I go (went?) to a very competitive STEM magnet school. We had 5 minutes of meditation at the start of class once a week. Sometimes it was nice, other times it was actively harmful. If there was a test we had to make up for lost time by stay

I think they're fine products but they just don't work for me. I need full control over my stuff and apple won't give it to me. Of course, given that I don't like Apple, some of the stuff they do like iMessage and the hu

on reading some of the comments here I've added some more security, but you're right that I'm not worried about security. The limitations I added should prevent your average prankster from sending an infinite loop to their te

I somewhat agree, but I feel that being able to do math/logic with Lua makes it superior for this use case since I'm not worried about security

thanks, I've fixed it

I hadn't added this before I posted here but Lua does have a way to limit vm instructions so I've added a pretty conservative limit

well I've been super impressed by luajit in the past but given that the simulation is pretty highly multithreaded I don't think a Lua version would do so well in comparison

I'm not really sure about accessibility, but I've been having a good time with boba.css. It's on the smaller size and is CSS only, but, at least for me, it has every feature I want.

I love sage and I used it for multivar calc this year but unfortunately it's not as good in some aspects (mainly symbolic integration) as Mathematica. One of my primary motivations for learning math is being able to contribute

for me it was when I discovered desktop environments and window managers other than gnome/kde. I can't go back to not having so much customization.

I understand why they're doing this and I think it's a good idea, but I'm annoyed that it has to be done. I doubt that this will catch on with any other companies that use facial recognition, and to be honest the technology i

In the past few weeks I've been a bit more conscious of this since I've been playing games with voice chat. In csgo the majority of women who used their mic were treated terribly. On the other hand, in valorant, which I've pl

it can replace gimp but it's not made for it. I'm not sure about how much the new grease pencil adds for photo editing though.

I did this sophomore year because my French teacher wanted things handwritten. I spent a lot of time making it fit on the lined paper and getting the color just right but I'm sure she figured it out anyway.

I don't care about startup time in my window manager but st launches in 50 ms and alacritty takes 500 which is a noticeable and annoying difference so I'll take st every time. A lot of the time I want to open the terminal with a s

The desktop was pretty terrible for me (on Linux) for until a few months ago, but now it works perfectly. The only thing missing is sms from the desktop but from what I understand Signal won't ever add that because sms isn't secur

I've read through that course! Luckily I accidentally installed Ubuntu when I was in 6th grade because I read it would give me higher fps in Minecraft and it had an exe installer so I didn't realize it was a whole OS. I've be

Yeah I've recently been trying leetcode and codeforces and I'm way worse at it than I'd expected. It's fun though, so I'm working hard to improve. Thanks for your advice!

Luckily I went to a really hard high school. I breezed through middle school and then completely flunked freshman year so I learned my lesson early. I'm 100% sure that if I had not gone to such a hard high school I would've comple

Yeah I can totally see where you're coming from. I go (went?) to a STEM high school and since I'd already been coding for a while at that point I basically had the same attitude and then AP Computer Science ended up being one of m

Those are all classes I think I'd find very interesting. Recently I've tried to naively write my own game engine and OS and failed pretty miserably.

Man, to be honest I was looking forward to not having to take humanities classes now. I have my first advisor meeting for scheduling classes in a few days, so I'll be sure to find something with lots of writing. Thanks for the advice.

I haven't thought about trying to be a developer in a non-IT field; it seems like something I'd really like to do. I spend most of my time coding on side projects, so as it turns out I'm not great at algorithms. Recently I&#x

To be honest, I would consider finding some sort of bootcamp type thing if not for my parents being pretty dead set on college. I do have a lot of stuff I want to learn which will, in my limited experience, be a lot easier to to understand

as a non web developer who needed to get a static site with a consistent header and footer up I just made a makefile which watches an src directory and cats the header and footer onto each file
