I love sunflowers. Though the sunflower has the same issue of sucking the ground dry of the nutrients, you will need to keep rotating the place, otherwise it will take everything from the ground to the state that nothing will grow there for years.
If it is a Zoom meeting, than I just allow myself to run around the room, listening to the meeting on the background.
Otherwise, if it is an in-person meeting, I do lots of things
- watch around, try to make notes of important things
- practice active listening, trying to validate my understanding by parahprasing statements I heard as questions to validate correctness of my understanding. Even if I can't ask them — I write them down, this also forces the muscle memory to make me recall more
- if it is a presentation, I sometimes run further ahead, riding the content like waves — so when presenter gets to some point,
The most important thing, though, always is to accept the fact that you can miss some parts. Neurotypicals miss bits and pieces of information too — they just don't think it is a bad thing, so it is fine if you miss something, or hear something incorrectly. It is completely fine to ask to repeat something, or to get some information later by asking your colleagues.
Awesome, I've been watching this game development — it is really a great one. I enjoyed playing demo so much times, great it is released finally!
I’d prefer not to dual boo, but it might be the safest way to start? If I dual boot, get used to Linux and (hopefully) get everything I need working, can I then go from dual boot to erasing the Windows partition and recombining so I then only have Linux installed and can keep the work and programs I already installed on Linux?
My personal experience says: try dualbooting first, because it will make you to have a working machine continuously. Taking into account that all Linux-based OS behave vastly differently from MS Windows, it is possible to break things, when learning a new way of doing things.
The drives for my server are NTFS. Does anyone have experience with this format on Linux (I use Emby)?
I've been using an external NTFS drive for compatibility and big files storage: works as charm. The worst case scenario is you will need to install an ntfs-3g
driver, although it is usually included with the distro.
As for production: I don't have much experience with that, although I can recommend you looking around tooling that solves the problem. You will need quite a bit of patience and trying things, because switching platform will definitely require you to make some shifts in usual processes you have now. Don't expect things to be obvious 100% replacement: unfortunately lots of people have this expectation, and get frustrated.
As for hardware, just looking the model up on the internet with adding "linux", or "ubuntu", or "fedora" should do the trick of figuring out if it will work.
Exactly my feeling each time I get back on personal PC/laptop after whole day of working with Mac.
I usually do that approach with multiplication of big numbers and square root calculation. Usually make it at most 10% error, which I consider quite a win :)
We are talking old game remake lol
You are not in any way. I was into tech since I was a toddler, and the feeling I have right now sucks. Though, I think it is not about tech, but about things happening in the world around. The tech is just a symptom of majority people being natural morons.
Having a tiny bit of slow-work time at an office, after I got almost burned out under unrealistic deadlines pressure.
Hoping it’ll get better for you!
Neither am I. It's just sad...
