🎓 Dr. Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@qoto.org

Thanks to @design_RG I just got in a model-M keyboard... trying it out now to write this toot, my first official act on the keyboard :)

@AmpBenzScientist indeed!

@arteteco

Happy to help :)

@Sphinx

@snow fair :)

@ZenCoder This makes me happy!

@pschwede Didnt have a particular source, just years of reading up on the topic. But there are a few graphs and papers out there that cover the basics of what I said, ill dig them up.

@iankenway lol thank you.

My favorite is sublimation because its one that you can see happening and its a bit surreal.. Camphor is an easy and fun one as you can extract it pretty easily with some basic setup, or just buy it (they sell it as a superstitious thing to certain groups so oddly you can find it at the right stores). To see a solid object just slowly (or if you heat it up quickly) disappear into nothingness is always cool to see as it doesnt seem real.
A very close second for me though is supercritical point, especially if your lucky enough to see it (its usually at too high a pressure to see but there are youtube videos of people creating high pressure clear chambers to witness it). Like sublimation its one of the few phase changes that you can watch and its surreal and cool to see, though sadly unlike sublimation you are unlikely to be able to witness it or experiment with it yourself without investing a decent amount of money.

Other types are really cool but there is nothing to actually see, to it, so its not really as fun even if its pretty cool.. Those would be

1) super conductivity, but especially type II (not the type you normally hear about) as that gives rise to the flux pinning effect

2) Quantum condensation is also a cool phase state change as it allows light to be slowed down to super slow speeds and other cool effects.

@Absinthe Haskell ::runs away:: :)

@Absinthe That doesnt exactly answer my question which makes it hard for me to answer yours... But in short, I'd be a bad person to compare the variations in the emacs and vim world. I looked at a lot of them but all very briefly so I dont know much about them. But as someone who recently transitioned fro traditional IDEs like atom, and Netbrains, I can certainly go into some detail on what the appeal is in making that transition or even what ultimately got me to pick spacemacs after briefly trying alternatives.

I did not, however try the alternatives your considering. I tried Doommacs and spacevim and a few others though.

@MichaelArk Well you are in the right spot then, we are an instance specifically for STEM professionals and enthusiasts.

@J lawl

Whats your favorite type of matter phase transformation?

@kasshelfant They got some skiallz :)

@Gabiiel @Sphinx You knew it?

@Sphinx You are missing out if you dont know the reference: https://youtu.be/RySHDUU2juM

Just remember, we all have a chicken-duck-woman thing waiting for us!
