in my humble opinion the easiest way is to wake up extremely early, like 04:00 am

[winter spear]

@severe dust Hey! Just watched your last video about mental health. I've been watching your videos for quite some time now, so I have been able to form a mental image of yourself. And (as I am sure you already know) you are doing an awesome job! You are contemplative of yourself, find the things that do you wrong and try to break out of bad habbits. I mean, that's everything! Your attitude is great, you don't let it be ruined by bad things that may have happened to you in the past, or by the things you didnt have (and everyone else had). You find meaning in suffering and use it as a way to become a better version of yourself. I am sorry if this sounds mystirious and/or random (it does actually! 🙂 ), but I just wanted to share; I think it is always nice that people acknowledge you hard work. Greetings from a fellow computer scientist ^^

[analog geyser]

It is ok, if you go straight to studying. I like to exercise outdoors before to keep me my dopamine levels high (you need a reward system), so I have to wake up at 4:30 am at least. I've been doing that for 9 months now daily, and it is transforming my life.

Waking up early is the easiest solution to most common problems: no energy, no focus, no time, no happy etc.

[young umbra]

HEY Y'ALLI HAVE A RANDOM SUGGESTON WHICH JUST MIGHT JUST WHATYOU BEEN SEARCHING FOR!

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEM WHILE TRYING TO STUDY AND U JUST CASUALLY ZONE OUT THEN GO TO YT AND SEARCH WHITE NOISE FOR STUDY IT WILL KEEP YOU COMPLTELY FOCUSED AND WILL HELP ALOT IF YOU HAVE NOISY BACKGROUND WHILE STUYDING! TY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY ! GL

[young umbra]

Hey ! i do have a similar problem i tried gettin up early many time (i keep alarm everytime)but most of the time i tend to goto sleep again unless i have some very imp task like exams and test ! any thing u would like to suggest?

but i tend to study at night tho ! i want a calm environment to study so its either night or morning ! altho favor night

[tardy lava]

Yes, that is great advice thank you but I was wandering if it would be possible for someone to do their bs in physics and ms in engineering afterwards like does someone who has bs in physics have the option to do that? If they take the American route...

yea me too cant sleep

[arctic ice]

If ur doing maths or some calculation-based problems (which u have already have an idea on) u can put on some lofi beats at 25% volume and study

But If you're doing some thesis/theory based subjs(doesn't matter if u have an idea or not) I'd suggest u (as u don't have a quiet bg) u can study at night or morning and if it's not quiet even at that time u can put on noise-cancelling headphones and/or white noise(not an actual "noise") and study

[analog geyser]

Hello guys, a question, how do you think it is possible to learn to play piano from 0 independently, since I do not have time to attend an academy or take private lessons, I would appreciate any advice.

[young umbra]

Try the.music I suggest just get a earpod and listen to it while studying u will forget their are people around u

Don't listen any music that can distract u lofi is good if u have to write something but if u want to learn new things and if you are revisiing theory part listen to white noise it will minimize background noise and focus u

[grizzled fjord]

hello.. lets say i wake up at 5am.. is it better to study as soon as i wake up or first excercise then start studying?

[surreal widget]

i would study first then exercise

[grizzled fjord]

alright ty

[analog geyser]

I go to exercise first because I feel really good afterwards, and you need a reward system to propel you to wake up early on the daily basis, even when you don't feel like doing it. After couple of months it is automatic.

”Samson went down to Timnah. There in Timnah a woman caught his eye, a Philistine girl. He came back and told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, a Philistine girl; get her for me as my wife.” His parents said to him, “Isn’t there a woman among the girls in the neighborhood of our people? Do you have to go get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me. She’s the one I want—she’s the right one.”“

any advice on how to logically memorize this

[young umbra]

guys, i am in a bit of a dilemma

i want to achieve good grades in uni, but idk how to go about it

naturally i am a lazy guy and i just revise through the lecture slides, however my friends have been putting me on flashcards and quizlet, would you say those are effective for memorising information?

[fair hollow]

try making maps on the topics to study and flashcards on the maps you just made (for example one card for each branch), once done use the flashcards with spaced repetition and the maps only in case you don't actually remember something or in the long term

[young umbra]

Thank you bro

[random smelt]

OK so i will tell you a pretty straight forward way, now you need to understand that our predictions are considered as negative or positive, so if the question is, will there be any traffic during 10 am, so you basically have 2 options to say yes or no, right? If you say yes then it will be positive and negative for no. Now our prediction and actual event is a different thing right? So if I say there will be traffic during 10 am (ie positive) but in reality it doesn't happen then it will be considered false event, here is where true and false's concept comes... if our prediction matches with the reality it's referred as true event (ie true positive for I predicted it will happen and it did, and true negative for I predicted it won't happen and it didn't)
In contrary if reality is different from our prediction then it's a false event for eg I said there will be traffic during 10 am, but there was none ... so the situation will be false positive and now I need you to give me example for a false negative situation..... so I get that you read all this and I helped you to understand not rote learn this beautiful concept

[orchid zephyr]

tyyy

[random smelt]

Tell me bout false negative

If you are still having hard time no worries I can further explain

[orchid zephyr]

False negative is where you predict it's false but in reality it's true

you are false about being negative

instead of mapping out your study I would recommend planning it, this way you know where you are with the study and you also have an actual idea of when you will finish and how much you will be able to repeat or think about other things(plan it thinking at the long, medium and short term)

Do y'all have any recommendations on what to do when you're feeling kinda burned out, but also can't afford that because you have goals etc
I struggle with procrastination so much

[young umbra]

I would recommend doing nothing at all for a few hours and your mindset should be like this I'm not allowed to do anything the only thing i can do is study and after doing nothing for sometime you would automatically feel i should study maybe this will help idk

[autumn echo]

Meditation, water and physical exercise. All are critical to a healthy body and mind. Many ppls will ignore exercise, thinking it only benefits the body. They are wrong. It greatly enhances your mental state and mental ability.

How to stop procrastination tips? I’ve noticed a possible root cause:

For assignments, I noticed my mind will automatically assume the work’s difficult (Imagine me at the bottom of a mountain, staring at what looks like a 90° angle impossible to climb.) and as a result, I don’t even open the assignment until last minute. 99% of the time, when I do finally open it, it turns out to be easier than what my head pictured. (The mountain was something I could climb after all, all I needed to do was start. Start by opening the assignment, looking at the assignment, and doing it.)

For doing my notes, my head instantly tells myself during class that ”I have time, I’ll do my notes later” and 99.99% of the time, later turns to never.

I think I have the root causes down, and I’m a first year nursing student now, (2/3 done with my first semester) and I know I can’t keep this bad habit. It’s causing me avoidable stress, I don’t want to bring my team down, and I don’t want to be seen as the irresponsible classmate who always needs prompting and can’t carry her own weight. (I’ll admit, that feeling is embarrassing) Anyone got help for breaking procrastination once and for all? I’ve tried eat-the-frog, but it doesn’t help much when it comes to the mental block of me thinking my assignments are hard. So far, snowball method (smallest tasks first) seems to work good-ish.

for like all students here

What do you say is the most effective way to study ??

Generally

[thorn thistle]

Yeah, it's in html, in Joomly program

[agile nest]

hi

[still stone]

I feel like that depends on the subject. ie for math it would be doing a bunch of different practice problems whereas for history it would probably be active recall

[tough spire]

defiantely 60/10 or 50/10 method

for STEM subjects your best friend is problem solving

for biology, med, history etc using the feynman technique works best, basically simplified active recall

what is the maximum time you go without reviewing a topic? according to the forgetting curve after like 5 reviews you can go like a month without reviewing at all, do you guys really do that? I don't think I could go a month without reviewing and remember

[velvet nexus]

What are you studying with spaced repetition?
I use it for Japanese and at the moment I have cards with almost 3 years intervals. Most of my cards have 1 year intervals and for me is not a problem, since these cards are vocabulary words.

