Thanks, donated this way!

For some ideas of what to do, this post by Teri Kanefield has a list of concrete actions that you can take: https://terikanefield.com/things-to-do/

Very much appreciated.

I have been using some of the learning resources, specifically this one https://linuxjourney.com/. I hope the video recommendations are helpful to you but I am kicking myself for not adding “also I really hate watching videos and would prefer to read something” to my original post. I have not actually made the switch yet, I want to back up my files first. Bought a new external hard drive with enough space. It was nonfunctional. Had to send it back for a warranty replacement and am waiting on the new drive to show up. Will reply again if I remember once I actually manage to switch over.

!linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev for people who that link is not working for. (I, personally, get a couldnt_find_post error.)

Sometimes I have been told my links don’t work by some other people, but they work for me logged in and logged out. Wonder if it’s that we’re using different clients, and if your link would work for the people who cannot open my link successfully.

I asked something similar a few days ago, the responses here might help you too

Also, what do you mean, OP, by “do you have perfect recall or an average human byte”? Are you thinking of information in terms of bits and that people can only keep a limited amount of things in working memory at a time?

What show is this?

I enjoyed this animation of the meme in the OP.

I think that would be a great situation to be in.

You have created a cool thing a lot of people use, by being good at something. You’ve done something.

Also, people have no idea who you are. Nobody is digging through your trash, harassing the people you love, taking pictures of you wherever you go including on your bad hair days, etc. You’re just some guy.

This feels like me wanting to learn Hare because I like rabbits, which I bring up because someone left this reply for me and I think it applies to you too:

That is such a sweet reason! Whimsical decisions like this can be some of the best. Life demands a bit of whimsy every now and then.

I was going to learn !hare@programming.dev just because it is called “Hare” and I like rabbits, but then I saw that I am not on a supported OS.

you’re they type to micro commit

Thanks for a much shorter and better way to explain this tendency of mine and why I rebase a lot, yoinking this phrase.

I literally just posted this in !software_gore@programming.dev because they had the same energy so I found it on the original Reddit post remembered this one too. Great minds think alike?

“Dear Mr. Architect!” is such a charming start to the letter, sort of getting “kid’s letter to Santa” vibes if the kid dreamed of being an architect.

Too bad the rest of the letter isn’t quite as charming :P

Shamelessly stolen from a Reddit post that made me laugh when I randomly remembered it today. Figured it was worth reposting to Lemmy if I laughed upon remembering it and not just upon first sight.

1. I can easily bend in half and reach past my toes, but this is another ask entirely.
2. Even if I could do this, I don’t have eyes in my back or a computer screen in my knees.

Your comment made me curious, so I looked around the website and found this.

Our dataset documents Texas death row inmates executed from 1976, when the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty, to the present.

On one level, the data is simply a part of a mundane programming book. On another, each row represents immense suffering, lives lost, and in some cases amazing redemption and acceptance. In preparing for this dataset, I was deeply moved by a number of the statements and found myself re-evaluting my position on capital punishment. I hope that as we examine the data, you too will contemplate the deeper issues at play.

Just a warning for folks who might not be in a good mental spot for seeing this in their SQL tutorial right now, or even just if it wouldn’t be to your personal tastes. It’s not your average school exercise but with morbid flavoring, the site really integrates its data. It provides a lot more information about capital punishment than you strictly need to solve the database problems. That works nicely with their intention of “Exercises should be realistic and substantial”.

Likewise, the exercises here have been designed to introduce increasingly sophisticated SQL techniques while exploring the dataset in ways that people would actually be interested in.

The survey creator will not see your suggestion, because they are over on Reddit. OP just reposted this survey for the benefit of Fediverse users.
