Thanks for asking sushi. Today went well. I studied and went to class for uni. I even got invited to join a research lab. Though, there's a lasting melancholy that I can't shake off about the whole "existentialist ordeal." I trust that that stems from my own naivety and that it will dissipate with time.
Tomorrow I am planning on doing the same thing: attending my classes and studying. I hope in the morning maybe I can brew some tea and watch the sunrise, to add a little bit of fun into my life.

Feel free to open a thread or to report your progress on this, Python is not hard to learn but some of its quirks can be confusing and should not be overlooked (on the top of my head, what make a type mutable, inheritance and the super method, and asyncio).

>>6129My greenhouse isn't really in the state for photos. It was left untended for a good few years with family just abandoning plants in it, I've only kept it for about a month now. Still some plants growing on the ground, shabby panels, etc. Only have a handful of plants too, about 6 tomato plants (Only 3 grown enough to flower), as many pumpkins, about 4 watermelons, basil, some desert roses my grandmother gave me the seeds for, and a bunch of half living desert plants my mother won't let me trash.
I'm just glad the things I give a shit about are growing good. I may not have picked the best planting season but the pumpkins are growing wonderfully and since they're edible I'm looking forward to pumpkin pie come January. And the watermelons might actually be grown come summer so that'll be nice.
I really need to plant more produce in it though. Anyone here got good suggestions for a warm climate?

I'm studying only with a book of Python but i think i can see some videos to learn more.
Also, do you think i can learn Python only using the terminal?
I've downloaded the Pycharm and SublimeText to programme but it hasn't worked. Some kind of problem with the interpreter on Pycharm.
It's an idiot question but i never used this kind of IDE, only Bluefish to "programme" in HTML.
Also, sorry for my bad english. No.6133
>>6132You can learn Python with a simple text editor and a terminal. You can install ipython with pip to get a friendlier interpreter, and something like black or autopep8 to make your code cleaner, but everything is doable within a terminal without much hassle

Pretty quiet here. More greenhouse work, pretty light since I just needed to move some plants around. Two of my tomato plants are fruiting (A bunch of now 4 cherries and 1 beefsteak) which were too big to be on a shelf. Also checked up on the watermelon and I'm experimenting with some pumpkins, three in the greenhouse and 3 outside to see how well they pollinate. And brought honeysuckle in, I really need to grow more pretty plants that aren't just wild ones keeping pots occupied.

Today I went out to town and now I'm back home. I'm going to cook today and I'm making dumplings! I just made the dough and gotta let it sit for a couple hours before I'm bound to do the rest, so I want to take the next couple hours to do what I've been meaning to do for the last few days, which is to read some ruby books to start doing a project that want to do.
There's so much filling my days that I barely get to do anything I want to. For one thing I gotta work during the first few hours of the day, so I have about 4 hours tops in the afternoons for myself, which I use mostly for learning chinese because it's my #1 priority right now, but every day I also wish I could catch up on these ruby books so I can get started with my project but I barely get the time to do this. Then I'm taking upon reading fiction which is somewhat related to my project, so in the evening I'm starting to read a lil bit but I'm so tired by then that I fall asleep after a few pages.
So I guess I gotta take it little by little with the little time I have left to do my own stuff, which as I said, even if I can dedicate to my project, I gotta read a few books before I can actually start doing anything with any confidence. I can get started after a few pages with this first book which is supposed to teach me the language (I'm super rusty with any programming whatsoever, plus, I want to do this right rather than doing a bunch of guesswork and having to google how to fetch methods from classes almost every time).
Anyway, at least I have a project in mind, even if it's going to take me a while, at least I have some leisure to proceed…

I'm doing well enough. Family is alive, not homeless or starving or anything like that. My mate is going through a tough time though, issues with his girlfriend that might end with them breaking up. I honestly think it would be better in the long-term for them to break up anyway, I don't know them that well as an actual couple but the spark seems to have died. Going to be tough in the short-term for him, things were tougher for him than I thought and he's apparently let a lot of friendships just fade into limbo. I'm just going to have to make sure I'm there for him.
Apart from that, my anxiety seems to be flaring up a little at the moment, shouldn't have had that coffee earlier this afternoon. Handed in my last assignment for the term. Once I complete my two classes next term I'll be able to get into a Bachelor of IT… at the age of 28.

I guess I was under the impression that, if left alone they'd know how to take care for themselves. If handled properly, they can be nice to have around. This particular chicken was given to me already grown up, she managed to get away from me as I tried to get her in the coop and thereafer never let me catch her. She slept on the top of a tree even if there was a big storm. She hatched the chicks on her own and I let her, that's how she got attacked. The rest of the fowls are doing fine.

Look at witch trials and such, innocents are sent to the stake all throughout history.
Look at false rape accusations. Cancel culture
Paranoia is good to have, I have the same paranoia, it's why I use pseudonyms and such.
But you must face the fact that no matter how clean you keep yourself, if you rub someone who owns a media giant the wrong way, they'll just obliterate you.
So I mean, the only way out of even being accused is to just mute yourself entirely. But depending on your current life, that'd make life not worth living, since the internet is a vehicle for thought, expression. Without being able to make your thoughts into reality, what's the point of living?
>Despite all my rage I am just a rat in a cageSo my new strategy is to just not rub powerful people the wrong way. That's a green light to shitpost all you want, who in the world are you rubbing wrong by doing that?

