Counting down until the new year: 17 days to go!

Today was. I don't know whether it was productive or unproductive. I started studying the amazing beginner's guide to git by @moose-mousse and now it's not longer intimidating! But then guests arrived and all my plans of studying psych notes and python went down the drain lolll. I need to complete them along with tomorrow's tasks ugh

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ computer specs explained - processors ˖ ݁݁ 𖥔.

shopping for a laptop (or determining what your laptop can do) can be confusing. even as a computer science major, it took me a long time to get familiar with all of it! in this series, i'm breaking down each term, number, and specification, so you can determine what's best for you.

if you have more specific questions, my askbox is open, or feel free to send me a DM. let's talk processors!

what does the processor do?

the processor (also called the CPU) is the brain of a computer. it executes all the instructions needed to run applications. your internet browser, video editing software, games, and messaging apps are all managed by your processor. the code that makes them run is sent to your processor piece by piece, and the processor executes all of them simultaneously. it's the most important part of your computer!

what do the numbers mean?

two things determine how well your processor will perform: number of cores and clock speed. these numbers are often thrown all together when talking about the processor: e.g., "AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 2.0GHz Processor". AMD is the brand, Ryzen 7 7730U is the specific model, and 2.0GHz is the clock speed.

the number of cores determines how many of those individual instructions the computer can run at once. in other words, it's how much "brain space" your processor has. more cores means your computer can run more complicated programs.

each core may have 1 or 2 threads, which divide the core into pieces to run smaller programs more efficiently. a complicated program may need multiple threads or multiple cores, but simple programs can fit onto a single thread of a single core.

the clock speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz), which you may recognize as a frequency measurement. without getting too much into how processors work, the clock speed indicates how quickly your computer can execute instructions. it has to do with how quickly electrical pulses are sent through the CPU.

most CPUs have at least 4 cores and a clock speed of around 2.0GHz. modern Intel brand processors have two types of core: higher clock speed "P-cores" (for performance), and lower clock speed "E-cores" (for efficiency). in this case, the important number of cores to look at are the P-cores; more E-cores will just mean your machine is better at multi-tasking.

rowan recommends...

...as much processor as you'll realistically use. don't spend a lot on a powerful processor if you only surf the web, and don't try to cut corners if you like to play games or use video editing software.

there are two major CPU manufacturers: Intel and AMD. i've only personally used Intel CPUs, but most people won't notice the difference between an Intel and an AMD. if you're choosing between two similarly priced processors, choose the one with a higher clock speed.

for surfing the web, word processors, and small apps like Discord or Spotify: an Intel i3/AMD Ryzen 3 is perfectly fine.

for simple programming, music production, or games like Minecraft or Stardew Valley: choose an Intel i5/AMD Ryzen 5 with a clock speed of at least 2.0GHz.

for video editing, rendering, 3D modeling, complex programming, or high-performance games: an Intel i7 or i9, or an AMD Ryzen 7, with as high of a clock speed as you can afford.

thanks for reading and good luck! again, if you have specific questions, feel free to ask a question or DM. :3

Is your GitHub profile page lacking that personal touch?

It hit me recently that my own GitHub profile was pretty plain – it didn't reflect my personality, skills, or who I am.

Now, how you can give your GitHub profile that much-needed makeover:

Start by creating a new repository.

Name it exactly the same as your username.

GitHub will throw up a message indicating that this repository is special and will serve as your profile representation.

Add in a README file and get creative with customizations.

Here is a website that generates a readme file for you

So... Skull project

SOMEONE scavenged the SD card from my Raspberry pie 1 ( Most likely... me ) so going to pick up a new one of those. They are cheap though.

In the meantime, I will start data collection... can I just run the RGB LEDs straight from the Raspberry Pie's pins or do I have to get clever about it...

Also how many pins with how many different functionalities do I have here... Data data, I cannot make bricks without clay

question for website building nerds:

is there a website builder that you can physically design, then convert into html/css code?

the only way i know how to describe it is one that is visually understandable. (the only example i can think of is like carrd but it doesn’t HAVE to be like that just simple like it?? idk)

i want to make my own website (neocites), but it’s hard to do with the disabilities i have. i can design just fine in terms of visual shit, it’s the code that fucks me up. it triggers stress, brain fog, pain, etc.

sorry if this sounds stupid, i’m new at this. don’t tell me any “oh just take the time to learn it” i don’t have the memory power for that.

