Sometimes, even if I don't understand, I will like posts where someone is explaining an advanced concept in a subject that I am interested. I like the posts anyway because I am confident that as I continue to follow my hobbies and seek knowledge, one day I will understand.

Are you a 夜猫子? 😴🌙 夜猫子 (yè māo zi) literally means “night cat,” but in daily Chinese, it means night owl — someone who stays up late or feels more active at night. Example: 我是夜猫子，晚上才有精神。 (Wǒ shì yè māo zi, wǎnshang cái yǒu jīngshén.) I’m a night owl. I only feel energetic at night. So… are you a 夜猫子? 🌙

Started math on Duolingo for fun. geometry is a weak subject, but I didnt realize just how weak. thought Math couldn't humble me further. I swear I've never heard of a "heptagon". Have they invented new shapes in the past 20 years since I was in elementary school? Insane lol

An introduction to AND, OR, and NOT gates, the fundamental building blocks of all digital decision-making in electronics with the Byte Sized engineer! 🧑‍🏫

We know time is a finite resource. How do you stop yourself from spending "too much" time on theory and not enough time on practice and application? Especially when you genuinely enjoy reading the theory. I need to better balance my studies. . .

Microdosing hell by being aware and literate

"Ittekimasu" doesn't mean goodbye in Japanese. If anything, it means the opposite. The word is made of two verbs: "itte" (go) and "kimasu" (come). So when a Japanese person says it on the way out the door, they're not saying farewell. They're saying "I'm going, and I'll be back." The reply, "itterasshai," works the same way. It means "go, and come back." Two short promises. One leaving, one waiting. People don't think about this every morning, of course. It's just something you say. But the structure is still there, baked into the word. Every ittekimasu has a small promise inside it: I'll be back. Every itterasshai has a small request: please come back. English doesn't really have an equivalent. "See you later" is the closest, but it doesn't promise anything. It just hopes. So every morning in Japan, in millions of homes, people exchange tiny contracts before walking out the door. One person leaves. Another waits. And both expect to meet again at the end of the day. It's not really a goodbye. It's a small, daily promise that today won't be the last time.

Learn how to clearly distinguish and write the katakana characters シ / ツ and ソ / ン youtu.be/ojNnNU4mnNE #katakana

flip-flops and logic gates are where computation starts. not ai. not python. not react. not operating systems. just voltage. high voltage → 1 low voltage → 0 that’s it. logic gates are the decision makers. and gate → both inputs must be 1 or gate → one input must be 1 not gate → flips 1 into 0, 0 into 1 xor gate → true only when inputs are different from these stupidly simple blocks, you get: → adders → multiplexers → alu → registers → memory → cpus → gpus → basically the entire digital world but gates alone are not enough. logic gates compute. flip-flops remember. that one distinction is the whole game. a logic gate says: “given these inputs, what should the output be right now?” a flip-flop says: “store this bit and hold it until the next clock edge.” that’s memory. one flip-flop → 1 bit 8 flip-flops → 1 byte 32 flip-flops → one 32-bit register millions/billions → real machines this is where circuits stop being dumb wires and start becoming systems. combinational logic: input → logic gates → output sequential logic: input previous state clock → next state that “previous state” is everything. without flip-flops: → no counters → no registers → no instruction cycles → no finite state machines → no processors → no computers software people think computation starts at code. hardware people know it starts at state. code becomes instructions. instructions become control signals. control signals move bits. bits sit inside registers. registers are built from flip-flops. operations happen through logic gates. every app, every website, every model, every game, every “ai agent” eventually collapses into this: gates deciding. flip-flops remembering. clock ticking. learn digital logic once and computers stop feeling like magic. they become machines.

Everytime someone speak japanese to me: "Gomen, nihongo wo bu zhi dao"

"気になる" vs "気になってる" in Japanese romance: 気になる = curious, noticing. 気になってる = ongoing pull, you're stuck in my head. The て-form pushes it from passing thought to present feeling.

Over 80% of Chinese characters are pictophonetic — meaning one part tells you the meaning (the radical), and the other part gives you a massive clue to the pronunciation. Put this into practice with real, level-graded news stories today. Link in bio.

I spent over an hour trying to figure out why I kept getting an error trying to run my simple code. I finally broke down and asked AI to tell me what was wrong. It was all due to a small typo. That made me wish I had just stuck it out a little longer & figured it out myself. 😂

Duolingo says both "boleto" and "entrada" both mean "ticket" in Spanish. Are there any nuances as far as when to use one or the other?
