Js is hard TvT


why do ya say that


js is hard but js libraries are fun


What kind of JS libraries are you working with?


libraries full of books about javascript


Pandasan how's the learning going?


Oh god i havent even gone to the libraries part


What why are there libraries dont libraries have a lot of reading material


Im still in like the super basic stuff such as the button onclickmyFunction etc etc


Keep going


You can do this


Its extremely Interesting but also very hard to understand idek how to explain it


What is? Libraries?


Or js?


The math functions


The var thingy


Oh I see


Yeah. Im not learning through an institution so i just keep researching about it on the net.


Might be a good idea to learn all of the basics before you start researching how built in functions work:p


Whoah whats built in functions


Oh thats what I thought you were referring to


Nvm


What exactly are you struggling to understand? Xd


Oh nah im just learning stuff through th modern js website. I was learning from w3schools but a friend told me to study modern js


So i went to that website and


Well basically


It is understandable


But


How th am i supposed to remember all this?


Well, nobody remembers everything, a programmer looks up things all the time


But it helps to remember and understand things if you apply everything you learn


Create a small website using what you've learned


MDN is probably the nicest resource for a JS docs


Woa i thought yall got these things tatooed on yer brains


Oh alright ill check mdn out


Oh yes


How exactly do i practice?


Create websites related to what you're learning


Are you looking to do frontend, backend, full stack or something else with JS?


If you are learning about variables, create a small website that adds two variables together for example


If you are learning loops, create a site tht loops ten times and prints something


Etx


Etc


Well basically i wanted to do both and i saw through yt viss that atleast i need knowledge on js css html PyroclasticMayhem


Oh i understand


So full stack then


And ye


I'd suggest this course for later down the line if you want to learn React, MongoDB, GraphQL, writing tests in Jest, and TypeScript


Yes you def should practice immediately


Hmm i understand.


Btw doesn't follow stack need other languages like python/ruby?


Full


Depends


Not necessarily


Mainly on which backend framework you go with and such


You can have node js for backebd


Backend


For JS there's NodeJS, if you go Python there's Django, or Ruby with Rails


Oh yeah whats node js?


Is it like js but for softwares?


A JS runtime for backend


Its just js that can run outside ur web browser


For the server side, as well as scripts and such


Oh i understand.


A lot of discord bots are made in node js for example


Yeah i had one made from a friend and he apparently made it through node too


Gah but i lost so much time learning html and css now that im learning js html css is so easy to me


For the backend API that would look something like this


Express and Koa are the common web app frameworks


Oh god


Dont worry if it seems very complex


You'll learn it eventually


This particular example is for routing but all this stuff is covered in the fullstackopen course.


Oh yes im def gonna check out the course once im done w the js basics


What influence can js create in the front end part?


Oh my


Influence?


Js is very important for frontend


Woah really?


OH yes of course


For web dev now React, Vue.js, and Angular are probably the common web frameworks.


Yeah i totally forgot wevsites have many pages


Laravel for PHP


Whats a framework?


Im sorry if im boring you w my questions


If html and css's responsibility is putting elements on the web page and making it look nice, javascript is what can be used to make elements do things aside from their normal behaviour, I think thats an intuitive way of thinking about js


For a web framework it's a way to build webpages I suppose. React has a page on what they do


React uses JSX which is kind of a mix of HTML and JS


A framework is just code written by other people to help you do certain things easier, possibly with less code as well


Ohh basically like a stylesheet but for specific functions


The components are probably the big part of the web frameworks.


Mmm i see i see


More like, frameworks have functions you can use instead of coding them yourself panda


Not rly stylesheets


Oh i understand


Gah learning this is gonna take a while isnt it


After learning the other 2 i was like oh 3 more days and im a js pro


More like 3 years


Oh yeah you'll never be finished


Such as for one of the fullstackopen project involving a countries page there would be several components part to it


You learn 1 thing, you get 3 new things to learn


You already know more than the majority of people so good job so far!


I would also suggest using a nice text editor like VS Code if you aren't aready.


Oh i see so thats different components


And thank you TvT


Oh yes i was using sublime text atfirst


But then i switched to vs code


Linting is also a nice thing to learn a bit later maybe


Oh whats that?


Basically has your code follow a style guideline


Oh i Understand


And allthese codes are just for webdevs right


Let's say with airbnb they have a whole guide on what styles they use for their projects to keep the code consistent


Are there like a totally different set of languages for softwares?


Different set of languages?


Ohhh i see i see


Not necessarily


But ofc writing code for websites will be a little different


As opposed to writing software


Hmm i understand


It's possible to mix and match I suppose in fullstack.


Such as a ReactJS frontend and Python backend in Django if you don't want to use Node.


Yeah i heard pythons better for backend then node


Hmm


I think it's more of a prefernce thing when it comes to backend.


They all do the job well generally.


Discussions about which programming language is better are p much never productive


Yeah


Try a few and pick the one you like the most


2 years ago i started python before knowing what html and css was. i totally didn't understand anything and gave up . But thankfully i finally am like climbing the ladder one by one T.T


Yep you are


Try to have fun with it


oh yeah do commercial wevsites also use only these languages or do they need another set of codes?


There are also languages that transcompiles to JS like with TypeScript


Reddit uses python for backend


Google uses python and a few other languages


Some devs do prefer to use TS instead of vanilla JS


Yeah ts is trending


Oh so should i switch to ts or just continue w the modern js?


You still need to know JS


OH i see i ser


TS more adds on to JS and changes some things


Ohh its like the extras after an anime


Lmaoo


I like the way you think


Stick with js until you've mastered the basics


Hmm i understand. Js is very vast right?


Like its not as small as html/css


Very vast yes


So theres not really completely learning everything about it


Well


HTML/CSS are generally more markup languages


JS is a programming language


You can completely learn all of JS' features


But there are many libraries


No way you can learn them all


Fortunately you don't have to


Woah that just gave me a brain erection


And oh i see thats good


Yeah I cringe when people call html/css a programming language


Dude i was so disappointed


After knowing that css isnt like


An independent language


I hate CSS


Wutt why


It's an absolute pain to work with sometimes:p


But then again, I prefer working with the backend anyways


Oh yeah


What's wrong w being a full stack developer?


Nothing wrong with it


Do what you prefer


I see i see


If youre doing freelancing, isnt it most convenient to be full stack?


Or is it still upon preference?


Hmmm


I'd say it depends


If you specialize in backend for example, you might be more familiar with more obscure technologies and/or frameworks, so you'd have an easier time getting work if you're well known within a niche


Same with frontend


But there are job opportunities for frontend, backend, and full stack so just do what you prefer tbg


Tbh


Mmm i see i see


My country has a bad rep on it


Like you definitely need a degree to have a job


And even if i do want to study software engineering along the run,


I'd definitely wanna learn some before doing that:3


You don't need a degree to freelance tho:p


I don't have a degree, but I've done a few freelancing jobs


Yeah i think ill need to do freelancing too


It's fun


My unsolicited advice for you would be to try and make it as fun as possible:p


Oh yeah im definitely gonna make websites about news portals and make funny articles about my friends


I did that too


I made websites for my friends too, was fun


Hehe yes. Ill keep you updated on my js massacre. Thank you for bearing with my stupid questions T.T


Not at all, it was fun


Alrightt. I'll seeya later then. Thank you!

Topic: Do you think life exists outside of Earth?


The universe is waaay to big for life to be only on Earth


Honestly imo it depends on what you believe. Personally, I feel that we are the only life that does exist.


