@arturovm 😂 Nah, I was joking about my real-life skating skill level.
-
I'm currently scoping out a legit skate spot that's definitely for higher level players, but I think that with enough patience and potions a similarly leveled player could take the HP hits and use it to level fast. #skateboarding
-
@kai :( Maybe go for it and then trade up later on?

@feld this is the reference that I wanted to see in the world 🥂

Somehow it just hit me that if I don't figure out some way of maintaining the scholastic and analytical mindset that I've gained with college, I'll lose it shortly after graduation and being shoved around by regular life. And this is a mindset that I suspect lends me quite an advantage in life and the labor market, so the notion of losing it has me worried. 😥 #personal
-
I would like to introduce the notion of a long-tailed detail, a detail that opens some many more descriptive questions than it suggests.
Consider the case of describing someone's voice as "breathy" but providing no additional details.
-
@arturovm Ah, no, I don't think so. I'm making a joke about the name of "float" with respect to the notion of gravity as a library/package
-
Blah this would make more sense as: there were integers that unexplainedly changed values over time. Newton's grand theory of floats.
-
Before Newton wrote the gravity package, floats and integers returned the same value. #codinghumor

@davehunt Hey Dave, this might be a stupid question, but do you know of a way for blind persons to "see"/feel SVG or 3D objects that are digital? Maybe with devices that raise a surface according to topographic information?

"Give the thing" as in present it in front of the class and my professor. I went over the time allotted, but seemed to do okay otherwise, including answering my professor's questions mid- and after-presentation.
-
I'm now coming down from a period of fierce focus to hurriedly put together a good presentation about some of my literature review and then give the thing (with running to class and getting there with two minutes to spare, in between — and I rarely run). #college #research #personal

// While taking a break from school work
Me: ugh [technical case with side project] might be frustrating
[hours go by]
Me: wait a minute, that's REALLY easy to test!

#Ideas Regarding algorithmically-sorted #socialnetwork timelines, your users may come to hate you, the network service provider, the better the results/content you provide and the less explicit your sorting algorithm is. The less comprehensible the algorithm, the less trust in you, the provider, and this matter is made *worse* by delivering quality results with that algorithm, as now users see that you can catch quality stuff with the algo, but now they're very free to wonder about what isn't shown to them. This is subtly different from Fear of Missing Out (#FoMO), which tends to be talked about in an endearingly codependent sort of way.

In today's class the Prof addressed why the "error" that I caught isn't an error, but I don't understand the explanation yet — I think that I will understand it after additional thinking about it, but I'm gonna focus on my research class's stuff for now. #college #personal

@lnxw48a1 @bthall Ah, I see. I know very little #LaTeX, but I use the text editor "Typora" that lets me write in #Markdown (and I think there's Textile options) but slap in blocks of LaTeX, allowing me to avoid needing to learn LaTeX to just make a whole doc. #Typora allows for extended markdown features, like Footnotes, which makes me happier with it, and has a nice table of contents view for jumping around in documents. 🥂
-
@Stoori Oh that does seem correct, grammar-wise! However, I was suggesting that it might be good to have a phrase that is understandable despite being quite distant from the correct formulation of it, such as containing grammatical and vocab errors.

#Ideas I would not be surprised to learn that the professionalization of #mentalHealth research and service provision has simultaneously increased awareness of MH issues and the importance of MH, but decreased the number of people willing and able to provide such services, with a net negative effect, especially with respect to making people feel more helpless than they would otherwise.

@lnxw48a1 Have you tried the local breakfast cuisine?
