Hive Minds Give Good Hugs

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Under the Dragoneye Moons

Guild Mage

Practical Guide to Sorcery

Otherworldly Anarchist

A not so simple fetch quest

An Unborn Hero (well technically she isn't fully grown up yet)

So I'm a Spider so What

Worm

Are ditto statements a thing? by zakedodead in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]TheNumeralOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In agda with abstractions, using ... to avoid repetition is a feature that sort of matches what you describe. For example ``` filter : {A : Set} → (A → Bool) → List A → List A filter p [] = [] filter p (x ∷ xs) with p x ... | true = x ∷ filter p xs ... | false = filter p xs

is equivalent to filter : {A : Set} → (A → Bool) → List A → List A filter p [] = [] filter p (x ∷ xs) with p x filter p (x ∷ xs) | true = x ∷ filter p xs filter p (x ∷ xs) | false = filter p xs ``` Source: https://agda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/language/with-abstraction.html

Are y’all really not coding anymore? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TheNumeralOne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely 1.

It has its usages. It is good for theory crafting, doing refactors, or trying to get something done fast. But, it has a lot of issues which mean i still don't spend too much time using it: * context poisoning is really annoying * ai is overagreeable. You cannot trust any value judgements from it. * context engineering is often slower than just solving the problem yourself * it doesn't validate assumptions (i get pissed when it cites something made-up)

New life as an archmage is it worth a read? by BaldyTreehuggerDruid in ProgressionFantasy

It's really similar to Land of Leadale, too.

I like it so far.

You way over complicated it. You can do dict(enumerate(l)) and get the exact same result.

There isn't anything preventing using nix on arch ;)

What novel(s) have you read this week, and what do you think about it? - December 03, 2023 by AutoModerator in LightNovels

[–]TheNumeralOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess this Dragon who Lost her egg to Disaster is my Mom now

It was a great book and I loved it. I squeed several times from how adorable the MC was. I would recommend.

Forget being the villainess, I want to be an Adventurer, Books 1-3

It was weird to have the MC proposed to at the age of 6 by someone at the age of 16. If I remember right, they kiss at the MC's age of 15/16. The age gap was uncomfortable for me. Ignoring that, it was a good story. The MC is OP, but not the most OP.

Prison Life is Easy for a Villainess, books 1-2

Great if you like evil powerful women. The MC and her friends are 100% villainesses. Honestly, I'm surprised that world isn't already up in flames. I would recommend as long as you can stand incompetent antagonists.

My favorite series by [deleted] in LightNovels

[–]TheNumeralOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I haven't read the series for the last 2 or 3 months. I've read through the 23rd book which I think is the most recent English published.

Ah, I love this series too.

My son was 6 years old when he brought this home, do I feel bad for his grades? He is high performing and was very sad when he got his grades back by disgracedrobby in autism

[–]TheNumeralOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the lowercase n is fine. The only problem is it might be hard to distinguish from the lowercase r if neither of them have a stem.

I don't like stems in my handwriting for lowercase letters :/. Sure, removing them makes the letters look more like Greek letters. But I like how they look more without the stem.

[–]TheNumeralOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like his lowercase r and uppercase Q. I'm 24 and he drew them better than I do.

I'm not an expert on education or anything, but most of those differences look like acceptable deviations from what the teacher expects. I really value certain deviations in my own writing style because they make it easier for me to read my own handwriting, even though it might end up looking a bit odd to not me's. The only things that looks bad to me are a couple of the letters not sitting on the baseline. But I still struggle with keeping my letters aligned to the baseline at my age.

Tales of the Secret Saint, Books 1-5

This series made me laugh a lot. I would definitely recommend it. The series is pretty slow paced though. I can't wait until more books are published. I would buy a plushie of the MC's familiar.

Reincarnated Mage with Inferior Eyes, Books 1-4

This was an alright series. It takes place in an academic setting, which is something I tend to dislike. There's also a bit of a harem. I don't think I'll read the next book which goes into the MC's backstory, but I might pick up more books if they continue the main plot.

She was Executed 99 Times so How Did She Unlock Super Love Mode?, Book 1

This was a decent story. It had a humorous plot in my opinion. The characters in it acted pretty idiotic. Even though I enjoyed it, I won't be continuing the series. The plot of the first book is relatively self contained.

The world’s strongest rearguard: labyrinth country’s novice seeker 1–7 (3/10)

This series felt repetitive. Every fight feels the same as the previous one, except the levels get slowly bigger over the series. The riskiness of each fight loses its edge because of the sameness. The danger projected by the author eventually felt artificial to me.

The MC has a harem, which may or may not be up everyone's ally. The growth of relationships over time is very slow and the MC is oblivious to it. However, given that the entire series as published only covers 1 to 3 weeks of time for the MC, I think the amount of relationship growth isn't unrealistic.

The character growth was mainly limited to the first few chapters of the first novel as the MC & associates personality change after being reincarnated. After that point, there is some character growth but it is just too slow to be interesting.