Like, comparing to how big the universe is it's literally nexttoimpossible for other life not to exist


But the thing is it's not impossible for us to be the first advanced life in the universe, most alien life is probably just cells and shit nothing interesting really, space is a very choatic place with many violent events happening all the time, that we humans haven't been erased by one of these events is just pure luck, it's one of the things preventing advanced life from like, actually even coming to the advanced part.


alienss yes


I wonder how the other lifeforms are doing then


And I would like to know if one day humanity will meet some kind of alien


I don't think that would necessarily be very good for us, but man it would be so cool if we could have a society where aliens and humans coexist


when we achieve AGI, that'll probably be very alien to us anyway


That would be cool. I mean tbh, there is something called the Goldilocks Universe, a theoretical idea that everything just happened to line up perfectly for us to live, but I think that's BS


Honestly, theres probably millions of pockets in the universe where advanced ecosystems thrive


The idea that we are the only living thing in the universe is unrealistic.


Mmm to combine those two ideas, I think that things just happened to line up perfectly to get to us as a civilization now specifically the formation of planet Earth etc., but that doesn't mean that we are the only living things in the universe


There are probably multiple other sets of random events in multiple places in the vast universe that have created other definitions/ forms of life


Very likely yes

yeah, me too, i wanna frickin learn hackin


can anyone teach me pls?


There is a fckin life existed outside of the Earth. Particularly the Mars. Astronauts discovered that Mars has its own water like Earth's that flows elsewhere and scientists concluded that if there is water then there is life; especially the carbon element that can be gathered there.


And most of us know that carbon is considered as one of the elements needed to create a life, or where a living being is created from.

looking for some advice on how to fix my switch's NAT type without access to the router bc my dorm is ass and supervision won't fix me a DMZ to access online services. honestly kinda my last attempt at fixing this myself before i cave and just buy a giga cube through gritted teeth.


already tried changing my DNS settings, doesn't really work so that sucks, looking for alternatives to fixing this. it's fine if you guys don't care about my little tech problem but i'd assume that if someone knows how to fix this they'd be in this channel.


idk if it'll help with your problem but at some point the wifi from my router didn't work for the switch at all so I used my phone hotspot for wifi and it worked


i'll try that, thanks hei


doesn't work the switch won't even connect to the hotspot


imo routers are cheap and super useful in dorm life, so its def worth getting


looks like the NAT type is just a simple way of troubleshooting how good your network connection is for a nintendo switch


so a switch can't actually connect with wifi that requires a secondary authentication through internet browsers ie university logins or hotels but there are a couple workarounds that you could try


if your uni has a guest wifi network which doesn't require any signin, you can always use that. it'll be a bit slow and might require reconnecting every so often, but it'll likely work


there's this tool called connectify which shares your wifi from a laptop or a phone and uses it as a hotspot. it'll probably throttle your connectivity if you're trying to stream movies or videos on your laptop/phone, but it can get you connected.


additionally, there's this guide on reddit that could work as well


hope this helps mun! good luck!


omg thanks aerie i'll definitely try those things out, hopefully that connectify thing won't fill my laptop with adware


if the connectify solution works that'll be a lot cheaper if i buy the full version of that than a giga cube so that's a great alternative, if it works that is


do you have an ethernet port in your room?


if so, you could prob just buy a cheap router and have a personal network


i do have a port but sadly it's not working


For the uni's as well some of them can whitelist your MAC address so you don't have to login often through the guest wifi.

it would be faster if countries just worked together on this


A collaboration between the scientific and medical community on all fronts, whether it be from North America, Europe, or Asia, would cut the time this pandemic lasts.

megamika Science, Technology, Engineering, Math


But last week, the company suddenly informed both the KDE e.V. board and the KDE Free QT Foundation that the economic outlook caused by the Corona virus puts more pressure on them to increase shortterm revenue. As a result, they are thinking about restricting ALL Qt releases to paid license holders for the first 12 months. They are aware that this would mean the end of contributions via Open Governance in practice.


Oh. Sht. Not QT.


It would appear the latest changes to discord has been causing problems with our current bots. Specifically the ones running an older version of d.js from over a year ago


But with gRPC you can leverage HTTP/2 streams, which is great for backend service orchestration.


Ah, my bad I skimmed too much. You're using it to interface the database? Reason for that over an ORM? Or are you meaning Service Query DbService Db?


If you're looking to build a distributed system with hooks for say, a service that manages xp/currency, I'd recommend doing pub/sub with a message broker. And then just subscribe services that care about those updates.


In fact, I'd decouple from Discord entirely which seems to be what you're on to.


T Service cares about currency updates, subscribes, where T is perhaps a Bot or another client.


I'd agree with GraphQL from a frontback standpoint, since you do mention that.


I've been working for like 20 hours, so I'm missing details due to sleepdeprived brain, apologies


If you want something FUN to build that's probably overkill, I'd recommend working with Kafka a bit here.


My intentions are to build something more monolithic over multiple services for the most part. From there, I need to build out the merged version of my 5 bots with the same functionality I currently have. In the somewhat near future I would like to include a react website as well as a twitch bot so I thought gql made the most sense there.


Otherwise I currently use an ORM to interface with the database for each bot and their own respective database.


Generally, the way I'd structure something like this from front to database is:


FrontEnd GraphQL API Gateway Service Map GraphQL? Repository Layer Database


Nothing wrong with the bots being aggregated into a single service


If you don't want to be tied to an ORM, I'd suggest checking out hexagonal architecture/clean architecture


Use adaptors and mediators to allow swappable implementations.


That, or make an API specifically for data ownership


In DDD architecture, you typically want only 1 service to be able to query the database/tables


so that's something to keep in mind


Sure, you don't have to follow that rule


But the moment you have multiple services querying the same database, gonna wish you started out that way


I'd also place clear contexts around what you'd call bot functionality and ASS functionality and at a detailed level, your domains


are the two the same? if not, they should probably be separated


but, it's should


you can have a monolith that does everything and just separate it out in the monolith


They don't need to be separate networked services


just sharing my approach, I think you're on the right track


I would only have a separate bot for things such as our join command or our verify command that don't make sense to have on a public bot as they are specific things I use for ass. Other things such as the moderation and the currency suite should be all rolled into one as I am just tired trying to maintain 5 different codebases.


Absolutely


and the number of bots shouldn't really matter, either, necessarily


I don't want to really delve into microservices at the moment just due to my lack of experience with this even at a monolithic level. So ideally just a single service that interfaces with the database and expose endpoints that whatever other services I build interface with.


What would work is basically lay out the application logic in specific contexts/domains, to keep it simple. Then you'd just have a driver adapter i.e., bot, or any user input interface impl that calls those internal services


Depending on how you'd want to group them, like:


interface ICurrencyService


interface IUserService


etc.


Implement them with an injectable repository interface interface IUser?


Implement the IUser repo adapter to use your ORM or whatever you decide


Then you'd have a concrete bot implementation that makes calls to injectable services substitute those interfaces with, say, a concrete IUserService implementation


bot.userService.DoApplicationLogic or whatever the signature may be


With that, you could break out the monolith into external services without needing to rebuild the entire application.


I.e., simply change IUserService's repository adapter to make API calls or something.


TypeScript would be better for something like this, if you're not using it already.


And having a system designed like this means you can effectively manage unit tests and integration tests if you want to improve reliability of your services.


You can take some inspiration from something like this:


and just tailor the structure to your needs


Most microservices aren't fundamentally different from applicationlevel services


Can often see them as networked wrappers for singleresponsibility logic.


How do you like TS generally Tris compared to plain JS?


I love it, way less surprises


typesafety is too good.


