Yeah, the sailing in Valheim's kind of a slog.

They use carbon dioxide, unfortunately. It's not a nice way to go. Source: https://viva.org.uk/animals/slaughter-how-animals-are-killed/pig-gassing-in-the-uk/

Also it's not uncommon to gas livestock to death, I'm not sure where you got that from

Eh, not really. As long as there are still people here to talk to I'm good 👍

Ah how come? I've had to build simple stuff in unity for university, I've not run into issues.

Yeah hiking poles are game changers.

Is trying to get into computer science still worth it or has that ship sailed? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net

Probably not, programming languages are just tools usd to do jobs. If you like databasey bits you could look at backend work, you'd need to know some SQL like Postgres or MySql. Postgres has a pretty good tutorial on their site here.

If you do go down that route I'd pick up a front-end language as well. JavaScript, HTML and CSS are what you're after. When you've got the basics of those down learn whatever frameworks popular in your area. Probably React or Nextjs.

AI is really maths heavy, just so you're aware. Using Tensorflow or Scikit learn is fine, but unless you understand the math you'll be at a disadvantage.

Hey I can see a lot of people are recommending sysadmin roles, but reading your comments you seem like you're more interested in software development. They're two very different fields and software Dev pays a lot more on average.

It's hard to transition from sysadmin to dev, I've worked in IT as a system administrator for over a decade and I don't know anyone personally whose done it. I wouldn't count on moving into software development from IT.

Either of these positions are immeasurably better than retail :)

If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be? in c/programming@programming.dev

Yeah Rust can do all of those things as well, JavaScript is obviously much more common.

Lenovo ThinkPads are really well built. I'd steer clear of their ideapads though, they're the usual consumer marketed rubbish.
