Inconsolata, worked pretty well for me. BTW I find it weird a thread about fonts / setup in general without pictures! Pics or fake!

For tilling I tried awesome, dwm and i3. i3 hits the spot for me, good defaults, intuitive, readable code, everything I wanted

Well, I can somewhat relate with your situation (at least as my younger self). Allow me to share how problematic is the above quote of your answer in my humble point of view: So, doing nothing implies you have to do something and in your case that implies doing something you are not "good at"...

I didn't and I guess I would be pretty happy if I did. When I think about why, it was because: (1) I did not have a suitable environment for studying (I discovered this when I started living alone and made one) (2) I felt more challenged playing online games (3) Didn't have clear...

As the title says: Are you a professional musician? And if so can you make a decent living? Just curious

If you are into challenges, do a project, something that you want or need, less useful but good nonetheless: copy something. Some ideas: If you are into movies: - A movie suggestion engine: Get data from IMDB, then input your favorite movies and movies you watched, fetch related movies...

Suggest learning and why? Here's my biased view, about some common programming languages. Different languages that will teach you different things. It's a really really long journey: 1. Python/Ruby 2. Java / C# 3. Clojure / Haskell / OCaml 4. C 5. Assembly Easiest to be useful and...

As a tool python is quite flexible. Depends on your goal. If you wanna learn syntax I recommend doing a simple web-project or some programming challenges to get comfortable with its types and built-in libraries. For problem solving: I recommend CodeForces and CS academy you'll learn to use...

If I understood the problem correctly, it's quite disappointing since the pictures are pretty much irrelevant. (I wanted something visual / geometric!) Simplest solution is: brute-force all 10! (less than 4m) permutations. Which is easy for a modern computer (not surprising since the problem...

I choose computer programming instead of medicine, so I could be free (got money fast enough to leave comfortably by myself). Dropped out of college tho, courses were mostly interesting but not really my thing going to class and working at the same time. Been working professionally for about...

Problem 459 - https://projecteuler.net/problem=459 Looks really interesting too, since it's about "perfect playing" a game with simple rules. I like this type of problem.

I thought about problem 67: https://projecteuler.net/problem=67. I lost a lot of time thinking (like 2 hours or so) I had to do something smart (dunno like a magic matrix multiplication or some closed-formula solution), but it was as simple as starting from bottom to top. My first solution...

Hmm, save the file and execute it, there's no problem (I am using Python 3). And the output answer is correct. ___ The "i" is "moving ahead" and there's no need use a range or a for-loop or anything like that. because path_sum is a recursive function. The "i" is one of the function...

It's no bother, but explain in detail what? The used python built-ins? How to read input? Or the whole solution? If it's about the solution, you can forget about reading input. And hard-code the input values:

Oh, I guess the input reading was quite weird. I apologize for that from sys import stdin tokens = map(int, stdin.read().split()) last_row = next(tokens) numbers = list(tokens) The above code reads from STDIN until end-of-file, it also ignores newline characters and...

Not sure if I understood your reply... The answer is correct (it was accepted by the site). You could use a multidimensional array, but it unnecessary. Take the sample output: 3 7 4 2 4 6 8 5 9 3 It becomes the following list: [3,7,4,2,4,6,8,5,9,3] Knowing the row...

This one is trivial, a simple brute force solution is enough. Here is mine: https://pastebin.com/W8qveutv . No surprises, read all numbers into a list, and accumulated the values (max(left_path, right_path) for number at the top) The other one is more challenging...

This one: Maximum path sum I - https://projecteuler.net/problem=18?

This is precisely what most of my Mac / Apple lovers friends say about their OS: "it just works" (for their purposes) plus "It's beautiful" (God no, please BSD's IP stack is beautiful not Mac UI). Not surprising most of them doesn't know what is POSIX and that their "Mac OS" is not a linux.

I've seen in History Channel (not sure, though) something about eating the brain's out of your enemies out of their skull. That's awsome :D

Apparently people found me really arrogant in the past. And after they knew me they opinion changed, which is weird because I find my self pretty egocentric and arrogant. It never bothered me though, because at that time I didn't pay attention to other people. (see? Maybe I was arrogant then...

I wouldn't have a problem tasting it or eating it if needed. (whole survival thing. Sounds stupid not eating eating if that is the only mean to survive and such...) Now, if I'd taste it out of curiosity. Hmmmmm... I dunno maybe, just maybe, if some opportunity arises which I can't think of...

Wow, I wrote quite a bit. I doubt anyone's going to bother reading my whole rambling. But it was nice writing anyway :D ___ Lately, I've been feeling something similar to your "need of people". I too find comfort in people and lately I've been looking for it. Which NEVER happened in the...

Being introverted was a huge problem for me in the past. I guess I was too imature. After all, being thrown in a extraverted dominated environment from a completely introverted one (parents and siblings quite the radical introverts too) at a young age had quite the unpleasant consequences for...

I got a familiar feeling not too long ago. And after putting some thought on it, I tried to dig deeper in people. Needless to say I was really disappointed many times, but I was really succesful too in getting some interest and bonding with some people. The thing I found that was most hard...