I know other people use it for med school, a lot of YouTube videos explaining how to use Anki for that field, which may be applicable to yours

[full fjord]

I see, maybe with single words it does work

I use it to review entire chapters in college, not just facts or words

like to schedule entire review sessions, not just flashcards

[velvet nexus]

Well then I can’t help you at all, maybe you can find something on YouTube

i have two laptops and i don’t know which one is better and which i should keep

Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 Gen 8
i5-10210U
16gb ddr4
256 ssd
intel iris graphics

pros: light and thin and runs what i need

cons: doesn’t run any of the games i want to play with friends but runs bare minimum on a game like valorant for 30 fps

this is my current laptop and the next laptop is free for me i dont know if i should upgrade to it

2. ASUS ROG Zephyrus GA401I
   Ryzen 5 4600HS
   16gb DDR4
   1tb ssd
   GeForce GTX 1650 ti

(no pros and cons as it hopefully with advice going to be the upgrade)

what do i use it for?
School work, im doing a levels. maths economics and computer science. i travel a lot between peoples houses and the library and it would go in a backpack. multitasking too. i use adobe audition very often alongside discord and or fl studio. discord very often because i talk to friends all the time. also i play games every so often with my friends but im not sure about how much time i have to do that.
i’m learning to code so thats going to have python on 24/7. both laptops primarily stay off and connected to a monitor keyboard and mouse but again i travel a lot. lenovo has windows 10 pro and asus has windows 10 home.

I cant figure out how to approach maths,

The problem really stems from me not studying it much or being encouraged towards maths from my childhood, it was always a scary subject but the weird thing is i had the same approach for physics except i was interested in its concepts yet i was awful at the numerical aspect of both like any student, now after practicing a ton in both of those subjects the issue im facing is even though ive started scoring as high as one of the highest all across my institute's branches in the country, i cannot do the same for maths
I really dont understand how to tackle this issue as ive tried constant practice like a thousand or so questions of integration and i look at another and my mind goes poof yet in physics, which i struggled with JUST as much if not more, i can solve even typically difficult things a lot of ease ,mentally. hlep

[analog geyser]

Try it to make it more interesting? Like applied math. E.g. with just linear algebra you can write a spam classifier for emails, is that not cool? I would encourage you to delve into applied aspects of math, almost any topic is applied somewhere somehow in real world.

hello! i've finished my first semester of college ever. it wasn't a totally pleasant experience, but i think surviving and passing the tests is the most important thing, right?
however, i failed my math tests which, until now, i thought was the subject i was really good at! i don't know how to deal with failure... i feel confused and demotivated. i have an exam on january 12th, it's my last chance, otherwise i'll fail the class. i'm going to start studying next week.
does anyone have any tips on how i can accept my failure and not let it affect me so much?

[desert pine]

start studying now and just keep going

grades dont define you as a person, its a reflection of how you carry yourself in that class and how you look at the class, get to work and get that A, good luck

1 - choose a single material to study
2 - if necessary, supplement it later
3 - mark each piece of information with a highlighter (yellow = important, pink = examples)
4 - read each page, forcing yourself to memorize what was written
5 - learn = memorize

biology, phys, math = solve much exercises

[swift solar]

anyone doing cs?

[quick jewel]

it’s only been your first semester and you still have a promising college career awaiting ahead you. it may be discouraging to fail a class but rather than only seeing the negatives of it, take it as a learning lesson to see if there is any way to improve on how you studied or how you approached a class. that way you can apply that to your future classes and know how you can succeed in those classes.

also studying is important but it’s also important to take care of yourself. try to pace your studying so that you aren’t burning yourself out and take care of your body because if you’re not in the best shape, no amount of studying is going to stick if you can’t do your best work. i’m pretty sure your college has resources such as tutoring to help you figure out where you’re struggling in certain subjects. try to take advantage of these resources as they’re there to help you. looking into clubs is a good way to balance out your academics and social life. there are probably a wide range of clubs such as social clubs (ex. sorority/frats, sports, cultural, etc) to clubs about subjects (ex. math, science, etc). i have met some of my best friends from these clubs and i regret not looking into them sooner. i know college is a big change for you but you will learn to adapt and hope you have fun while doing so.

does anyone have any tips on how to not let your marks effect your current studies?

I have my college entrance exam in less than a month, and i havent been doing that well on mock tests(they arent even covering the full syllabus rn)
i keep worrying about whether i'll be able to perfom well or not in the exam itself
i do have some parts still left to revise (they were not included in the mock)
bad results somehow hinder my studies and the understanding of the topic i am doing at the moment

[paper pelican]

hey guys i have question maybe ho knows the answer, why jvscholz using old computer/laptops to study programing life, what is the reason for that

[young umbra]

taking a guess that you're from india and preparing for jee'24. so if that's the case then rather than being tensed about the future outcome, try to do a proper analysis of every single mock test (even if you haven't done much mistakes).
there are situations where we'd be able to solve few questions normally but can't solve them during mock tests. why? you might say it's cause of time pressure. that's true in a certain sense but there might be other reasons as well maybe the method which you've used to solve the question is just too long and you didn't give that much importance while you were practicing.
so yea, just don't see the result of your mock tests and start panicking and thinking about marks which you'd get in the actual examination

i don’t know much about the desktop computers he owns (but i bet at least one of them is probably a sleeper build haha), so i’ll just talk about the old laptops he owns, which all seem to be thinkpads... (i love thinkpads, maybe too much)

james is an enthusiast of old tech, and imho think older thinkpads are the only viable option nowadays when it comes to older laptops. they’re far more durable than any modern laptop today. you could throw it in your backpack and not even worry about it. james also likes to tinker with tech, which you can easily do with older thinkpads due to their upgradability. you could upgrade basically almost anything with an older thinkpad; almost everything is replaceable. this means that despite them being “old,” they can still last you a long time. then of course, there’s the keyboard on older thinkpads. i’ve heard the typing experience on them is amazing. i think most people tend to overlook the importance of a good keyboard, especially with laptops, and underestimate the difference it can make. lastly, when it comes to its hardware, the older thinkpads obviously look old, so it’s very unlikely they’d get stolen… i mean not to say i wouldn’t steal one, but anyway…

aside from their hardware, thinkpads are known to be the best choice when it comes to linux compatibility, which is what james runs on them. unix-based systems, like linux, are preferred when it comes to programming. linux isn't just good for programming though. james has said himself that he doesn’t like his devices telling him what they can or can’t do. he likes being able to customise them. linux offers this freedom and has customisation options that mac, and windows wouldn’t be able to provide. there are also so many linux distros available that you could find one lightweight enough to run on some of the oldest thinkpads, or really any old laptop in general, without having to upgrade them

older thinkpads essentially offer both the aesthetic that james wants, as well as the functionality that he needs. i myself own a thinkpad that ran linux, albeit not necessarily an "older" model, but i still loved it. i even prefer it over my macbook in some cases x)

I've been kinda depressed lately for my own personal reasons, but my final exams are really close and I wanna do good. However, whenever I do anything that doesn't completely distract me my depressing thoughts come back and I just can't focus. I'm finding it so hard to get up and study I just feel like doing absolutely nothing all day. I'm in a very weird position where even though I wanna stay in bed and feel useless and believe that nothing matters, I still wish to get good grades. Nothing goes in my head tho. I don't know what to do.

Hey guys, a general cyber security question. Can the government read into what "specifically" you have downloaded from a google drive ? I believe they cannot as it is a HTTPS traffic. But still want to make sure, as I am downloading a PDF book from a drive, but technically it would be counted as illegal copy rights infringement by the German government.

[crystal epoch]

Hey y'all, so my parents are lowkey forcing me to pursue masters. I have just completed my B.Tech in CSE and i am working right now as an android develeoper. TBH after suffereing from depresssion and anxiety during my college i finally found a positive perspective in my final year and started feeling better. So after i took this job i thought i'll take one step at a time and focus on my job and be good at what i do, it's been 5 months and i have two choices to either find a better job or to pursue my masters.
Now i am living with my parents, so i really wanna move out, either by getting a job or doing masters.
The first issue is i don't know how to get a job, i got my current job through my dad's connections. And the second issue is I don't know what masters to pursue and where (country, btw i am from India).
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these, my DMs are open.

