I made a beginner coding resource! 👩🏾‍💻💗
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hiya! 👩🏾‍💻💗
I made a coding infographic/slideshow for anyone getting into coding and are stuck! I'm seeing a lot of new codeblr blogs coming up recently and they're all beginners and I have been getting a lot of asks which basically all ask "I'm new to coding, how do I start?", so I decided to make this at 1am in the morning real quick! 🥲😭
I genuinely hope that this resource proves beneficial to someone out there. And remember, if you find yourself still facing challenges or need assistance with anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help! ✨

Media Preservation Monday
Yeah, yeah, as of this original post it's actually only Wednesday but hey, take this as a sign to take some initiative, and keep to it each Monday at minimum if you're actively writing!
What's Media Preservation Monday, you may ask?
MPM is your reminder to back up your writing at least three ways at least once a week or whenever you make major changes to your document(s).
Here's some incredibly easy ways to back up your writing:
One your Master Document(s), put a date on the file name, and every day you make changes, "Save As" the Document and change the date. Do this every time or day you make major changes.
Example: You start writing your Novella November Story on November 1st.
You name your master document "Novnov Project 11-01-2024"
The next day, you write some more, and at the end of your writing session, you go to save your document, and instead of simply hitting "Save" you choose "Save As" and save the new copy of the Document as "Novnov Project 11-02-2024".
You now have two copies of your project, and if you keep this up throughout the whole month, you will have a live snapshot of your writing progress.
Each day or after each major writing session, open up the folder containing your document, and back it up. The Easiest and simplest way to do this is to simply email it to yourself, but you can also create multiple backups by:
Save a copy of your dated Master Document(s) to different locations on your Hard-drive, to an external hard-drive, to a thumbdrive, etc.
If you're writing offline on a writing program like Libreoffice, upload a copy of your Master Document(s) to your preffered Cloud-based Writing Program of your choice.
Vice Versa: if you write on a Cloud-based writing program, download it to various offline-based locations.
Download the base document as well as download it as various ebook formats and send them to your ebook library on your phone or kindle or nook or reading app.
Make a personal discord server and upload the document/epub form of your Master Document(s) there [this is also a good way of making a kind of personal journal / diary etc]
Whatever you do, do not be complacent and assume nothing can happen to your writing. Back it up. Preserve it.
Don't have all of your hard work go down the drain because of one tiny unforeseen accident.
When it comes time to clean up your hardrive, always assume you don't have it backed up. Before deleting anything always take the time to copy it over to another physical drive or a cloud drive.

ghost who bakes in secrecy. not because he’s embarrassed, no. he likes the idea of keeping it to himself, having this one thing for himself only. he makes soap a lemon custard cake for his birthday. soap can’t believe how good it is and asks where he got it from. ghost stills for a moment and names a bakery that doesn’t exist, because he knows soap won’t actually seek it out. price gets a box of cannolis. ghost mentions that imaginary bakery had a new batch this morning. gaz has to put a box of raspberry jam cookies in the fridge or else he'll finish three rows in one night. that imaginary bakery seems to always know what everyone likes in detail.

How color theory
Good question ! When it comes to colour I believe the best way to find what works is to have fun and experiment until you find what works best for you!
I've already covered a bit about how I choose and create the colours here (making base colours colourful) and here (working with palettes)!
But in terms of what I know about actual colour theory, I can only offer this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's not a lot and it is just the basics so if you already knew this then apologies but it's all I know/ all I think is worth knowing. Please note that colour theory is more of a suggestion then a rule! Different colours look good to different people and you should do what looks good to you!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s been such a long week, y’all. There’s so much to do everyday, and there’s barely a chance to slow down and collect my thoughts! The picture on the right is from my physics lab. That thing is just as complicated as it looks, lol. At first, my equipment was faulty so I kept getting weird results and it was so confusing. But now, I’m headed on the right track!

A thing about notes and note taking in general:
Tumblr media
Notes in my opinion is one of THE BEST ways to consolidate our learning and to broaden our understanding. However, the method of notetaking matters and so does the subject.
I think the reason why a lot of people, despite taking notes, don't get a good grade is because of their inefficient and wrong method of notetaking and the revision of rewriting our notes.
Let me explain.
The first time you learn a topic, be it from a textbook or video, we take down notes. Whenever our teacher teaches us in school or in tuition, we take down these lecture notes. These lecture notes are to simplify our learning as our teachers often explain concepts for us to get a grasp of it. That's level 1 of our note taking.
With textbooks like the NCERT, we often have to refer to other guides and websites and just resources in general to learn concepts or learn the basics of certain concepts as NCERT skips them over. By doing this thing where we dive deep into a certain concept, it helps us to connect to the topic and it is very helpful for higher studies and colleges. Study to learn and learn to study. This is level 2 where we deepen our knowledge.
Now we compare the textbook,, our lecture notes and our other conceptual understanding notes so we can derive on whatever's important from an exam point of view. This is where our mind mapping and the connectivity of topics in our brain starts. This is level 3 of note taking where we bring our first draft of consolidated notes.
Finally, we go through past paper questions, question banks, book backs and numericals and add these questions, modify our notes in certain concepts so we have the best chance of getting full marks on that concept. This is level 4.
This is HOW we should take notes. Not once or twice, we have to take notes in such a way that we understand a backcbones of the topic first. Then we must consolidate to create exam style notes to minimise time for our revision sessions.
It is really time consuming, I do agree, but half of our work is done if we listen in school and write whatever that's relevant whenever our teachers teaching rather than whatever's written on the board. I find that many teachers often explain some concepts via voice rather than noting the points down on a whiteboard. So it's better to take out ur textbook and follow along with whatever the teachers saying and relate and take our lecture notes.
This is 50-60% of our work done in school.
If school teachers aren't good, then we have videos on YouTube or tuition as our alternate.
The rest is up to us at home as once those refined notes are finished, I promise you they will get you the best grades possible. It just takes a bit of deep work + hard work+ consolidating by making connections.
Love,
Mith <3