You scored 31.5 out of a total of 44. Kinda liked this test, I've wondered about many of the things put there, but for some, especially those at the beginning I was forced to put harder thought in it.

Well, I've always thought that meditating was something like cleaning 'useless' things that were up in your mind. And, in fact, it is much easier to do something more efficiently if that is the only thing you have to bother. So looking in a random situation pragmatically I'd say that...

Too bothersome to count. I'd say 7-9 from 14, maybe? Besides computer hardware stuff, which I actually despise, I found the list pretty interesting... Srsly, Fantasy Sports WTF?

I have been recently presented to Sibelius and I really the lyrical and cold feeling of it. Ginette Neveu Sibelius Tzigane is one of my all time favorites, it has such a powerful effect in me. I always feel like diving into the complexities of the non-sensical nature of an abstract...

It really doesn't matter the 'thingness' of things, since what is important is satisfying the need to attach to some'thing'. And IMO this need to attach to something is inevitable. Well, it's pretty weird, but according to what I've put before you really could befriend things, and that includes...

My definition of frienship I suppose people have to interact with other... (If I remember correctly Nietzsche said something like: "One has not the right to be alone", BTW that is a crappy translation of mine from a crappy portuguese translation of one of his books which I don't remember the...

I have always thought that the matter of making decisions in games was quite delicate. You see, if there is only one path, or at least one correct path things become pretty boring. But it's quite hard to decide or to see when there's one correct path: If you want to be bad, then you'll...

F*c* I've never structured things this way. For me friends would be what Adymus called close friends and I have a difficult even in maintaining those. In other words I didn't even bother with conditional friends, because putting the way Adymus have already put, it is in fact some shallow...

Interesting quiz. Your Aspie score: 106 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 96 of 200 You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

Sounds interesting. This made me laugh. That's pretty much it. I do not fancy those incompetent programmers that (not exactly that, but I feel this way:) rely too much on the language, this doesn't mean that good programmers are masochists who enjoy doing things the hard way, or...

Hmmm... Although I've already thought about how become a world leader and what my plans for humanity would be, I've never thought about a castle or a place like this. I've always thought that, I wouldn't be able to spend much time in a single place. As a despot it seems pretty silly (just a...

I knew it :angel01:

I have not ever been sure that I should be put as an INTP... This kinda of makes me sad, since I really, really enjoy lurking around here. I've read somewhere sometime ago that some random person considered herself as an E that developed as an I, well, I second that, so that would make me an...

Now that I have not too many free-time for games, it's kinda of rare for me to spend like 20 hours playing something straight, but it happens when I got the chance (Now I am on school's vacation :D). Thing is that now it happens, it worn me out (It never did before), so I need some kinda of...

It would be too much hassle to put them in an order... Welcome to NHK! Berserk Cowboy Bebop Clannad (I was too young when I watched Air, so I am not sure which one is better) Mononoke Hime (My favorite movie so far) Grave of Fireflies (Everything from Ghibli is high quality, this one...

I have been changing lately and I am not sure if this will help you or not... Anyway, what happened to me was that I got interested in people (I had no interest in them before). This might look a simple thing to do, but it is not this is happening slowly, really slowly, because even...

Not sure, but I think that the things I put in bold are not well seen for many in the scientific world... Especially with the vitamins, etc, it is a matter of dosage, now comparing with weed does the substances responsible for the benefits, cool effects or something like that are, well...

In fact your guesses were pretty accurate o.o Truth I am horrible with virtual identities, thus I borrowed the name of a creature of portuguese literature: Adamastor. Its description IMHO is pretty close to slimy old man or troll of junklands... Anyway, the avatar is from a big bad giant who...

I always got the impression that I kinda of "put my defenses off" (with may be some kinda of crying's inertia) and cried, this has always bothered me, because even though this works decently, it always feel like I am but a imitation of a human, a creature that did it naturally or, at most...

Even though there a few differences, your story is pretty similar to mine. I always got the impression that I was isolated from my colleagues, I was an uber perfectionist and feared making mistakes because I believed that I would be "happy" if there were no points to people tackle on, in...

O.O I know what you mean. Personally, I believe that forums are interesting to discuss because, differently from a formal debate, discussion, well, there is less formality, and you can spill a lot of rubbish, which may be productive, that is a good thing. Unfortunately, I got the...

Did you guys read Isaac Asimov's The last question? There are some things that are just fascinating in this text, though I got the impression that he was way too optimistic for my liking... The thing is the concept of being human will get blurrier as far as I understand it, I am still rather...

I always thought about it this way: In fact these whole thing of doing to the other what you are wouldn't want someone else to do it with you is irrelevant. The thing you should not get on the the bad side of everyone you meet because of the simple fact that you are a pathetic human, which...

HaHa, not sure if you understood what they really are, but it is quite interesting to think about it. IMHO, it is a matter of reducing the number of unused photons: I would put quantum-dots inside the nanotube, so when incoming photons shinned on the nanotube they would generated the...

Personally, I believe that mathematical thinking helps you to develop substancial quality in your writing, since it helps you to make yourself clear, this does not implies, for instance, that you are some kind of poet or anything like that... It is curious though, how mathematics have a pretty...