[past violet]

james seems quite tech-savvy, so i doubt it! he probably has an adequate number of fans inside the pc to keep it cool. he could be keeping the room temperature low too, which can help. he also doesn’t seem to be running anything heavy 24/7 that would cause it to fry up

It could be seasonal affective disorder if it's cold where you are. You should see a doctor but also check off the major boxes: eating enough/healthy enough, drinking water, getting sunlight/vit d supplements/multi vitamin, exercise, socializing with people who don't upset you, having enough sleep a day, stuff like that.

Does anyone know where to find scans of the to-do list James is selling? I want to see if it offers anything new. (Sorry if this post got deleted, I thought I posted it but now can't find it)

I think so too but I have also been battling with stuff from my life that has been going on for years, I do try to take care of myself overall, and even try to think positively but my efforts are often in vain. Right now I'm trying to make use of the little time I don't feel like absolute shit

[young umbra]

Studies have shown that having one sleepless night can fix your depression state, as well as taking care of yourself maybe try the next night to work on planning the time for the next few days and to work hard for it, consider eating two eggs every morning and black seeds too cause they help manage your dopamine and serotonin levels
And don't let your negative thoughts consume you, let them wander just like clouds and then let them go

Focus only on the present and have a little nescafe avoid coffee or black teas too

[stone galleon]

Heloooww everyone

[solemn steeple]

Remember - nothing's more important than health (physical and mental). Give yourself some time for recovery, (without pressure to study) and then you can start to improve productivity once again.

Pushing yourself without feeling well is just a waste of time and energy, at least that's what I found out over the years...

[lunar valve]

whats a good organiser/to-do-list app for windows?

[solemn steeple]

I use To-Do by Microsoft. It doesn't offer any advanced features, but it gets the job done. It's quick to use, the app runs smoothly (opposed to my previous experience with Notion app).

By pairing it with Power Automate (in cloud) you can expand its functionality. Eg. I created flows that delete completed tasks after certain time threshold, but the (so called) connectors allow you to create pretty much any flow that you can possibly imagine.

The only thing that it lacks is built-in calendar, but Microsoft assures they will add it someday...

[gentle sequoia]

Yo what do i do with all my childhood hotwheels collection i had idea that i can put them on a circle board or something and the boards remoains stable and the cars move in circle like a clock or something (u gt what im saying rt) what are some other suggestions??

[lunar valve]

Thanks :)

[swift cape]

I think the microsoft to-do app is cross platform and I think there are some tasks you can check on the outlook desktop app too which makes it very nice. Thanks for the tip on power automate, it sounds like something I should check out.

[twin moat]

look into notion

its v cool and available for windows, mac, ios, android, etc.

[manic apex]

Yep notion if you want it to access over multiple platforms plus a great UI, Obsidian if you want customization and want to have more control over your note taking process, and Neovim if you're someone like me and have no life.

I’m currently writing a research paper for school. The problem is, I’m sorta new to conducting my own independent research so I’m not sure if this process is supposed to be as time consuming as it is. Basically, how can I find relevant sources if I don’t really know what I’ll write about? And, when doing research, am I supposed to already know what my argument will be (so it’s more like I’m just finding sources to back up what I say), or are the arguments and ideas I will plan to write about in my paper supposed to develop as I do research?

If anyone wants to know what my paper will be about, it’s about third culture kids and how a globally mobile childhood impacts the development of one’s sense of identity and belonging. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated

[eternal badger]

What you do then is either too under- or overstimulating. Boredom and Passive Studying (Reading, Re-Reading, Text Highlighting, not being ingaged in the topic) as well as Overwhelmness (too difficult topic, doing too much at a time,...) are common causes. Depending on what it is, try mixing things up, and finding your sweet spot in intensity and stuff. Always remember: Confusion kills Focus. Have Clarity about what you want to do, how and WHY. If you've been trying to study for more than 30min with distractions and sleepiness as a result: Move away, do something different (non-quick-dopamine like Social Media tho), get some water and fresh air, get rid of distractions and then start working again. Sometimes it helps to not overthink the task and how much you want to do it and how this and that should be done, etc. Just head into it. This is btw the only thing that has helped me with procrastination. Just doing it without overthinking whether i want to do it. If I need to, I just do it. Don't force yourself too much and still enjoy working tho. Breaks are important. Have purpose and clarity in your actions always.

Sorry, kinda long but I hope i could help :)

[swift cape]

@lime flume It depends on what it's for. Is it a high school paper or college senior presentation?

Hello

[manic apex]

Hello sir, big fan

[quick plinth]

i recently started reading a non-fiction book, and I want to learn the most efficient and effective method of reading so I can retain information while applying the lessons learned practically. Is there any tips or sources someone could provide?

[manic apex]

If you really wanna retain info and apply it to your life then:

1. Make notes, write relevant things you find helpful and what are your insights on them or how you plan to apply them in your life.
2. Do not rush, implementing some new things in your life can take time, so remember, one step at a time.

[quick plinth]

I really appreciate the tips!

Great question to start your journey, really. Opens up possibilities for you to grow. Buuuut the answer to your question depends A LOT on different factors you want to learn about. Focus. Habits. Strategies. Setting Goals. Etc etc etc. Something I can always recommend is looking up Cajun Koi Academy on Youtube. You'll see yourself. Feel free to ask more specific questions tho. Love helping out

I've my exams in less than 4 weeks time, any tips?

[eternal badger]

Have clear tasks (don't just say I'll study this subject but what exactly, like chapter and how many questions, etc etc) and make an overview. Plan ahead (what day to study what, aka study in chunks and not one subject at once), use techniques like Pomodoro to help your focus ability and for reviewing Active Recall (write down questions as you study to answer later or write down everything you know about the subject to detect missing gaps). Stay hydrated, take breaks (in which you allow your mind to wander, aka don't i.e. read or use social media) and make sure to make studying enjoyable.

[young umbra]

can u help me with this?

[alpine mural]

[slender mica]

Hi, i'm new here. I hope this is the right channel to ask, but i really need some advice because i'm stuck with my life.
I'm 25 years old, freshly made this month. I'm tremendously late with my university courses. I only completed the english exam, 5 years ago.
I heavily suffer from depression and social anxiety, i'm doing therapy for 3 years now. I think i've improved and i'm doing better.
I just got an awakening call last month with a Job offer, which caused me to rethink completely of my life. The job offer as a fe/be software engineer is not bad, but the idea of abbandoning my studies makes me feel in pain, i feel like a failure and i don't know if it's right to give up.
I want to REALLY start studying and complete all my 22 exams. I wanted to do this and started every year trying to follow lessons and have a routine but without much success. I'm a software engineer student. I'm not good at math and the theorical language makes my head blow up, i really can't comprehend it and there is simply too much to study.
Nonetheless i still want to pursue my dream and graduate.
Does it make sense to start studying again for the 4th time and if all goes well, graduate at 28/29 years old?
Or I am just too old and I should just give up and start working?
I'm afraid that joining the industry at 29 will hinder me completely. I can't understand if i am just in love with the idea of graduating and hoping for high paying jobs when maybe in reality it won't be like that, so that i've wasted another 3-4 years of my life.
If i accept the job now i'll earn 1000€ monthly for the first 4months, then 1600€ monthly. After 2 years the pay will go up to 1800€ monthly. It doesn't sound good, but considering my lack of skills i really can't land a better job than this. In five years i'll have around 80k~€ in my bank account, considering some expenses.
What should i really do?
I live in poverty, but i don't really spend money, my uni taxes are 400€ per year, and i can afford to study.

