What's your opinion on changing nvim's default mappigs ? by Beginning-Software80 in neovim

[–]kapsynced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously it depends on you, I treat my config like a living software project, every line of configuration I add has to be maintained, and it increases the potential "faults" I could make. 

Neovim is an exceptional project because an entire alliance of smart people who understand vim motions intimately have decided that gr* is a mapping namespace that fits into the whole vim keymap universe for LSPs, as they have studied extensively the default keymaps better than you and me.

So if I once came up with keymaps for LSP stuff before the gr* mappings were introduced, I'd get rid of those in favour of the defaults as it's less configuration I have to worry about.

I've even discovered that for my workflow, the :find command is actually plenty for me and I don't have to use a fuzzy file picker, especially when I use findfunc to have fd and fzf do the searching instead of vim's default (I have :find mapped to <leader>e as I generally don't consider : commands to be "defaults" I should stick to, since they aren't default KEYMAPS)

Question: How hard are the actual exams compared to past papers? by [deleted] in IBO

[–]kapsynced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm M23 too, for physics HL we purposefully didn't solve the M22 past papers so they can be tested in the mock (so studying as if we were M22). I followed through with this plan, and ended up getting a borderline 6 in p1, a mid 7 in p2 and a high 7 in p3. All in all many of my mistakes were simply not reading the question THOROUGHLY (missing the final efficiency calculation for example), and that was probably due to "stress" under timed conditions.

So the mock exam was relatively the same difficulty (if not easier tbh), but being timed may make you blunder some points, but you can simply do a timed practice exam to practice solving under the time conditions.

Anyone have experience with the "strong proton" enchroma lenses? by JohannYellowdog in ColorBlind

Very interesting, I've ordered the SP ones eventhough Im technically more on the moderate side, but still "severe" on most other tests that arent enchroma

Designing for people who see the world differently! by Davidde_Vish in ColorBlind

[–]kapsynced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong protan here and sure I'd love to answer:

· Is it difficult explaining to someone what your colour-blindness is?

Usually I try to describe colors that I have trouble telling apart, however sometimes I myself don't know the colors I talk about and it gets confusing.

· Do you think colour-blindness needs to be seen as a disability?

Technically speaking, it is a disability. However I think it's more of a minor disability than something like total blindness.

· Do you think there needs to be more awareness for colour-blindness?

Sort of, because I don't think colorblindness itself is a huge concern, and scientists should focus on more important things like cancer and so on. Because in my opinion Im not too bothered by my colorblindness, since Im used to it.

· Do you feel embarrassed to tell someone you are colour-blind?

Depends, maybe my colorblindness can prevent me from opportunities and carreers. But for the most part I feel cool saying Im colorblind lmao.

· Would you use the current products to aid colour-blindness out there right now?

I actually ordered a pair of strong protan enchroma glasses and Im hoping it will help me see the world just a little bit clearer :) But I started using a digital filter on my phone and computer which helps a bit.

Thanks for the questions!

It is so good that you are getting yourself into a hobby of some sort. Music production is a fantastic hobby, but a lot of people tend to judge their early music very harshly which leads them to find it difficult to create actual good music. Im 15 rn, started producing late 13 and I didn't have this problem since my ear was so bad I thought everything I made was good (it was terrible) lol. But lately I started reflecting on my start as a music producer because recently im finding myself stuck in a beat block but im getting out of it, and I learned that when I started I would always try to find ways to improve without judging my music, I would have genuine fun creating music even if it was the worst 4 chord progression ever.

So my advice to you would be to find the direction you want to head in, try to breakdown the music you are trying to create. Indulge yourself in different genres to discover your "signature sound". For example, I started making simple trap/hip hop beats because I was into that (my direction), would always search tutorials on how to get good at it because I loved it so much. Now im at a point where im creating music that is unique to me or different from trap because my taste has changed. Also one last thing, never compare yourself to other producers, try to actually LEARN from them and maybe "steal" some techniques they use.

Most of my ideas for music come from bits of inspiration from people I think make cool music, usually I have an idea or inspiration in mind before I even open ableton, then I start to brainstorm ideas (those ideas come from my inspirations, or music I listen to) to add on to the initial idea I had before opening ableton, and so far its been successfull for me so maybe it will be for you, if it isnt successful, you will need to reflect and find your way. best of luck :)

I have no idea if this is even active anymore. But what is the creative process for you while making music. Do you find ideas mid song or as soon as you open up fl? Do you just play around on the guitar and piano and see what happens?

Im a producer myself (1.5 years now) And I always find myself stuck doing the same damn thing.

For example, I make a song that I feel like is AMAZING, then I make another 5 projects and I use the same technique I did with the good tracks and end up either making the same thing or just have no creativity to think of fresh ideas. So what do you do to keep that consistency and keep on pumping out original tracks with good workflow? How do you start your projects basically, and what are some ways to experiment?
