It is a good thing that links to useful resources like these are reposted every now and then. For many, like myself, this could be the first time seeing it. Perhaps a date tag would add some clarity for those who have already see it.
I do both. In my case textbooks are to fill theoretical needs/gaps. I go through full books in some cases and in others it is not feasible based on various factors (difficulty of subject, need, content, 500+ pages etc.) I find that some of the newer textbooks give a helpful flowchart of chapters so one can choose their "adventure" based on interest or the curriculum needs (of an instructor).
On occasions I abandon reading after a chapter or two if I don't think it serves my needs or the subject matter is too difficult for me. In the latter case I may try to look for an alternative or come back to it once I have gained pre-requisite knowledge.
Also, this would be contrary to GP's comment - it would be the right reason. Imagine if a bald person is walking by and a toupee happens to fall on their head and they can see themselves in a window reflection of a toupee shop that just so happens to be there.
Use some ML/AI to choose the right fit, style, hair color etc., the drop orientation, and angle. Throw in some ChatGTP integration to suggest using scalp glue. Combined with OP's marking skills they will be in business in no time!
Indeed. Did the industry use the term 'network processor' in this context after, dunno, the mid 2000s? Another one of those 'it seemed like a great idea at the time'.
Loved it! I couldn't find any info on the case and keyboard though. Did he just reuse an old one? They did look to be in mint condition. No mention of those in the video either (or maybe I just missed it as I was skipping over some sections).
Loved the restorations. Next time I am in your city I would like to come say hello. I have a cherished textbook from my undergraduate days that is coming apart. Perhaps I could bribe you with a suitable offering :-)