I apologize if it's not appropriate from me to write this, but i would really appreciate some advices

[swift cape]

I’d say you can do it both ways. You can have your hypothesis and only select sources that back up your argument while ignoring the rest. You can also have a hypothesis and after reading sources, change your mind about your argument. It may help to do some interviews/talks with friends or classmates to see their perspective on the topic. You can also make a questionnaire when talking to people and do some statistical analysis eg ‘X % of respondents strongly agreed with the statement “XYZ” ‘. You can also cite academic papers from google scholar explaining what other researchers found about the topic. In college, we get access to a bunch of academic papers through our school. They always ask for a bunch of money to read them but you can always just pirate.

[swift cape]

I think you should just go for it but keep in mind super high software dev salaries are rare and you’ll probably make something closer to the average. I graduated at 30 and while my pay may not be very good, my retirement account is on par with others my age (because I live with parents and don’t spend $2k a month on rent/utilities).

I’m assuming the job you were offered is something like where you’re training/working under a professional so they pay is bad for a couple years?

[slender mica]

Yes

[swift cape]

If you don’t work hard, you wont pass your classes and probably wont get hired. In past years, sometimes companies would hire people with a couple years of college but no degree. The job market is rougher now, especially because of the layoffs

Well, you’ll have experience at the end of it…which is good. It then depends on if you get screened out of other jobs because of no degree.

[slender mica]

2 of my friends work already there, this is their second year. They told me it's a good place to learn, but it really much depends on the project they assign you.
I'll do a training on the spot for java and angular, but this won't mean i'll end up doing this.
During the interview they asked me what i want to do, so i said front end or backend, and they'll try to give me the most fitting project accordingly. The projects are based on the clients they get.

[swift cape]

That sounds like a pretty sweet gig actually.

[slender mica]

My university course is electronic and IT applied together, it's not to become a programmer, so i really don't want to end up as a coder.
But seeing the math required for electronics, signals, systems etc it's really demotivating, even if my dreamjob would be in the embedded systems or in the architecture

(sorry for my english, not my native language)

[unborn laurel]

to anyone who uses active recall and spaced rep with notion, do to you go to your lecture notes or textbooks and create questions while you go through it and answer it at the end or do you read the entire chapter, create questions then answer

[swift cape]

Ahh, I see. You don’t want to be a coder. You could use it as a way to get back into the routine of getting up everyday, and working for 8H a day but other than that it may not be useful if you want to do not coding.

But yeah, if your course is closer to engineering, it’s an obscene amount of math. The math doesn’t go away either, it’s used in basically every engineering class after it. They even crammed calc into my bfs stats class, it was hilarious

[slender mica]

Yeah It's very strange to explain, but in italy you just don't have a "software engineer" university.
You have the "Software development" uni, and the "IT Engineering" one.
The latter is derivated from the electronic engineering course. I really don't know to explain, it's strange, we have programming courses, they teach java/c++ but it's mostly the way you think and solve the problem more than a programming language course. We have automation, electromagnetic fields course, robotics, electronic calculators course, theory of systems, principles of software's development, Analysis 1, Analysis 2, Physics 1, Physics 2, probability and statistics, analogic and digital electronic, operative systems, circuit theory

(I did my best to translate my courses names, i'm not even sure how are they called in english)

And yeah, there's math litterally everywhere. For my "fundamentals of programming" exam there's like, nodes, data structures, encoding and decoding, bit manipulation, and calculation of computational complexity. Meanwhile the "oral" part of the exam is a coding test in c++.

[eternal badger]

While you go through it. To check at the end if you understanded everything. Otherwise you might have already missed/forgot information to use for those questions. If active recall gets boring over time, grab a page and write down everything about that topic and then check what you missed afterwards (it's called blurring method ig). Or Feynman Technique: teach the topic to an imaginary student in a way that a child could understand you. More information than what u asked for, but hope it helps and good luck with your studies!

Try to do a few questions per day with ur pre board prep as both are equally important as jee requires loads of practice I think u gotta manage doing both only that would help !

does anyone know how to pass an AI plagiarism check in uni wrt an essay??

[mint junco]

use an AI plagiarism checker online and then change up sentences and words, makes sure to read your entire essay so it doesn't sound terrible. Usually AI writes overdramatic and OTT essays that can easily let any smart professor know that you've used AI

[granite lily]

thanks, do you know any valid free “AI checkers”?

[mint junco]

here's the one i use https://plagiarismdetector.net/ai-content-detector

it has a paraphrasing tool but again, they make it sound weird and ur professor will probably be able to tell

I should start taking lions mane again

[young umbra]

Don’t rely on lions mane

Because your going to develop a false sense of nature that only lions mane keeps you going

[languid pumice]

Hahahah true but it does help a bit

[languid pumice]

I’m glad I’m not the only one

How old are you?

I’m 16

[young umbra]

I’m 15

[young umbra]

Take it momentarily then

[languid pumice]

Yeah I normally do that

[fading burrow]

I’ve found that thinking about it in the long-term really helps put things into perspective. If something similar happens each time you are on break then it might be worth asking yourself if you wish for it to continue. Changing behaviours and habits* take time and if you want to build a foundation for change then now is a great time to start.

e.g You could keep a log and mood track for a period of time along with which activities you do. Certain activities will cause your dopamine to fluctuate more than others. If you have awareness of triggers and habit loops and such, you can start to make small changes. all the best :))

[tranquil pier]

just read through your material like youre reading a story book or something

read throught it again and repeat

and take small breaks in between

[crude charm]

i keep getting frustrated at my statistics material ahhh

how tf do i not give up

[tranquil pier]

maybe you need a break then

[crude charm]

maybe haha

thx

[tranquil pier]

and if even that doesnt work then try doing something more frustrating or more boring than studying your notes.

u can put away ur phone or any devices that may distract u

and yea just do something boring as hell

and if u do that for a 2 days or so. youll find studying to be a bit more intersting

its a way to trick ur brain

[crude charm]

i’m practicing rn and it’s frustrating because i didn’t fully understand some concepts during the lecture then it’s harder to get through the exercises

[tranquil pier]

then you should have solved your doubts during your lecture

[crude charm]

it a little to late to say that? but i figured it out now anyway so thx for taking the time to reply to me

I unfortunately have to disagree with that as if my life depends on it. Rereading is actually the worst thing you can do. Please, your mind will tell you you understand everything while it simply already sees the answer, dk how to describe that. Instead, use either flashcards or blurring. With the blurring method, you write down on a sheet of paper everything you know about this topic (as if explaining it to a imaginary student (Feynman Technique)) and afterwards check with your notes and restudy missing parts. Very helpful right before exams as well. Maybe try some breathing exercises as well and take breaks where you actually let your mind wander and get some rest. Everything will be fine, you will be fine. We all know that, you got this @young umbra ||sorry for da pingelyping||

[young umbra]

Thanks for the talk 🙂

[tranquil pier]

Ye i agree and thats a great way to study but I specifically said that since her exam is tomorrow and she should just re read everything so that she doesnt go blank and atleast has something to write down

I would agree with blurring method tho, it does help alot

[outer hornet]

Anyone know a good study desk to buy

I need a new one

[still stone]

ikea alex drawers and an ikea tabletop

theyre super basic and reliable

[strong saddle]

where u from? If ur from the US just go to every thrift store in your area and you’ll eventually find a dirt cheap desk that’s suitable for your space

[outer hornet]

Bet

[soft flicker]

I REALLY need someone to help me understand something very basic. I have already been taught acid-base titration a year ago, but I simply cannot understand why the curve becomes so steep at the equivalence point. Yes, I understand that the last hydron reacts, and there is no more acid left, but why does it suddenly become so steep, why doesn't it happen gradually all the way through?
Please ping me if you have an answer.

[wild ridge]

What’s the best todo list app?

[errant harness]

Does somebody want to share some analog electronics, digital electronics or impulse electronics knowledge ?

[eternal badger]

Uhhhh, depends on your needs. Usually things don't need to be fancy, the pre-installed notes apps on phones are sufficient. Really. Notion is probably the best for everything. Tracking, notes, essays, workspace, EVERYTHING. You need some time and effort to get used to it tho, YT tuts help alot. Uhhh, what else.. I love MinimaList (might be only for ios tho, idk). As the name says, minimal and efficient, even has a pomodoro timer included. Ticktick is great as well if you like the system of Eisenhauer Matrix, know some ppl who use it.