If you are defamed, it's social suicide - but it can be suicide if you rely on society. Maybe that's something worth changing: that reliance.

I think you summed up what I'm feeling about it very well with what you say about the line between inclination and fetish.

>>13589Hey that is beautiful. Learning about stories of words gives a new perspective. We call pistachio "fıstık" in Turkish. Which probably comes from Arabic. But it looks like the word ultimately comes from Persian, not Greek.

>>13632Haaaa…. I feel the same, but I think it has something to do with my attention and an addiction like pattern of behavior with 4chan (reddit/facebook/twitter/etc I think are the same)… It's not that there less places out there on the net, its that the good places require calm stable focus and don't have weird dopamine skinner box hacks working on your brain, so when you're in a certain state of mind, you can't really find or focus on the good parts of the net.
But about the thread, you weren't thinking of one of these were you?:

>>13636There are indeed quite a few good places left and they surely have to offer something, if you get invested in them. They all feel samey though, because they mostly offer the same. Sure, the community makes the place, but the boards, threads and discussions are more or less the same. So, what does it matter if I talk about topic y here or there? If you have a place with a community you like, then you are set. I guess I wasn't precise enough when I wrote the previous post, well I was frustrated back then. The more accurate statement would rather be that the uniqueness is lost, the Internet lacks variety and creativity.
I know your issue with the faster and bigger sites, I had that too. You get stuff way faster and you get way more too. You are basically being entertained around the clock. Stuff like being quoted, upvoted, shared, suggestions, discovering something new and whatever only gives you more and more dopamine kicks. Due to the low quality on the big websites I retreated to smaller ones though, this was already 6 years ago and I don't miss it at all.
Unfortunately, none of the threads you linked are the one I meant, but thank you for your effort.

>>13638>the Internet lacks variety and creativitylike, I get what you're saying… but at the same time, when I think about it, I'm sure it must be objectively false. There are more people on the net then ever and the old sites and tools have never really gone away. There's still irc and bbs but now there's tor and people trying to start 'federated' internet and just so many programmers making weird things and putting them up. And then there's all online games… that's probably where most decline can be seen, old unpopular mmo's really are probably ghost towns if servers for them can even still be found.
I'm not saying your wrong, cause I feel it too, but surely there's more going on.
No.13643
>>13639The Internet is more of an extension of the real life now, instead of being a world on its own. It is centralized and commercialized nowadays. Most of those new people didn't immigrate into the existing world, they took it over like conquerors and changed it, while corporations, politicians and so on followed. The old Net surely still exists, like you said, irc, bbs, forums, image boards, textboards and so on, but they are not the powerhouse the once were. Many of them dont exist anymore, turned bad or lost a tremendous amount of users. I understand what you mean, although to me it is like instead of having countless colours on the Internet we only have a few today, but in different shades.

>>13643Yeah that could be it. Eternal September as they say. Back in the day it wasn't just easy to get online. You couldn't do it on a computer you carried in your pocket made of shiny user friendliness. It must have felt like like passing through some kind of veil. Somewhat magical. And I bet when that was how it was, there were people who would go through the effort and end up in obscure places who nowadays dont need to bother as much. Just stay on Facebook. So theres both less people putting in effort to connect with odd communities online, and more people who never would have ended up on the internet. Well kept gardens die by pacifism as they say.

Ha, the first comment was exactly what I tripped over and wanted to confirm, lol.
>>13658Thanks roll fren. The thing I had trouble with tho was noticing that the unrolling corrisponded to the sin function, when I first saw the gif it wasn't obvious that should be true, and if it wasn't, the density of dx in the final integration would be wrong, right?
>>13657I was a little worried I was going to get made fun of for all the handwaving I did in my exploration of why unrolling should be sin(x), so it's kinda a complement to hear it looks smart. TY… But! "Smart" is how fast a person could go if they try, "effort" is how fast they actually go, and "knowledge" is the places they go and the things they see. I hope you aren't feeling bad about yourself… Just because you haven't seen something I have, doesn't mean you aren't smart or that you haven't picked up some really cool pieces of knowledge!

I'm doing okay. Like the sushi roll above I'm feeling a bit lonely, but it's nothing too terrible. I don't relate to my old friends anymore and I'm really struggling to make new ones. Plus I'm not so good at friendship. I frequently forget to talk to friends for months at a time, which is probably why I have so few.
In the last year I did accept myself for who I am, and got rid of a lot of self hatred, which is nice. Now I can examine some feelings that have been bubbling below the surface for ages and it's been cathartic to examine them. I don't need that external validation anymore. The freedom is nice.
Beyond the emotional garbage I've been making some minor repairs to my house. I'm pretty bad about getting projects done in a reasonable timeframe though…
