I have a unique way of studying that seems to work well for me, but I’m curious if it’s a good long-term strategy.

Whenever I start a new topic in physics or math, instead of diving into the theory or derivations, I first skim through a variety of solved problems to get a sense of the types of questions typically asked. I take notes on the key concepts and methods I encounter, focusing on recognizing patterns across different problems.

Once I’ve built a mental "map" of the topic through problem-solving, I attempt unsolved problems using my notes and keep adding new observations as I go. By the end, I feel confident about most question types and can solve them quickly. After that, I might revisit the theory with a sense of curiosity, wanting to understand the "why" behind the formulas and patterns I’ve observed.

This approach has helped me become faster at solving problems compared to my peers. However, I sometimes worry that I might miss out on deeper conceptual understanding, especially for rare, extremely challenging problems.

The reason I lean toward this method is that I tend to forget theoretical details over time, but problem-solving strategies stick with me much longer. It feels like I develop an intuitive "second brain" for tackling problems.

So, is this a valid way to study? Or should I switch to the more conventional approach of learning theory first and then solving problems?

Seeing this makes me really happy. The nvidia-open drivers run VR as smooth as with Windows, but these lag spikes ruined the experience.

Like electronics are still working, electricity still works, but any radio waves just, stops working... (magic, divine intervention, a mad scientist broke physics, whatever...)

Let say it happens at exactly 3PM UTC-0 on a Wednesday, sometime in July or August (basically the scenario is a normal bussiness day and its summer in the nothern hemisphere, where most people are at, and kids are not in school)

What happens now?

What hapens with:

Plane in the sky?

Militaries around the world? (Generals go trigger happy and launch nukes?)

And everything else.

[Bonus Hypothetical:

Hypothecially, if such event happened in July or August of 2024, what would've happened to ongoing military conflicts (since radios wouldn't be a thing).]

Is the world gonna go crazy?

(Also, I bet those Ethernet-only lovers are gonna love this scenario 🙂)

Just want to see how important radios waves actually are.

86% of investment is in the form of contribution labor by employees and contractors working for the funding organization, with the remaining 14% being direct financial contributions.

I found a new strategy wargame "Pennon and Battle" on Steam. It's surprising to see that there are still teams willing to make games similar to Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can't help but remind me of the good old days when I used to play H3.

US president-elect Donald Trump has said he will rename Denali, Alaska natives’ name for North America’s tallest mountain, after William McKinley, the 25th US president who was assassinated in 1901.

Democratic former president Barack Obama in 2015 officially renamed the mountain as Denali, siding with the state of Alaska and ending a decades-long naming battle. The peak had been officially called Mount McKinley since 1917.

“They took his name off Mount McKinley,” Trump said in a speech to supporters in Phoenix on Sunday. “He was a great president,” Trump, a Republican, said, adding that his administration will “bring back the name of Mount McKinley because I think he deserves it.”
