Przy okazji tego Majora i tego co #Banks powiedzial na scenie, ze #Dania jest krolestwem #CS.a, warto przypomniec pewne wystapienie
Premier Danii Løkke #Rasmussen podczas otwarcia jednego z pierwszych turniejow #BLAST, 5 lat temu zwracajac sie do zawodnikow powiedzial:
"Przybyliscie z calego swiata, prezentujac umiejetnosci, ktore przypadaja nielicznym - komunikacja, praca zespolowa, hardcore'owe oddanie. Trenowaliście przez lata by tu byc i pewnie po drodze musieliscie sie tlumaczyc wiecej niz raz i przekonywac ludzi, ze nie marnujecie czasu. Ale mam nadzieje, ze czas tlumaczenia sie dobiegl konca.
Bo jestescie sportowcami - prawdziwymi sportowcami. Dazacymi za marzeniami i wykorzystujacymi swoje umiejetnosci. Jestescie pionierami gamingu.
Counter-Strike jest swiatem samym w sobie, z wlasnym jezykiem, ciezkim do zrozumienia dla outsidera takiego jak ja - rundy eko, ace, CT, T-Side - ale takze swiatem inkluzywnym, ktory laczy ludzi pomiedzy krajami, kontynentami i pochodzeniem. Tutaj nikt Was nie ocenia z powodu narodowosci, religii czy wygladu, ale z powodu umiejetnosci - gry, wspolpracy i bycia czescia wiekszej calosci. A to cechy niesamowicie potrzebne w dzisiejszym swiecie, dzieki ktorym jestescie inspiracja dla swiata jutra."
Wystapienie godne otwarcia Igrzysk Olimpijskich.
Jasne, jest w tym troche marketingu, lansowania sie starego goscia na evencie ogladanym przez setki tysiecy, polityki - jasne, ale Dania jest jednym z najlepiej "wyksztalconych" esportowo krajow na swiecie, wiec w tych slowach jest sporo prawdziwego zaangazowania i takiego "wie co mowi".
@pluralistic finally hits the nail on the head with an explanation that can be expanded to Elon Musk worshippers.
It answers the question why so many people defend #Elon88Musk despite running a massive con. With his robotic death machines that cause inextinguishable fires, charged easing diesel generators despite also claiming carbon offset credits for that same energy.
Excerpt:
"This produces a powerful cognitive dissonance: "If all the 'entrepreneurs' I worship are just laying traps for the unwary, and if I am sometimes unwary, then I'm cheering on the authors of my future enduring misery." The only way to resolve this dissonance – short of re-evaluating your view of platform capitalism or questioning your own immunity to scams – is to blame the victim."
#Computer#Geeks:
Just bought a new computer and am switching from my older one. I've been a user since Win 3.1.
Can anyone point me to the best helper to get everything right from the get-go. Both PCs are #Windows10 Pro.
@Madmonkey Yes, I also considered that possibility. James forgot to post a photo of his cat for #caturday , and this was the cat's revenge while James was visiting the toilet. 😼
@emill1984 Heh. W wywiadzie pomeczowym gla1ve na razie udowodnił, że potrafi mówić "dobry", tylko nie w tych momentach, w których trzeba :P @Grigi@esport
It is common knowledge that it takes 10,000 hours of sustained practice to become proficient in any substantive endeavour. That is, to become an #expert, one must work on just one thing for 5 years—50 work weeks per year and 40 work hours per week.
Let us apply this aphorism to #CS and #IT. Those four years of undergrad studies do not count toward the 10,000 hours, because the undergrad has neither the ability nor the opportunity to focus on one thing. So, to become an expert in one area of study or one segment of technology, one must earn a PhD in one narrow academic research area or, equivalently for someone with a BS, work in the industry for at least five years exclusively applying just one technology.
But in today's climate of technological churn, that level of devotion to one area of technology is tantamount to a career suicide. Sad....
i need to buy a new #laptop. For the life of me I can't tell what the difference is between processors & how to determine my needs on that front. So little I'm not even sure how to search for it. #Anyhelp? #computer#new#askfedi#ddg#google#intel#amd
@Fu I think that, when choosing a laptop, thinking about its processor should come after deciding what are you going to use it for, and what your needs are. Do you need a lightweight and portable one? With a long lasting battery? Will you do gaming, run heavyweight apps, like video editors? How much are you willing to spend? After asking questions like these, you can look for models that match your choices and make a shortlist, and then think about stuff like processors and other details. :)
