Got Started On Learning Python, So Far It’s Been Fun. The Weather Is Changing Every Hour Lmao. A Bit

«At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book. We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding. Instead, we digitize it the hard way—one page at a time. We use the Scribe, a book scanner our engineers invented, along with the software that it runs. Our scanning centers are located in universities and libraries around the world, from Boston Public Library to the University of Toronto to the Wellcome Library and beyond. Eliza is one of our fastest and most accurate scanners. Next she will execute quality control checks and fix any errors. Then she ships the book back to our Physical Archive for long-term preservation. Now imagine this: scanners like Eliza have done this 2,000,000 times. That’s what it takes to provide you with a free digital library.» – Plus Internet Archive’s Modern Book Collection Now Tops 2 Million Volumes, by Chris Freeland, February 3, 2021

What do y’all mean by you can open orange with hands that thing is unbreakable what the hell

With a face like this, like despite the whole avatar shit this is the most strange shit he ever witnessed!🤣🤣

The overwhelming need Steven has to acknowledge all the the animals he encounters 😭🤣🤣🤍

"Hello!"

THE INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE ; AMC productions.

The look on lestat's face! Like he is angry that he's doing this when he wants to give louis attitude for being a mean bitch to him hours ago, but then he hears her and is a little, if not a lot, intrigued about her.

Now that they're playing daddies to little Claudia, they're are absolutely going to discuss the clothes, ah yes, the joy of parents.

This was probably the funniest part of the episode😂😂, lestat being his usual sarcastic self.

He really has been away from children for too long😂

No comment, teen problems😂

This fight! They act so much like a family now, parents fighting over their teenage vampire daughter. Despite the fact that lestat is overly annoyed most of the times about Claudia's antics he doesn't entirely hate the concept.

This scene is almost a depiction of the possible consequences, –although the argument here subsides–, of Claudia's curiousity.

Louis told Claudia to be careful when digging around and troubling lestat with questions because as knew all to well, that past troubles some people.

This was a beautiful scene. Louis introducing Claudia to the idea that love works the same for all –objective in basics and free for subjective interpretations of the nuances. He answered her questions with just a few words but did so gently, not rebuking her, not confusing her more, just telling what it really is. This scene says so much about Louis and his acceptance of his sexuality throughout his years with lestat.

He's embraces that part of his identity.

This show!!! I mean the way they've portrayed Anne Rice's vampires on-screen, as eternal beings with having subtle shades of humanity. Of being murderers, almost like apex predators in their own habitat but still having the similar concerns of failure as a parent, of hurting their loved ones. And sometimes, of hunting the wrong prey, which is clearly the humane side of them bothering.

EPISODE 4, S1

May study challenge Day 2

So, today right after work I came back to my GitHub. I figured out how to pull/push repo on Mac. But most of my time was consumed by the attempt of changing the indicated programming language of the project. For example, my basically R script was detected by GitHub as JavaScript because one of the libraries I use is written in js.

I got to know that in one week I will be present my interactive maps at a department meeting!

Also, in three weeks we will have a hackathon in our company. And... in the application form I chose to program in Python. Despite that R is my main tool so far, I've learnt some algorithms exactly in Python. Though never used it in practice. It seems like I am gaining a growing mindset.

Also, today my colleague has forwarded my cv to his past company.

Finally, a bit of a nighttime was dedicated to German.

@hezalife I wanted to make a post about this because my answer was longer than what I could put in a reply comment! The comment was about this post I made about the project ideas I have saved in my notes app on my phone!

Okay to answer the question, I get a bunch of ideas from literally everywhere. Here are some of the ways I come up with ideas:

Hobbies/interests I have and think of a way to make a web app/program/web page out of it. E.g. I like playing Minecraft, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, The Sims etc so I would thing of ideas around those games and create a programming project out of it.

Get the stereotypical “beginners” project ideas and expand on that. Calculator? How do I make it better, more advanced! To-do list? Don’t like basic, add more and more features to it. Text-based RPG console game? Make it more complex. Stuff like that.

Same with the other point above but add a theme to it. Hello Kitty version (my go-to theme since I started programming…)

I follow people on GitHub and Twitter that share their projects and I think of something similar or get inspiration from them and think “Okay, how do I make myself and better?” Sometimes not even better but how would I tackle that project myself.

What would make my life a little bit easier - I made TumblrTextTint generate the code needed for formatting colours in text for me. I coded it and I use it. Don’t care if someone in the past did it already, I sat down and coded my own one. It’s all experience and a good feeling in the end~!

Since I’m all for experimenting and gaining experience with programming, I also follow some tutorials on YouTube and from that’s programming blogs online. I don’t like following the instructions exactly, I like to add my own twist!

Get stuck? Use those online generators to give you a prompt on a theme or a whole idea for a next project.

I have a blog and I like to add pages and changes to the theme a bit so I make a whole ass project out of it. “Build a navigation page”, “Build an About Me page” etc.

Things I use a lot and create a project idea from it e.g. I have a lot of Tumblr-related project ideas because I use Tumblr a lot. Find something you use and do a lot and create an idea from it to work on.

Hope this answers your question!! Sorry, it’s a long post!