Also helps a lot with intellisense.


You can get quite a lot out of plain ES6, though


but interfaces/contracts are simply wonderful, i.e., for substituting


and generics...


I wonder what the difference in performance there would be generally.


Is there a difference in performance? AFAIK it just compiles back down to js


probably about the same as babel es6, id imagine


not to mention, ts is a superset of js by definition, so it'd probably be the same.


I don't think TS gives functionality as much as it does syntax and linter rules


unlike, say, ES6 polyfill


the transpiling process probably only differs when it comes to class relationships/hierarchies, like inheritance


favor composition!


anyway, hope that helped

I don't play alot of pc games but the one I do I want to work smoothie it's mainly frame lag so I'm just wondering if this is okay for that


what's the price?


dollars?


Yes


Seems to be fine, the graphics card is not top, but for the price it seems like an ok build, ofc you could probably get it cheaper by yourself but seems fine. The SSD is a little small and probably possible to get a better graphics card


But for most things this seems pretty good


For that price tho, can't complain


I don't play bulky games, just overwatch and Minecraft mainly


Luken is the 1660 that bad?


I am just thinking that you can probably fit a 2060 in that budget


but it is a good gpu as far as i know


I mainly have frame lag cause my old PC isn't meant for gaming it's for more productivity


I need to get a new rig myself, but I also can't bottleneck it like I am with my current gpu


in the 750S dollar range you should be able to fit a 300S gpu


but maybe im wrong


gpu should be the big money investment


yeah I got myself a radeon 580


but with what i have it bottlenecks really bad


you do?


yea


amda10 6800k and that don't really mix well


in my experience


the gpu works fine but the cpu bottlenecks super bad


is that cpu that bad?


usually pretty hard to get CPU to bottleneck GPU


obviously game dependant


but things like DirectX 12 works to try to move over more work to the GPU


either my cpu has degraded really badly or yes


what games do bottleneck?


literally anything


weird, but maybe that cpu is just bad or has degraded


seems like the cpu is pretty shit


you need to upgrade it


Ive got like 2,300S to spend on a pc and was thinking about getting this. Any opinions?


If you want to spend 2300S on a pc you should try to get a 2080 ti, feels like you should be able to if you want to get it top for gaming


Most 2080tis are like 10001300S range so if I got one of those I would probably have to cut out on stuff like storage which I really need


And I also dont really play much games that are like ridiculously graphic heavy so I dont really think I would need much better than that


Maybe you're correct but feels like 1300 S should be enough to get storage and all that stuff


What is your use case and are you looking for prebuilt mainly?


Luken well thats 1300 but without taxes and warrantys


PyroclasticMayhem Im not really looking mainly for prebuilt but I just liked how that one looked and its a fairly good price for the components and being a prebuilt


And since its an Alienware prebuilt i cant really buy the case anywhere else

Deborah Needs Space Yes I've done psych papers before. Are you talking about APA format for citations?


Landrum While I don't know any rocket science books I would like to recommend you a video on how rocket fuel is made.


James Thank you I managed to find what I was looking for though! I was panicking and asking around for the 7th edition of the APA citation manual earlier. No matter where I looked I couldn't find it and our library only had the physical copy which we can't access due to lockdown. And I thought they'd have distributed ecopies by now but nope!


A lovely axolot helped me out though so I'm ok now


James yes pls

This is the basic premise behind rocket fuel. Instead of using heat and flames for thrust, its instead energy released by a volatile chemical reaction.

so for the first antiderivative, we take it one step at a time, term by term


imo, distribute the sign first to make it simpler, and put each term into parentheses


and then we want to integrate each term, one by one


follow?


So that would become x4/2x3/34x29x


C


never forget the C!


Got it


so you have your first derivative:


f'x .5x41/3x34x29xC


so we solve for C using f'15


plugging in 1 for all the instances of x, and 5 as f'x to get C


So 5 equation C


yep


Where does the.5x come in as part of your equation as well?


I'm guessing you simplified it a bit more there


yeah, just to have the coefficient separate from the power of x


after you solve for C, you get your full equation for the first derivative


After that I'm guessing you take the integral of the f'x


yep!


What does the C become in that case


thats why i suggest to keep your coefficients away from your exponents


in which case? first derivative or in the og function


When finding the integral of f'x there is the C in the equation


So I'm not sure how to take the integral of the C exactly


you solve for it by plugging in the given f'1 5


C is a number that is unknown without a point


Alright, got it thanks!


i did not understand a single thing you all just said this is why i shouldnt be in the Stem” chat


you learned that aerie is super smart along with being super kind.


Yes


is just some of the more straightforwards calc stuff


it gets sooo much more scary


oop


going back to the anime chat;w;

bye bye


Calc 2 is going to be something


trig triggers me


i never understood trig during school


love this channel tho.


3b1b is so great for tutorials


I love 3b1b! I dont think he really does tutorials but his concept videos are the best


Best explanation of the fourier series and awesome linear algebra videos


Can someone explain what this whole Libra thing is and why people continue to advertise it? it's crypto but I'm guessing these users are using it for malicious purposes?


James It's a planned cryptocurrency that hasn't released yet lead by Facebook. There are a lot of fake scams around it though that is using the name.


Strange.


so which is best S, T, E or M?


S and M


Because S is great, but some S you can't have without M


see i think T and E are the best. i am kinda biased tho


Mmm I also like


E but everything really starts with M so gotta give it to em

i like making things for convenience in python and then trying to make an interface so that they can be useful to other people


So what is your choice anti virus/anti malware program?


On Windows Defender


So with windows defender are you creating your own exceptions and rules for the program? Or are you running default protection?


Generally default protection. But for programs that you might not trust too much Windows Sandbox or a virtual machine might be a good option.

I'm currently watching a Geography Now episode on Samoa, where it discusses the nature of timezones go to Samoa from America Samoa, and you arrive in 24 hours; go from Samoa to American Samoa, and you arrive yesterday, because it's 24 hours behind with the timezone.


It reminds me of a question I asked in a Geography class in secondary school UK; in the USA, it's high school, where I asked If someone went in a rocket, and flew around the world backwards faster than the speed of light, would they go back in time?, and the Geography teacher without sarcasm answered something like Yes, probably, thus giving me a wrong view of timezones and the physics of time for many years thereafter. School here is stratified by ability we have sets, where all of the top achievers are put in the top class etc. and, myself being in that top class, I don't think she said it just to dismiss the question. To this day, I think she genuinely believed that's how it works.


has anyone here done a postgraduate degree in environmental science or something related?


Being new to coding I find it fun to make small websites. That aren't functional in all ways but different ways each time.

wdym correctly use batch files?


do you mean to run them or write them?


Write them is probably the closest to it


I'm basically wondering if there's a way of me getting to run that code internetcafe by me simple double clicking a.bat file on my desktop if that makes sens


to successfully save a script as a batch file, you gotta save w/e script as a batch file


this can be done through any text editor even notepad by changing the save as type to All Files and renaming the file into whateverscriptnameyouwant.bat


assuming you have the script already


Well i don't have the scrip already sadly


That's kinda what im trying to figure out


I should have probably said that. Sorry


bash scripts want to start with


followed by w/e commands you want to run through the bash script


so in your case, since you just want to run an executable through bash, your script will likely contain

S.T.E.M. Discussion


Topic: With some states/provinces reopening retail stores and other nonessential businesses, do you believe this would end up with a second wave of COVID19?


