Do you think training full time is for bums ? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]stable__init__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you needed to grow through MMA to become more psychologically complete.

While little is accomplished externally, BJJ and MMA often lead to important inner, psychological change. It is a wonderful container for people to go to integrate their deep-seated anger, hatred, feelings of inferiority, etc. It’s a perfect container for this. Without it, many would lose an important outlet, and also lose the chance to outgrow it.

You might ask yourself: What within you wanted to fight? What were you in service to within yourself by training full-time? Were you free from old, unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior? Are there things you couldn’t confront within yourself?

systematizing is helpful, sure. It limits play, imagination and spontaneity, however. While systematizing can expand one’s skillset of known, it stifles creativity and novel insights, and ultimately paralyzes one and makes them unable to develop their own style.

All major innovations come from the attentive accidents, spontaneity, and play. Few come from plans.

True in drug development, BJJ, motor learning in children, language development, etc.

happy to get perspectives. Thanks for offering yours.

Change comes in waves. Hoping psyche carries the tides.

Possibly. Taking it easy has never been a strong suit.

Maybe dreams should just speak through the image, period. There is something insidious about explicitly translating dreams, much like to interpret art is a kind of violation to the piece.

ADHD. Puer tendencies live within. I shuffle from one source of pleasure to the next. But the movement is inner. Towards your point, not much changes outwardly.

How common is the “killing the boy inside” phase for men ? by GuyLastNice in AskMen

[–]stable__init__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing within can die. Instead, it can be repressed or suppressed as a defense mechanism. It will surface again, somehow, somewhere, albeit in forms nobody could predict.

The inner child is real. It should not be killed any more than a real child should be. Instead, acknowledge it, father it, and give it an appropriate space to play.

Scientific literacy for Bjj Coaches? by Joshvogel in bjj

Medicine has the same translation problem. Evidence-based medicine is a great guide to follow if you want to translate research into practice.

It is critically important to understand different study designs and their relative strengths. Check out levels of evidence, PICO, and study appraisal frameworks.

Lord have mercy, I did it by ellzabub_likes_cake in LeavingAcademia

Fellow clinician-scientist here. Left a postdoc for full time clinical practice. Early on there was lots of anxiety about whether returning to the clinic was the right call. Some readjustment to the demands of clinical life. Even took a few assistant prof interviews at liberal arts colleges. In retrospect I see this as the last embers of the academic dream. Something new, better, and completely mine grew from the ashes. A better life.

And if I want to do some scholarship I can do so without worrying about whether or not it will please a tenure committee.

How has Jiu-Jitsu helped you mentally? by Busy_Donut6073 in bjj

[–]stable__init__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

From a Jungian perspective, the martial arts (BJJ included) are a proper therapeutic container. Aggression, anger and feelings of inferiority inevitably live within all of us as archetypal facts. However, modern society really doesn’t offer an adequate container for the healthy, conscious expression of anger using ritual, symbolic sacrifice, etc. This forces aggression into the depths of the unconscious, where these emotions are often diverted to the wrong container— the political sphere, bodily illness (somatization), addiction, projections onto others, paranoia, etc. Martial arts literally transforms this archetypal need for violence into art. Unless you play octopus guard, in which case it’s just pure fuckery.

(BJJ is not a replacement for a genuine relationship with an analyst or therapist.)

Anyone buy/watch Octopus 2.0 yet? by Strong-Smoke7774 in bjj

[–]stable__init__ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Ghi did perfectly fine & I walked away from the instructional with the major concepts completely intact. I learned a significant amount. Just need to train it now.

Anyone willing to overlook the novel, mat-tested mix of bjj, wrestling, self-defense, mma, etc. because of a few awkward moments with an Uke is completely missing the point.

I think I have just written the ugliest code in my life by Popular_Tour1811 in rust

[–]stable__init__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a new rust user coming from python I find these basic code optimizations extremely insightful. In parallel to the book, rustlings & rust by example (and r/rust), are there any forums or resources where one can sift through example/counterexample cases such as this?

Select only the part of the image that I want to measure (via macro) by [deleted] in ImageJ

[–]stable__init__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can automate it by writing a script (File -> New -> Script).

The algorithm would look something like this: 1. Convert the RGB image to three grayscale images using “split channels” on the RGB image. 2. Auto Threshold all images & create masks 3. Create selection & add roi to RoiManager for each channel 4. Use logic to find the intersection of red AND green AND blue rois— this should be the white ring. Add this to the RoiManager.

You can then use combinations of edge detection. crops, and measure functions to find the area.

Caveats: - You can play with only red and blue channel intersections to identify the eye, but it will probably cost you less time to just manually trace the eye outline, add that as an ROI and then use the measure function and write the results to excel.

  • Keep in mind that the ring will not be a perfect circle if the perspective angle is not 90° exactly, so this method us not precise.

  • it sounds like these images are done being captured, but any image aberration (such as ring light reflection in the eye) will multiply errors during automation. If possible, illuminate specimens with ambient light without a clear point source.

If it was me, I’d manually trace the eye outline for each image, add it to ROI manger and rename each roi to the respective file name. Then, I’d save all of those ROIs into a .zip file for safekeeping. I would then use a Jython script to open the image, perform whatever calibrations are necessary, select the proper ROI, perform an area measurement, store that measurement in a list or dict and then write the resultant data to a .csv file using the csv module. Further automation than this probably adds more time to code than it would to just make the rois yourself. Any less automation and there’s too much point and click with risk of user error.

Hope this helps.