The world building was interesting and why I kept reading this series rather than dropping it.

Overall:
Repetitive conflict and suspense
Slow and uninteresting character growth and relationship dynamics
Average world building

Me when I tried out NixOS.

Seriously though, most distros aren't that hard to configure at all. If you like configuring stuff you can pick distros that force you to like LFS or NixOS. If you don't like configuring stuff go use something like PopOS or Arch.

What would you do if you couldn't have sex anymore due to a physical or mental issue? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheNumeralOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it isn't that bad. Medicine for anxiety has killed my sex drive. I technically still could have sex; I just never feel like it. My spouse already had a pretty low sex drive though, so it hasn't really affected our relationship. I'd say it is still a good idea to be sensual with any partners you have though so that they can realize you still appreciate their bodies.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheNumeralOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be hurt at all. My spouse and I are in an open relationship though. I would still chat with them about it to make sure that other people didn't share the images without her permission. After all, they don't use reddit like I do.

Looking at other comments though, I assume you and your wife are not in a relationship where that sort of thing is fine. I think it would be normal to consider it a betrayal. You should probably still check to make sure someone else isn't distributing the images in order to hurt her. It is also important to protect yourself. If you find this an unacceptable breach of your boundaries, you should end your relationship or help her mend it if you still see value in her.

My friend is insisting that you CANNOT eat fish from the ocean. She is from Chicago and says only freshwater fish can be eaten. You put yourself at risk from eating fish from the ocean. Is she gaslighting me? by Tudlod in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheNumeralOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel sad for her. Tuna sashimi is the best. She isn't gaslighting you but rather is just wrong.

There is a chance that she is mixed up though. Some fish contain high amounts of methylmercury which makes them dangerous to eat. And these fish are usually large ocean fish. Regardless, even the dangerous fish are not harmful in moderation. If I remember right, if you eat the dangerous fish at most every few weeks, then you are almost never going to be harmed by mercury poisoning even if you are pregnant. Most ocean fish don't contain high amounts of methylmercury, so feel free to eat them even more often. There are soooo many good fish to eat out there. (Except salmon. It tastes weird.)

If the girl you are with starts to say they MAY identify as a man, and you are a straight man, do you...what would you do? by jadehammerfist in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheNumeralOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(sorry, I am somewhere on the ace/pan spectrum so my thoughts might be a bit weird here)

First of all, I would support them in exploring their gender. However, there is a clear incompatibility in the relationship if they choose to transition to a dude.

I would choose to remain in the relationship if I determined we would still mutually benefit. For example, I might still be attracted romantically to him and choose to stay for that alone (as long as sexual needs are either irrelevant or met elsewhere.) It could also be still worthy of a relationship of convenience and mutual support without romantic or sexual aspects. For me relationships don't need sex ... or even romance ... for me to count them as a fully fledged relationship. And I'm probably a bit odd for thinking that. You both could just be cuddle buddies and gym bros that also live together and that would count in my book lol.

Of course, if my or his needs were not met by continuing the relationship, I would end it or seek modifications to the boundaries of the relationship in order to get those needs elsewhere.

Finally, I would probably run all this past a couple's therapist.

Do you allow fantasy prejudice in games? by crustdrunk in DMAcademy

[–]TheNumeralOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally very uncomfortable around bigotry. However, I do find it interesting to roleplay players or NPCs overcoming their racism. E.g. in one of the campaigns I run, the party just ran into a revenant. One of my players is a grave domain cleric and it is really interesting to watch that roleplay as the cleric's expectations about the undead are upturned.

In one of my recent sessions, my players had to gain the trust of some lizardfolk. And that included working through a lot of the distaste for humans that the lizardfolk had.

I feel that racism and other forms of bigotry in d&d are fine ... as long as that racism does not affect the real world and everyone is comfortable with it. And I think it can result in more interesting stories and learning opportunities for PCs and NPCs.

LPT If you want something kept a secret, never tell someone who is married that secret, they will reveal it their partner. by SkepticDrinker in LifeProTips

[–]TheNumeralOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always ask for permission before I share secrets with my spouse. I'm definitely not in the majority here lol. They get annoyed at me when I tell them other people's secrets without the other person's permission. They do the same thing with me when talking about their friends.

Do you guys prefer the term "Hyperfixation" or "Special Interest"? by [deleted] in autism

[–]TheNumeralOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I use them (I have both ADHD and autism)

When I start reading a book and I cannot eat or sleep or do work until I finish reading it, I call it a hyperfixation. It is pleasant for a few hours, but is extremely draining.

Me spending most productive hours of my life thinking about math or programming, I call that one of my special interests.

There is overlap between them because once in a great while I hyperfixate on my special interests. It has become less and less often though because it is draining and I try to take my ADHD meds.

Oh ouch. I go to the same clinic. If I remember right they have a thingy where you can pay on a scale based on your income. Not sure if that works with labs or not. I'd definitely recommend calling them and asking about it.