I wouldn't go as far as to say a wave, but ofc this depends on how people act. It also depends on how governments act, if a wave seems to be coming and the govt goes back into lockdown then it would be more like a ripple. However, if left unkept we could most likely get a second wave but most likely much more dampened


Idk, a lot of governments are really pushing to reopen as soon as possible, I think it's quite likely we'll see another wave near the end of summer


if end of summer is the time frame that'd suck


i think a second wave is highly possible


i mean unless there's a vaccine for it that i don't know about


which could be likely i live under a rock


I think a second wave is likely but death rates should be lower because of more ventilators/ more hospital capacity


After that even if a vaccine isn't developed the herd community model should kick in and reduce the infection rates to prevent another major outbreak hopefully


How to predict contagion using 3 factors: mortality rate, time from infection to death, and days to double


That's

The US Senate yesterday voted by a single vote to allow government agencies like the FBI and CIA to access your browsing history without a warrant.


This means they would not need to show probable cause for believing you have committed a crime before requiring your ISP to hand over its records on your web browsing and search histories


I mean I see that the have a good intent


But I'm going to have to heavily disagree with that


is this just another reason to get a good VPN?


cookieboi8754 Intent doesn't matter much in lawmaking. Consequences do. This will definitely get abused as soon as it comes into power. Everyone has something possibly incriminating in their browsing history. Scour through enough ISP logs and they'll get something to pin on you if you have a target on your back.

I was stuck on my Science Olympiad Boomilever. I got 1st with it, but my team didn;t qualify for state


Hoi


answers thirteen hours later


no actually i will answer in 9 hours


Been stuck on a project countless times. Overcoming stuckness is usually just a function of how persistent you are in looking for solutions.


The satisfaction from overcoming it and actually finding a solution is also proportional... at least, most of the time.


I'm accounting for the cases where the solution is actually scrapping the project or massive rework due to external circumstances. Speaking from experience,


would anyone want parts from a laptop im soon gonna replace?


soon meaning like months or less


im gonna get a gaming laptop and id not like to scrap the parts just in case someone else wants it

So It looks fun and It's never bad to know how to code and people that know how to code very well they get very good paid jobs

nasa is streaming their launch soon


oh launch of what?


SpaceX launches some astronauts for NASA as a test flight. Quite significant for both SpaceX and NASA.


Sending two astronauts to the ISS


Its significant though because its the first manned space x flight and the first time we are launching astronauts from the US again IIRC


Since 2011 iirc


Sounds like it will be cancelled due to the weather.


yep, they just confirmed. Such a shame


Looks like they're aiming for the 30th next


rip launch


I think the failure the other day was due to ground service equipment.


the failure was also a totally different ship


it's seriously crazy how much tech is involved in this stuff


I remember watching when they launched the car I think it was and seeing both rockets just slamming back to earth, slowing down and just landing right on their pads


it's incredible what they have managed to accomplish


That video gave me goosebumps


Heck, the first time they landed a rocket already gave me goosebumps


I'm very excited in their progress.


Honestly hoping they get to Mars any time in my lifetime


I imagine what's going on in their heads right now


it must be intense


hope it goes well


1 minute till launch if you don't have a stream


im watching it there too


Not even American, but man, this is some awesome stuff


Oh, I've seen it, especially Falcon Heavy. I could watch it land all day, never gets old.


insane how fast they are going too


The touchscreen panels are quite the new thing as well.


First stage landing time.


Those touchscreens... It's like they're playing a sim game.


Btw, SpaceX also made a web game based on the same touchscreen UI for their ISS approach


If you want to try the actual orbital maneuvers I can recommend Kerbal space program


Watching the launch live hit different


Docking confirmed!


They're about to open the remaining hatches... Love how they're talking about setting up their cameras for the event

Universe colonization


We will own all the planets


i dont think weve ever gone on any other planet tho... i think well at least gone on mars once maybe


NBBrathen A very optimistic view indeed. I do know that when 2024 rolls around we plan on trying to create something along the lines of a moon base, and spaceX does plan on colonizing Mars even though its still a decently hard task to pull off the main issue with colonizing all planets within our solar system is solely based on how hostile and inhabitable some of them are. Venus is hot as hell, mercury may as well be a moon, all gas giants are out of the question, and all other planets are so far away from the sun you'd freeze on them.


However, some moons within our solar system could still be used for resources. Titan has massive amounts of methane and other hydrocarbons.


come talk to us on room B


pretty cool video about the upcoming lunar mission


I wish I could go to the moon too, and see the earth from the moon and all other plants around If there are any and the stars too

Unsure whether to buy a 2in1 laptop, regular laptop, or upgrade my 2017 iPad Pro, for college


What do you plan to do


With it


Take notes on either a 2in1 laptop or on my iPad Pro. Not sure. And also type up and annotate documents


You a fast typer? Or going to use pen?


Need any x8664 programs or could you survive with mobile/ windows arm stuff?


Gonna use a pen


I would prefer Word or Google Docs


handwriting text is an option but you could use both too


Or Notability


If you're going to use a bunch of handwriting then something like OneNote or Evernote might be good


For on the fly ocr etc


So which device would I get then?


Depends on budget and how much typing/ handwriting ratio you're going to do


My budget is S1500 and I would probably do 5050 for them


2 in 1 or a surface might be a good bet then


Maybe slightly more writing


Make sure you don't get the mobile chip one


What is that?


Get a real intel one


Ah


Okie dokie


Also when do you have to buy


Now or in a few months?


No clue, before September I guess


Before my first year of college starts


Is 256GB enough for college work?


Surface Pro 7


Aye I am looking at that


Is my rec


My brother has one


It's enough

Hi


So, I was thinking can u make quick cash without buying hardwares


Where is red


Who knows


Present!


Me too


Okay... Well besides the hardware which like i said requires steady power supply and money


Investment is needed like any business


Steady power supply V


Money X


You can get cryptocurrency by buying them in ur preferred wallet... Or getting them foe free during airdrops


I spend my money on nonneeded things


Airdrops?


Like in iphone?


Can I start mining without buying from wallets


Bitcoin is expensive yo


CHILLY yeye


Noo Like in iphone?


Jards no


Tariq u don't mine in wallets


Let's forget about mining... Since it is costly and requires alot of electricity


Nah I'm talking bout starting from scratch


Can i also get money in phones?or only in computers


No buying coins


Just pure mining. What luck will I have?


What we would focus on is the investing and airdrops


Investing and profiting


Yes


Makes sense


Well u can gain more with mining you can also gain more with investing


Ooh


Profits


Tariq u Wil have to buy the hardware


N can I ask which hardwares specifically?


It's not cheap though... S500 range


Oof


Is like 50,000 in our country


Oh 25,000 i mean


Yeah... I once checked and I was like oh no... I Wil do it the better way


I want it like to have a side income u know just maybe one or two, if I get lucky or something


How much that will cost


S500 is like 170,000 in my country


Shikamaru dayum


Well Tariq you will need a wallet


My country's like 400000 yikes


Wow


Dayum


Wallet like an account?


Thats alot


Now the deal about crypto currency is this... Please pay attention for this


Oke


All ears


You buy it when the price is low and sell it when the price is high and make your profit... How much profit you make depends on how much you invest


And the great thing is that you never loose your money


Like stock market


Ooh


I never lose money


Omg


It's like a savings account where your money goes up when the price of the currency goes up... And believe me... It always goes up


How much did u make?


Take for example... In 2016...bitcoin was S100 range... And currently it is S9000


Like when i buy a house for 1 mill and sell it for 1.5 mill?


Hmm


Exactly!


