Code new edition charles petzold5/27/2023 ![]() Repeating this over and over has made me feel less intelligent, which isn't what you set out to feel when you ask questions and study information. Each time someone tried to explain how code actually works to me, I'd have a million "why" and "how" follow up questions for which I almost never found a fulfilling answer. In an effort to actually understand the games I write about and the gadgets I review, I've tried throwing myself into various online courses, be it YouTube or learn-to-code apps, with barely any success. If that seems obvious to you, allow me to ask: How does your iPad know what colors to produce onscreen? How does Netflix know which movie to send you? What, physically, is data? Despite living in an electronic world, these are just not things that we're taught. Out modern computerized world is just layers upon layers of systems of computations that we've heaped onto the backs of our silicon beasts of burden. ![]() There are no arcane secrets behind machine learning. The nuts and bolts, code and compilers none of it made any sense. ![]() But until last year, I had no idea how any of this shit really worked. My opinion on such matters holds weight with a certain audience of tech consumers. ![]() Over the years I have owned and written about computers, mp3 players, smartphones, game consoles, DVD players - you name it, I've written about it. I have been a tech nerd for almost 32 years now. ![]() A change in tide freya barker5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() I hope we get a book or at least a novella featuring those two. Little Ole was cute and a certain OPP officer intrigues me greatly. This book isn't heavy on the side characters but Jared's sister Jordy plays a huge part in the book and I loved seeing how close she and Jared were. I enjoyed both main characters immensely. Just a slow building relationship between two broken people older in years than the typical H/h (Hero=39 Heroine=42). Although the last 20% did drag a little for me. It's very meandering in its pace without being boring. I really enjoy this author's writing style. From that point on this one was a wonderful read. I put this one down after that and gave myself 24 hours to bleach my brain before continuing from chapter two. ![]() Oh, it totally would have been an even higher rating if it hadn't been for that awful and unnecessary first chapter (see my rant below). So it is a testament to how well this author can weave a story that this ended up being a 3.5-Star read for me. Nice typography, although the "A" is wierdly placed. ![]() The Amethyst Road by Louise Spiegler5/27/2023 ![]() With the help of a boy named Shem, who is on a quest of his own, Serena travels deep into the mountains, where precious gems are mined, and across barren plains, where white-clad Trident Riders are terrorizing anyone who is not Gorgio. ![]() A run-in with social services, aptly nicknamed the Cruelty, launches Serena on a journey that is at once an escape and a quest to reunite her family. The Gorgios are even worse, trying to take the child away. The sisters get no help from the Yulang, because Willow's child was born out of wedlock and the family has been declared outcast. By birth they are half Yulang, half Gorgio, but are accepted by neither race. In a society similar to ours in some ways and very different in others, 16-year-old Serena and her older sister, Willow, struggle to get by in a tough, crime-infested urban neighborhood. ![]() Tiger by laurann dohner5/27/2023 ![]() The ending of this novel cannot be termed as tragic but it has some sad pangs in it. As the mission gets serious the relation between the two also shifts to the second phase and they think that there are other things of more importance than a deadly fight around them. ![]() Vanessa Chamber narrates the true feelings of a woman very beautifully here Zandy just does not care about what is happening around her after seeing the man of her dreams in her grasp. ![]() When Tiger saves her in the middle of a troubled zone she just finds it fascinating to be with such a handsome powerhouse. It’s Zandy who falls for Tiger not because she was looking for a lover but because she was too drunk. But what can a male do when the female is trying to get into his clothes in the middle of the mission. Tiger’s shock quickly turns to intense passion when the human female kisses him, despite the fact she’s trying to get his clothes off while he’s engaged in a task. ![]() ![]() He just cannot shift his mind from the main target which is of course the fulfillment of his mission. But i really love Laurann Dohner books she is great at what she dose and I would recommend this book to anybody who liked her species series. Tiger’s shock quickly turns to intense passion when the human female kisses him, despite the fact she’s trying to get his clothes off while he’s engaged in a task force operation. Tiger belongs to the New Species and is working for the task force which means one clear thing i.e no place for ladies. ![]() Ellen hopkins tricks series5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() The group also stated that it is resisting school indoctrination and supporting limited government involvement.
