    You’re probably out of luck. I’ve been trying to avoid amazon for two years but all the other options suck. I’m constantly chasing missing orders and returning items because they’re just not as described.

    Amazon revolutionised the customer experience and apparently nobody else has even bothered to try and mirror their formula.




  • Indeed. Most of my skills are self taught but I suspect that’s because no one ever taught in a manner that suited me.

    I need visual and/or practical learning. Somebody talking at me just doesn’t work. I lose interest or don’t absorb the material. Slides or scribbles on a whiteboard help a bit but teachers and professors are severely lacking in visual communication. They certainly aren’t going to create graphics and animations like this video which clearly and concisely express the concept.


  • I’m sure every generation says this but…

    Kids these days are so lucky. They have access to so many incredible learning resources. If your teacher sucks or expresses concepts in a manner that doesn’t work for you then all you have to do is check YouTube for an animated lesson that breaks it down at a pace you’re comfortable with. Or just speed it up/slow it down/skip back and forth to suit.






  • This has been one of my biggest frustrations while learning Rust. I’m coming from .NET which has an incredible wealth of official System and Microsoft libraries all of which are robust and well documented.

    Rust on the other hand has the bare minimum std library, with everything else implemented by the community. There isn’t even a std async library. It’s insane.

    Even the popular community libraries are severely lacking in documentation or inexplicably unmaintained.

    Rust has a ton of potential but it desperately needs some broad funding to align the fundamentals to a decent standard.