Wowowoow


SSS


Moneyys


Umm Shikamaru i might have to go


So imagine people that bought bitcoin that 2016... They would have made alot of money now


Woowow


Its like 1 am here


I am sad I didn't know about this then


hehe


Shikamaru same


I would be a millionaire by now


I heard some guy was trying to buy at Starbucks with 3 bitcoins but it became 1.5 mil S


It risen overnight


well.. Currently I want to prepare my self and get at least 2 bitcoin... So that when ever the price goes to the roof... I cash out


That man be like:wth did i just did


Btw bye guys


Yeah


I need some sleepy sleep


Bye


Ty for teaching meShikamaru


I appreciated it!


Gn ya'll


Btw what kind of hardware do I need?


See yah


Bye CHILLY


Cya


Bye bye ty for teaching meh i gonna sleepy sleepy deep


Bye!

Topic: Are you familiar with cryptocurrency? Have you dabbled in it? Where do you think it's place is in society in the near future?


Sort of, I looked into Ethereum's smart contract system and some of the different cryptos. I'm not sure if we'll see it be adopted as a widely used currency but I can see the blockchain concept being used in various tech.


Yes. I enjoy learning about different investment strategies and currently own some bitcoin. That being said, I think that ultimately cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin fall into the a lot of the same patterns as equities as they become more and more regulated. The prime time to have bought bitcoin was before december of 2017 in my opinion, and since then we've seen some ups and downs, but nothing like before. Is it a high growth investment strategy? Maybe, but probably not like it used to be. That being said I'll still throw money in on more bitcoin every now and then. If bitcoin drops 40 again like it did on the pandemic black monday in march I will absolutely double up on my holdings


How much was 1 Bitcoin in S and 1 Bitcoin in euro? And how can you even get it?


I think 1bit is S9500


Don't know bout euro


i'm genuinely so intrigued by the concept of bitcoin cause i legit know absolutely nothing about what it is or what it does


crypto's in an odd spot rn kinda like some globalized stock market where all that matters is whether people care about crypto that day or not


ofc theres plenty of stuff to factor in like is there a pandemic today or am i going to need to leave my country really quickly but idt its stable enough to use as a tradeforgoods kind of currency


I code for a living

im not versed in webhooks so i cant say much to that


im thinking of the possibility of having a civilization underwater

im also down for a chat if ya wanna tag me

Topic: Have you been working on any interesting projects during quarantine? How's that going?


Let us know! stem


autum well, I have some ideas to make the game unique tho I still haven't decided what feature would be good


I started a discord bot for a private server I'm in and want to take the knowledge from that and make a larger game bot


What game? I'm not sure yet


TheSharkDude what language and api did you end up using?


Discord.js


ah javascript


how did that go? any major pains?


I mostly do web development so it seemed like a good fit for me


besides using js ofc


I implemented a good deal of the stuff I wanted


I added a command that lets you look up movies and tv shows for when we do movie nights on the server


oh that is really nice


have you ever considered doing a bot that interacts with a website


How so?


say for example something like what dndbeyond and it's bot does


Sort of


I wanted to try to make my own API so I started learning MongoDB and backend stuff


And I could use that API for both a bot and a website


I had an idea to do a bitlife clone but in a discord bot form


And a database which stores player saves


Then use that to make stuff look pretty on a webpage


Just a concept I was thinking about


i was fiddling with a concept myself yea


But most of that's on hold until my exams finish around the end of the month


it would have players make a character for my game and have it stored in either a python dictionary or something


From my research a database seemed like the best implementation for me


yea i could also end up using a database too


it wouldn't be hard to do given options available


Storing it locally in the bot's project folder might work for smaller stuff but I plan on making this one available to the public


So I'd need something more robust


if i made mine public i'd definitely consider it yea


I also gotta try to get a better hosting service for my bots


personally i say you could get a raspberry pi to host for the short term


until it gets picked up you dont have to worry about hosting much


at least that is my plan with say a pi 1 or a pi zero even


I would love a Raspberry pi tbh


they are fairly inexpencive


im thinking about getting one just because of how simple they seem to be and setting a zero up to be always on can't be too hard


Define fairly inexpensive


Cuz I don't live in the States so getting stuff shipped into the island costs an arm and a leg


where do you live?


cause a zero budget kit all the basics to start with no outside purches


is 40 usd


Barbados


So S80 in local currency


id look into it


there are some local pishops iirc to most places


Probably not one here tho tbh


look into it id be interested know


K


When I get back home


but a pi zero is the cheapest model so getting that would be best for sure given where you live


And logistically it makes less sense for there to be a human civilization underwater. It serves no intrinsic purpose as opposed to planetary colonies which can serve as refueling stops and mining outposts as humanity starts to expand into the Solar System


captain spaceship actually there is, we can make ocean our second home tho, like a property such as floating cities


I would think that building cities underwater would be difficult simply from the pressure of the water


Weighing down on the city


You would be correct


Factor in the in air filtration and the cost of transporting goods and you might as well just build a city on the moon


it's financially impractical yea to build under certain depths


and beyond a certain point on land building along the beach is also ridiculous, due to sand and needing to find the bedrock


has anyone seen vsauce3's latest video?


and if so could someone give me an explanation


my brain is three seconds from imploding in on itself


I havent, whats it about?


Rip


Just go watch Stein's gate xD


it says in the channel description


So when backholes close up, are they essentially eating themselves?


I'm not sure if the wording is quite correct, but black holes emit Hawking radiation and since Emc2 it will also lose its mass as result. They're fueled by matter and when there is no fuel, then the radiation will eventually close up the backhole.


someone can probably correct me if I'm wrong


Idk. But I wanna see black hole omm nom nom another or itself.


Or is that a Supernova?


i cant quite remember, but i think it has to do with the mass of a collapsing sun, it either turns supernova or implodes into a black hole


yeah you can discuss history in this channel


Thank you

I need java help:x please


okay show the code


do you know how to do it in discord


no:


those are backticks not apostrophes btw


above tab key on my keyboard


test


hmm


oooh


nice


ok


one sec


It has to be a while loop, and its supposed to be you put in a sentence and it counts the vowel


when i put in something like Hello it says 0 vowels


I'm almost sure my variable count needs to return something


So professor gave us two labs, one for a for loop and one for the while loop. I got the for loop working well, but the while loop is giving me troubles


If you reply can you @ me please, I'm gonna go eat dinner


yep, okay the problem was you didnt increment count, you left it 0, also you kept asking the string called s which was the input from the user hello to look at the count'th character, which was always 0, so it was looking at h in the example of hello


I fixed it


mezua requested ping


You needed to be asking s.charAti as i was changing every iteration of the loop


and unlike in your code, if any of the conditions are true being equal to a vowel it actually increments count


OOOh I see


I was trying to mimic the for loop


That's awesome thank you


How did you make your discord code pretty btw


chrunt


you needed to write java immediately after the 3 backticks


like that


and put your code where/test is


oooh durr


that's awesome


i can code java but not figure out discord got it


Thank you so much!


Missed out on some Java, dang


Hello


Uh well i kinda understand frontend stuff now. I wanna go into backend but im kinda skeptical about it. How hard is it? Im thinking of learning nodejs since i learned js and then the vuejs framework


Honestly it depends


I find backend easier to a degree but mainly because you dont need to worry about visual etc and I suck at visual


I feel its sometimes less tedious


If you know some js already, going node for your backend with something like react or vue is a no brainer


idk if this is the place for this but


Is it possible to have 3 monitors connected at the same time if 1 monitor is 4k and the others are 1080p?


Yes


What's your favorite distro /g/?