Check-in for 01/28/24

It's been a while since I did one of these. Time to remedy that!

I've been doing well in my assignments, but due to some registration issues at the start of the semester I was unable to sign up for any web development or programming classes :< It's nice to take a break, but I'm really worried about getting stagnant in those skills, and maybe even losing what I've learned over time.

This is where a couple of new projects come in: A blorbo database and a tool for drawing pokemon from memory. These things are going to keep me avoid stagnancy and help me develop my web dev and Python programming skills, and I'm real excited to talk about them.

First up, let's talk about that tool for drawing pokemon from memory. I love drawing pokemon from memory, but it's a bit of a struggle to find tools online that work well for a solo experience when you're doing this challenge alone. So I made a program in PyGame to solve this problem, and I've actually already completed it! It was a great learning experience when it came to getting a taste of APIs, and PokeAPI really helped me do all the heavy lifting with it. I also ended up using ChatGPT to help me understand how to phrase my questions and the things I needed to research. This is the end result:

If you click "Get Random Pokemon", the program will provide a pokemon's name. The point of it is to draw the pokemon as best as you remember it, and then click "Show Pokemon Image" to see how you did. You will then have the option to get a new random pokemon, which clears the image from the window.

There's a lot of stuff I don't understand about how the program works--- APIs evade my understanding, and Tkinter is a dark art beyond my comprehension. But I was able to make a program that solved a genuine problem for me for the first time, and that's super exciting to me!

Now, for web development--- long story short, I'm making a website dedicated to cataloguing my OCs that's very much inspired by tumblr user @snekkerdoodles's personal site on neocities, which I regularly stare at in an effort to motivate myself to make cool things like it (everyone reading this should check his page out IMMEDIATELY and tell him how cool it is). Here's the screenshots of the WIP I'm chipping away at right now:

I don't have much to say about it, as the interesting stuff will really be the content of the pages, and I still have yet to finish the template page I'll be filling with my OCs' information. However, I can say that I'm very upset with the lack of proper teaching that took place in the first (and currently only) college web dev class I've taken. I spent an entire semester doing my own research to learn everything they were supposed to be teaching us. I'm still very peeved about that.

To summarize this very rambling post I'm too sleepy to edit properly, I'm making a digital blorbo encyclopedia, and I finished making a little desktop app thingy, which means I need to summon a new programming project. I'm tempted to make it a video game... maybe I should turn back to that visual novel idea I had ages ago and boot up RenPy!

[skull-shore]

after a week of studying i've completed my first course about HTML!! so far i've learnt the basic facts and syntax about html, like <!DOCTYPE html>, <html> and <body> on top of any html document you build:)

Forms were the most interesting part to me of that course, it makes the website way more interactive and it's so much fun to play around with it.

My next step is to learn more about CSS and designing the website to my liking. I'm excited!

Pink Tags Extension

Wednesday 16th August 2023

Oh my goodness, I've been hopping from one project to another (out of boredom of course) ~ anyhoo, here is a mini project I made for myself so I can keep track of the tags I use for my posts!

It's not done but I stopped working on it around midnight last night so I can sleep but so far I'm happy. Just getting the functions down then I will go in and figure out the design later! I started some of the design but I got focused on the functionality of the extension!

Note: That's all for now! Have a nice day and study some coding?!

[studentbyday]

so help me god i will brave the boredom of (re-)learning R syntax through codecademy with my forest timer 🙏🏻

plan for the last few days of 2023:

physio ✅

laundry ✅

read moral philosophy article ✅

set up vscode for local work ✅

learn git and save portfolio to my own repo ✅ (btw, does anyone know whether you get to have access to the me50 repo years after you've finished cs50? would be nice to get to keep my work...)

forest stopwatch w/ learn R course ✅ (there's still quite a ways to go 😪 but at least i'm learning...i think... i'll probably still have to look up a bunch of things in the docs whenever i finally do my first project 😅)

slowly read 1 journal article on said lab's research ✅

write cover letter for a lab i want to work in ✅

🏁 do the quicker, high-priority tasks as fast as you can to get 'em outta the way!

