Learn to program with Assembly by Jonathan Bartlett is what you’re looking for. I read the previous version and it was great.

From what I can tell, they simply made an observation. You're the one applying a value judgment to their statements. Pointing out that different tribes use rhetoric to "other" outsiders isn't creating a false equivalence.

They actually didn't and I don't know why you think they did.

As callous as it is, I think this is par for the course of human history. Progress demands sacrifice :/

Also, the 3D graphics and compiler courses on pikuma

Burn Math Class follows that tradition, although it starts pretty basic, so it requires some patience.

I've had a MathAcademy subscription for some time and it's quite good. I'd say it's best at generating problems and using spaced repetition to reinforce learning, but I think it falls short in explaining why something is useful or applicable. I don't know, most math education seems to be "here's an equation and this is how you solve it" and MathAcademy is undoubtedly the best at that, but I wish there were resources that were more like "here's how we discovered this, what we used to do before, why it's useful, and here's some scenarios where you'd use it."

I highly doubt your claim. There is no mechanism to send money internationally (at least in Canada) that is both near-instant and free or near-free.

Right, I use SOL, not Bitcoin. Transactions are pretty much instant and cost a couple cents.

If you know a way to pay someone across the world in seconds for cents in transaction fees, I’m open for alternatives.

That's actually quite worrisome. I don't really think twice about downloading the top result for things like PayPal or local banking apps if I get a new phone, for example.

Takes like these are so moronic it hurts. I just paid an artist across the globe for some icons; the transaction took seconds to resolve and cost me cents to send via SOL. The closest I've come to that is Canada's eTransfer system, but it only works in Canada.

Never thought about it like that. Thanks for sharing that perspective.

I'm happy the spam and investment FOMO has died down, but crypto has been insanely useful for making payments for me. It's hard to beat nearly instantaneous international payments with tiny fees.

I wouldn't say it's a Ponzi scheme, but I tend to agree that they aren't much different because the price of the stock or crypto only goes up by the demand for said security. The only thing that matters in the end for an investor is that there's someone down the line that will pay me more for my shares than I did. I don't really care if the valuation is based on pure perception (in the case of most crypto or GME) or solid fundamentals. I've been more successful trading on human psychology and pulling profits early than any other approach I've tried.

Two things I enjoy about crypto:

1) I can send large payments effortlessly. I tried to move large sums using eTransfers last year and the friction is just unreal. I don't give a shit about my bank's arbitrary monthly limits

2) Fuck inflation. The fact that I can't park my money without it losing its value over time is asinine. I shouldn't have to be forced to play the market or spend if I don't want to. Just let people save their damn money.

I've worked in tech in Vancouver for a decade. I wouldn't recommend it if the US is an option for you or if it's not remote work. The salaries are still quite far behind the US and the cost of living in any of the major cities will keep you from getting ahead. It's not bad though, it just could be better.

There's a new version of that book. Same author:

You can get Z690 DDR4 boards. That's what I had to resort to so we could test our software on the i5-12600k. Getting a CPU cooler with an LGA 1700 compatible bracket was actually the hardest part.

Yep. My first developer position was at an audio software company that made a plugin used by EDM artists. The year our software was cracked (2009ish), our sales dropped by 65%. Support tickets also nearly quadrupled including a massive increase in refund requests and chargebacks because customers realized they could get it for free instead.

I'm fairly certain he has considered it. I don't think it's possible to have a debate on free speech where that's not addressed. I touched on it in one of my other replies below:

"I'm not a proponent of unlimited free speech. It's those grey areas that concern me. Like, using Hitch's example, is holocaust denial hate speech or an incitement to violence? Under certain circumstances, I imagine it would be. It's easy for me to say it should be allowed because I know the majority of society right now would dismiss their claims, but at what point (in terms of the percentage of society) would I start to feel uneasy about the idea being discussed? Is it better then to censor it outright? What if, as Hitch says:

  ... Might contain a grain of historical truth; might, in any case, give people to think why do they know 
  what they think they already know.

I can't bring myself to tell someone else they can't consider the idea, but I can also understand why someone might want to censor that. So what does one do? I don't know, but my intuition points me to the former and hope that we've educated society enough to handle that."

Ironically, you come off as one of those "verysmart" persons you mock since Hitchens addresses the "shouting fire in a crowded theater" analogy in the same video I linked. At the beginning I might add.

I'd recommend Fred Baptiste's Python Deep Dive series on Udemy:

He has 4 courses spanning 130+ hours of content covering pretty much every aspect of Python at a deep level.

  My online banks keep getting worse, crypto keeps getting better.

That resonates with me after my bank shut down my ability to transfer money (via eTransfer) because I hit their arbitrary $20,000 limit for the month. I had to wait THREE weeks before I could send another transfer.

Yeah, I'm not sure. Even if a direct CAD pairing wasn't available, I've always been able to exchange my tokens for USDT and then exchange that for CAD and eTransfer it to my bank.
