There are plenty of good resources online. Here are some topics you probably wouldn’t see in an intro algos course (which I’ve actually used in my career). And I highly recommend finding the motivation for each of these in application rather than just learning them abstractly.
2001: A Space Odyssey
Just epic classical music.
Spirited Away
Joe Hisaishi fits the fantastical setting perfectly. Lots of bittersweet, exciting, and meditative moods, each placed in the perfect scene.
Tarantino’s movies usually have a great song selection.
Full Metal Jacket
Hearing “Bird is the Word” juxtaposed with the Vietnam War is just a crazy choice that paid off.
Nobody (2021)
Turned me on to Luther Allison. Not a “best soundtrack” but it definitely stands out.
O Brother is great for some classic folk.
It’s almost like Nintendo wanted to make as much money as possible in court.
Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?
Republicans don’t know the difference between the types of communists.
Why is it in a spoon? 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄
Sir, I estimate the project will be completed in 135 days and 11 hours.
couldn’t you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?
The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.
It’s been this way for at least a decade.
Talos Principle 2. So far I’m enjoying it just as much as the first one.
I’d wish for humanity to transcend our physical form and live in a virtual world as gods.
Workaround: wish to be reincarnated as an immortal.
Watch detective Pikachu and it might help.
I’ll check it out.
Not sure how definitive that OPM classification is, but I see OPM as a seinen that deconstructs shonen via satire. It presents the absurdity of the superhero endgame with a troubled god-like protagonist. It also redefines what it means to be a hero in a realistic and inspiring way (via Mumen Rider).
I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.
I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.
DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).
I’m generally picky about how I spend large amounts of time. As an adolescent I watched like 700 episodes of One Piece but I eventually gave up. At this point I can’t be bothered with any Shonen; they’re the equivalent of junk food. Even Mob Psycho 100 started getting tiresome in season 3.
I’ve never appreciated bishoujo/harem garbage; I had coworkers that watched it regularly and it was very off-putting. They are horny and delusional, pretending there is substance.
But I still think there’s a lot of solid art in manga/anime. I tend to look for popular seinen manga that turned into anime, like Akira, Berserk, Monster, Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, One Punch Man. But even some of those end up going downhill or failing to evolve out of the “edgy and violent” stage, e.g. Attack on Titan.
Clearly the garbage is what makes money, which is a huge shame.
And AFAIK Hayao Miyazaki does not like to be associated with the Anime genre and would prefer being grouped with the likes of Disney. And I think that’s quite appropriate.

I think it’s just the communities that don’t appear.
My point wasn’t so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.
