Great quote. Perhaps one of the best arguments for using Vim
I recommended the following: 1. Understand that you are a sinner and that you wrong people very bad. In other words, recognize that you need forgiveness yourself. 2. Recognize that the other person is sinful as well. 3. Re-live the moment and recognize that it hurts. 4. Realize that the other person fucked up really bad. Don't apologize for them. 5. Forgive them. Thinking that if you don't, the problem will hunt you (not the other person).
Repeat this process several times during several years and you will be able to do it.
I always blamed my dad, and my raising for my problems. My problems started being solved when I forgave my dad, and all the people that hurt me in the past.
I had to take responsibility and stop blaming others for my problems.
For homeschooled people I believe it is very tempting to blame homeschooling for their problems. It is too convenient. I don't know how to speak to women, homeschool problem. I don't know how to socialize, homeschool problem. I am alone, homeschool problem. Beware its not your case. Regards.
I would also suggest to try to create plain text cards. In the future it would be easier to search for material that you know is there but that you don't recall exactly.
Anki is great. However I am getting a little bit tired after the years. I now use it more as my knowledge base.
So true. You have to be very careful when writing python, because cool language idioms that you use (or function calls), may not have been introduced in say for example Python 3.5. So when someone runs it with a different interpreter it will not work.
Writing python scripts that not-python-knowing people could use, is an art.
Instead, I work for a company who's core was written in bash and perl, and those scripts still work today after 15 years.
The only safest investment in tech is touch typing.
The rest of the conquest was not due to the military genius of the Spanish, but rather that they allied with less powerful indian groups against the dominant indians groups.
>>Both the Spanish and American churches committed cultural genocide against American Indians on an enormous scale.
The indigenous populations were barbarians. They were cannibals, they tortured people sadistically. I am so grateful of what the Spanish did in America. I thank Spain and the church that they eradicated all those cultures and taught us Christianity.
Concerning the second point, it depends on many things. Probably if you had already a CS background and are pursuing a PhD in CS, your situation could be different. But if you pursued a PhD in the humanities (including economics) there are a lot of things you need to learn to be useful in tech.
If you regret not having enough partners. Don't regret, probably, you wouldn't have much anyway. Top 20% gets 80% of the action. You aren't in the top 20%.
Academia is awful. Again top 20% of the students get 80% of the attention and opportunities. Seems you aren't in the top 20%.
So what to do from here? First stop digging. If you don't want to marry the girl you are with, Cut the relation, don't be a moron, don't make her loose time. Go to a church and set your life in order. Hear Jordan Peterson on YouTube. Get an entry level job in tech. Go for data analyst or systems administrator. If you are able to land a developer job, great. Currently you are worth close to 0 to the market. You are useless, but you are smart and you can learn. Swallow your pride and get some useful skills.
Buy ASAP both "UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook" and "Practice of System and Network Administration".
UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook -> Will give you the necessary tech skills and concepts. This is a sysadmin bootcamp.
Practice of System and Network Administration -> Will show you how to the job right. This is more like 'how to manage' an operations team.
Each book is massive and will take you 1 month to read. I suggest you start with UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook.
