@Tinkeringbell Why not, apparently (according to SE) that is responsible conduct worthy of attention?
(I am joking right now, just letting out some frustration)
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Get angry! demand that life take those lemons back! ask to speak to life's manager! have your engineers invent a combustible lemon to burn life's house down! make life rue the day it gave you lemons!
@Magisch If you want to be completely salty, you could make a question on MSE asking for the preferred way of bringing things to SE's attention, and then self answer pointing to twitter
@avazula Well then, I will make sure that you see it often :D Also, everytime I saw your drawing I smile and think "I don't deserve it" so, I think we are equal :P (I have printed tree version of it and I'm gonna pinded one in my room)
@Noon ahh I just realized it's already in the starred list. I should've known to look there first, Avazula's stuff always gets starred (for good reason!) :p
So I am in a band consisting of 5 people, 2 guitarists, drummer, bassist and a vocalist (might be worth mentioning both guitarists are brothers and only tend to see each other at practice). Due to the style of music we play we pretty much need everyone there to practice.
we meet up twice a week ...
@scohe001 I don't know... I never felt otherwise, so :p
But I'm starting to realize I should pursue. I used to draw everyday from, like, 3 to 19 y.o., then I stopped during my studies and now I feel stupid and talentless when I draw ("I lost all my skills" and stuff) but I realize how good it makes me feel just to draw so, I should go on :)
@avazula well I hope you know that compared to my rendition of Noon with what looks like something closer to a dysfunctional palm tree, yours looks incredible:
@scohe001 I use to draw whole stories with stick figures. No I don't use them that often anymore but my drawing still is still very minimalist (most of the time it's on purpuse)
@avazula Well, I would absolutly love that but even if you don't want to draw for my stories, if you want to read some of them, I can share them with you
@Noon daaaaang that's super creative! I love the lights attached to the town/rock on the right. I can just imagine it fully colored and shaded--that would look amazing.
@avazula Well, as we say "great mind think alike" :D Also, when I say that I draw stories, It's usualy just on big scene with simplistic character but with a lot of things going on which forme some kind of stories (so not realy a comic)
Also, the rest of the drawing are coming in!
Well, it's too heavy, I have to do something about that first ><
@scohe001 It's a shame that you can't see the 4k version though :/ The man beneath the tree is a representation of loneliness and how you are not really lonely when you are lost in your thought
@scohe001 The shark mermaid is more about non-sense. The "Antre de la Folie" part is about the door that beneath
@scohe001 Ahah :P Also, the girl "walking away" (she actually isn't) is my little sister, I draw her like the "little Red Riding Hood". For the math equation, well, let's say that I was doing a lot of math at the time and that I didn't alway enjoy doing it :P
@scohe001 Thank you :D And, in my opinion, the nice part about drawing is that you can see whatever you want in it. You don't have to respect "what the autor means"
i just arrived home from counseling with my dad and it went alright. there were definitely underlying feelings of stuff and he made some assumptions I attempted to tackle but we basically have some semblance of groundwork going forward
like i'm happy but my dad still feels like I need the most work, not him... he won't take the suggestion of doing counseling now... he said he's gone to enough counseling in the past
what he needs is family counseling and i feel like he still has work to do but it makes sense. If i do it once a month thats fine but thats all i'm willing to do... for now.
i also am proud of myself for mentioning that how he treats other people affects me too
I have more insight that he is the "instant scapegoat" in everyone's mind
where he's not... he just feels like he is because there is alot of shame in writing up divorce papers...
@scohe001 That's funny. My main language is Python and I think that has actually made me stumble a bit with R. I think Python has a somewhat more sensible, um, "style"?
so either you have S3 classes ( which is what most stuff in R is)
which you make like so: class(object) <- "whatever"
contratulations, you just made an object of class whatever
and then there is a bunch of generic functions that you can make specific, like summary, print, plot, by defining a function called summary.whatever, print.whatever, plot.whatever, etc
And then there are S4 classes, which are much more alike other language's OOP classes, but sooooooooo ugly to write: cyclismo.org/tutorial/R/s4Classes.html
from what I can tell from that tutorial, the setGeneric makes it so that all methods with the same signature from any classes share a declaration, and have an implementation specific to their class
it's because the methods aren't invoked like object.method(args), but rather method(object, args), and then inside the function call is dispatched to the correct method
That's actually how Python does it behind the scenes; they just made the former syntax effectively an alias for the latter.
One of the things that irked me about R when I was helping ElizB was that given some table foo, you can get a column with foo['bar'] but it's not really a vector, and also x = 'bar'; foo[x] doesn't work so you have to do foo[[x]], which does return a vector IIRC.
honestly though, for dataframe stuff, I use the data.table package, it has a slightly different syntax, but it allows for stuff like foo[, bar] to get the vector, or foo[, .(bar)] to get the column in a single column table.
another nice trick is the drop argument in []. By default it is true, which means that if you slice a matrix or array to something that can be of lower dimensionality, it'll downgrade it. but if you set it to false, it'll keep all dimensions
so m[, 1, drop = TRUE] produces a length N vector, while m[, 1, drop = FALSE] gives a 1xN matrix
I am currently learning Python (3), having mostly experience with R as main programming language. While in R for-loops have mostly the same functionality as in Python, I was taught to avoid using it for big operations and instead use apply, which is more efficient.
My question is: how efficient ...
@avazula it's really good!! Especially if you don't even know the language yourself. My SO speaks and reads mandarin and they laugh at me when I try to copy what they write. I guess it's part of your artistic skill
But it wasn't like this before. Until very recently, id just torture myself with these constant "that's terrible! Why even bother trying? This hand is way too big" and so on...
But now, idk, I'm just having a good time. The voice stopped for a while so, I'm enjoying this silence while it lasts :v
@scohe001 aaw, that's very nice of you, thanks! :) I'm having quite a hard time in my life right now, I'm glad I can at least draw without having to judge myself.
