Do you know any second languages or are learning any?

>>415 I used to speak berber (from morocco) and arab when I was a kid but I can't anymore. I also speak french (native language) and english.

>>418 We don't really have active imageboards in France, the closest thing is probably jeuxvideo.com but the community is pure cancer, otherwist everyone is on social medias or dicksword

>>418 >>422 >>423 Back in the day we got some imageboards, underfoule, clable6, acrimonie, frenchan. But they never last long as our internet culture is more centered around forum (now social media). There is also some dead 8kun board. If you want some active french imageboard community you can go on the french thread on 4chan /int/ or in traschan with the board /ent/ made by ancient acrimonie users

what books have you read recently, hikarin? what is your go-to literary interest? what's your reason for reading it? talk about fiction or nonfiction, academia or entertainment, everything in between, as long as you find it interesting. however, discussion of manga and comics should be kept to the /jp/ board. e-book resources: https://annas-archive.org/ https://libgenesis.net/ https://sci-hub.se/ https://archive.org/ https://openlibrary.org/ https://www.gutenberg.org/

>>378 Noted. Thanks for the analysis. I do prefer the worldbuilding for the sake of worldbuilding, I enjoy getting invested into and enthralled by a fantasy or sci-fi world. Honestly, using 40k as an example, I really prefer the idea of the galaxy that 40k builds more than I enjoy any specific storyline within the galaxy. The larger framework in which the authors use to lay out specific stories. Do you have any recommendations for authors that do good worldbuilding?

Very mainstream book recommendation but i reckon that this is the worst book ever read. It's legitimately just torture porn disguised as something deep. While the setting descriptions are amazing, the character development is (in my opinion) extremely subpar. Upsetting because I wanted a good read that would toy with my emotions. cry

I've actually been reading Erik Larson's The Demon of Unrest which is all about the leadup to the American Civil War, one of my favorite authors and really well written so far!

>>

Confederacy of Dunces. Hilarious book. I love characters like the MC.

We post about our research group meetings. >someone can't get something basic to work, the professor tries to do some light troubleshooting then and there, but this makes the presenter nervous and they start to spill spaghetti >someone went over their time and talked for hours about nothing I have my research group meeting this Friday and I've barely started on implementing the control algorithm I said I'd have done. Please shoot me.

Currently in 2nd year of BS Information Technology; graduating by the end of 3rd Year. I only got 2 GitHub projects, both of which are crappy and nothing to show for. I don't know whether to apply for an internship early, or wait for the school to offer/assign one for us.

>>

>>388 >I only got 2 GitHub projects i relate to this so so much. do companies usually want 5+?

>>

>>335 My luck was against me when I picked my uni because they never told us we would need to grind certificates or show off some github as portfolio. I never had any well untill I finished my master's neco

>>

>>389 Jobbing at a tech interview is a bigger concern and would invalidate even 10 projects

It seems as if most if not all of the relevant patents have expired. I will post any updates here.

good luck op!

/aca/ has the potential to be something good and original, don't remove it please, if you really have to you could just hide it the same way lainchan hid the /lain/ board (like you've done now), and who's in the known will go there and partecipate. If in the future there's enough action with the site in general you could bring the board's visibility back, consider it.

>>

yeah, i pretty much changed my mind about deleting it. i'll keep it (but delisted for now)

>>

>>312 Nice, hopefully the spam ends and we get more users.

>>

>>312 Thanks. This is a neat little board.

This board is like Mathchan except it's just one board instead of an entire site.

A new Indo-European cuneiform language has been discovered in clay tablets from the Hittite Empire. Dubbed Kalašmaic, it was recorded in Hittite tablets that preserved rituals from different parts of their empire in their native languages. This discovery made me very happy, I hope we get new words and roots in the Anatolian languages after the text is deciphered. Does /aca/ like linguistics and ancient languages? https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/new-indo-european-language-discovered/

>>

>>277 I wish we knew more about pre-indo european europe

>>278 same. I'm obssesed what language albanians were talking before indo-europeans givong their language to albanians tribes
