yeah, that’s called bondage

I agree - it’s so busy that trying to learn from that just will lead to more confusion. The only thing this is good for is for showing the variety of organic chemistry, and it doesn’t even do a good job at it.

This does not ring a bell at all - It makes sense to look at it this way around, might have helped back then. But when i remember how old my professor was back then, and looking at how “new” the concept is, i’m pretty sure that he didn’t think too fondly of such newfangled stuff.

It didn’t help that the module had originally 5 hours per week, which was cut down to 3 hours without reducing the material to learn, resulting in a very old-timey approach to the whole module, since there wasn’t much time at all. I learnt most of it audiotaping the lessons while copying what was written on the blackboard, and actually learned it at home.

Eta: I was very proud of my B+ back then, which squarely placed me in the best percentile - like i said, 2/3 were failing grades. I’m pretty sure i still can reproduce stuff like Beta-Oxidation reactions with a bit of time, and it’s been 10 years since i actually used this stuff.

You’re right, that’s absolutely necessary to learn, to take the language metapher further it’s like learning to declinate verbs. I meant it really clicked for me when i started to get a feeling for charge distribution and how electronegativity of specific ligands changes it, especially to predict what will happen in cases where more than one reaction is possible.

at least thermodynamics follow pretty static rules, that module was only an issue for me because it was a seminar where we had to work in groups, which i suck at.

I realized that organic chenistry you have to study until you get a feeling for how charge is distributed along a molecule to identify where and how it can react with other molecules, and what intermediarys (real or imagined) are formed, which boils down to learning as many reactions as possible. it’s a bit like learning a language with fucked up grammar.

omg i’m getting flashbacks from my org chem course. The exam regulary failed about 2/3 of students, i needed 3 attempts to pass, and i studied like stupid for it (the second attempt was sooo close to a passing grade, i was really annoyed at that).

It takes 5-10 reloads to get an page from IMDB lol

Damn, that cat has a long half life

Yeah there is one project for wayland which creates a virtual input device and hooks into the hotkey system in kde plasma, but it’s jank af and adding more than one macro bugs out.

It doesn’t seem too complicated tho, might be a good beginner project for updating my 25 year old coding skills.

I’m the same with Roccat / now Turtle Beach. It’s not even their policies, but their hardware is easy to repair yourself if its a small fix, and i hadn’t any device die on me yet in the last 10 years where it wasn’t selfinflicted a.k.a drown the Keyboard in half a liter of soda - the second time; sadly the liquid reached the rgb-ic which shorted so hard that it melted before i could do anything.

Their driver support for linux could be better tho (have to switch to the windows VM and use USB passthrough to configure). has anyone a recommendation for gaming keyboard/mice which support macros and multiple layers under linux?

They could invest the cash and try to secure funding this way; that would be a more sustainable path than just handing out the cash, but probably need a lot more cash as starter to sustain operations at the current level.

Only bat-shaped gummies, i’m afraid.

Krapfen are the traditional snack in the time called “Fasching”/Shrovetide, which starts on 11.11. on 11:11am, and lasts until “Faschingsdienstag”/Shrove Tuesday.

In Austria this is a “Krapfen” and they taste great!

This sounds nice - when i’m done with getting my life back in order i’m gonna start selfhosting for real, and this goes onto the “to implement”-pile! (i just realized that the pile is getting pretty large)
