@Anilla Sounds like you are a C coder by passion xP
@AJ Love is in the air... you know xP
Not much. just a usual day. wbu?
Trying to find a flat currently, as my trial period is soon over and it seems like they gonna keep me. So yeah, need to prepare my final relocation.... viewed 10 flats so far.... none of the landlords decided for me and the one I could have had came out to be a deal breaker since it has just a 6K Kbs connection share over a 8 parts household.... meh
Had not thought its so hard to get a flat in the area around SAP >.<
@dhein aww man. My cover's been blown! xD C is my favorite language, I won't lie. The endless optimizations and close native interface... Whew lol. If you're an over-optimizer AVOID writing in a hex code with OPT codes from a manufacture's assembly reference sheet...
@Anilla I worked once as a embedded developer. Reeding the Register manual and seeing how the chip reacts for each bit being set.... that was nice x) But debugging was quite frustrating, till I realized, that the IDE's variable watcher triggered the "on read" event in every step for the watched variables xD Was a bit weak for a 5 digit euro license per year, of an IDE specifically for embedded development ^^
But yeh I get you :P
Oh you said you are from medical background? It was a respiration device the start up I was working for worked on :)
@dhein This isn's fair xD ya'll are working on two of my favorite things (medicine and computers). I don't know too much about embedded systems, but I tried severely optimizing a lil arduino board I got... since C was too heavy when compiled for me.
@dhein I'm not quite sure what I mean tbh. I just remember I was able to optimize my instructions better than AVR-GCC did for the Arduino. I squeezed a few more clock cycles and lightened the profile of the program itself. QA? What type of products/services are you assuring?
Yeah, but thats kinda plausible if you consider how most people find to the SE entwork. I'd bet most of them ended here, cause they had a programming issue, googled for solutions, found their problem on stackoverflow, after repeating this for a few times they join the community and end up finding out there are other plattforms aswell.
@dhein That's likely what it is. I knew about StackOverflow for awhile, but never realized how large and diverse the community was till I stumbled upon IPS.I've slowly found that I absolutely hate front-end development. I miss my comfy little heartless server environment. :(
@dhein Yea, I'm just a novice (full-stack, kinda) developer. The application I'm building for my school requires a front-end to interface with the research database so I have to make that pretty enough... before I can hug Redis again >_<
@dhein I'm actually not involved with any sort of software/CS classes. But! Since I'm able (enough) to implement these types of systems, I was given the opportunity by a student medical department to create an application to better analyze records and store information.
It's proven quite challenging, but it's helping me learn a lot! :D
@avazula: Btw, having been able to fix my self esteem troubles, makes me now.... Well.... before I was someone very self confident with a lack of self esteem.... now having a healthy portion of self esteem, I feel like getting overconfident in my self x'D
@avazula Maybe. But even if that's not it, I find nothing bad about it, as long I stay aware of being overconfident and act accordingly if required, I find nothing bad about it yet. And honestly.... the last 1.5 weeks were awesome so far. I had no anxietys at all, not to mention any attacks. I am waking up every morning and am happy about my life. Its such a wonderful change :)
@avazula Well, I think so. I was very frustrated with my self and desperate how to fix that. But now I found a way and it was live changing. Gonna see how it works in the long run, but if it keeps this way, I might have found just to my self x)
@CaptainBohemian Huh, well. How you get that finding? I haven't seen here anyone saying it as direct as I just did in my last message ^^
Lately I feel like all the people I meet (may it be new people, people I have not seen in years, people in the gym or at work) only get and stay acquaintances to mine. I don't have a huge friend group and would enjoy forming new friendships, going out more with people, etc.
What is the key of tu...
Well, the data dumps are, if I'm understanding correctly, static - there's a new dump every now and then, while SEDE is updated every week. So the old dumps might have posts that, by now, have been deleted.
I'm not sure what I thought I read, or more importantly, why I thought that. I can't remove my downvote without an edit. Apologies. — bruglesco2 mins ago
@avazula Do you mean that it's always Ælis in some part of the world? Because it's currently not Noon in France (even if Noon is, indeed, in France) :p
@Ælis ooh, that's smart too. No, I wanted to say "good AElis" instead of good afternoon, because it's the afternoon here, and that you used to come by the name of Noon. But I failed my joke :p
May I ask for you to take a look at this answer from the workplace? I really like it (it's backed up with personal experience!) but I'm hesitating to accept it (since I don't know if this will work for me, since I didn't try yet) but I would still like it to be at the top of the list. So, you know, vote if you like it ^^
I sent a message to my manager saying that I won't be able to be there for the company meal next week (monday) and he responded with "ho, ben alors" which I don't know how to translate from French (@ava might know?) and I'm also unable to understand it's meaning in French since it's a written message without any voice indication... ><
@Jasper I follow no one rules! :P (I watch a lot of American show so, even though we learn the English of England in France, I tend to use some American words instead of the English version of them, unless my spelling checker correct me)
@Jasper I have a strong preference for "0", same number repeated several time "777" or a suite of number "1234"
My manager just asked me if I could free myself for the company meal on Monday. I said it would be difficult and then propose to him to talk about this on Monday (since he will be physically at the office). So now everything is set and I will have to tell him on Monday that I'm on the autism spectrum, that I'm currently waiting for the "handicap worker recognition", that I have tiredness issues and that this is why I won't be able to join on Monday. I hope everything will go well #*fingercross*
How long have you been together? How serious is the relationship? You said you've mostly been texting thus far, which sounds to me as if maybe your relationship is newish
How do I find out if they care? Text them and see if they get mad? Probably too late to have a broader discussion with them about such things right now.