Try out some of these or just scroll thru your App Store and try out some. I usually have a journal with me with all my to do's and projects blablabla but i 100% recommend the few I mentioned

[tacit escarp]

after trying out many todo and planning systems (notion, notes app, habitica etc) i think nothing beats a notepad and a pen. ive found BuJo really helpful but sometimes when i dont have the motivation for it just writing everything down plainly works great.

[somber escarp]

yo guys im thinking of doing an all nighter, any tips?

[eternal badger]

If not necessary, don't. If you do, be sure to not be sleep deprived the days before (although i don't think you could change that now..) Otherwise, if you're like 80% awake, take a nap. If early enough, you'll either wake up on your own or get up easier with an alarm. Still, sleeping even 3h are still more efficient than an allnighter. Tried too often and sleep is literally the best answer. At least 90min.

But if you actually gonna do it: try to stay in a balanced temperature. If you're freezing, you'll want to get somewhere warm and you'll fall asleep. Always let some fresh air inside, take a shower (or just wash your face with cold/iced water), take more breaks and move around, always be kinda busy (don't let yourself think about sleep) and don't make yourself too comfortable. Have clarity and purpose about what you do. Stay in an upright position to reduce the chance of falling asleep and have bright lights around you (if possible pretty natural - that means not too bright or dim). Stay hydrated

@soft flicker the answer i found (ai) The steepness of the curve at the equivalence point in an acid-base titration can be explained by the concept of pH and the nature of the reaction.

During an acid-base titration, a strong acid is gradually added to a strong base (or vice versa) until the equivalence point is reached. The equivalence point is the point at which the moles of acid and base have reacted in stoichiometrically equivalent amounts.

Before the equivalence point, the pH of the solution is determined by the excess acid or base present. The pH changes gradually as small amounts of acid or base are added, resulting in a relatively shallow curve on the titration curve.

At the equivalence point, the stoichiometrically equivalent amounts of acid and base have reacted completely. This means that there are no excess acid or base present in the solution. At this point, the pH changes rapidly with the addition of even a small amount of acid or base. This rapid change in pH results in a steep curve on the titration curve.

The steepness of the curve at the equivalence point can be explained by the fact that the addition of a small amount of acid or base can cause a significant change in the pH of the solution. This is because the solution is at a critical point where the slightest addition of acid or base can cause a sharp change in the concentration of the hydronium or hydroxide ions, leading to a steep change in pH.

[languid pumice]

Is this correct

Hi! I hope it is the right place to send it: I'm a final year student of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology and I'm writing my bachelor's thesis on the socio-cultural construct of age, the approach to age, and its impact on how people feel and how they manage their lives, the quarter-life crisis and how the meaning of age is changing - "thirties are the new twenties" etc. I need to collect data from as many people as possible from as many countries as possible. I would be very grateful for your help and filling out the survey! 🙏

Also, I'm not a native speaker so I'd also really appreciate it if you let me know if you see any glaring errors or ambiguities in my survey. Thanks a lot for your time!

How do I get the crct value

[young umbra]

Oh mahn High chance of me getting a gf than getting help here 😭😭😭😭

[sour cipher]

If im on 1920x1080 what resolution should i resize it to? I tried to resize it on 1920x1080 but i got black bars.

[solar rapids]

I made it bigger using AI i can send it to you when i get home, its not perfect but good enough for me

[sour cipher]

ok

[young umbra]

why is everyone so desperate to be like james (using same wallpaper as him, same devices systems and so on)

[past violet]

i think they just admire james, and there's really no harm in using the same wallpaper as him

[still stone]

Perhaps they believe adopting the same mannerisms and lifestyle as him will make them work as hard as him? Idk lol. It is harmless though.

I definitely attribute a couple of my interests/hobbies to jvscholz

[solar rapids]

For wallpapers I use what I like, i liked that painting so I use it, before I had other painting which I liked, and for the being like James, with other things, like setup and devices, people may like the esthetics or just in general like the devices for example thinkpads, ereaders and others, but yes, I get your point it's not good to copy someone's setup, it may not be ideal for you and may even lower your focus/concentration but it's everyone's choice

and the wallpapers for anyone who wants them

broo anyone know where i can get that skateboard desk ?

He said in his latest vid that he bought it on Etsy.

[young umbra]

not rlly study related but does anyone know how to generally stay awake for a few extra hours?? id usually sleep 14 hours a day if i could but its not possible and rn i wake up at 10 (someone wakes me up no matter what) regardless of how early or late i sleep...id go to sleep when i feel tired which is usually 11 pm but thats 11 hours wasted so i try to sleep by 2 but i get extremely sleepy....coffee doesnt normally help.....any advice??

[sharp eagle]

wait wait wait 14h a day??!!?!??

[young umbra]

yeaaahhh

[sharp eagle]

i sleep that much in a week 😭

/hj

[young umbra]

i used to sleep upto 14 hours a day during summer vacations and if im left undisturbed and unmonitored i usually end up sleepying 12-13 hours a day

Lolll

[sharp eagle]

well idk 14h seems likea lot.. maybe try keeping it to 10 or 9 or smt

[young umbra]

but like now i have board exams which are super important so i want to minize that...

yeahh i try sleeping 9-10 but im getting so exhausted staying up and coffee doesnt help

[sharp eagle]

ohh okay during summer vacas its okay

but normally

during school hours how much do u sleep?

oh wait r u indian?

[young umbra]

normally if im undisturbed i sleep 12 ish hours (before) and my family members have helped me wake up a bit earlier so im getting about 10 hours of sleep and im still tired af

yeppp

[sharp eagle]

ahhh do u do a lot of physical ex or smt?

[young umbra]

not rlly- i have a kinda sedentry lifestyle but i do travel like 2-3 hours for exams and before id travel upto 3 and a half hours daily

im getting like half an hour of sleep on the train as well but i still end up exhausted by 11 ish pm, and since i wake up at 10 regardless of what time i sleep ive been wanting to try and atleast study till a bit late, like 130 or 2 am

[sharp eagle]

the reason why u might be feeling tired after sleeping for 14h maybe because u wake up in beween ur ultradian sleep.

[young umbra]

whats that

[sharp eagle]

ohhh id say try sleeping at 12 and maybe wake up earlier

9 or smt

wait ill send the video

[young umbra]

also now im not sleeping 14 hours anything- 10 hours maximum

[sharp eagle]

https://youtu.be/teOOilTqzxk?feature=shared

[sharp eagle]

cool cool.. how much u done with ur 10th portion 😭

awh man it kinda reminded me of my board days

ur batch is kinda mad chill about boards

[young umbra]

ive tried waking up earlier in the past and its just futile...my body isnt ready to get up until the last second, so like during college i wake up 20 mins before i have to leave the house, just enough time to not miss my train...any attemps and trying to wake up earlier are extremely short lived

[young umbra]

absolutely nothing- ive never learned how to study for hours on an end and my parents havent been very supportive either, so im not getting any realistic study advice from them...on top of that i recently took a maci test and it showed rlly high stress and anxiety....ive moved out of my parents house and im staying with my grandparents where my uncles helping me study and its going amazing-- i have two prelims left and other than maths ( the prelim im preparing for rn) ive been able to catch up with everything else and actually learnt how to study now

[sharp eagle]

wowww thats tough man. well i believe u cant really change ur habit in a day. try with waking up an hour/30 min earlier than what ur used to waking up.. then slowly reduce it so u wont experience much friction

[young umbra]

whatttttt 😭

[young umbra]

ive tried that in the past but eventually it all falls back so ive realised that the best way to do it is just to wake up at the last second since ill be able to do that and make up for it at night

[young umbra]

the stress and anxiety has definitely reduced since i moved here but im still hella exhausted all the time

[sharp eagle]

oh thats very good hear.. better late than never honestly. tbh even my parents havent really been much supportive. glad u live with ur parents now tho.. and chill out, boards are pretty easy

[sharp eagle]

heheh 😂 ppl in my sschool defo dont care much

[young umbra]

yepyeppp.....ive learnt to go through the past papers to practice and i cant believe ive genuinely never been able to integrate those 😭

[young umbra]

WoW

[graceful relic]

sorry to interrupt, where does jay stream? i thought he would do twich but theres no link in the youtube page

[young umbra]

and here i am panicking about boards- it makes sense tho since its 12th...i can only dream of getting into srcc atp

[young umbra]

i think he streams directly on yt

[sharp eagle]

ohhhh i seee.. hmm thats interesting. yah man id defo suggest creating a habit of waking up a lil early somehow

[young umbra]

yeaa

[sharp eagle]

aahhaa.. wait which stream r u in?

