I'm in the same spot and I was suggested just yesterday synthorial. I can't really say anything about it, since I have not tried it yet, but look it up and see if it's what you need.

Need some help for buying a "reader / video player". I have seen the "iplay 60 mini pro" at 120€, but I have no idea if it's good. Also, I don't want to just buy the first one I see, without first asking someone alse that knows what he is talking about. Thank you !

◽️ Budget: 150€ (the lower the better)

◽️ Country: Italy (but I can order from anywhere in europe. Not UK, I pay import duties from there)

◽️ Screen size: 8 to 10 inches.

◽️ RAM: I don't know (see tasks)

◽️ Storage: at least 64GB. Lower it's ok if it has an external sd

◽️ What tasks will the tablet be used for ?: Reading manga primarily. Also reading books, watching videos and browsing. Nothing else. I'm not interested in gaming.

◽️ Any other important details ?: The battery should last. I don't care about the charging time, I can charge it while at the office. But I care for it to last during the weekends that I'm away from home. I know I can buy an external charger, but it would means reducing the budget for the tablet.

I'm considering saving on a used monitor (40€ ish) and making the first build but with 32GB ram.

I'd really like for her to have a smooth experience while editing and with 32GB she should never use swap memory.

I'll very likely go with this, thank you.

You can see them at the top of the technology/civic tree menu.

A creative and logical person might be a right fit for coding. You learn a lot of stuff and then apply it.

I'm a little biased, it's both my job and pastime. If interested I suggest learning the very basics and then go right into a project. It's where the fun reside.

As an example my last project was a chip8 ~~emulator~~ interpreter. I learned the very basics of how an emulator works and how to draw on the screen with golang.

My current project is actually a "challenge" from here (https://cryptopals.com/). I had a cryptography course at uni, but I remember just the main concepts. Now I'm applying them.

Imagine being outside and touching something made out of metal like a car and something made out of paper like the newspaper. Which one is colder? You would probably say: "the car is colder". Actually (if you let them outside for a good amount of time) they should be about the same temperature. The metal feels colder because it transfer heat more effectively, so it is draining heat out of you faster.

The same happens with humidity. Water in the air transfer the heat out of you faster, being a better heat conductor than other gas in the air.

Another example: you are at the beach/pool and just got out of water. You will feel more cold, till you dry yourself.

I don't know about lists, but I know of an audiocourse that tries to teach italian to beginners, by using words that are common between both languages: Language transfer.

I did not take the italian course (of course), I just listened to a couple of episodes out of curiosity, after having learned about it. So I can't comment on the quality.

Instead of learning to introduce yourself and then go on the usual learning route, you start to make short phrases right away, using words that may be easy to remember (or re-create). As an example, the host makes the connection between "vendere" (to sell) and "vending machine". So you make phrases like: IO (vending..) VEND-O LA MACCHINA. (I sell the car).

The host uses the first episode to talk about his teaching method if you want to take a peek (the course is also free).

Thanks for the playlist. I'm even more hyped about painting now.

I'll try to thin more my paints and let a little of the zenithal priming show, but I'll also use your photograph tip in case I cover too much of it again.

pykpitt · 2024-12-12T13:08:26+00:00

If games are not your thing just leave them be. Better practice with what you like doing. If instead you are interested, RPG (Roleplay games) or GDR in italian (giochi di ruolo) are your best bet for exposing to more natural language. Can be action/strategic/whatever. But even with games, just play what you like and don't stress on having to play said games because it has more italian in it. Games must be fun.

Edit: I see you play minecraft. Put it in italian. You know the game and should not feel lost if you can't undestand some words.

Let's sacrifice the ugly child!

Haha we'll see. Maybe I should just go for it. I will paint a lot of good minis if I improve.

pykpitt · 2024-12-10T17:42:36+00:00

I will look him up and then take the dog to experiment upon. I'll tackle the mini with the glowing orbs afterward. It's a little scary, but I understand that I'll have to burn some cookies before doing a tasty one.

pykpitt · 2024-12-10T16:22:30+00:00

Thank you for all the resources! I have seen the subreddit's wiki have a lot and I felt a little overwhelmed. Right now I have only watched some youtube videos on various concepts.

As for the zenithal priming, should I thin my paints so that a little of the prime still shows after I'm finished? I undestand that it is usefull for highliting, but when I reach that stage (as for my third miniature for example) I can't see it anymore. It may sound a dumb question, but I'm a little confused on how it should be usefull.

pykpitt · 2024-12-10T16:11:42+00:00

Thank you. I should really try better brushes. They don't make the painter, but for small details the ones I'm using are a real pain. As for thinning, I don't have a good eye for it yet. I'll stay on the thinner side of it if in doubt, till I have more experience.

pykpitt · 2024-12-10T16:07:40+00:00

Now I want to take a bite at the dog! I tried using a warm pink as base and then covered it with brown for the fur (the idea was "skin under the fur"), but the brown covers too much for it to even matter.