RawHav0kk Arch or Fedora


OpenSUSE is good too


Oh I see


Ever tried gentoo?


i considered it but dont care enough to be regularly compiling


arch is granular enough for me


Arch


Yeah I thought ill die when the firefox update hit


but it's not as bad to be honest


For me its manjaro, although I feel that it wont be the case for long


manjaro is nice but it comes preinstalled with more than i like


Yh thats true


I just chose it as my first distro to get a feel for linux. After a while I'll try another distro.


S.T.E.M. Discussion


Topic: Do you prefer to build a PC or buy a premade? Why?


I Prefer building a PC cuz OwO


premade because i cant build


It's preferable build one, even if u don't know how to, you can always search youtube videos about that. Why? Because it's enjoyable to build your own PC with your favourite good looking parts.


honestly it depends on how much of a price/time dofference it give me, on top of performance boon


I always build it. There is no reason to get premade.


Custom build generally as you can hand pick certain parts that premade PCs might be more lower end on.


Damn, Unity has really come a long way.


Their DataOriented Technology Stack


yep sounds about right


the only real solution is just picking something and starting


yea but it is good work


id still rec starting with one stack at a time


Once you learn a Clike generalpurpose language, it'll carry over to many others. faef9uy7wtgfd21


While it may not be useful to you right now, Golang encompasses a lot of concepts you'll find across many languages and it's relatively easy to learn.


Unless you're confident you can learn C nuances without much issue, which I'd say give it a go


Oh, I misread


Running on too low of sleep


Well, in that case, you should check out Rust sometime particularly its FFI.


As for.NET reverseengineering, all you need is a good understanding of CLR and IL.


CLR via C is a good reference book for that.


Though pardon my ignorance, cybersec isn't my forte

Hi, could anyone talk to me about swapping out an SSD on my laptop?


SelkieSiren Sure, are you replacing it with a different SSD?


Hi, yeah


So basically I bought myself a brand new laptop, and Im a super dummy when it comes to laptops


It has 128gb SSD and someone said that was too small


So I was thinking about buying a bigger SSD to replace it


It depends what you do as well. 128GB could be fine for a lot of people.


On my old laptop, I have currently used 369gb/581 gb so...


Im not sure if 128gb will be good for me


Amazon is selling this


Ah ok. Do you know if your laptop has an NVMe or a SATA SSD slot?


Im not too sure


One sec


Maybe this will help give you an idea of what my laptop specs are


It looks like a M.2 SATA SSD in that case


I bought it for S618 total, including taxes


Was that a good deal?


Doesn't seem like a bad deal overall for an i710510U


And I wouldnt mind paying a hundred for 1TB SSD


Great, thats what I was hoping


That I didnt make a dummy purchase,


Do you have a model name for your laptop as well?


This ones a little harder


Its literally called HP Laptop 15t dw100


Its not exactly this, but kind of with different specs


This one offers 256GB which wasnt an option for my discounted laptop


Is it this one?


The manual seems to mention it's a Ryzen laptop which doesn't seem right but it could still be a similar model with a different CPU.


Yeah


There are a couple different versions of this laptop


I would say the link I sent you is more accurate


It has an i7 processor blahblahblah


And the sheet of paper has a couple of the features on it


Anyways for the manual if you look at page 31 they have the instructions for that


Oh, great


Im a little worried about electrocuting myself or messing up my brand new laptop


But from what you can tell, that SSD should be compatible with my laptop?


And that explains the actual replacing part


But it cant be that simple


All the preloaded software on my old SSD


It needs to be copied onto the new one somehow, no?


The laptop comes with Windows and some stuff, I dont want to lose that, of course


From what it looks like your laptop uses an M.2 SATA SSD so it would be this type


As for the data you would need to transfer that to a backup drive and reinstall Windows using by flashing the image to a USB drive and installing it on your laptop.


Hmm, those are a lot more expensive


Im wondering if its worth all the trouble and risk or if I should just return this and get another laptop with better specs?


SelkieSiren Have you reinstalled Windows much before?


It isn't too hard of a process if your somewhat familar with it


No, Im completely new to everything


Never took a computer apart or put it back together, never dealt with Windows


I mean, I always used the laptop asis


Would those astronauts need 14days mandatory quarantine


Lmao space corona


Have they been secretly testing Covid vaccine for aliens


Still I havent found anyone to comment on this article about the Covid origin


as corona mutates, do u think there is a possibility that it goes to the level of like zombie thing?


Have you guys seen this yet?


Just thought it would spark some conversation


Rad question anyone chilling out in the stem chat that went to NYSF 2020 in Aus


Anyone here doing engineering?


Parts


Josephi why


What's a mechanical degree like?


Is it a good experience and a variety of ppl


I did some aspects that fit into civil and mechanical


Right, yeah there's a variance of people, but there's a lot of work, gotta be competent with computer drawing. The maths you can figure out yourself if you're dead on


Im trying to get into Manchester uni you see so want to be on a course that I feel has wholesome people


Yeah I can do calculus and other stuff


Don't get me wrong, you will meet some lovely people, some of my best friends in uni were from my student accomodation


And CAD


a couple from my course


Cad


Yeah if you have a bit of a background in CAD it'll be a piece of piss


Yesssaaa


Are you going into halls


or your own accomodation


Halls first probably


Halls always mate


best year of my life


Well


For some people


You'll meet some mingers, it's easy to just space them out


I was lucky


Yeah you're lucky


People don't tend to go too mad in their rooms


more in the common areas


unless they're riding


But do you think that mechanical has nice people or is it full of mingers


And chavs


nah no chavs


Chavs as in roadmen


It's antisocial people who come out of their shell and are lovely


or just very intelligent people who present themselves well


then some people who were just good at maths then kinda don't get it


Oh right so is there like indie people on there and stuff cos I think I can fit in well with them


then drop out


like normies


Normies boring


Really depends mate, it's luck of the draw


Yeah different classes


year to year it'll be varied


But also alot of people u meet aren't on course I guess


exactly


so many of your friends won't be on your course


get along with 1 clique in the class and your teachers


and you'll be sweet


Heck yeee


I wanna train myself to be a bit more relaxed before uni


Like around people


Is any1 here a therapist? I'm thinking of becoming a teen therapist when I get older but I'm still doing research on the position


No sorry. Anyone a math major too?


been thinking of building a pc but i feel like i wont know wtf im doing lmao


anyone got any tips?


Anyone doing forensics?


throwzing watch a video on YouTube


throwzing it's not as hard as it looks! Just understand there will always be a point in the process where things just don't work. I use pcpartpicker.com which is very helpful for understanding compatibility.


throwzing Super easy. Just be careful with your CPU and dont bend any pins!


thanks for all the infoguys!


ive been watching some yt vids reading some info and all that


that website is really useful thank you!


throwzing you should post your build once you have the components figured out


throwzing if you need help vetting parts and sorting out if you are making more than you need, lemme know.


speaking of pc builds tho, i just finished getting this part list in order and ordering everything. looking forward to my own portable sff pc


the most difficult part was finding out if the stock amd cooler would fit in the case and luckily it has a few mm of space even with the small form factor


I found this article on neutrinos extremely interesting, though it's a bit of a difficult read.


Beginning to feel like ML is one of the most important things to learn in the computer science field


science is fun


except for when


I pOur THE ACID ON MY SKIN


hurt


Hellooo


What's ML?


my Headphones are weird. They work fine, but if I touch the volume scroll, one side juts dies. And the only way to fix that is to just put the wire at angles and hope it works XD


I'd argue that you don't even need a degree in computer science these days unless you need a path toward getting involved in postdoctoral research.


