I'm curious have you ever tried working out in the early hours after waking up? This alone determines if I'm getting good sleep or not. I'll end up staying up way later into the night unless I worked out that morning.

Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't South Korean have Gaming/Internet Addiction Centers for those with "Gaming Disorders"? I remember seeing something about this from a eSports documentary some time ago. Unfortunately

Oh most definitely! It's certainly not for everyone. I mean even back then, if I'm remembering correctly. There was a site called Thottbot for exactly that. Which I occasionally turned to when the quest was lacking in information.

I thought Windows 10 dark mode was only to the metro ui (or what ever it's called now). So things like Window Explorer (Finder on macOS) are still not dark themed.

I've never understood the stock piling of gold. I feel like in doomsday life goods like guns, food, water, tools, etc. Would be of more value then gold or bitcoin. Maybe my view of doomsday life is harsher then others.

Any books or other resources you recommend to learn these things? On learning to learn I have enjoyed A Mind for Numbers[1] by Barbra Oakley with Coursera course[2], Make it Stick[3] by Peter C. Brown, and How We Learn[4] by Benedict Carey.

No problem! I forgot to add in my original post that after the first 5 or 6 lectures the course switches to Python from C. You'll end up hitting two birds with one stone. Also, there's a very active community around CS50 on Reddit

What you're describing sounds very similar to how [1]Khan Academy teaches programming. Which is probably one of the best ways I've seen programming taught through a browser. 1. https://www.khanacademy.org/computing
