I did bind it, but it still had a few annoyances (that I no longer remember what they are because it was a few years ago). I couldn't really find a reason for me to use it other than people recommending it. I guess my use case is a bit different from theirs or something. Either way, I'm used to regular Vim now, so I don't care to switch

I use regular vim. I hated typing the extra letter for neovim and didn't find myself using any of its extra features anyway.

Sometimes I copy and paste an awk command from online, but I can never remember how to write it myself

Sure beets the alternative

That meringue looks magnificent! Hope it was as tasty as it looks!

You need to pick a project to start out so you have a goal, then from there it's just google searches for each individual part.

I started learning in High School because I wanted to create a game. I had learned a little bit of Java from a book my dad gave me, but I was kind of in the same spot as you at first where I didn't know how to do anything other than follow along with the book.

But once I sat down with my goal to make a game, and just started Googling stuff, that's when it started to click.

Python has easy syntax, so that might be a good place to start. You could google: "Python game library" and it would pull up something like PyGame. Then you could look up "Pygame tutorial" which would give you a baseline on how to set up a window, etc. If you have a hard time with Python fundementals, you could just google "python for loop" or "python functions".

That's pretty much what my learning process looked like: start with a goal, google how to get started, google each problem as it comes up. I still follow that same process to this day, and I have a CS degree now.

At the end of the day, it's a skill just like anything else. Just takes practice. I don't think anyone is too dumb to learn it, but it depends on how much you want it. If it's not worth the effort for you then you probably never will.

As all things should be

Turns around

Lol, good one!

Is that Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey?!

Ever since I built my new PC a few months ago, my chart would be completely purple. I mostly play Indie games though, and they seem to have better Linux support

It's just a proof of concept. They wanted to keep it clean and easy to read while still showing off how to run the function in the background

Thinly sliced, deli hamster! Nice!

I guess with a name like that you'll never forget his gender! Do you just call him cookie for short? /j

More likely it's a stoppo

Seems like this would be pretty useful! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like she's in some hot water!

And make it double!

Just a white blur! Amazing!
