The Post Your Thoughts of the Moment Thread 2

What do these even mean.

When you sign up for a website, often they assign you a default avatar or something (the facebook silhouette for instance). If a sizable number of people don't change from this avatar, it can become more difficult to discern who's talking in a chat or really anything similar that has to do with lists. The solution then is to give each person a "unique" avatar when they show up. That's an identicon. The user id is used to generate an default avatar that fits a general style, but still identifies an individual. Technically they're not unique, but collision is so infrequent that it isn't that important.

GitHub uses identicons, and you've probably seen them around. In fact, I've only really encountered two styles of identicons. GitHub-style is the most common, and the original ones exist, but aren't in use really. I had use for round identicons, so I made a program to generate them.

I want to talk a bit of some stuff happening in my life:

Windows 10! I can't believe it's so different and so same. It makes a lot of sense in the idea that the system explains a lot of things in a very simple and everyday language. But it is still very confusing and hard to orientate in, to conclude it all - hard to adapt to; - it feels more like I moved to another house or another country rather than just "buying a new computer, crazy what effort this has taken.

Finale Version 25: Fuck Finale authorization!! Why is it so hard making your Finale "legit" and "to work"!? The installation and all was really clean, smooth and fine. But now, the update code doesn't work, and in my previous version the authorization code didn't work. I'll have to call (or more likely... e-mail) the music company to ask them to help me with this issue... (I also got the program in Swedish, which if I recall right, isn't what I ordered - I wanted the English one). And that is... kind of ok. It might be better for me that way if I want to study music at, like, a university level or "public school/folk-university" as it is called here in Sweden. As the teachings will probably be based around more Swedish-oriented vocabulary on things like "Stor Ters" instead of "Major Third" etc. But the fact that it is in Swedish will make it more difficult here on the forums, and helping other people and that sort of stuff, as it is in a different language. I'm also a bit confused finding all the tools in Finale, because it is in a different language. But I think I'll keep as it is, I have no time and energy to deal with music company, it was troublesome just getting the product delivered, it was delayed for like 2 weeks! But I'll obviously need a correct update code. Otherwise it feels really good, pretty much the same thing except small differences such as - runs a bit faster/smoother, sounds A LOT better (Piano sounds).

Lot to do at work now ...apparently. It's not that it feels "weird" or like "there's something wrong going on", it's just a ton of stuff to do, and especially in the export section (in the return section, it is actually very little to do, almost to little). But it feels good that the winter is over and that spring is coming, gives me more "life" and joy to fill my "working spirit"!

Does anyone have any good recommendations of resources to use when studying in High School/lower-level college Science? I'm wanting to make sure I go to state this year. And take the other two science testers in my school with me.

I'm not sure... all I do is Marching Band, Jazz Band, All-State auditions, Honor Band auditions, Solo and Ensemble competitions, Drama, Large Group Speech, and that's it. I don't do much else.

[E. Gadd Industries]

You say that like it's hardly anything.

[Zunawe]

That's an incredibly vague question.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Well, I'm looking for generally any science thing. Here, I'll edit it to make it a lil bit more specific.

Uhhhhh...the  I n t e r n e t?

Maybe look for books at libraries. I think the internet is better suited for studying "computer science" and related topics. If you're interested in other science areas you might want to look at book stores, but maybe look at the internet for book stores and for the books you're interested in. But I mean there are good websites for studying sciences and taking small courses, for free, on the internet (as dudeman talked about), if you're interested in that.