How to learn: HTML | Resources ✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sunday 10th September 2023
I have come back with a new resource I've made! This time about how to learn HTML! I'm starting from the basics right now and working my way up of 'how to learn' info resources!😅
I've made a HTML resource in the past (one | two) but this one is a bit more detailed and has tips of how I studied HTML. I use HTML on the daily so though I would share my knowledge with more people. Again, just like my previous resource "Starting your coding journey", this is more targeted towards absolute beginners or for people who want to learn how to customise their Tumblr blog/Neocite! 👩🏾‍💻
Anyhoo, check it out and let me know what you think: LINK

i have just been vindicated in my data hoarding: a song i used to be able to find on youtube has been taken down.
if you enjoy something online, and you have the means, i strongly urge you to find some way to save it to your hard drive.
my methods:
linux: Ultimate Media Downloader 4 my favorite in this list, UMD4 is totally free and lets you download media from many websites in both audio and video formats with no daily download limit. i encourage you to donate to the developer if possible. windows: 4K Video Downloader this program is also technically free and can download media as both video and audio. try to find an older version; newer versions only allow 6 downloads per day for free, but when i first found the program, you could do 30. all desktop/laptop platforms: Audacity a lesser-known method for sampling audio from literally anywhere, which is (as of this writing) untraceable, is audacity's ability to record the computer's audio output directly.
you'll want to download things in layman's quality (medium settings, i.e. 480p video, 320Kb/s MP3 audio) to preserve space, as full lossless quality takes up a huge amount of space for fairly little benefit. save the high qualities for your favorite things. this will save you tons of money on storage devices.

pro tip for programmers - how to alias
hey, so you know that annoying thing that happens when you're coding, and you need to run/test the same program 100 times in a row, so you end up typing "python3 testScriptWithASuperLongName.py" into the terminal about 80,000 times?
well, there's a better way! it's called aliasing :D
in your bash shell (or zsh, or whatever shell you use, but bash is the default on VSCode and most people on tumblr use VSCode, so I'm using bash as the default to explain this concept) you can set an alias, essentially a shortcut command, that runs longer commands.
(yes you can just use the up arrow key to re-run the same command, but sometimes you're typing other things into the terminal too and you don't feel like hitting the up arrow key four times in a row, and also this is just a cool and useful tip to get comfortable with aliasing so shhhh)
so, in your terminal shell, just type this:
alias run="python3 testScriptWithASuperLongName.py"
now, you can run that entire super long command, just by typing the word "run" into your terminal. Here's a screenshot of an example on my computer to make it make more sense:
Tumblr media
in this example, i just created a simple python file that contains one line of code: print("it works!")
then, as you can see, by setting the alias to run, i can now run that file, runningatestscript.py, simply with the command 'run'.
the best part is, this alias is temporary - it only lasts as long as your shell session is open. so once you close the terminal, the run alias is cleared and you can set it again next time to any file or task you're currently working on, to save yourself a lot of typing, typos, and time.
so if you want to, you can get in the habit of always setting a run alias in the VSCode terminal for whichever file you're working with as soon as you get everything open. that way, when you need to run the same file 50 million times, you have a super easy way of doing it! you can even set it to a single letter if you want to go for maximum speed, but i prefer to use whole short words, because they're easy for me to remember.
note: if you do want to set an alias to work for all sessions, you can simply add it to your ./bashrc file. this is a common way to automate repeatable tasks, and simply to set easier-to-remember commands for terminal commands that are really complicated/confusing/hard to remember.
for example, i saved the alias checkboot="[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo 'UEFI mode' || 'BIOS mode'" into my zshrc file (zsh equivalent of bashrc file). this way, no matter how many times i rebooted my machine, i would always be able to quickly check which boot mode was running by simply typing 'checkboot'.
yesterday i was updating my boot mode from BIOS to UEFI on my very old machine that is technically compatible with UEFI, but not configured for it by default. So it was extremely helpful and saved me the time and headache of having to remember and type that long-ass command a thousand times in between many different reboots and new shells.
if you have any tasks like that, or terminal commands that you know would be useful to you, but you can never remember them when you need them, i highly recommend getting comfortable with aliasing! it can be super useful to simply set custom aliases for all the commands you don't want to remember, so that you can automate things away and not have to worry about so much linux syntax all the time when you're tring to focus on programming.
i know this may seem like a simple tip to some, but i only learned about it recently and it's been extremely helpful to integrate into my workflow and customize my OS with! so i thought it might be worthwhile to some people if i share :) hope it helps!
