one tool that blew my mind when I studied multimedia was Mathlab, that shit's OP as hell

I want my child to live the maths fueled future that I unknowingly cockblocked myself from

I was top dog at maths, even when I barely studied (I still studied and did homework though) and was smoking hash on the breaks. For reference I beat both the class nerd and the token chinese class nerd at maths.

now I just realised the cool graph part most of it can be don by wolfram alpha
pretty sure wolfram can't do in-detail image manipulation though, image manipulation is hella cool 2bh

I've created similar menus in C# it was relatively easy, just fucking characters and pseudo characters (spaces, shapes which take a char's space), bg color and font color. what you can do with that is mind blowing, not to mention the beauty of enriched ascii art, fuck I have to dive in that world again if only for pure enjoyment

pretty sure it can do more than I know, but based in my experience, it can give you 2D and 3D algebraic representations and yes that includes ebin 3D graphics derived from x y z formulas

Wolfram can definitely do image manipulation, I use it for basically all my graphing, animations, etc.

Is Mathematica worth buying for learning, personal use and individual productivity?
Or is more of an "if your employer or university doesn't use it too don't bother" type of tool?
The features sound appealing but I'm unsure whether it is worth investing the time and money when I can just keep using Julia.

Tools are made to do a job, being smart is not a job or a purpose.
What exactly do you want to do?

It is basically lisp but good. Notebook interface is polished and great.

To add to this, the Uni Kuru Toga Advance mechanical pencils. They have a mechanism that, when the lead is pressed and released, rotates the lead slightly (I think I counted 20° on the earlier Roulette model where you can see an indicator icon) so that it stays even and sharp. I own a few of them (5 I think), had them for years, went through many lead refills without issues, and love them.

Only problem is the erasers are tiny, you cannot find a satisfactory 3rd party replacement, they wear down fast, and are not cheap, so make sure to have some other external eraser like a Sakura Arch (another high-IQ tool) on hand. I once measured one of the erasers with calipers and bought a box of tiny erasers by Mr. Pen that were supposedly the same size. They were 0.001" undersized and fit loosely, not to mention that they're also too long and have to be cut down to 2/5 to fit properly lengthwise. 1/2 is too long, the end cap will still fit, but they pull out of the end of the pencil when you try to erase due to the way they bend with so much leverage on the end.

I still have a box of 97 of these god damn things that I can't use comfortably. It was only like $5, but still, I don't like to waste things so I can't bring myself to throw them away. I don't really know what to do to make them useful. I no longer have a whole machine shop at my disposal to make a holder just for them, or I would have a nice aluminum handle that could fit at least 5 of them in the barrel and a mechanism to push them out as they wear. I just don't know anymore. My life is in shambles.

tldr: these mechanical pencils are a joy to write with!

I respect and admire the autism required to make such a long effortpost about a fucking pencil
