All this talk of learning has reminded me of an experience.
Long ago, on a website I do not recall. I read an article. It highlighted a solo game project, where the dev was a teenager who self taught programming. He had created a Link's Awakening type 2d game, one level.
The first version of the article praised the effort and focused on, actually doing something. But! there was an ocean of feedback on the game and the article, about how it was not coded with best practices. The dev even used GOTO (GASP!).
The second version of the article focused on learning best practices and not getting ahead of yourself.
What is the moral of this story? Well, the lesson taught here, was that, your program's value isn't in the end result, but in the technical details of how you get there.
And, upon reflection of my own life, back before I was introduced to these ideals of implementation purity, I wrote my three most widely used programs xD One in AutoHotKeys, one in TIBasic, and one in MATLAB.
That was before my education on programming. Since starting my education, I've spent years learning, but produce few programs that other people or even myself use. It really is better to DO instead of to LEARN. Something I am now embracing. -

@Dan_Hulson The world is ready for you to embrace your destiny of "Nerd Dan the Creator of Things".
People will write things like "Dan did not rule lands with a sword, but he did rule the people's hearts with his art". -

@DEERBLOOD I have not seen any news on this matter. But the WR/DR pattern is to disown anyone the fed actually cracks down on, so you don't have to support them. -

@Hikari @IgnorantHussy probably a grave yard of bans, and people asking "what did they say?" -

@7 I thought the same about the warhammer ones, they did feel better than the historical themed total war.
To replicate the dynamics of a modern battle, even planet side has issues, mainly that organization goes out the window with too many participants, and it becomes a reactive swarm xD -

@7 What do you think of the Total War games? -

@7 Sort of feel like, real war is highly unbalanced. The balanced'ness of counter strike has always felt artificial to me. -

@johnbudd1350 @LuffWaffen_Luffy @TheEternalAnglo @DK_Dharmaraj In this thread, I've read a lot of
>trust the science
and
>it is too tiring for people with degrees to explain things to the uneducated
and
>this is widely accepted material
And, these are the reason Fauci gave, don't question, and if you do have a question, it would be too hard to explain it to your simple mind. I really can't help but laugh.
I am comparing them to Fauci, because they are speaking like Fauci... -

@LuffWaffen_Luffy @DK_Dharmaraj @TheEternalAnglo I'm not sure what DK actually believes.
Is he a big banger? How much leeway does he have for the creation of the universe? Is it okay for the universe to be created spread out, with light also created showing what is beyond the great expanses? Is it okay for the universe to be created long ago, but the earth created in place or from the sun at a later date?
The solar system could be much older than it appears, God could have sent angels to sweep the extra dust from the moon, to keep the earth from spinning to slowly over time, and to dump fuel into the sun so it isn't too small. Perhaps angels come and freeze more water on the comets so they don't completely disappear from the sky?
Honestly, every few months I learn that some part of medicine, or biology, or astronomy, or history is a fabrication. The mocking of people because they don't trust the science feels insane. So I assumed DK saying, learn physics was rhetorical. -

@LuffWaffen_Luffy @TheEternalAnglo @DK_Dharmaraj That made me laugh xD, though, I don't mind DK defending his views, and as a positive it has outed a lot of, what I had assumed were reasonable people, as believers in authoritarian science. "Just Trusting" the science didn't work for Fauci and it makes me cringe when I see it used to defend other things.
But, just because they are wrong, doesn't mean they should shut up forever xD -

@cirnog @deprecated_ii I don't remember without looking, but someone on here was arguing that evolutionary algorithms used by programmers proved evolution in nature.
My initial reaction was to point out, computer algorithms have to be crafted to avoid local minimums and mitigate the effects of input bias, in order to enumerate and evaluate enough possibilities to find viable solutions. (computer algorithms may also be able to bypass failing intermediaries).
His response was to insist that, these models (I assume he meant algorithms) as they grow become more resistant to these issues. And, that natures model is much larger than the computer models, so of course it will be able to avoid these issues and arrive at life, from atoms and natural forces.
I don't think this negates the issues I asserted. And, I think it is error to say nature has an very large and robust algorithm for guiding evolution (that sounds rather more like an argument for Intelligent Design using Evolution). But, I wasn't sure how to soundly overturn his argument. And, I'd appreciate your feedback, on my part or his part, or what ever you'd like to comment on xD -

@antichrist_hater @SuperSnekFriend Quantum computing is non-deterministic because of the imprecision in measuring the resulting state.
The best they can do to KNOW the result of the quantum calculation, is to do it several times, and gather a statistical certainty.
It would be like, if you had to examine pictures, where someone was holding up a certain number of fingers, but the resolution is too small, and sometimes 2 fingers are in the same pixel, so it appears to only be one. But, you have several pictures of each state, so by looking at all of them, you can tell that the most likely state is, in fact 2 fingers and not one. -

@SuperSnekFriend Nugger and AR-15 are in the minority from their sphere that hasn't blocked or muted me lol. But, for the ones that did, I guess if what I say, did upset them, and they don't want to read my stuff, that is fine.
I think we are looking for the people we resonate with. And, we separate from what causes us pain, and I think that is a good thing.
