Delay

I'm done for next year. Why? In school I have to choose between whether I want to take music or art classes in the next year. Since I am missing about five years of music (went to a different school) I've been advised by my teacher not to take music classes. This means I'm forced to take art.

@GRS Non-native English speaker here: I don't get it.

I was drawing nothing, I thought I shoudl give an update about something we talked about about one month ago, in the form of another complaint. In that way it was more rhetoric.

I'm still in my depressive "I can't draw" phase. I love psychology, but sometimes it's just a pain. Looks like "I'll just have to wait it out" didn't work as well as it usually does. Now what?

Yes.

I think I figured it out. At least I can't see any undesired behavior after going through the edge case "size 2" with pseudocode.

I'm talking about the late-sort situation, many recursions in. After the first few runs on a size n array, you eventually find yourself in a situation where the pivot is one out of just a few items in the scope of that recursion. That size is 2: One item that will be picked as the pivot and the other one which is either smaller or bigger (simplification, == is treated as <). After than the recursion stops and the stack can slowly recover from what it just had to go through.

QuickSort is messing with my head! I think I have a method for getting it to work, but I have no idea how it'll behave for the smallest array size that needs to be sorted (2). 0 and 1 are already sorted, but how does it work with one pivot and just one other element?

They a bit taller now than they were initially. So they're not really identical are they?

Just this entire playlist!

Seems to have fixed itself. At least I'm no longer getting logged out. I did accidentally stop the site from loading before it first happened, so I might have "confused" the server.

Logging into the forums results in a "Sorry, you don't have permission" for me. Any ideas? I'm logged in now (duh), but as soon as I click on "Forums" it logs me out again.

That looks pretty good to me!

IT'S ALL THE TIME!

Just burn retrograde to bring your relative velocity close to zero once you arrive where you want to arrive. The trajectory to get there looks exactly the same for all lagrange points, you "just" have to aim somewhere else.

It's essentially a slightly dumber form of Insertion sort. You step backwards and forwards a lot. Here's what I wrote (it's only the actual part that sorts, not the setup and swap(), which is a simple three-line function): while(current_position < array_length){ if(array[current_position] < array[current_position - 1]){ swap(current_position); if(current_position != 1) current_position--; } else{ current_position++; }

To get more acquainted with arrays in C I decided to make some basic sorting algorithms. So far I coded two of them: Bubble and Gnome sort. They're the easiest ones to do, next on the list is either Insertion or Selection. Not sure which one is more difficult, it seems like Insertion is close to Gnome, but [0] seems slightly more difficult to manage. I don't know how C treats negative indices...

Not just Earth, the Moon is too! It's a torusverse!

The barycentric one is good for that, as it rotates with the orbitting object. 60° ahead of the Mun, for instance, will always be 60° ahead. Something like "Reference frame fixing the Mun, Kerbin and the line between them".

I'm already quite a bit behind in class, both in vocabulary and speaking (as well as hearing, and apparently a real conversation would be even faster than 1,000 words/Planck time). I'm constantly looking up some word in the dictionary, sometimes every single word that comprises a sentence. Conjugating, semi-ironically, works fine. The structure of my sentences is also okay I'd say. Not necessarily right, but not as wrong as possible. As for actually traveling to Spain and talking; that won't be possible for some (very long) time. For one, I have Social Anxiety Disorder which - while having gotten better - is still capable of rendering me entirely speechless, especially when speaking a foreign language where I'm not sure of grammar or pronunciation, let alone vocabulary. And additionally, as for so many things: Money.

Would anyone be willing to help me with Spanish? At some point I just stopped getting things in class, which made doing homework adequately kind of impossible. I'm only perhaps writing a sentence here and there, essentially blindly writing down words in the hopes they are correct. I have no one but myself to blame for this, though. Keyword here is "laziness", unfortunately. Another factor is that I'm not exposed to the language outside of the lessons and have no opportunity to (try to) speak/write/use it in my free time.

I'm not denying that Python can have its uses. As discussed it's a pretty common language and must be doing something right. For other things - I'd even argue for most - however, it turns out that Python sucks.

I learnt the basics of Python before being forced to learn C (remember the entire signal transmission problem from a few months ago?). I had a small conversation with @IncongruousGoat where he said he didn't like Python. I didn't understand it at the time. Now I certainly do.

This. Entirely. Currently just 10 minutes in (skipping all "cop pursuit" songs, don't really like them), but I'm sure the rest are just as good as the ones I heard so far!