And throwzing ML is Machine Learning


or AI, as a broader term.


Quifix I think its something with the wiring within the headphones. It might be damaged to a point where it does need those odd angles to function. It happens with a lot of phone chargers Ive noticed, and it is most common when people use the headphones or charging cord a lot. How long have you had your headphones for? Wiring is most likely damaged but it could just be because of how long you had it, not cause you took poor care of it.


Spot on.


TGibsonn Thanks:


What projects are you guys working on if anything?


Thinking about art projects but Ive always wanted to attempt creating a game


Sick


I started work on my first fairly ambitious project. I'm trying to recreate Bitlife as a discord bot


OOO


That sounds awesome!


Thanks. It's a lot of work tho


I've spent the last 2 or so days trying to rewrite the command handler


Once that's done I can start adding features


I am in progress of making a self stabilized rocket, but just can't find time or i am too lazy


fun project tho


What makes it self stabilizing?


I have a new project:


Collect rubber bands over time and start making a rubber band ball. Ive never made one before and they look so awesome .


Like I would just collect the rubber bands over time, not buy a pack at the store and I would take pics of my progress


I know thats a stupid/childish one but its something that I like


with arduino


some servos


and that's basically it


Servos? Zirr


Projects,,


I was really getting into Unity with Machine Learning


but then I was thrown a project from a sidegig that's taking as much away as my fulltime role


procrastination ensues


TheSharkDude What language framework are you using for your bot? :


Do you guys think it would make sense to take a microservice approach to a Discord bot?


these are smol little motor that are for example in RC cars and turn the wheels


I use 2 servos to tilt the x and z axis


and with arduino and program that can read the angle at which the desk is at, it can correct it by tilting the tube containing rocket motor certain way


i am not a software guy, but as long as it makes it easier to work with in the future go for it PyroclasticMayhem


Depends on the requirements.


What language framework are you using for your bot? :

Revealed: Daring NASA Mission To Explore An Ocean Of Lava On Jupiters Volcanic Moon Forbes


I found this really interesting


Interesting


2028 or 2029 seems so long


Hurray for Starlink


No more people saying Sattelite internet sucks


I'm sure if we can transfer segments of 4K video from Mars rovers, that our internet doesn't need to rely on submarine cables.


Just makes sense to use 5G from towers and mesh it from satellite nodes.


captain spaceship I agree


I'm really hoping for NASA to fund a mission to Titan due to the high potential for life


That would be so cool!


Hopefully within my lifetime we'll find some sort of life within the Solar System


When I was younger Ive always wanted to work at NASA. Its still a dream I have but I think Im more into marine life but that may be because I went to an environmental science academy


I'll bet S25 that there's some sort of life, even simple life, on Titan


You can hold me to that


Gladly


But I wouldnt be surprised either tbh


You can bet me S25 and then if we're both right then we just pay each other S25


I cant remember exactly who made the article but I read something about scientists finding a galaxy thats very identical to the Milky Way


Or just call it off so no transaction has to be made?


There's probably a lot of galaxies that are very identical to the Milky Way tbh


True


No, there's no turning back now


We can't call it off


I meant if we both were right how would that work?


Well if we both bet each other S25 that there is life on Titan then we're both betting in favor of life being there, which doesn't make sense as a bet really, but who cares about that if we find life on Titan


If both of us are right somehow we wouldnt have to pay each other S25 cause wed already have it


True that


Or what if instead of paying each other S25 we just buy each other a drink to celebrate


celebrate that there was life on Titan after all


Just remember in 20 years if/when they find life that we owe each other a drink


Yesss


Im still a minor by US law so nothing alcoholic for me


Well, eligible to drink I mean


don't worry in 20 years you'll probably be old enough


Im not that young


unless you're less than a year old right now


which would be impressive if you were tbh


never met someone less than a year old that was interested in space

Does anyone wanna help me figure out a reaction scheme. I already have the resulting compound I just can't figure out how it got there


Unsure if this is right, because to get the coefficients of the xx0, yy0 and zz0 brackets near the top, I equated the partial derivatives point 2x, 2y, 1 to the point 3, 4, 25, to get x, y, z z would obviously be 1


and then x0, y0 and z0 would be 3, 4, 25


Then the normal, I'm unsure but I used Chegg to find similar questions and it feels like I employed the right method to get the normal line in terms of x, y, z at the bottom

Can someone explain manohybrid and dihybrid crosses


Monohybrid crosses is when you are comparing the ratios of of genotypes


genes given to offspring from two parents


So it is when you are looking at the ratios of offspring being Green or yellow


This only works with dominant and recessive genes


Dihybrid crosses are when you are comparing the ratios of 2 different genotypes being given to an offspring


So rather than being just yellow and green, you are looking at them being Round and yelllow, round and green or straight and yellow or straight and green


Does that make sense Ravan


Since usually in biology, 1 gene will have multiple uses/ effects around the body


ah fair


Badeli thanks so much pal


Understood lt completely


I can send my highschool notes on that stuff if you want


If you need to know about dihybrid cross overs I can send you a ppt, but that's more university level stuff Ravan

i mean what was i to expect when going into software?


as of the moment i am learning binary and the different conversions to better understand computer architecture in my required course


i just find it interesting as this concept i grasp much more than lets say highschool maths which i hated. when its a big picture thing and logic with reasonings of how it ties up somehow that makes sense in my mind. yay for learning then

Any input is accepted since im so lost with this


New printer, canon. Their pc is jacked or smth and doesnt take in CDs so i took the associated driver off the website. Installation goes fine till somewhere in i get a windows error code of 0x80004005. Did what windows site said with letting the antivirus be cool with it. Still nada


If i click try again same problem. If i click skip, another instamce occurs. Skip again and the printer setup is forever on a loop of asking to detect the printer. A cycle of turning it off and on again to be detected

CoPpErSaMuEl Hi Hi! Where are you attending school at?


If you dont feel comfortable with answering no worries


Has any of you guise tried to increase their ram before? Skelly's laptop ram is currently around 4gb, which is not very much because whenever Skelly tried to open both photoshop and chrome it lags like crazy. Skelly heard people did this before, but skelly is not very techsavvy so Skelly do not know if this will work or not...


Its harder to upgrade ram in a laptop i think..


MARSSS hiii I go to school at Rutgers Univ in NJ. really trying to find either software eng jobs or work in pharma. DO you know anyone I could connect with?


CoPpErSaMuEl no but I can ask around with some people actually. Ill see what I can do for ya and Ill get back to you:


Thank youu


ill take any job applications too if they provide them


Waku Like it was even possible at the start


S.T.E.M. Discussion


Topic: Do you prefer to build a PC or buy a premade? Why?


premade


for sure


CoPpErSaMuEl Are you willing to move out of state for a job or do you want it to be local?


CoPpErSaMuEl u should make a linked in account boss discord aint the place for jobs


I am willing to move out of state


I have a linked in, I am also applying

thats just wrong


Does anyone know how to code on unity?


PCs aren't the hardest things to build in the world


But you see


I'm poor


It doesn't make sense to build at my budget


It makes sense, because you can save money


At least 4 years ago you could, don't know nowadays


But building is cheaper?


wrong. Building in budget is actually better


Its amazing how cheap pc nowadays can run everything. You see games requirements haven't gone up since 5 years ago. Witcher 3 has similiar fps to modern Tomb Raider game on the same pc Maybe even less.


Kia. once you figure that out hit me up I got jackpot game idea fam. But I've no cells for programming I just model stuff .


Hey hey, can someone with expertise on PC building tell me if this build is cool or need change?


