I hope that Krsna has special karma for people who keep thinking they are independent and rulers of nature. I cant wait for that day so I can laugh while I do real yoga for this age of Kali. America will also have its day of reckoning. And to bust your bubble, they will never be able to silence or rewrite history. UK has tried and continues to fail. The people who know the real truth just have too much bliss enjoying reality than trying to convince the dull masses otherwise. Everyone today believes they are so great and smart because of the tiny advancements in manipulating nature that no matter what presentation is done in whatever language, no one is listening because of pride and fear of losing their cherished life paradigms. Posts like this remind me how all I've just said is a waste of time and people are doomed so I just chill in bliss while everyone else is insane worried about death. Hare Krsna!
I cope by realizing this is just a place to learn and i keep calm. The answers you seek are beyond the mental temporary paradigm. When you see your Self with your purified mind and are satisfied within your self as eternal consciousness then all your anxiety falls like dead leaves. I recommend reading the Bhagavad-gita by Prabhupada 1972 edition.
I get into it by telling my self its time to get it done and then continue to do it. Everything else people use is a crutch of some sort. HN is turning into a cesspool.
U just graduated with a Masters and u get on HN to ask about what kind of project? Dude seriously look back at your last 6 yrs of life and reflect, if u learned anything at all.
Interesting idea. I do hope u get what u looking for. Unfortunately basing an alliance on belief which are mutable is a house of cards. As soon as someone has a realization they can change without notice. I think you are expressing a desire of humanity in general. It is very sad to see many dumb and smart deluded to insanity people everywhere especially here on HN. The most deluded is that hacker who thinks he can solve death with AI and other mechanical methods. Those who think and believe that we are merely an accident and that today is our most advanced times is another fantastical group of wonderful people. Its so funny to read the arguments of people who truly go to bed afraid of death but during the day they are 1000% sure about their non-sensical notions about existence and are so so proud of their temporary knowledge on tech and are quick to vomit a maze of crap at u over the wire. It would be nice to have real hacker debates instead of this... blah...Im so bored with this planet and society.
Somebody flagged my post below( the post starting with 'Damn' etc.) They seems to have flagged/downvoted your comment sufficiently so that I no longer see it. (To the best of my knowledge it is not possible to delete a comment after 2 days, so my guess is that they flagged it). So there is a band of self anointed moral police out there. Just shows how they liven their sorry irrelevant lives with HN patrolling. Just cements my attitude about the masses.
I suggest installing a basic Linux distro or even Linux From Scratch. Get a taste for command line tools and an overview of the environment that supports programming. Its a vast ocean of possibilities. Start anywhere since its a hobby. Have fun and learn the principles of implementing solutions. There are tons of Youtube videos that spoon feed any language you choose to learn.
I would argue that your first sentence contradicts the rest of your post. Yes, solve problems with tools that suit your criteria. But you might do that better if you actually know some tools.
U dont need to know a tool at all, all u need to know is how to use Google and express ideas clearly and diversely. The rest is mechanical. Solve the problem first then worry about what tool is better. The whole idea of efficiency has destroyed heuristical discovery. Current state of life on this planet: patheticly lame.
