Oh, I had meant to ask you. Do you find using archive.ubuntu.com, rather than a mirror, to be slow? It's always super-slow for me. (I'm in the US and us.archive.ubuntu.com is way faster for me.)

for me its one of the top ten servers and im sitting in germany

checked with netselect last time on 17.04

sadly neurodebian hasnt provided the netselect package for 17.10

4+ GOUS mhmm what i could do with this :)

Well i could try to get the 30th ackermanns number

or calculate gigantic mandelbrot sets in realtime

@Videonauth lol

You laugh, my last mandelbrot set i calculated on this machine took almost 5 days and needed 8 GB Ram and 24 GB swap to get finished and after that it was about 12 GB as data file

Just laughing because I'm impressed you could think of some exotic things to do with 4 CPUs off the top of your head, but I didn't realise they were things you might actually do :)

@Videonauth That's a lot of swapping! :)

I love maths even if i was horrible at it in school

and i love programming

@zanna ah btw programming, i have a nice thing for you as you are starting in python

@Videonauth oh yes?

@Zanna projecteuler.net

Thanks :)

You can also solve the Project Euler challenges on hackerrank.com/contests/projecteuler/challenges.

That is a collection of programming tasks, where it is about to find the solution for math problems

I'm sure they are all much too hard for me, but I will look :)

after you finsihed a challenge on project-euler, you get access to the forum posts where people posted their solutions

start with the small numbered challenges

they get harder as you progress through

its all about to abstract questions into programm code

like for example calculating if a number is a prime

That's really fun... I think I learned an old Russian technique for that

Going to read for a while, back later

do that, i just tool a pill and will head into the sheets now

after two days awake i see myself getting cranky somehow