[graceful relic]

ahh i see so he doesnt save them gotcha

[sharp eagle]

oh commerce

[young umbra]

commerce but im regretting everything- hsc has genuinely dumbed me down and im highkey regretting not continuing with icse, even though it was harder i was atleast learning smth and using my brain,,, hsc is just byheartingand its making me scikkkk

[young umbra]

i think he does

[young umbra]

wait howd you know

[sharp eagle]

dawg sammeee

[young umbra]

loll ur doing what now

[sharp eagle]

im in hsc too

im in sci

[young umbra]

i hate it smmm mann

[graceful relic]

aahhh found them ur right my bad

[young umbra]

LUCKYYYY i wish id taken scienceeee

[young umbra]

npp

[sharp eagle]

LMAOO NAAHH

SCI AINT EASY MAN

[young umbra]

no bro i messed up big time- didnt know what i wanted to do, narrowed it down to bsc data science, abhi pata pad raha hai i wont be able to do bsc data science from a good college

[sharp eagle]

EVERYTHING IS LITERALLY MATH EVEN CHEM IS MATH

[young umbra]

THATS GOOOD

[young umbra]

okay i have a love hate realtionshio with maths- like as a subject i love it im just struggling with it rn since i slept or daydreamed for two years

[graceful relic]

people who like math are not trust worthy

[young umbra]

nooooo

[graceful relic]

(from a math student)

[young umbra]

weve very trust worthy hehe

totally wont use your information as data for probability >:))

[sharp eagle]

ohhhhhh man.. there was a kid in our class too who got good % in 10th and his parents forced him to take sci then he kinda failed in 11th then shifted to commerce

[sharp eagle]

legit same.. me cries in liking phy but hating math

[graceful relic]

im actually studying probability is much easier to understand after studying some measure theory ... .... .

[young umbra]

bro i got good in 10th bc of covid and ppl were telling me that whats the point of getting such good grades if i dont take science i shud have listened

[young umbra]

ooo

[graceful relic]

how can you hahafh

the math of physics are probably a nightmare

[sharp eagle]

idkkk man if u aint goot at math it gonna be tough.. but yaa it do be kinda fun sometimesadsfdsjkf

[graceful relic]

u guys are studying the real world

[sharp eagle]

😭 😭

[graceful relic]

we just study fancy imaginary objects

[graceful relic]

actually i dont know at all i dont knwo anything about studying phy

[sharp eagle]

i think math of phy is a bit easier than actual math.. cuz atleast u know what ur doing exactly. unlike in math its kinda all generalised results u just gotta prove it and shi

[sharp eagle]

have fun studying complex no 😭 why was it even invented in the first place

[graceful relic]

dude are you sure about that ....hmmmm isnt kind of a meme to tell phy students to shut up and calculate? ahahah meaning they dont really understand why some steps are legit .....

is a meme thoooo i think phy studenjts are cool too hahah

[sharp eagle]

oh idkk the phy im studying rn isnt exactly very math heavy.. sure theres integration and shi but thats it

[graceful relic]

thats actually very very interesting

[young umbra]

ikkrrr

[graceful relic]

not like i know the answer

but sure shoud be interesting

[young umbra]

oh god i still have to stuudy integration after prelims

[graceful relic]

gotta go good luck !

[sharp eagle]

i thought mathematicians just didnt have more problems to solve so they came up with imaginary no to solve imaginary problems 😭

[young umbra]

BAHAHAHHA

[sharp eagle]

good luckk man

[young umbra]

yeaaa

btw if you dont mind me asking

which college do you go to

[sharp eagle]

oh u mean jr college right?

[young umbra]

mhm yep

[sharp eagle]

i go to cpjc its a dummy clg

st xaviers

[sharp eagle]

ur in maharashata?

oh woww ive heard that name a lot

[young umbra]

yeaa

is cpjc nice

[sharp eagle]

its degraded a lot from before

[young umbra]

i joined it for the name and ended up regretting it so bad oml

[young umbra]

oooo

[sharp eagle]

nigdi branch is kinda trash

moshi is good from what ive heard

[young umbra]

like i kid you not our math sir finished integration in 50 mintues

[young umbra]

oo thats nice

[sharp eagle]

.....

what the fuck

WHAAT

yooo

[young umbra]

YEAH EXACTLY

[sharp eagle]

our sir took like a whole 2 week

[young umbra]

ppl started making memes of "this barbie finished integration in one lecture" with his faceeeee

[sharp eagle]

😭 😭

[young umbra]

were basically an experimental batch being the first commerce jc batch of xaviers, is what weve concluded, bc so far only our english and french teachers are good at both teaching and knowing how to make the class pay attention,,, youd expect so much better from a reputed college but god knows whats going on

oh hey happy 12 good morning

[sharp eagle]

ACTAULLY SAMEEE

[young umbra]

NO WAYY BROOO

ITS LIKE IF TUTIONS WERENT A THING EVERYONE WUD BE FAILING

[sharp eagle]

i was in cps becore ( which is bascially cps but cbse) and we were the second sci batch and the teacher was so trash she would literally teach philosophy instead of chem

like omg its a big story.. i could keep bitching about her whole day

but then i shifted to state board

[sharp eagle]

legiitttt

[young umbra]

OMGGGG THAT SUCKS SO MCUHH 😭

[sharp eagle]

ikkrrr it was hell.. she was so horrible she hated all this jee stuff she wouldnt even let kids study for jee during pt period like dawg wth

[young umbra]

BRo- i literally remember at the start of 11th i was so excited to go to xaviers bc its like a very prestigous college with lots of cultural evemts and fun peopl- and it was amazing at first so i didnt mind the heavy travel- but uske baad i neither got to participate in events, and if i did no one would be taking them seriously, the teachers didnt teach well, i lost all my friends, and upar se travel was intense i legit got so depressed

thank god my boyfriend has kept me grounded otherwise idk what id be rn

[sharp eagle]

omg man i feel so sorry for u

[young umbra]

WHAT THE HECCCCC!!! THATS SO CONTRADICTORYYY

[sharp eagle]

oh ur gay??

[young umbra]

hii everyone, I am yana

[young umbra]

heyoooo

[jagged oyster]

i have been watching James's channel since 2022

[young umbra]

thats cool

[jagged oyster]

i am a drop year student, a very unfortunate story

[young umbra]

oo

[jagged oyster]

and i kinda wanna hop back into studying

[young umbra]

yayyyyy

good for you

thats a big step

[jagged oyster]

it's not like I gave up on studying

but now I just want to have a good and systematic routine

[flat prism]

People who has: phone, tablet AND laptop

Is good? or the tablet feel useless

?

[past violet]

depends on what you'll use it for

a tablet could be good for note taking, especially if you're a student

but if you're just going to use it for media consumption, you're better off not getting one unless you have the money to spare

[flat prism]

Im thinking for drawing

[eternal badger]

If you're serious about it, yes. They're expensive tho. Especially when used only for drawing. Rethink that for a month and if you still want it, buy it. As an alternative, there are like drawing pads for laptops available for much cheaper than an actual tablet

And for everyone else in this chat: if you convo starts to get general, please please change to #general-chat . Messages from people who actually need some help and advice and of those who want to help just get lost and kinda unprioritzed. I do not want to be mean in any kind of way but keep this in mind, please.

