Hello all. I'm new to the fediverse. Had to bug out of the FB environment. I'm baking in a southern red state but dreaming blue. In the past was in the library world but now enjoying a more unstructured environment.

#commonLisp #introductory #demo #programming with #systems of #packages using #asdf screwlisp.small-web.org/progra

in my opinion, any other description of what to do describes special-purpose advanced convenience functions. It /really/ is this easy.

I include #emacs #eev support (which is transparent to the common lisp if you are not using it) since having a lisp environment at all is somewhat inevitable to using lisp, and pressing F8 over and over again is pretty easy to do.

Thoughts!?

Last night I did a tutorial for my #introductory #astronomy class looking at stellar evolution and how the chemical composition of the #stars has changed over the history of the #universe. Then I wake up to hear Prof Catherine Heymans (Astronomer Royal for Scotland) talking about one of the youngest and most distant #galaxies ever found, thanks to #JWST and why it might be so bright. Here’s the story: esawebb.org/news/weic2406/?lan

Electronics beginner kits

I’ve been looking at several of these on eBay and they all seem to be to be too complex to start a person off with

Admittedly what a manufacturer would like to call a ā€˜beginner’ kit with a ā€˜random’ selection of useful components is likely to be whatever surplus nonsense they can get cheap, so there’s that

But even from the sellers that seem to be putting effort in (and charging appropriately) there’s really no such thing as a beginner’s electronics starter kit these days

I might put one together myself and see how this project goes over time (no big hurry) – I’m pretty sure I can pick a useful selection of components and parts that would
really work for starting youngsters off on the path to electronics

For a start, I’d have a few battery holders with flying leads and some old-fashioned little torch light bulbs (still available) (prob 3V would do, a pair of AA would suffice) and hookup wire and croc clips and stuff, although, those old big plastic (still available) torch light bulb holders have screw terminals so that’s good

Then some switches, a wire wound variable resistor if available (or carbon track one that can handle torch lightbulb current without scorching the track) and that’s stage 1, really, that’s all you need to begin – more than one bulb, more than one switch, series configurations, parallel configurations, that’s a lot to learn really – the explanations can be on little cards accompanying this little selection, how to hook it up, what exactly is happening

Then from there, add more in a meaningful progression

What most of the starter kits you can get now have is a breadboard and hookup wires and little breadboard PSU, a selection of resistors, caps, LEDS, tiny push buttons, few other things like that, and then the next step up they go all the way to chucking in an arduino! (Cheap clone of course, and I mean cheap)

It might be an impressive component count and didn’t cost much, but in reality it’s not actually useful – the ones you can get for about twelve quid

We can do better

Since there's been a huge influx of new users on here I figured I'll make an #introductory post.
My name is Kevin and I have been collecting and painting miniatures for 20+ years. I mainly collect #warhammer #40k #AoS #BloodBowl #Necromunda #Underworlds #Warcry I am a part time commission painter, husband to an amazing wife (13 years!) and father to the coolest Autistic kiddo you'd ever meet named Atlas! Welcome to my corner of Mastodon and I hope you like what you see!!!

Hello,

I teach an #introductory course to #dinosaurs in #EnvironmentalScience at #UMassBoston each spring.

I would be thrilled to host virtual or corporeal #guest #lecturers on subjects including #fossil preparation, reconstruction, dinosaurs in culture, #curation of fossils, et cetera. ½ hr to 50 minutes?

UMB is the only public research university in #Boston. We are diverse with ca. 40% first generation college students and 70% of undergraduate students being people of color.

Interested?

I never really did an post, not sure if it’s necessary given my follower count, but I’m Sean (not seen), and I’m a grad student prepping for the CPA exam. I love , , and anything and related. I’m still working my way off twitter, but love the possibilities here on !!
