Now i remember we also had to specify what isobutyl (technically just 1 isobutyl exists (not counting stereoisomers), and other form would be tertbutyl). But giving highest priority and minimising sum were definitely something we were taught.

I was free enough to look it up this time - IUPAC guidelines for organic chem - https://iupac.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Organic-Brief-Guide-brochure_v1.1_June2021.pdf (or more generally https://iupac.org/what-we-do/nomenclature/brief-guides/)

Section 7 ( c ) Lowest locant(s) for principal characteristic group(s)

Although I also remember just as we completed our unit on nomenclature, all we got was "common names", now i was supposed to know of the top of my head what a cumene is (which I think is isopropyl benzene (not going to check this one)). Same thing happened with polymers, we were taught IUPAC, and then again, "industrial names"

actually we start numbering by minimising the number of highest order addition, which is the isobutyl, if it gets same number regardless, then we try to minimise the sum of numbers, so i think it should be called

5-(isobutyl)-5,6,6,7,8-penta-ethyl-8-methyl-decane (I am assuming hydrogen's are present, just not represented, because that usually is the case)

I may alo be wrong here, it has been 4 years since I have been required to do nomenclature myself

it is not really "code" - it is a fancy shell script stringing a launcher like thing (if you have seen people use dmenu or rofi to launch applications and make menus, it is just that, but repurposed to do more). I just realised i forgot to add link the article (the said write up in the original comment) https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html. Since then I have made many changes, and here is the script

Although I was actually considering a rust rewrite, because I am learning it, and 150ms is way to long for me

I made a launcher inspired initially by kde's krunner, tries to do everything with a launcher, keeps the keyboard shortcuts to minimum, but having almost everything within a few keystrokes. Most things are os/de/wm agnostic. Since the write up, I have added a bluetooth device selector, network connections, vpns, and more stuff.

edit: sorry I forgot to add the link - https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html#how-does-this-work

not a economist, but no, it does not help (at least not really in short term, in very long it does pay okay-ish (depends on what kind of debt is it, but it can help keep ties with other nations intact))

ecc can only help prevent (or fix) errors, what to do about lack of memory. that brings me back to, what was the question again

[–] sga@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

extremely bad, but it depend on what things, like i can't remember what was my last meal or something, but i can remember "stem" (can't think of a better word here) fairly.

Most people have already written the most things, being passionate and explaining well, but for me it is - I do not interact much, if I dont have anything new to add, I usually don't, If I got interested enough to comment, then I must have something to speak on it, and if no one else has (I first search for other comments, If I find same stuff, I just upvote their comment and move on) then I am past a threshold where I can write something long.

Maybe I dont count, but I was a reddit mild lurker, I would check something like r/memes every week, and also r/linux with similar frequency, and learnt about lemmy close to reddit API stuff, and made a lemmy account sometime after

I agree, those are just 2 examples of people doing fact finding, idea is someone will post something, and other lemmings will do what people in the video did

 

Original idea for this community came from @kibiz0r@midwest.social who in comments of this post gave ideas for many new communities.

This community also serves as a "Do the Maths" community or " explainer"

Currently the community is very small so the fact finding may be slow, perhaps as it grows it can be fast fact finding ninja

 

This video was a scrapped part of research for the actual video The Tale of Tiffany, but it goes through Grey's research work of trying to find source of poem, and when was it first written.

spoilerDoes not go that well

This is an article I wrote. Sorry mods if it is not allowed I checked the sidebar rules, and closest was no ads, and I do not know if this qualifies for that (I do not have ads or analytics on the page)

Edit - Thanks to @utopiah@lemmy.ml for recommendations. I have now Included an image and a video demo of using the script, and also got syntax highlighting

https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html

Edit 2 - I have chnaged my keys for password, so dont worry about that, and about low quality and stuttering video playback, that was just network being poor at that time, also i forgot to give a demo of calculator and web searching, forgive me for that, and if you want, instead of term-dmenu, you can use fzf directly, and you would not leave terminal
