Please just no. Part of the charm of the guitar is that its this kind of organic piece of wood and metal that you have to learn to master to make sound good. A lot of the different character and style of different players comes from their different technique and how they learned to play which I think would be lost if you could just easily make perfect notes by basically pressing a button. I guess this is the same reason why I prefer listening to instruments like guitar, piano (real piano, not electronic) and saxophone and synth/electronic music I find all sounds similar and lacks individual character.

I haven't tried it yet (still running 7) but I use the git bash shell all the time. Can anyone chime in on what the bash in Windows 10 gives you that git bash doesnt? Not that I've really fully explored but git bash seems to have a lot of the common utilities (it has grep and vim).

I didn't go to a big name university. I did a 3 year college diploma that had coop. I had a job lined up before I even finished school and a few months later had 2 competing offers (one from a company I coop'd at). I think the key thing that helped me was being able to put work experience on my resume from doing coop.

Also I put a lot of effort into making my resume the best I could. Don't neglect this. It is the #1 most important thing you need to do when searching for a job.

You mentioned your intern experience being at 'lower tier' comonies. Are you maybe being too picky in where you are applying?

After looking at the Thinkpad W540 the specs and price are pretty close compared to the MBP, but I think I'm gonna go with the Mac. It looks a lot nicer, is lighter, has longer battery life, has plus I get to play with the Mac OS which I have never used before.

A lot of reading blogs, articles, etc. online, and a lot of time spent in your spare time working on projects. Also working on things that are new and challenging to you. Also if you come across something you don't understand while reading and article or working on a project don't just skip over it, spend the time to really understand the concept.

Gravity Simulator 12 years ago

When a small particle gets accelerated to great speeds as it approaches a massive object it simply passes through because the collisions are off/aren't perfect even when they're on

It was really meant just as a toy and not a scientifically rigorous simulation. Any value of theta is going to make not 100% accurate (not to mention the simulation speed which also affects accuracy).
