That moment when you have to let people be wrong about you because correcting them would make you seem like an unbearable show-off

I was at a bookstore with a friend the other day and I was looking at a book in German that I was interested in buying, but then I saw that it was a translation and had originally been written in French

I commented idly to my friend "Sometimes I don't buy a book because it's a translation and I always prefer to read in the original language when possible" and she said in an agreeing-with-me way, "Yeah it would make more sense to read it in English"

and I realized she assumed I meant English when I said "original language"

but I couldn't bring myself to say "Yeah, or French or Dutch or Spanish or Italian or Portuguese or one of the other languages I read..." because like. who says that kind of thing.

me: I have way too much going on, I need a break in which I don't have to think about anything

also me, immediately: for my class TEI exercise I shall choose to encode a page of House of Leaves

just realized that i never mentioned that i know how to code websites and vaguely know how to code in C because i took a class from Harvard, as well as classes at my university

in case you're interested in learning HTML and CSS, my web design class literally gave us these websites to use because it has almost everything:

CSS Tricks - An entire website just for CSS

HTML Tutorial - A webpage about HTML

CSS Tutorial - A webpage about CSS

Markup Validator - Makes sure your code is right

also, i recommend using Visual Studio (if you have Windows) or Visual Studio Code (if you have anything other than Windows, or if you want to do more than just HTML)

I like these fanfics in which Julian Bashir post-canon learns Cardassi (sometimes bc they take his translator away) bc I would never do that in my entire life. Goodluck to him tho. Personally I have spent the most beautiful years of my life resisiting my teacher's attempts to teach me German. The creativity used to avoid knowledge deposited in my head was honestly awe-inspiring. The way I cheated on those weekly vocab quizzes would make aos Spock throw up. Now you could say "hey nick but isn't English your second language too?" to which I can only say. That's obviously different that's the language Star Trek is in. Anyway there is no Star Trek on fucking Cardassia. Why bother

hey you wanna make a game thats so cool. youre using godot? then you'll need to write your code in GDscript! that's like Python, so look up some lessons for that. maybe look into some JavaScript while you're at it. and if you're making a game, why not make a website for it! just takes a little HTML and CSS. oh by the way, that game, you realized you need shaders to do something? awesome, awesome, well you'll need to use GLSL to make those, that's a type of openGL which is kind of like C. by the way this is trigonometry

Hello!! I hope you are doing well. Your art is so freaking amazing 👏 I'm just enjoying my time looking at all of it!!! I did have a question tho-- how did you make your webcomic website? I'm curious of the all the steps you took!

this is going to expose my age and personality, but my website making process has two steps in total

-- get the domain/hosting (mine is over at a finnish hosting site) -- code it

and when i say code i mean like, some real mid 2000s shit when i was 13 years old. straight up barebones html and css. there are many good actual website makers these days, but i am a self-proclaimed control freak nincompoop so to me it has always appeared faster to just 'make it from scratch' to get exactly what i wanted (i owe w3schools.com my everything by now probably). i figured -- worked for me a nigh decade ago why wouldn't it now? its still just a string of links is it not (and while it was A THING to have back in the day, am glad iframes are no longer around). i have upgraded my game with some very rudimentary php since ye olden days, but even that i only use for one of the graphic novels. turns out you can really make updating a website and layouts and stuff easier by making a composite out of multiple files and then updating the parts separately. SO NEAT. i will acknowledge that while i thought of responsiveness in the coding process, it is probably not perfect. this is my blatant mirror marketing, since i personally prefer to read things on bigger screens and it is the headscape the art was made etc etc. as such, i'll just take this opportunity and formally apologize to everyone on mobile if the experience is atrocious at your end. with that said -- thank you for the kind words and the question! they brought much joy and nostalgia to my afternoon <3

If coding existed in minecraft (think fic that is set in minecraft) would it be based on java or would it be a more complex form of redstone?

[dkettchen]

I'm applying to coding bootcamps (in my retraining efforts toward a stable career to fall back on whenever media industry is being an ass (aka their default state)) and this one is making me learn javascript as part of the application process, and I'm like just let me use my snake_case, you monsters ToT

Oh yeah yesterday I went to my C programming professor's office hours to ask about what's being covered in class tomorrow. Since I can't go bc of my PT appointment overlapping with it & I'm apparently the kind of student that cares about attending every single class now.

While I was there, I ended up chatting with him about a few things, including my current standing in the class. He asked what I got on the midterm exam, & I answered it was an 87, and he told me I was one of the top 5 or 6 scores in the Whole Class (this being a like. Maybe 70 or so person class). Top score was a 92 or 93 (idr lol) & the class average was a 72. Apparently there were a few of us in the upper 80s/lower 90s, but most people got 70s or lower. And once he does the curve on the exam, he said I'd probably end up with a 97 or so on the exam. So yay!!!

And then he told me how he's noticed how I come to class every day and am really active with taking notes and answering questions. Bc I also sit up front all the time lmao. Hadn't even realized how much of a damned teacher's pet I've been being, but I've been Trying to be a good student this year. But he said I was the type of student that if I got an 88% or smth in the class, he'd likely bump me up to a 90% so I'd get an A lol. But he also said so long as I keep up with how I have been, I could possibly get a 100% in the class by the end (bc I've been there for all the extra credit questions in class and whatever).

And just. I went there bc I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything important in class on Wednesday, and I ended up having my ego stroked for Real. Felt good to have my efforts be recognized.

I don't actually know from sure but I was on a video call with our new IT manager dude and he was showing me a chatgpt transcript (and narrating the whole thing like I couldn't just. read it) and look I could be wrong but it sure looked like he had a history entry where he was trying to find out about the GDPR compliance of a product we use. from chatgpt