[upbeat oak]

hiii. we're looking for people to compile maths questions with solutions. this is a paid-gig. familiarity with competitive examinations in mathematics, or prior experience with IPMAT/JEE/CAT/NDA/GMAT exam is a plus. struggling to find someone who shares the vision we do! message me if you're interested! 👉👈

[gloomy zinc]

???

[lime talon]

If u have suggestions kindly drop it.

[gloomy zinc]

like where are you from

[lime talon]

Nepal

[gloomy zinc]

mechcanical engineering to masters in AI is like day and light difference differeneces in maths and other subjects , Check for universities that offter Masters in AI and just look at the prerequisits they say

[lime talon]

Thanks

[lime talon]

Any other computer related course for mec students to pursue?

[gloomy zinc]

if you some how find yourself in robotics there is a huge potential for both AI and mec stuff so definately look into that if you really want to pivot that would be my advice , i cant think of anything else on top of my head
Note :

these suggestions may or may not work based on the location or specific degree programs always consult some professional in the field at your location for a first hand experience and deeper insight

[lime talon]

Thanks for the advice man

[patent quest]

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone can give me advice(from hs student)

At my home, I used to be able to work so well, however i started studying at the libraries on weekends recently after my home producvity went down

Yet I cant always go, so usually when i get home after school + ECs, I do my daily habits of SAT questions and a workout, and then have around 3 hours to get work done

my productivty during this time is at a all time low, I do shit work and never get into deep study(mind you, ill go to the library for like 10 horus on weekends and crank out awhole study session)

Ive moved everything in my room around, yet it did not have any effect, im wondering if anyone can give me advice on changing your mindset in certain environments

[clear storm]

idk if it's helpful but i like to tell myself to keep going as i work, especially at home. having a dretec study timer is great too!

[patent quest]

yeah i act jus had a idea, since I have 2 mointers, I might make one my "work" and another my "relax", and jus turn one on and off inbtween sessions

[agile nest]

Sat useless apply no testing

[still stone]

lolol the colleges and scholarships i applied for didnt even ask for my sat score

[versed lance]

should i?

[prisma tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-gif-25866395

i have a problem when i finish my study session my body CRAVES dopamine and i just cant stop it

[eternal badger]

I can't think of something rn, but this is a very good question. The only thing that i can think of as the reason for this is understimulation when studying or internal cravings (like hydration, vitamins, food, etc). Give me a sec, I'll try to find an old answer of mine

[eternal badger]

So either this..

[eternal badger]

.. or this one might help and fit your situation.

But I can always recommend having clarity, awareness and purpose in what you do to be able to fully immerse yourself in that task; putting distractions to a different room and trying to find why exactly your problem might've occurred or what exactly it is you are craving (like for social media: is it making you feel pressured to be 'updated and on track' ?). Or sometimes it even might help to intentionally dedicate a certain amount of time for quick dopamine, to put the pressure of guilt away for a moment to get back to studying knowing you've already had it, iykwim

[prisma tundra]

yeah its most likely understimulation cuz ive been watching james streams lately and i set the goal of 12 hrs per day like him but the second i finish the stream i inhale everything in the fridge binge watch youtube search for more food but its a very recent thing past 2 weeks this didnt happen

[hallow remnant]

I wish I could find students to teach them, but there is no normal platforms for that

[young umbra]

hi

can anyone help me with math?

[agile nest]

which math?

[young umbra]

System of linear equations with 3 equations and 3 variables

[whole jungle]

how can I make friends after finishing school?

Im not going to university tho

I had no friends for 2 years and didn't leave the house much

[eternal badger]

I've had that not long ago, could help as well if needed, u can dm me anytime, i'll try to answer asap ||as long as it is at the level i'm familiar with tho-||

[young umbra]

find a hobby like wrestling, arts, music or maybe a book club. Maybe try learning a language because the people there already have mutual interests, which makes it easier. From there on the 'scary' step would be to actually propose to hang out after whichever activity you chose

i find this helpful

[young umbra]

Thank you! I'll send you a DM if you don't mind

[eternal badger]

Sure thing!

[young umbra]

i have sent you a dm

hi, does anyone know how to avoid hearing the sound of people joining a study room?

[past violet]

if you're on a desktop/or laptop then settings > notifications > sounds > user join

[young umbra]

[flat prism]

I have a sleep problem

I usually don't sleep good

Like I go to bed very late

And I tried to go to bed in an early hour

Don't use my phone or laptop that much

I eat good, drink water, I have anxiety meds for a good sleeping

But I wake up after 3 hours and I can't sleep again

[past violet]

how long have you been trying to sleep early?

[past violet]

what about your exercise?

[flat prism]

This week and sometimes early but I didnt have this problem back then

[hazy ether]

Hi Everyone 👋🏻

[flat prism]

I go for a walk, sometimes I skate, clean the house...

[past violet]

oh so it only started recently

hmm maybe there are things that have happened or are happening that might be stressing you out

there’s so many factors that affect sleep tbh

i struggle with it too haha but it’s improved lately

[past violet]

this was the same case for me whenever i’d try sleeping pills my gp recommended

[flat prism]

I was thinking about that... I usually don't remember my dreams but now I remember and is like a real life dream, if u know what I mean, very weird

[flat prism]

Thats nice

I will try too

[past violet]

ohh yeah i get what you mean

if it’s stress then it can affect your sleep more than people might think

[past violet]

i hope it helps you

[flat prism]

I woke up today at 01:30 am, try to sleep, didnt so I played a little too much, is 5:48 am nos and I was thinking to drink coffee

Is it good?

[past violet]

avoid coffee! hahaha

[flat prism]

But like a little, with milk

[past violet]

i personally don’t drink but i can only assume how that’d keep you very awake

[past violet]

sleeping pills?

i tried a couple

[flat prism]

I can't take sleeping pills, I have natural anxiety meds

[past violet]

ohh mb

[flat prism]

Don't worry

Is that bad coffee?

[past violet]

probably yeah haha

[flat prism]

Cause I don't want to sleep during the morning

[past violet]

fair

you end up waking too late then it becomes a never ending cycle (at least for me)

have you tried to see a doctor about this recent sleep problem?

[flat prism]

I was thinking, drink coffee with milk, do my normal routine but not that hard and trying to sleep early again

[past violet]

yes that sounds good

it can help you to reset your sleep

the hard part is keeping it consistent

[flat prism]

No, I don't have any money for that cause here is weird to find any kind of doctor thats not clinical

[flat prism]

Yes, Ty. I'm trying to improve my life cause it makes me happy

[past violet]

aw rip, understandable then

[past violet]

that’s good, keep going! hopefully it’ll become easier for you to sleep over time

sleep can be hard, especially with maintaining consistency so try not to be hard on yourself

[flat prism]

TY I need it cause I want to go to the gym and I only can go in the morning

Tyty, you are very nice, can I add you?

[past violet]

ohh yeah honestly i want to start waking up in the morning but i’m just not an early bird lol

[past violet]

yeah sure go ahead :)

[past violet]

going to the gym will probably (hopefully) help with your sleep

[flat prism]

Ty, we could tell us how we are going and help us, if u don't mind

[past violet]

sorry i’m a bit lost, what do you mean?

[flat prism]

Sorry i don't speak english very well... Like study buddies but with our routines(? Sleeping buddies

[past violet]

ahh! no it’s okay no need to apologise, your english is fine

hmm well i’m not looking for a study buddy rn tbh haha since i’m still on my break but i’ll let you know in the future if you’re still interested

[flat prism]

Ok, don't worry

[past violet]

well good luck with your sleep. i wish you the best :D

[flat prism]

TY good luck for u too

so should i ?

is this considered as help idk

[drowsy hawk]

on average you should be sleeping 7-8h

[grave tiger]

Hey everyone! My name is Daniel, and I am currently a second year student studying Information Technology and Systems, with a cohort focus in Cybersecurity at my university. I am currently applying for internships for the Summer of 2024, and I would like to know y'alls thoughts on my resume

[wild ridge]

NASA is calling

[solid sigil]

😂

I wish man

Unfortunately, I have been sent rejections instead. I have been applying for summer internships as early as Fall 2023

I want to know what I am doing wrong. Do I need to be engaged in my major more? Learn some skills outside my university?

