I'm definitely in the same place. My philosophy is Avoid Amazon for everything at this point. The counterfeit is out of control

You speak as if $100 is a lot of money when it's not. Well it's true that you may be able to get something of equal quality for less, paying $100 for a high quality thermometer then I can always return and have replaced for years

Nice, this really IS exactly what I was describing: A dashboard with daily exercises for me to iterate on without having to do the toil of building one myself.

I've eyeing a gaming PC for a while. I game, do music production, amd also do i die game dev. If I buy an all in one I'll pay a $500 premium but I'll be able to actually acquire all the components. Hackernews, please tell me:

Honestly I just got really frustrated when I tried to sign up for the Justin guitar paid site and it just broke and wouldn't let me sign in and pay them.

I actually have a teacher so I can speak to this: a teacher helps a lot because they police my technique when they watch me play and point out errors in my technique. Additionally I do find it motivating to have someone else on my team help

I pay for an ultimate guitar subscription. I like the website okay, but I found that my copy of guitar pro is a bit better. Ultimate guitar would do everything I need if it had a way for me to highlight sections and then hit a a shortcut to

I should have included a summary of how I'm learning in my post haha. I take private lessons once a week, and strive for an hour a day practice. I have a good summary on my blog: https://cresten.pizza/blog/2020-01-

I've been learning guitar and ive been amazed at how bad lessons and education is for adult students. The apps i have used barely work and are extremely unambitious. Classes are so disorganized and i am constantly wading through materi

Funny, I feel like there is a healthy conservative movement in the US and you are literally surrounded by conservatives all the time. In fact I think 74 million of them voted in the last election. So please explain how being a white male ma

Why aren't people interested in working themselves to the bone for poverty wages and no benefits? Surely the social safety net is to blame.

If you haven't watched End of Evangelion and the sequel movies, those are my favorite parts of the series. Gurren Lagann is a wonderful homage to other mecha series. The series evolves in a REALLY interesting way, it blew my mind. Is w

I'm talking about specifically animation, though. There are plenty of examples of excellent novels and comic books from all over the world. However, they represent a completely different tier of production cost. Comics and novels are c

Serial Experiments Lain is everything wonderful about anime. It is violent, dark, scary. In summary: ADULT. Anime tells stories in a visual format that for years and years you simply could not get anywhere else. Adult genre fiction was not

I agree ansible is bad, but it is NOT the state of the art. Honestly its kind-of old and dead at this point replaced by stuff like CDKs. Programming in YAML sucks. YAML based solutions will always come up short because you cannot develop pr

No, montecarl, higher education should only be for kids who get the most obedience points in child jail. Please ignore the vast gulf of quality between child jails, if they were gifted students they would have risen to the top anyway.

The psychopath question is a valid one, and I think it is unfair to dismiss it entirely, so let me address it. There are some people who are born without empathy or morals, and they will do cruel and evil things just for kicks. I do think t

I don't like anti-natalism for the same reason I don't like anti-theism and militant veganism: It isn't an effective strategy for convincing people, and does little other than make people more set in their ways due to the bac
