Exercise helps, try getting into a gym routine or taking up a sport. Eating healthily can never hurt so it might be worth a shot changing diet habits.

Didn't work. Got a gym membership and was doing that every day while eating healthy. I can't escape reality or what seems to the permanent altered physiology of my brain, which healthy eating or exercise. Great suggestions but they just weren't enough for me. Could keep trying but I need something stronger. I think my brain might be permanently damaged from the PTSD.

>>8741407
You could experiment with taking psychdelics. Smoking weed 24/7 lessens the fucks you give overall but frys your brain to some extend. Or you could start abusing benzodiazepines. Otherwise standard therapy methods would be to talk with your therapist about the stuff that makes you anxious. Another alternative would be to shock yourself through your anxiety piece by piece. Whatever makes you anxious try to let it make you anxious and if you withstand that reward yourself and go back wherever you feel safe and go into baseline feelings. There is still a lot you can try.

Oh god what the fuck is going on in that script

>major

I'm a grad student. I've been required to use Fortran in a computational physics course. In order of computational power required I use bash -> python -> Fortran.

Knowing basic bash scripting is essential if you want to be effective working on a computer. After that, python. I would recommend C over Fortran.

>comp sci
Languages mandated by courses were python and java for first year courses.
For upper courses C was mandatory for compiler design, VHDL for hardware design (although I'm considering moving it towards chisel when I take over the course) and lastly the obscure dataflow language Oz for a programming languages course. Oz is an amazing language for education, but the syntax is asinine.

Personally I write pretty much all my software in functional scala, I'd really recommend those new to CS to learn how to use emacs (spacemacs) on GNU/linux, as well as some WM tool like i3 for running multiple monitors. Scala is highly recommended, but I had to learn it all by myself and it was difficult so don't expect to do all your coding in it. With scala I can create a backend and a frontend in the same language, and I can even write hardware through chisel. It's like node.js but instead of being pants on head retarded and utter shit it's turbo-autistic and doesn't break all the time.

Also learn git, I personally prefer magit (emacs) and learn emacs org for note-keeping and keeping track of stuff.

pic related, read this book and realize you're not hot shit after all

and I thought procrastination is bad...

>>8741325
I don't understand, do you gain comprehension from just reading the material? How simple is the mathematics in question? If you can't process the problems you can't pass (most) exams. So many questions.

Also, if it's your passion, you could at least have the decency to not put something into the millionth power. Nothing in reality is in the millionth power. Do you know what an order of magnitude is?

2950 kelvin is pretty hot, second turning a room into a trash compactor for cooling is nuts

>>8741246
The idea is to make a "portable" cooling unit that wouldn't need a duct to the outside. This thing would likely weigh 1000 pounds, but it would achieve that.

Math general (>>>8728665) is practically computer science general at this point.
It even has the obligatory smug animu girls.

Wew

they *could* use the same amount of water
unless you're one of those assholes who likes to take hour-long showers

>>8740335
Standing up would use less water, but you're missing the point.
The reason people like baths is because they like to lay down and relax for an hour.

There are tree categories: X, Y and Z
X is a subgroup of Y and Z.
Since Y is also a subgroup of Z it has to sit in the back of the bus with X where it belongs.

go read Conceptual Mathematics and stop bothering people with your apathetic requests

Category theory isn't meant to be studied by the uninitiated mathematician. It is almost wholly without interest to one who has little to no familiarity with the topics it sets out to describe and generalize.

It has some artistic merit. Sadly, some architects start to think too highly of themselves and forget that, first and foremost, a building's main purpose is functionality.

Over here in the Netherlands, the national museum of natural history (Naturalis) is in a shitty position due to the architect crying about "muh art is getting ruined". Why? Because one of their older buildings, designed by him, is getting a minor change: one of the floors is getting changed so there is no longer a big hole looking down to the ground levels (can't think of what it's called, but you get the idea). The building is now getting repurposed as an archive, which is why they want to get more space in the building by actually making the floor a proper floor.

Now the architect is throwing a bitchfit because his "art" is getting ruined. The judge ruled that the architect is in the right (as according to law).
To add insult to injury, the building has to be the most generic shit I have ever seen. Pic related.

Architecture may be considered art, but it's function first and art second.

>>8739801

it's a long process to get fully RIBA qualified in the UK at least. I think it involves a bit of all of those plus some law related stuff. It's more art than anything else though.

>>8739852
Good architecture is both functional and beautiful. Architecture that emphasizes solely the former is mediocre and demeaning to the human spirit, and structures that focus on the latter are frivolous and wasteful.

Well, neuroplasticity is mostly occuring in the hippocampus and in relationship to forming memories, as far as I can tell, and it does decline with age, but if you're even just average you can definitely learn and understand a lot if you put in the effort (which you should)

Intelligence is 85% inherited, the other 15% can be altered due to neuroplasticity.

Dependant on where you are, it is a meme in the United Kingdom.

you should try to sit down with some doctors and see what they are like.

dentistry is hard work
surgery is rewarding

i would say work in whatever pays the most, so specialize towards that.

If I had to choose I would be an emt. First responder is the most interesting but least financially rewarding job you can do. Society isn't structured to properly reward our police fire and rescue, so don't put your family through that shit and stick to something safe and boring like podiatrist, GP, pharmacist, depending on your IQ and ability obviously.

>falling for the cloud cities on venus meme

No access to minerals means no ability to supply nutrients to any plants nor produce any metallic or refractory products.

A Venus """colony""" would amount to nothing more than a complete dead-end, with no chance of it ever gaining any sort of self-motivated industry nor independence from Earth.

Also, the atmosphere at 50km above Venus (which is where the ambient temperature is equal to Earth sea level) is at around 70 degrees CELSIUS, not fahrenheit. Venus habitats would need active refrigeration to prevent people from being scalded by the ambient temperature, and refrigeration is much more energy intensive than heat.

If you fall off a Venetian city, what would kill you first, the shock from falling, the rising temperature as you fall, the rising pressure, or the impact?

>>8730169
You'd pass out before you knew you died, but I'd say the pressure.

Do everything exactly the same except don't slack off for the first year and a half of high school so I don't stress as much junior year, the end result wouldn't change at all but it sure would bring less stress down the line.
