Meh, that is kinda cool Shadow. I used to write electronic music in my free time, but back in school so no more free time. Other then occasionally check my Darwinbots experiments for progress.

No idea. I do know it will be something to do with AI and biology.

Oh, I see what you are asking. Computer science is fancy word for programming.

You are further then I thought with the art Shadow. I did not realize you make proper handles too.

Once you learn your 2nd programming languages you realize most programming languages are pretty much the same, they only use a different wording to do stuff. What annoys me is some languages do not have a GUI editor so you have to program control locations manually.

i've been working on it for over 2 years now(knife making not the knife, that took 2 weeks) and usually i do better than that, screwed up on the handle,too long. my favorite knives are folding knives. i don't know why but i like the fiddly stuff. also i don't half to make a sheath for them :D

Title: Re: what do you do in life?
Post by: Shadowgod2 on November 05, 2016, 05:02:16 PM

And don't forget, if you have enough of those in a blade, it makes the blade considerably lighter. :P
Quick question: Do you spring load them? Reason I ask is springs are not too easy to make.

Post by: Shadowgod2 on November 06, 2016, 09:13:54 AM
yes they are spring loaded, they're slip joint pocket knives. the springs i do make myself and no they're not coil springs

As it happens, I'm starting my first week at DeepMind (https://deepmind.com/).  Before this I was elsewhere within Google/Alphabet, and before that I worked in the video game industry at Havok.  Basically been a professional programmer for 9 years.  Almost as long as I've been working on DB3 ;)
