Except this isn't weaseling words as much as you'd like to think. Many driving instructors use the metaphor that a car is a 2 ton bullet to their students.

All those looking for a fresh Myst-like experience should check out Quern: Undying Thoughts.

I would check out Quern. Quern is an excellent Myst style game and comes closest to Myst style puzzles. From what I've seen of the "The Witness" is looked to be the same maze puzzle but repeated throughout the game. I loved Johnathan Blow's "Braid" but I passed on the Witness after seeing some gameplay.

Hi,

I'm 30 and trying to relearn the math courses I did in college (Computer Science degree) and more. I am currently using Standford & MIT's open couseware. I feel like I am moving slower than I would if I were in a course but able to grasp the material better at this rate... I made good grades in my math courses but like you, I didn't have to use them in software engineering that much. I would like to get into a field that requires a stronger grasp of mathematics but also has a need for programming and computation (maybe machine learning or computational biology). I feel like I'm getting tired of being a software engineer (defense contractor) at a small company and looking for something higher level

"No one knows what actually happens in college or why it’s supposed to make you more successful."

I stopped reading after this line.

Anybody who takes what FEE says for more than a grain of salt, is in fact, 'religious'. When you understand that they are a libertarian think-tank, you would see the obvious bias against social infrastructure and would rather have our education system collapse than have smart, well educated citizens.

"Break out the champagne, and get busy doing real stuff in the real world. Don’t live your life by averages and aggregate data that reflect little more than the superstitions of the day."

Not everyone can be a successful drop out like Bill Gates

I fail to see how having a gun to your head is in any way true. Can you give any examples of this happening?

Tax evasion is a crime and you should go to jail (you are exploiting the benefits you have received from society). But big companies find tax loopholes all the time and they go to white-collar prisons or get away with it anyways.

"many giraffes are slaughtered just for their tails, which are considered a status symbol and have been used as a dowry when asking a bride’s father for his daughters hand in marriage in some cultures."

Humans are the most wasteful species.

But in reality no one has ever held a gun to your head because of taxes.

Honest question, can you just run simple symmetric encryption on your data before uploading to gapps?

Well, I just bought OpenGL SuperBible and was eventually going to go about making a simple game engine from scratch and learn the linear algebra required for graphics engines.

Would anyone still suggest learning OpenGL/building a graphics pipeline or just proceeding on to Kronos's Vulkan?

Why not https://eloquentjavascript.net/? The 2nd edition is still good from my understanding.

The author is also trying to update it and is close to their funding goal: https://eloquentjavascript.net/3rd_edition/