Artahir I just needed help tryna get my codes to work


Im just a little frustrated


MOrdred What's the build for? I7 is quite overpriced compared to Ryzen which has Top cpus since 2019 32GB is overkill unless you're gonna do lots of rendering your pc is a workstation for math. You could save money on few other parts as well but since you're on 2kS mark I don't think saving money is your need


Also for god sake please don't buy windows 10 for full price. Lets not support microsoft. Buy keys off of retailers and other online dealers.


Artahir for playing the latest games at high performance and yes, less money would be good


Nice timing lmao


what?


You where typing when I got here


crystal ball in my hands


My setup is Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 5700


If you got yourself RX 5700XT it has pretty much same performance as 2070 super and much cheaper check that out


also for Ryzen 5 3600 you only need B450 board Ithink which is also cheaper than what you got there


you'll save hundreds of dollars for same performance


But, will I still be able to play latest games at high performance?


check out the benchmarks most modern games can't utilize more than 4 cores of cpu at most 6 and with hypertrading you've got 12 cores for much less


You can get better ryzen ofcourse. but cpu is not the bottleneck in this case


thing is performance's price exponentially rises above certain treshhold


Best gpu on the market is hundreds of dollars more than the one before it at only 510 performance increase.


also 16GB ram is quite enough for everything. Games don't use that much. I usually have 12 peak


Also Gold cerified 600W is enough. Your setup will have peak of 300W I don't go above 240W for example.


also I don't know if you can buy the key on this site this is about 4S I don't know what sites sell them internationally this is local one from my country


Is this better?


Artahir


take 2x8gb 3600 with lower CL


less but faster is better in your case


Artahir what is this


3600 RAM with 18cl should be findable


Ah, I see


you have 3200 and 16CL


If you find 3600 with 18CL it'll be more expensive but will run better


get only 2x8


It should be around the same as 16gb but faster


that gaming keyboard I rather won't comment Im a bit enthusiastic about that


It's decent but overpriced


I'd rather get Anne Pro 2 or Ducky mini if I were you. Same price more quality


MOrdred what about that gpu didn't you find 5700XT?


you need XT version


Ah, I see Radeon RX 5700 XT?


that 2070 super is by few percent better. How much more expensive is it for you?


compared to 5700xt if you comnpare it. In my country there are different prices


This should be enough, it dropped almost S300


come to think of it they should have B550 ready i remembered


I'll check it wait


MOrdred this one should be better


I see

hey everyone


im new to this server


can someone help me in chemistry :?


risi what do you need help with?


i dont know how to write the reaction formulas of some substances like for example if we mix sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide


you take the H off the acid and the OH off the hydroxide to make water then combine the other elements together into a different compound


and depending on the elements in the new compound, it might be a solid or aqueous


the compound that's created is a salt of some kind


nvm, acid base reactions can't make solids, sorry i was thinking of a different kind of reaction


the reaction of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide would be:


H2SO4aq NaOH2aq 2H2Ol NaSO4aq


Repete i thank you so much!

Dw about politics, I'm politically neutral lmao


well actually


in political point of view


asia is the next europe in start of major conflict


def..


that will make us 100 go to another world war and make us hit our next filter as a species


Oof rly? I mean excluding middle east lmao


what the ccp is doing is so familiar with how germany acts in the past


no asia is the next europe trust me koty


I'm observing that place and checking how the china 100 dash policy and how it treats other race below


yea but still


sea


tbh


that will be the first start


of how we'll hit our next barrier to achieve type 1 at most guys


I thought this was supposed to be sciemce talk and not border disputes?


escape..


it is I'm getting there


because humans have this tendency


to do the worst before we go to better


Ooof


Ppl just want more and more and never get satisfied


true


and as the most intelligence species we need to talk about it if we're gonna reach to advance our primal instinct


that's why I'm telling you


if powerful enough, treat minor ones as tools to achieve even more power


Yupp I agree


star trek is the most plausible way to escape this mentality of humans


if either we are put to our place


Actually in most sci fi, including star trek, human society od future isn't very realistic imo


I mean, see how we changed from 1920 to 2020


mmm yeah the unity and humans as the leader of civilization


Yupp and basically that's just extension of XX/XXI culture and mentality


as far as I know we're the greediest and don't care what happen to other species as we plunder our mother earth


Ikr


look at how we're making other species extinct


our greed for resources and many cultural barriers are the one stopping us to more scientifical advancement


I feel like its kind of a known thing by now that people tend not to change their ways unless its by force or for a gain, like for instance somewhere in South America I think it was had a huge water shortage that they were aware was gonna happen years, only when they were weeks before running out of water did the whole city cut their water usage by 3/4ths moving the water outage by several months


We are, like still running on old programme that worked when we were more promitive but with current tech it's just devastating and selfdestructive


that's what I'm saying number nickname guy


it's when we are put in our place


What im trying to get at in my fever state is nobody does anything until near self destruction


almost like grand slapping in the face


yeah the MAD policy speaks that much more clearly


do you know the great filter kotty?


and warp speedequations that one day might propel us to great heights


80085 but look at this in a good way we're in the era where we're at the most peaceful/dire situation


Ik the greater filter and that's kinda scary


yes


that's what our current problem stems


Btw actually thatst weird that we're not detecting any signs of alien life


that's what we'll reach when we reach lowest type 1


mmm we're in early stage


we're not even sure


Did you read the book The threebody problem?


if there's another great intelligence lurking inside our planet


mmm not really actually


I'm reading generalized books


that have the connection to school at best and I hate books because of my 710 hours schedule for school stuff given by my own mother


It is actually interesting concept of why there are no other civs detectable to us


kotty


if some ants


that do silly thing


try to communicate with you by bitting you


Ik what u mean


Just listen a bit


that's what we're doing


In this book there is a concept of the dark forest


it's the radio stuff we're giving we don't even know if that's how above civi will do


ohh sure sorry


Tell me, what would be a same basic need of EVERY civ and EVERY species?


Survival


yes


When you contact other species you don't know what they want


Only that they want to survive and thag you want it


Dark forest means everyone are hiding bc are afraid of being exposed and vulnerable to any attack


And in galaxy if any civ will try to communicate and turn attention of other species it is immidieatly destroyed with it's whole solar system as prevention


That's kinda creepy


Btw I hate sci fi concept of aliens, where they are just weird humans/animals, I personally like more hard sci fi where aliens are actually ALIEN


Like in Blindsight, mindbreaking book btw


kotty


I have bad memories with books I don't love it but I'm always with it so I can't promise to read that


but


personally


I believe in that but here comes us


giving every way


to contact


even giving short waves sound so that we can connect


In this book our efforts were actually not enough to expose us


do you know the giving radio waves and disc outside?


mmm yes ofc


because we're type 0.7 at best


But eventually humanity got destroyed lmao


but rn we're moving to type 1 slowly but surely


mmm koty we don't need to be destroyed by outside


we're destroying our species already


do you know that we're killing and making technology that will kill us


nano tech and ai are the two ways we can


That too


even the melting of ice


You know what


in south and north pole


The biggest problem is our population


do you that a virus can be unleash that will wipe us all out


wait a min


do you know about the carbon/water base species and silicon species?


Look in the history, most of reneisance of culture and tech were after humans were dying in great numbers


mmm yeah ofc we advance our technology by means of war


we can't even invent our internet if we didn't start that whole war fiasco


koty do you know the 2 major type of life form?


mmm you there?


Yes yes, I'm just at work so I diseappear from time to time sry


Zeta Canis Majoris


Tell me


so


our species use oxygen and gives carbon and we evolve first with the help of water
