. On iOS family-link doesnt work right and the integrated version sucks also.
Potential energy was converted into kinetic energy, not unlike when an apple falls to the ground. So the sun doesn’t really give away this energy, but its the system including these two masses.
Even being a freelance programmer, this reminds me a bit of the evolution of my own programming style until i hit burnout several years ago. Now i try to be that junior programmer again. Even if its good to know all these programming patterns its also helpful to know how to write compact and dense style. Pico8 and Dwitter helped me with that.
I used this service quite a bit in combination with drupal 5, shortly before it shut down. So 1.5 decades ago you could build quite large systems just by clicking stuff together.
