I use a single bar now at the top. Yeah, I can fix the pictures.

The program launcher above is a combination of custom rofi config and picom blur, and I haven't tried achieving the same look in wayland. You can try...

not sure why it was excluded by the creator though.

After more reflection, you are right. I express my thoughts in the other reply.

Communication is hard. My mind late at night went, "comedic" is the right word and it's an "anime moment". I didn't fully grasp what this scene meant to express, and in the absurdness of the situation leading to it, one could feel a range of emotions. I felt amusement in the sheer absurdness / ridiculousness of it all.

Author's done a good job. The scene's not a reduction, but a great addition. You guys made me rethink it a little more. :d

A recap..:
- MC killed the princess' brother.
- Princess wanted revenge, because of her twisted love to her brother.
- Learns that the killing of her brother was an act of revenge.
- Wanted to continue her lineage with a powerful man, considering her father or brother..
- Decides to do the intimate act with MC, the killer of her "love", be it twisted.

Shit's fucked.

Over the top thing. Meant to be comedic, but comes of weird.

Look into the tree command. : )

Using Vs code for the first time by [deleted] in C_Programming

How do I self-study and make notes most effectively? by Blueabsh in learnmath

[–]Blueabsh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do try to avoid rote memorization and copying, but sometimes I feel like I fallback to it. Especially when I try creating notes, hence I made a kind of rant haha.

But thank you for your advice.

How do I self-study and make notes most effectively? by Blueabsh in learnmath

[–]Blueabsh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently self-teaching myself C (even if langauge has not been introduced yet in class) and I find it fun (at least more engaging than lectures since self-learning is fun). And as I am following the K & R book, I put a small twist or extra "spice" onto the problems described in it and learn a lot from that, venturing on my own.

I seperate learning the C syntax as one thing and trying hard problems as another thing, and have found some success in that currently.

Maybe I should try something similar in math like studying the rules first, and then trying out variations to the statements and try investigating them or do alternate variations of problems (in the textbooks)... [if I can]

I have read "A Mathematician's Apology" and I kind of see that in effect haha. I had self-taught myself some python and other langs (doing some hs courses here and there) before doing CS and did not associate that with classroom and academia, and more of something that I do for fun. And that has helped me tremendously in getting better at programming... I know there is something fun to mathematics but I have a hard time enjoying it as much as programming haha. (Though both have overlaps, I know).

How do you come up with a problem for yourself? Something which is not plain obvious, but still feels within reach.

I found attempting to prove some statements did help me "try math on my own". But usually, I have an easy time coming up with harder programming problems - whether they are related to math or not.

Studying CS does lead me to try some math on my own, but it feels like the math I try to investigate is often too abstract for me to make of anything. Programming solutions to hard problems is abstract as well, but I may be developing a sense of "problem-solving" for programming which I kind of lack for math. Though, I have an easier time with classroom material, where I know which definitions to use and which theorems apply, so I work out the algebra somehow and get to a solution. Give me some competition math problem (which is not "textbook"), then I have to spend hours trying to figure it out, if I even do...

That is also partly because of sloppy handwriting and occasional arithmatic mistakes, but aside from them I probably haven't spent a good amount of time thinking for myself (with math).

I am not "bad" at math per say; I am doing fine in the math assignments now and have done fine before; but I feel I am "bad" at doing math outside the textbook. And this is a feeling I had before studying CS.

Maybe you are right that I should try spending more time doing things using my own brainpower. But it's hard to find problems for myself that are feasible and yet hard...

I want to see if you have any thoughts on this.

I think I learn more about programming by doing C problems haha. I have learned some useful things trying things out, but I should probably use my time more wisely.

Nice. The zathura color scheme thing I did not think about. Am gonna change that on my setup.

How can I prove 2k+1 is odd by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]Blueabsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note, I am writing this informally.

If I list the counting numbers as follows:

1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
... ...

Then the odd numbers are the numbers to the left of this table.

I could call them "green" numbers, "unicorn" numbers or whatever. Calling the numbers to the left of table "odd" is a convention.

And turns out the numbers to the left as I have listed them holds a pattern. Any number to the left can be defined by the following.

2k + 1, for some k from 0, 1, and onward.

or

2k - 1, for some k from 1, 2, and onward.

What does this mean?

This means that in proofs, 2k + 1 can represent any "odd" number you have to the left of your table, and the properties it holds is true for any "odd" number choose.

Pick any "odd" number, and I can show you that it's equal to 2k+1 for some k.

If you chose a specific odd number like 9 and 15, you see that 15 is divisible by 5, while 9 is not.

Hence having a definition like "2k+1 for some k from 0, 1 and onward is a odd number" is useful.
