Software seems like overkill for mechanism. I were doing this I’d model the mechanism part manually, maybe a scaled-down mock-up out of foamboard, pins, tape, glue etc. if you’re unsure about a certain connection…
I felt the same as you OP, and I just kept calibrating those recommendations until I found the magic formula of exercise, schedule, etc. It took like, 10 years though. It sucks but keep trying. My breakthrough came from…
I’m not sure what the alternative is, in any field, unless your work is so boutique and specialized that nobody else does it (auteur filmmakers, maybe). I used to work in a design firm where estimates were even more…
I concur with this post. Shaum’s outlines are no-nonsense supplements for any math course that isn’t proof-based.
Basically I kept trying; IMO several “failures” were necessary. What really got me over the hump was taking up new hobbies that I couldn’t do hungover, and resetting my social life (meet friends for lunch, not drinks,…
I’m not sure about 8 hours but I’ve had some success with ~15hrs distributed throughout a week so the employer knows they can get in touch with me most days. Unfortunately I think this that finding these sorts of gigs…
I have successfully cultivated a “third speed” somewhere between close reading and skimming, which is helpful for cruising through casual books like Robert b Parker novels , etc, but I still prefer reading slowly as I…
I can second this - drag and click is not always necessary. If I am really in a pinch and I need to do stuff directly with beziers I try to 1) stylize the desired curve so that it uses as few control points as possible,…
It’s a lot bigger now and therefore has the same problems any big online community has (bad signal to noise ratio). I think this is made worse through the upvote system, but that’s purely my anecdotal take. The niche…
All the time.
Thanks for sharing. I don’t have a lot to add - just wanted to note that he was a fantastic writer and one I return to over and over and over. Nobody quite like him. I’m currently rereading The Emigrants.
I got a smartphone a couple of years ago. The only real difference for me is I no longer bring a camera around on shorter trips, and having a map app was helpful when I was living abroad. Life with a dumb phone was…