i skimmed it and it talks a bit about brain science, shows statistics of what people are attracted to, how to have good sex, how to do pick up lines haha
Yeah, I have a checklist of 19 things for my current work task. There were a lot of things to add and it was getting difficult to keep track of them all mentally.
@TheTinyMan "My watch keeps messing up the time, is it that 'cog-awesome' you were talking about last time that's broken again? Or was it 'cog-cool?'" "Nah, your issue is definitely incognito this time." <- the best I can do
Oh just make all the older kids bully the younger kids and the teachers not care about the students at all. Isn't that how YA fantasy novels are supposed to work? /s
And even some schools (including one I went to) have/had a different ordering of classes each day. As in, some class would be in the "A" period and that period would be at different times throughout the week.
@Mithrandir I'm not entirely sure. I've seen people who edit my questions specifically target my semicolons. Perhaps overusing is to the point where someone doesn't understand the transition from one part to another?
Also, when I've made edits with a semicolon ('cause it would fit in perfectly), people seem to not enjoy it too much. I guess it formalizes their question too much?
I don't write formally too often; that's basically limited to SE meta posts at the moment. I did just start a (fiction) writing project, though - I had a stroke of inspiration and wanted to jump on it ;)
I've taken proofreading and editing jobs in the past a couple times (I'd like to do more, but not many folks are willing to hire teenagers).
My current project starts like this:
> Bailey Green chewed on her lip, nervously curling a lock of hair around her finger. Butterflies were migrating in her stomach, making her wonder if she was going to throw up. It’ll be fine, she told her stomach. Her stomach didn’t care.
@Mithrandir That sounds pretty neat. Keep me updated if you'd like! I love following writing developments lol. @ElizB, hey! any interesting teas today? :o
@ElizB huh, I'd say so! XD I've never heard of the mushroom tea before... that sounds far too exotic for my American taste hahaha... Where'd you get it?
@Anilla at a farmers market- this company sells mushrooms and makes tea and various spices and stuff from them Mariaville Mushroom Men
I've met Allison personally and she's the sweetest person
I know that it helps market the mushrooms but seriously the mushrooms are amazing. I have now in my fridge sauteed cinnamon caps, pioppinos, and shittake mushrooms that are delicious
@Anilla The tea has a mild, earthy flavor that is something like green tea but sweeter... hard to describe. I have one cup (6oz) a day, and it's supposed to help with focus and brain function plus the antioxidants and good stuff in it is pretty good for immune system and stress relief
and I've done my research and it seems valid, despite being under-studied
I also have Chaga tea which is another type of mushroom but I quickly discovered that it's got a pretty good diuretic effect.... and I drank well above 10 oz in a big mug
@El'endiaStarman ahh that's fair. I find myself drinking tea (or any beverage really) just to add a bit of kick to my work. Helps me focus and keeps my ADHD in check xD
@ElizB that does sound weird. Maybe I should try it sometime. I'm in a bit of a strange spot since ADHD medications only give me anxiety and actually don't really help me focus. Perhaps tea is the way to go lol
most medication made me lose appetite and I'm on the edge of being called underweight because of my low BMI
I think I have some kind of fast metabolism thing going on where I don't store as much fat no matter what I eat, I know I am grateful for it but it means I need to watch my weight so it doesn't dip under 100
25 years old, 5'3, and I think I'm at 110-115 now
so that's pretty close to underweight :P
@Anilla I tried it for 3 weeks. First week was better but the rest was crap.
@ElizB Yea, the medications can really ruin an appetite. I think I have a high metabolism too... so I really need to watch my weight. I'm not too keen on being so thin, makes me insecure lol

@ElizB Ah, that must be nice since it's all cloud based. I was slightly irritated at my computer calendar for receiving the "Valentine's Day tomorrow" notification lol. It's like macOS wanted to rub in that I'm single haha. @Mithrandir look at you! Good job!
