I've been able to get some pretty good contracts on my freelancing, but the fact I only freelance in the summer is seriously getting in the way of that last goal.
@PinkCathodeCat
Read the first two or three chapter's and made most of the exercices in those chapters, I had a lot of trouble with the mathy parts. But I'm hoping I can get through it this year. The book is in my montreal appartment right now so I couldnt say exactly where.
@superpat it's funny I can still point to the chapter I had significant difficulties with. When they started talking Fermat, I got so lost :(
@superpat the things I did learn about abstraction, however, have been incredibly useful elsewhere in my life. Especially in law.
@PinkCathodeCat
Care to expand on how you applied concepts of abstraction to law?
@superpat more on the lines of that being able to abstract from the individual to the social has been useful. Conceptually difficult topics can be mastered in that way.
@superpat Rust seems to be changing quite rapidly?
Cont'd #tech #newyear goals
- Setup my server to serve my personal website over #dat #ipfs and #https
- Setup a personal server at home on an unused computer, investigate if I can stop using my vps (or only use it for the website)
- Make enough money through my #freelancing to actually owe taxes
Happy new years everybody
