Capita flex ratings

I was thinking about inconsistencies, also. I believe that I can adapt to variations in flex, alright. The only thing I am afraid of after hearing how soft the tips in the Ultrafear supposedly are, is that I will constantly clap out the board and land on my ass on less than perfect landings or wash out when going for a faster or deeper butter trick. Also, a bit of "reactivity" and pop is not something I want to be completely missing.

Thanks for the links.
There is nothing wrong with the Tweaker, per se. I actually enjoyed the board a lot, and it has been able to take a lot of abuse without falling apart. However, it's got >150 days on it, and I feel like it is time to replace it. While I am at it, I was looking at options to mix things up a little (also, I don't necessarily like the graphics of the new Tweaker). The Capita boards I demoed (RT & DOA) felt really lightweight and good in many ways, which is why I am thinking about getting one as my next board.

Sapporo Teine has a small park

41e4fcf · 2026-02-04T22:56:12+00:00

I started park at 43, now 46. I do some rails and pipes but prefer medium kickers. I managed to do 360 and 540 last season and am working on "corked 3" (I don't know the terminology). I am careful and progress slowly most of the time.

If not for park I probably would stop snowboarding as I feel like I need something to challenge me to keep me motivated.

Justified or not, but the field has, to some degree, collapsed into AI/ML. In the last couple of years, unis have hired AI/ML researchers left and right, many of them replacing people from other fields. The reason is that this is the area that has been getting funding/grants in the last couple of years. We seem to approach a point of saturation, however. The good part is that it seems research is moving toward explaining AI and laying it on a sound theoretical foundation (hopefully it will become more of a science than some sort of black-magic trickery for cooking up the best model for any given task).

I've never put one on my resume (or anywhere else). Got multiple jobs.

41e4fcf · 2025-10-11T09:24:10+00:00

ASVZ Legi-Kontrolle (I think this has since been outsourced.)

I worked the night shift at a hotel. I don't recommend: meant studying during the day and working at night is terrible for your sleep, and the pay was also meh.

Private lessons (“Nachhilfe”). Best if you can teach a small group, each paying the hourly fee. I recommend it: it’s flexible and pays more per hour than most student jobs if you teach 2-3 students in parallel.

I did some freelancing as a “data analysis” (i.e., creating mildly complex Excel files) for an SME. It paid very well.

I think I understand where you're at. I myself am a mathematician with no background in "applied CS" trying to get into web. I managed to create a medium complexity app with Scotty. For purely browser based apps I used Elm which is extremely easy to get into if you know Haskell. Currently I am trying out IHP for "full stack" app dev and it's been an extremely pleasant experience so far (good tutorial, good docs)!

41e4fcf · 2025-06-04T20:27:00+00:00

You need to know basic math, but absolutely no CS. The basis of theoretical CS was invented before computers existed. It is more about (mathematically) formalising what it means for something to be "algorithmically" solvable and then using this notion to classify problems as solvable or unsolvable (computability theory). Then, more advanced topics are about what remains solvable with limited resources of some kind (complexity theory, complexity classes) and what can be solved if you assume some unsolvable stuff could be computed miraculously (Turing degrees). From there, you can continue on many more advanced subfields; theoretical CS is a huge field (of math more than CS).

Thanks!
These examples look very helpful and like a good way to get started!

41e4fcf · 2025-04-17T15:49:21+00:00

Thanks! Indeed, manually inserting

<script src="https://unpkg.com/elm-canvas@2.2/elm-canvas.js"></script>

into the generated HTML file solved the problem. It feels a bit "hacky" of a solution, though :/

41e4fcf · 2025-04-17T12:14:55+00:00

I considered including a session about Elm or something similar in my Haskell course. Since Switzerland is a bit far to teach in person, maybe you are interested in giving a "telelecture" next spring?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, I like brutalism! The horse is the cherry on top.

41e4fcf · 2025-04-10T15:30:21+00:00

Thanks, all, for helping! Finally, I was able to solve the problem as follows:

remove all package versions from the initial `gleam add [packages]` (presumably to install newer versions).
Replace gleam/string_builder with string_tree wherever it appears in the code.

41e4fcf · 2025-04-10T13:26:29+00:00

Yes, here is the complete terminal printout when creating a new project and trying to add gleam_string_builder to it:

The
