Today I add a new video to an old series of mine “Watch Me Draw,” they’re basically drawing timelapse videos—but this is my first one since joining NerdZone! 🥳 It’s a double portrait of a YouTuber Ryan Trahan and his wife Haley, commemorating a road trip series they’re doing “50 states in 50...

😜

Tbh I barely even look at the user info there, I glance to recognize profile pic and username and move on. I hadn’t even noticed my own custom title! 😝 I wonder if there’s any formal concept behind what a “custom title” is supposed to be? Or is it just an arbitrary micro-outlet for self expression?

Let’s go with “My videos, artwork, and projects.”

I notice the section description says “Videos from my YouTube channel.” I suppose that would need to be changed also … Maybe something like “My videos, artwork, and projects?”

Sure, I like the rename idea 😊

Would that break any URLs? I think I’m linking to this forum section in several video descriptions

I don’t know if it quite makes sense or not to share this in the “Member Videos” section, but I made a little 4-page manga to boost my portfolio and exercise my skills. Click here to read it for free. Additionally, I did a 7-part series of livestreams showing my full process for making this...

To be specific, they are philosophical questions. Since they’re philosophical questions, the answer not only depends on, but I would argue partly constitutes, one’s philosophical worldview. Since I am a Christian I believe we humans were created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), which means our...

lol All your comparisons / examples are from Java … The most experience I have with Java is using Minecraft command blocks 😂🤪 I guess that explains why the Python “lists” thing is more weird to me than it is to you Have you ever used a command line interface? If you can get comfortable...

Lol Well tbf I do not believe that AI or robots should or ever will have anything like human rights. “Mistreatment” of an AI is probably the least of my concerns. Although you certainly could make an argument that it says something about human nature if corporate bigshots crave having something...

Ah, I actually really like Bash My favorites would have to be either C, PHP, or JavaScript because those are my most familiar. Sorta depends on my mood or the situation, if I need precision or complexity then I prefer C but if it’s more heavily text processing or UI-focused then PHP or...

Here’s a Tom Scott video I found to be insightful, where he mentioned how new technologies that change the world sort of follow a sigmoid curve: Yes, AI is replacing some jobs, but as I mentioned in this post on a similar topic I don’t feel very concerned about the long-term future. The short...

Very true. They can manifest as so-called “Heisenbugs,” which are very nasty to deal with. Of course, once you know that a Heisenberg is usually a dead giveaway for a memory management issue, it becomes a needle-haystack problem of finding your mistake using the spooky non-correlating evidence...

Memory leaks in a C program can be downright spooky, like causing different behavior with exact same inputs. I’ve dealt with those before for example on this project, but it’s been a very long time and I can’t recall the details now. Of course, there’s always the adventurous and exotic crashes...
