I am into making the world a better place through data science/engineering and design.
The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.
That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.
Woww I had a CD-ROM of Lemmings and I always felt so sad for the lil guys. Thank you for sharing that link!
These otters are so cute I looked up flights to Singapore and realized I can’t afford it and now I’m googling otter pics
wwwwwwwwwwwwwhAT’RE YOU DOING HERE STUART?!
I’d rather increase my monthly donation to support lemm.ee on GitHub than see ads here
cashier cat is not having it today :|
here’s to everlasting lemmy.ee tingles 🍻
I’ve never knitted but this is beautiful! How long does this typically take to produce?
Same here, we can build this community the old fashioned way by just sharing and engaging ❤️
Same - I regularly use vim on servers when I have to, but I can only remember some super basic commands. Most of my coding is done in a basic text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ or an IDE.
I do get the appeal of becoming fluent in Vim or emacs and theoretically attaining giant productivity gains. Although for me at least, text editing is not where all my time is wasted. I lose my productivity the old fashioned way: attending unnecessary meetings and wasting time solving the wrong problems.
I have an Arduino Uno I bought a long time ago and I never actually got around to doing anything with it.
I’d like to do something for home automation if I could find the time!
What about you?
omg Dean Fogg! 🧙♂️ Welcome to Lemmy
This is great 😂
I am down to talk about anything honestly - but just off the top of my head right now:
Can you think of a good analogy to explain databases to complete beginners?
The ole ‘filing cabinet’ analogy is used a lot but I am looking for something fresh. The students will be epidemiologists / public health people that are very science literate but not necessarily tech-savvy.
Same exact experience for me. It hasn’t been too difficult to pick up the Lemmy basics. I only ever lurked on Reddit and here on Lemmy I’m trying to be more of an active participant.
The Jerboa app not working due to the lemm.ee server not being upgraded to v18 was confusing at first - but then I found the conversations going on and I understand why we haven’t upgraded yet. I’m patiently just using the lemm.ee website directly.
Go scream at the top of your lungs somewhere loud like a busy highway overpass. Weirdly works!
Similar situation here - working in data and struggling to turn off the thoughts! I’m going to try meditation too.
Thank you for sharing this! I haven’t used Arrow tooo much but I have been running into lots of performance issues with CSVs and Pandas which is leading me into experimenting with Arrow / Polars. Never hurts to read up on the documentation & I assume I’ll be using Arrow a lot more in the future.