Would like to know y'alls thoughts

[wild ridge]

Your resume looks great for a sophomore

But I noticed it’s lacking in cybersec related things
You are obviously doing well but your resume has to relate to your major/ profession

I’d recommend dedicating an hour or two to applying to different internships everyday

[solid sigil]

That is true

One thing that I do on the side at home is run a homelab

I have 2 dell optiplexes I use to run Windows Server, and Proxmox for Linux VMs and Linux containers

What are some ways I can incorperate more cybersecurity related things as a college student? @wild ridge

Hi yall 🙂 my name is vinny. I am currently a sophomore in uni looking towards a psych degree. It would be amazing if anyone could help me find programs to help me gain experience BEFORE i declare my major.

[quick jewel]

the type of help you are asking for is way too broad. what type of programs are you asking for? are you asking for like a study program or are you asking for internships? also figuring out what specialty you are pursuing is more helpful, that way people can help narrow down what resources would be beneficial for you. depending on what career path you had in mind, you might have to continue towards higher education such as pursuing a masters. i think for right now, you're still trying to figure things out, which is fine, but you're playing a close game considering it's your second year. it's probably best to reach out to your academic advisor that way they can better assist you and suggest no only your lower div classes, but some upper div classes or even programs to better prepare you for your future career. also talking to your classmates is another way to see what possibilities that you have.

Hey guys. I made a system evaluation for our capstone project but its not done yet. Can you take a look?

[young umbra]

Is there any difference between integrated Msc(the one where u do bsc and MSC together) course and BS MS dual degree?

[vivid condor]

what are you trying to do on your pc? play games

[young umbra]

im mainly building one for computer science and cybersecurity studies and some casual gaming

[vivid condor]

it depends on what games you’re trying to play i have a radeon rx580 that’s equivalent to a 1060

your cpu and other stuff play a big part as well but that barely runs fortnite on performance mode at a consistent 120fps for me

[vivid condor]

if you play games that have a little higher graphics then you’d honestly save yourself the time by just buying a good one so you don’t have to worry abt upgrading it

look on offerup there’s always an old guy trying to get rid of one just make sure the person you buy from on there is reliable

[young umbra]

im thinking of pairing i7 14700k and rtx 4060

should help me long time for both study and gaming

do you actually need high end pc for cybersec tho?

[young umbra]

BITS pilani doesn't offer dual degree in maths/physics/chemistry. they offer MSc and PhD

Guys, i feel like I don't deserve to have a good life

So is harder for me to do want I need to do

[sterile rivet]

Why do u feel that

[red charm]

I'm lacking of motivation and focus. I got 4 exams ahead of me in less than 7 days. Any tipps on how to focus better and be more motivated ?

[trim niche]

Guys help. I'm going through this phase where i do not have the courage and end up skipping all the tests lined up for me. What do I Do? Most of the fear comes from a lack of prep, but i keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again

[ripe spoke]

i would recommend you guys searching "Healthy Gamer GG" on Youtube, he really helped me a lot with all the similar frustrations

Hello, server, can you help me? How does is desk called?

[faint mason]

guys i feel soo bad how can i study :<

[somber heart]

please can anyone explain why my code is not working ?

the question :
code gauche(L) which for a list L modifies it (note: you must not create another list, but modify L) by moving its elements in a circular manner one box to the left. Test in tests.py the list L= which becomes L=[2,0,2,1,2,1,-1,-3,-2,-4]. [-4,2,0,2,1,2,1,-1,-3,-2-]

my answer :
def gauche(L):
L=L[1:len(L)]+[L[0]]

[pure pasture]

ok so from my understanding, your code creates a new list in splace of the old one, but the goal is to modify the question's list.

[rare spade]

guys

[pure pasture]

my answer would be ||def gauche(L):
first_element = L.pop(0) # Remove the first element from the list
L.append(first_element) # Append the removed element at the end
somthing like that ||

[rare spade]

what the hell is the general formula for carboxylic acid

[pure pasture]

R-COOH

@rare spade

[rare spade]

OH I WS RIGHT

thanks bro

[pure pasture]

no problemo homie

[clever socket]

if you are into a bad day, the better thing you can do is rest

[pure pasture]

Just rest. Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow is a new day.

[somber heart]

but why this code is not working 😵‍💫

[pure pasture]

uhhhh

idk then

[somber heart]

ok thanks 🙏

[tight garnet]

Anyone studying /studied btech in Bangalore pls dm me ...im in sm reall need of guidance tysm

[eternal badger]

As the others said: rest. Then, with no pressure for perfectionism etcetc, take a sheet of paper and write down what you want to work/study for (becoming someone who does.../is this and this kinda person; doing more of ...; note down everything urgent and important and divide into mini tasks that tell you exactly what to do (like THIS question, etc)) and write down your purpose and WHY for all this. And lastly, feel present and calm, start a playlist/pomodoro and head into one task in front of you. No matter what you do, time will pass so why not use it accordingly. Take things slow and always take care of yourself. 🫂

As someone who is interested in engineering, what is it like ?

[frank galleon]

what tips can you guys give me, i can't concentrate

something like adhd

[young umbra]

im in

[sterile rivet]

There are various types of engineering and they are very different from each other so depends on which one you are interested in

[young umbra]

i am planning to opt philosophy

anyone from philosophy major , is it worth it

[young umbra]

really it depends on what specific major of engineering you're interested in, if you're looking into computer engineering, the college path have a lot of maths and electronics, for me its very fulfilling because of the almost endless possibilities to create products for my own use, rather than a logical and analytical job, its more of a creative job

[low forge]

Does anyone have some tips on self-discipline and time-management? I really want to to do better this 2nd semester & make sure I’m not stressing myself out from doing things last minute

[shut nexus]

im starting to study software engineer in college, any recommendations on what to learn first? concepts? programming languages? anything

[zinc jewel]

You can start with any programming language like C++, Java, Python etc., and understand concepts of a programming language. After some time, you can start developing stuff like watch Leon Noel Software Engineering Bootcamp and get some idea of web dev and then explore different fields and see what you like.

There is also CS50 that you can start with.

[clever socket]

i'd say to programming more than see someone programming, is a lot better to learning a new language or programming itself

[vernal arrow]

I personally would start with plain old C
Python is imo not a good starter language because it hides so much complexity from you.

I would use C to study the very basic concepts (Variables, control flow, functions, function signatures)

Then it really depends on what interests you.
You could study how a variable is stored and learn about memory management or you could go up to a language like java/c#/python to learn more about programming

Imo the most important advice/rule is to avoid just kinda randomly changing your code if it doesnt run correctly.
Especially in the beginning it is important to really understand what is happening; understand the mistake at hand and understand how to fix it.

[bleak surge]

who has a sample resumé here that I can use for our internship?

[clever socket]

i agree with this, start with a low-level language is a lot better than a high-level

[nocturne fossil]

does anyone know where can i get free powerpoint design templates for MIT?

[stray jewel]

Anyone here use linux? As main os?

[young umbra]

I do, ive used pop!os and now im using ubuntu as my main working laptop os

[young umbra]

I would recommend trying out C (programming lang.) and make 3-4 projects with it. I started with Python, but now I prefer with static-type languages, and i would recommend most people to start with either C or Java for programming. Python is good, but you will learn more with C

[patent venture]

yep, use it on my laptop and have a couple servers at the house running freebsd and ubuntu

[sage merlin]

anyone have any experience with UI design?

[sour stream]

Why can't I study

Why do I get distracted so bad
