#LaTex giving me a lot of shit today... Can't even render my Python code using minted.

@freemo educational fuckery is often preferred.

@namark well said

Family and Friends: **complain about data privacy regarding whatsapp**
Me: sets up xmpp for family & friends

**nobody uses it**

People basically complained that there isn't a single "official app" and they think the available clients look like scams or dodgy apps that a teenager made. And they think I'm prompting these "amateur" apps filled with viruses. Lol.

It makes me sad that this is how people view tech. The aesthetics of the UI determines 99% of the judgment people give to it.

@astrotoot@mastodon.online I had to switch to the Quanta's article as this one was written badly imo. Still, there were many things I didn't understand such as how they read the electrons spin accurately and fast enough but then again I'm not an experimental physicist nor quantum one. Also, the main issue with the articles, at least for a passive reader, is that they didn't explain how exactly this is happening without using energy. In my naive brain, the shining of the laser could be transmitting energy to the system via an unknown mechanism so to me, the more interesting physics question is: how did they figure out that there was no energy transferred???

@freemo are you in western Europe?

@freemo yes, I can see that now.

@freemo fair enough. I showed it to some else and she first said green and after looking at it more said blue so idk anymore

@freemo to me what's on the page looks very much green. I.e very different from the color below.

@freemo just to make sure we're talking about the same thing. Are you telling me this is actually cyan?

@freemo this is obviously subjective but I really don't like seeing so colors that don't go well together being so close on the ui elements. For example, green, yellow, white and black in "[CleverThis]' and then bluish/red curves right below it. Also, at the bottom of the page the red and green don't go well together. Again, this is just my personal opinion.

It really bothers me when I'm in a meeting that was booked for 90min and within 50 minutes of the meeting after we accomplished our goal for the meeting there's that one guy who will say "oh we still have 40 minutes" and proceed to either keep bringing earlier points or starts asking arbitrary questions just to keep wasting more time.

I consider myself to be garbage at math. Yet, I work with math on a daily basis for the last 3+ years and literally make my living by making mathy software. Is this perception of myself and math due to having witnessed the greatness of some of my friends and family who won high awards at national and international mathematics Olympiads? Sure, they're incredible at math, but they are probably in the top 0.00001% percentile. And, even if I'm top 0.01% percentile I'm still very far from reaching the same heights as them and they're the ones I compare myself to. Thus, I end up thinking I'm garbage when perhaps I'm still really good when compared to average person it's just that the people around me are astronomically good at math. Like, ffs one of them won university physics competition at 14 yrs old!! I need to remind myself normal people are not like that.

Asumí que seria mejor escribir ese toot en ingles ya que creo que es considerado el idioma estándar en el mundo cibernético... DIN embargo pensado lo bien creo que debió haber sido en #castellano

Looking for #stem #latinamerican friends to talk to (video call?) And get to know. Preferably in the #UK or western Europe but anywhere is fine as we can communicate online. Nothing specific just want to make friends with similar background.

About me: Venezuelan scientist/engineer and masters student living in UK.

@zstark this tells me you'll either be a super hero or villain.

@lucifargundam hmmm I don't think so. An RTOS is very very different from something like linux or even MacOS or Windows. And just to clarify, PineTime does *not* run Linux or any Linux based OS as it stands. Additionally, the chip for the watch is an nRF52832 which is Arm Cortex-M based. This would make the theoretical "porting" very difficult and even if you were able to I don't see how that would be beneficial as the battery would die incredibly fast due to not having the sleep and realtime functionality of an RTOS given the low capacity battery it has.

Having said all of that, I'll let @lupyuen comment as he is most certainly the expert on this.
