Doing nothing implies just physically nothing though. If you have a fun brain there are a lot of things you can do. It’s specifically useful while traveling long distances

You have a functioning brain right? You don’t need smartphone to get thinking.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

My wife does this a lot and says it’s a girl thing :( Is it? I don’t believe in that.

Something could replace it easily if they tried to use the open standards and decentralized system like email has. But tech companies have gone too greedy, they won’t make anything that works with other tech companies. Every one of them are trying to pull users to themselves. Now we have people with account in 5 different websites to communicate with different people instead.

It is sad how far the technology has come. It’d allow so much improvements in quality of life and yet it’ll all being used to extract more money, making life shittier.

While coding maybe not. But when it works and does what you want, the feeling is great

Good to know, thank you. I only know them anecdotally as it’s used to say “just because someone fails some exam don’t discredit their intelligence”.

Hope you find something that makes your life easier. I am about to graduate, and I’m already discouraged about finding a job as most jobs nowadays don’t have direct impact.

People knew. Then everything started being “i need people to work in my factory/office doing the same thing again and again” and everyone had to be the same.

Edit: Think of all the advancement in science from people that were not “normal”, now they’d have just failed basic school and never had any chances to do academia. I think Einstein failed history and other subjects in a college entrance but excelled in physics and math.

That’s what I think about so many home/traditional cure. Maybe it works for those people due to placebo effect, and I’ve lost that magic because I’m too critical of everything.

When workers die, you no longer have labor. When scientists die you no longer have their intelligence.

On this topic it’s also good at finding you a acronym full form that can spell out a specific thing you want. Like you want your software to spell your name/some fun world but actually have full form related to what it does , AI can be useful.

It also has a team mode when you walk around with your friends, it gives different tasks to different people in the group. Haven’t used it myself but I’ve been thinking of trying that with my clubs.

I feel like YouTube one can lead into another. Because it’s hard to get people to follow you in GitHub. But having another platform where you can advertise your programs means a lot. Even if you write something useful people are not going to discover you without something else doing the outreach.

I use emacs, and it can change font size and font face similar to the font color during syntax highlights. Like in markdown or LaTeX headings are larger font, math formula have their system where superscript and subscript have higher/lower baseline. In org mode it can even convert the whole latex snippet into formula and display as image, or show inline images. And in rust it has type hints and other information overlayed along side the code you wrote, it even adds little buttons on tests you can click to run them.

So I think what you want can probably be made easily if you have a solid grasp of what you want. Emacs is basically extensible using a programming language (elisp) so technically there’s nothing you can’t do logic wise, there might be some limitations on displaying things though.

You could always write your own program that runs before the compiler. Simple character replace for those unicodes to ascii

So IDE with syntax highlights? Those blocks things are also pretty much shown in most IDE, what do you use to code?

I even have prettifying turned on so the keywords like in, lambda, etc are prettified.

Talking about Australia.

Yeah, I was surprised with how much the education cost was, but it seems to high mostly for foreigners so that’s understandable. But it’s still cheaper than US tuition cost.

From my superficial research going there on work/study visa seems easier. Then you can decide whether to return or not later based on how things go. What do you think is the benefit of applying for permanent residency from the beginning? That seems a bit risky for me without knowing the culture and other aspects of living there.