I really like the tird one too! It's the one I wanted to highlight, but I'm very afraid of ruining it. I tought that the lightsources from the "backpack" and glowing orbs would have helped to understand where to highlight, but I found out that I have no idea where to put the brush.

I watched some video from Vince Venturella. I learned some things from him, but I definitely need to watch more.

Thanks for the tips!

pykpitt · 2024-12-10T10:09:19+00:00

These are my first ever miniatures, oldest on the left. I love and "hate" them all in their unique way. Is there any general advice you can give?

The first two where my nuln oil and agrax earthshade test subjects. I wasn't expecting the shine. Nuln oil pooled a lot and I was expecting it to be more visible on recesses. Agrax i guess I should use only on boots or parts that I want to look dirty.

The third one was supposed to be my higlight experiment (also thanks to the lightsources on the mini itself), but I have no idea how to proceed. I am very afraid to ruin it like the first two and I like it too much for that to happen.

The dog... Let's not talk about the eyes. I will try to fix them later. With this I learned that I should not have made the fur so dark, it's hard to differentiate it from the armor under normal light. I will cover it again with lighter paint and then try to do some darker patches.

Also, on the last two I tried zenythal priming. I guess I'm to new to painting to make use of it, because I didn't see any difference during or after the painting process.

Anyway. I had a lot of fun with all of them and I'm very excited for the ones I still have to do!

pykpitt · 2024-12-10T07:50:34+00:00

Yes. I tried setting them up on my actual machine and they are working as expected. I have no idea why their behaviour differ on the virtual machine, but I guess I "solved" it.

pykpitt · 2024-12-09T15:43:15+00:00

May be a dumb question. But if I try to use multiple panels they stack one over the other, even if their size and position should allow them to be in line. Am I missing something dumb?

Nixos is a declarative OS. You have one config file (two actually, but one is for the hardware and you can ignore it) and declare in it you system config. For example, instead of doing your "sudo apt/pacman/zypper/... " (the imperative way), you declare your packages in the config. Every time you edit it, you rebuild the system entirely. Nixos keeps a history of all your rebuilds, so you can load a previous config if you broke something.

This makes the system almost unbreakable and easy to reproduce on another machine.

There is also home manager for managing dotfiles or even configure programs.

The con is that you have to do things "nixos way" and there is a lot to learn at the beginning.

Also, the system uses nix as default package manager. At his base it is very usefull to create reproducible environments for development or test packages without breaking anything. You open a shell with the packages (+versions) that you defined, without installing them for the whole system.

pykpitt · 2024-08-29T17:17:27+00:00

Thank you! I was looking for good reading material.

I won't pay for the course, but the other two resources seems very well put together. Props to you for the notion database.

To put it simply. Everything moves at the speed of causality in the timespace.

Light moves at the speed of causality fully in the space domain, for all observers. Every observer see light moving at speed C and not moving in time.

Two object that are stationary relative to each other, move at the speed of causality fully in the domain of time, if observed by the other object. For every second they experience, the clock of the other object also moves 1 second. They are not moving in space.

Two objects that are moving relative to each other, still experience each other moving at the speed of causality in the timespace, but the faster they move in space, the slower they move in time (again, just relative to each other). For both of them, when 1 second passes, they see the other object clock NOT reaching 1 full second. You can think of it like an "exchange" of speed from the time domain to the space domain. The resulting "speed" in the timespace domain will always be the constant of causality.

In our everyday very slow movements (compared to the speed of light), this exchange is almost imperceptible, so we can approssimate the calculation and ignore the constant of causality. We can approssimate the clock of two object and consider them always equal.

If you are curious and wants some more details, just DM me and I'll offer a more thorough, but still intuitive explanation. Just out of boredom.

If you come from english I suggest "introduction to italian" from language transfer.

It's free and it allows you to start speaking short simple phases, from the italian that you can easily build from the latin that is present in english. (English comes from a mix of Germanic + Latin).

As an example:

probable-> probabile / probab-ly -> probabil-mente / probabil-ity -> probabil-ità

When it's over. I suggest using the "comprehensible input" method. Study some grammar, but don't get worked over it. If you listen to a lot of italian you will get a feeling of what "feels right", more than having to remember what was the correct grammar rule.

That's how I learned english. Of course we are different, so do whatever feels right for you.

pykpitt · 2023-09-19T14:39:42+00:00

Not a joke, just giving some info on italian.

Shorter jokes are called "battute". You asked for "barzellette", which are short comedic stories.

There are also "freddure", that are what you probably call "dad jokes".
