no. there really isnt such a thing as "#exclusive #skillsets", only denial of access to the materials and #knowledge needed to learn those things.
no. #selftaught and #homeschooled are not "lesser" forms of #education. in fact, they can be, in my experience, faster and even more advanced ways of learning than "waiting your turn" to learn in crowded, inattentive #institutions that are more focused on their own agendas and testing for #compliance with outdated measures and standardized #thinking.
Sewists advice please !
I often need to mark pattern outlines onto dark / black and stretchy fabrics.
Examples: back of crushed velvets, jersey knit, fleece, and lycra blends.
What *reliable marking* method can I use that is NOT tailors stitches.?
Every time I try chalk I end up with a smudgy mess and water / erasable ink markers seem to only come in the colour blue? 🤷🏿♀️
Thanks in advance.
This feels like simple stuff but I'm confused and frustrated.
Trading gurus won't tell you this: $200 in books + real work beats any $2,000 course.
📚 The 5-stage process to consistent profitability doesn't require mentorships—just you, Minervini, O'Neil, Livermore, and actual effort.
Most quit after stage 1. Are you different?

Ở tuổi 40, một người từng làm thiết kế nội thất đã tự học lập trình và phát triển thành công 4 ứng dụng. Bắt đầu từ nhu cầu cá nhân như bỏ thuốc lá hay dịch tài liệu, câu chuyện của anh ấy truyền tải thông điệp mạnh mẽ: không bao giờ là quá muộn để học hỏi và thay đổi.

Greetings fellow friends (and goblins!) of the Fediverse.
Do you like #Music? Sure, we all do! Do you like #SelfTaught, #SelfProduced, #DIY #Musicians?
Share this link (and spare a few minutes to listen?) for #BandcampFriday!
My music is dark ambient industrial-influenced experimental electronic, and I hope you'll like it.
Using mostly #Golang & #Javascript these days but I’m so grateful that #Python was the first language I learned.
Also, I know the #Python 2 to 3 transition was a pain but it definitely taught me about bytes 😅
Me initially: Bytes… what are those 😭

🎉 Oh joy, another "let me tell you about my math elective" saga where Greg discovers stats are cool after 20 YEARS! 🤓 Meanwhile, his self-taught knowledge arrives fashionably late, one drib at a time. 😂

Tech is full of “nontraditional paths.” That’s what makes it strong. Don’t let gatekeepers tell you otherwise.

I should start organizing the backlog for my home lab. First up will be figuring out what hypervisor I want to run; then some permanent infrastructure that won't be containerized such as a git server and pipeline runner; then making a VM template; then actually standing up the prod cluster.
Then comes the "migration" from my current instance to the new k8s cluster. That will be some combination of k8s deploys from YAML files and restoring some files from backup.
I plan to have a way to deploy new VMs on demand, including randomized hostnames and DNS entries, then assemble a whole group of them for k8s. Maybe I can even tinker with Ansible's dynamic groups?! Haven't done that for a while.

🚀 In today's episode of "Captain Obvious Discovers Gravity," we learn that people who teach themselves a skill might actually be good at it. 🤯 Check out Michael's "Interactive Resume" to see how he single-handedly reinvented the wheel... with a PowerPoint presentation. 😜

Somehow I made it the whole way. Looking at it now, it looks like instead of a four year degree, mine took like 14 years.

You don’t need to know everything to begin. Start where you are—one step, one page, one terminal window. That’s how we all grow.
#SelfTaught isn’t a lesser path. It’s the real one.
So, this is an interesting thing from the Browser Company, dia. It did generate this article based on my blog and believe me, it does sound like me.
Scary, right?

"Tree of Paradise," Séraphine Louis, 1926.
Louis (1864-1942) was a self-taught painter inspired by her own intense religious faith, and stained-glass windows in her local church.
A domestic servant, first at a local convent and later by assorted bourgeois families in the town of Senlis, she painted privately on various objects until 1912, when one of her employers, an art collector, stumbled on her work and was greatly impressed. He encouraged her to work more and supplied paints and canvases for her to work on. She was launched into a world of critical and financial success...but was ill-equipped to handle it and lost most of the money she made.
By 1932 her mental health, which was always wobbly, deteriorated to the point that she had to be institutionalized. She spent the rest of her life in an institution, sadly denied any sort of artistic outlet. Today she is remembered as a significant outsider artist.
From the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
