Oh yeah, I forgot about the baby farm animals. That must be really cool to witness.
True. It's probably not worth the trouble as well.
That's awesome. Really nice that it complemented what you already knew well. Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun working with all those packages. Make sure you read the documentation on those packages. I've had my share of running into problems and all of a sudden realizing the solution was addressed in the documentation.
Yes... can't say I want to be a farmer, but there are some nice parts I guess.
Oh come on, everyone knows you read the documentation AFTER you can't make the functions work...
All this talk about documentation is making me hungry.

I'd agree. Farming is interesting at times, but definitely not something I'd imagine myself doing for the rest of my life.
Ah yes, that's definitely true. Definitely captures the spirit of things not working on the first try. Sometimes there's a bug and you don't know how it happened. Then you somehow remove the bug and fix the program and still have no idea how it happened.

I want to clock out and go home with 40 hours a week. Even academia is a little too much.
Most of the time I know how I fixed things, except for the other week when I switched from R to Python, implemented the exact same thing, and the bug went away...

Ah yes, that schedule is much more manageable for life. Farming certainly feels like something you can't leave alone. Academia is definitely time-consuming. Now I look back and wonder how I seemed to manage.
Wow, I guess there's some edge case that R didn't account for but Python did.

And I have to slog through this for most of the decade...

I hope you're having a good Thanksgiving!
Wow. I guess that's what it's like to be part of a research department.
Thanks! I had a pretty good Thanksgiving. Mainly went home to visit family. How was yours?

Gotta learn enough to be able to make original contributions
Well, I had a procedure on the Monday of Thanksgiving to fix an issue with my nose being blocked that I've had since I was a kid, so I spent the week recuperating from that at my parents' new house. Now I am glad to be home at my apartment, but sad to do work.

Yep. Probably not a lot of room for creativity, at least in finding discoveries that actually work.
Ah, very interesting. Glad you're feeling a little better and hopefully breathing a lot clearer too. It'll feel nice having some fresh oxygen to do your work with.
Welp. I guess it's time to start another rebellion.
Has there been one before?
To change the subject:
I actually found a way to circumvent almost all of ProBoards' development rules (in a way that PB can't prohibit). PB doesn't allow AJAX, iframes, or requests to the server or database (besides with very limited ways).
BUT, you can make a get or post request or use an iframe or just do stuff with non-PB servers or databases. So I created a web server that can track TBB in certain ways and then do things. For example, I programmed something yesterday that tracks the last active threads that a user has, and then puts that information on the TBB profile page to make it that the profile page has the user's last three topics (like on LMB's profile pages). Without the workaround (put the information from TBB on my external website, and then get that information from the external website onto TBB with AJAX) that was previously impossible. (btw, those three last threads hasn't been added to TBB yet) I could also do something like track if a specific page is loaded, and then make it that a "views" counter is added to - each time a specific page is loaded. I could track how long a person is on TBB and then make that a factor when it comes to rank. I could add a live chat to TBB and make it that when a user posts in the live chat it adds the live chat message to the user's posts list (/user/id/recent). I could make it that on any click or any load or anything really, something is added to a database, and then I could put that info on TBB. Honestly, I'm probably not explaining it in a good way, but like, just know that I figured out how to do a lot of stuff.
I also figured out how to add an AI (which I would train with something like tensorflow.js or brain.js, and it could make a post hidden and flagged if the AI labels it as inappropriate), but that AI doesn't have much to do with my "external server and database" workaround.
Goodbye LMBs...