--- 30 days of productivity • COLLAB CHALLENGE WITH @studaxy • Day 1/30 ---

💛 Axy's study time: 3h

💙 Iris's study time: 2h

Aaaaaaand we're back!! Collab challenge part 3 babyyyyy !! I really need the motivation, I'm slacking off so much xD

Today i prepared a little for my exam on Monday, and also filmed a reel for my studygram. But I couldn't study much because I ended up having a tic attack 👍 life is sad

Let's hope tomorrow is better!

A webgame I'm trying to get up and running!

(This game is for ppl that are 18+) bfrally.vercel.app

Currently looking for people who want to sign up while the site is still being made to mess around and let me know if they find any problems.

BF⭐️Rally

(short for Boyfriend Rally)

A collectable site where you gather and trade virtual boyfriends. Create a profile, talk with other players and show off who your favorites are!

=========

Hi! I've been working on this webgame for two months so far and it's super early days but I've been making decent progress. So I want to start putting it out there to find people who might be interested in something like this. Mainly so I can have people to talk to about it haha, but also so I can have an easier time getting feedback when I need it.

I'd say the game is supposed to have a similar setup like neopets or chicken smoothie but with cute guys instead of pets! And also with a very self insert-y vibe (or OCs if you're not into that).

My current goal is to get the site running with the basics first:

- User Profiles

- Boyfriend Collecting (You get a few each "month", month is in quotations since I probably wont be consistent at first cause I'll be busy with coding)

- and Forums

But there's way more stuff I wanna add in the future like:

- customizable player avatars

- trading

- affection levels and unlockable romantic interactions and possible short stories in a visual novel format

- mini games, gifts and an idle options to help with raising affection so people dont have to log in everyday

- possible bf dress up abilities, (though I'm still trying to figure out if this is feasible lol)

- setting up scenes with player avatars and a bf or bfs that can be saved as an image (kind of like a photobooth or dollhouse)

So yea, it a lot but this is definitely a long term passion project with no time limit so I'll be able to slowly add them over time.

Anyways check out my blog if you're interested, I mostly post art and me rambling about technical stuff 🫡

[codingquill]

👋 Hey there, I'm Nawal.

I'm a 21-year-old software engineering college girl with a deep passion for coding and computer science. I love hardware just as much as I love software. Throughout my journey, I have delved into a variety of programming languages including C, C++, HTML, CSS, CSS frameworks, Java, JavaScript, and even a bit of Python. Each language has been a unique adventure, and I'm excited to share my experiences with you.

I haven't had the opportunity to get as creative as I want yet, but this blog will serve as my motivation to explore new ideas and showcase my skills.

Humble Beginnings

Hello to all the wonderful people reading this as well as future me, I actually managed to study a bit today! The mental block I had is weakening! My brain can absorb knowledge yet again! Lo-Fi was the secret ingredient all along! That's too many sentences that end with exclamation marks, but it's appropriate because it shows how happy I am that things are going kinda smoothly. I started the free Android Basics with Compose course available on the official android thingy, and I managed to learn the basics of Kotlin.

It's so weird to me because this didn't cover loops of any kind, and the syntax feels very weird (I'm very used to semicolons and this doesn't have them at all which makes me both happy and sad at the same time) I'll try to finish this entire course without getting sidetracked, which seems like an impossible task.

Speaking of impossible tasks, after progressing a bit more, I'm beginning to understand the magic phrases in Android Studio and how to manipulate them! Look at my new masterpiece!

...Yeah the only thing that I did was change some text from the code that auto-generates when you make a new project and add a background color and some padding, but it feels a lot less daunting now to continue learning.

I also spent way too long to try to make an ASCII wizard person in the comments at the top of the code... , _/ |_ {'|

It also snowed a lot today, which made me happy :) I just stared out the window for quite a while, it feels mesmerizing to watch all that snow fall, and the city looked beautiful this morning with the blanket of untouched snow covering it.

I'm happy with the progress today, it isn't a lot, but it's something, and that's enough for me. If all goes as planned, you'll hear from me tomorrow as well. cya! :D
