@gamingonlinux I've not played any Mass Effect games, but that sounds like positive praise! I just finished God Of War 2018 and started AC: Valhalla!
Felt a tad rough this morning as I was out in the pub with family last night; so I decided to treat me and my colleagues to bacon sandwiches... Unfortunately my boss had the same idea and a delivery guy has just turned up with a giant box of bacon sandwiches
Must talk about this prior to ordering going forward.
@cortexuvula I upload to YouTube, and Odysee syncs my videos from YouTube. The sync takes anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour sometimes. So when I post the YouTube link, there is no Odysee link...yet. Might I suggest you to install the "Watch on Odysee" browser plugin? When enabled, when you click a YT link, it will take you to the Odysee video if the video exists on Odysee. If not, it just takes you to YouTube.
@laces Good to hear from someone doing it themselves, I started doing a #CodeAcademy #SQL last night, but I might commit to #TheOdinProject if it gives you a more flushed out perspective.
@elevynn Hi Michael, I can vouch for #TheOdinProject as I'm about halfway through it at the moment.
It gives you a really thorough understanding of things like Git, testing, and Object Orientated Programming than a course on a platform like Codecademy wouldn't give you.
I've had a couple of attempts at learning a language before, but TOP has really made it stick. Happy to answer questions about it if you have any.
My first post on Mastodon, so I figure it should be a picture of a cat taken on film

@nullifidian I just started learning SQL last night :D
# Understanding Functions using the "Function Room" narrative
I use narratives to learn stuff… and to teach, too
What's a narrative? It's a way of connecting events or facts in a form of a story
But I promised to talk about The **Function Room**…
so read on…

My mental image of a computer program is that of a small creature working in a room.
When you start writing a program, the Main Room is empty except for some shelves and a small red booklet called "built-in"
Monty — that's the name of the little creature doing all the hard work — will look around the room whenever you use any name.

@evangreer This is great! Seriously, the video and song are both brilliant. Time to sleep but followed and will be checking out more of your music. Have a great morning, day or night, whatever time it is!
@elisehuard I watched the first two episodes tonight, it's very... tense. I feel very on edge watching it, but I'm excited to see more Capaldi.
Centralized social media had trained me to think in a certain way. "If you don't like it, go build your own..." is the popular phrase. The mentality seems to be that one central entity has to control it all, or social media can't exist.
Joyfully, #mastodon has proven that to be false.
I hadn't imagined anything like this could ever work this well. Pretty amazing. Props to the #fosstodon admins, @kev @mike @cooper @Tay0 @ru @grueproof. This is a great place to be!
