Yes! I think this is closer to what I would want. Organic questions that are helpful to document and then community answers (maybe even so other projects gets some primary sources that are openly available). Since I am starting now, I had the though that my initial question would be important to document for the reason you mentioned (I will forget them) and making the questions throughout people's experiences valuable. Are you interested in helping mod/maybe develop this idea?

Thank you! What I was imagining is somewhere to focus on centralizing documentation (not necessarily in exclusion for communities to discuss), maybe have some general q and a posts. This is giving me the idea to maybe have topic posts for people to answer in their free time?

 

I recently started transitioning and it was pretty overwhelming. As to my knowledge (please let me know if I am wrong) there are few widespread studies about the practical experience of transitioning (including but not exclusive to information about hrt). Right now, for myself, some of the most valuable documentation on what to do is on reddit, specifically discussions in the comments.

Because of this I am proposing a community just for documenting and asking questions about the actual processing of transitioning. I have never made or moderated a community (and would greatly prefer if someone that knows how to do so does as I am more interested helping documentation), as I see the need for having knowledge about transitioning on an open platform.

Here is the community: [email protected]

I would appreciate any thoughts about this and/or help to get such a project going. Especially would appreciate if there is already a community for this on lemmy.

Is there another new one, I am getting the same error. Thank you

Probably from whatever viewer you are using. Might be able to get an answer if you ask whatever community they have in Lemmy

That when you get out python or Matlab, or if insanity beacons Fortran, or maybe even c++

Orbitals are actually an approximation, which is what part of the confusion is. The exact math is beyond me, but the idea is that the orbitals represent the most likely place for an electron to be, not the only place. Lots of probability involved, including with how electrons react with each other. Chemical reactions that do happen are just the most likely event, but when you atom by atom things can get really weird. At that scale electron don’t really obey classical physics (which is what intuition usually expects). As a more concrete example, if you take a chemistry class, you probably learn that electrons like to group in pairs of two, which is weird if you think about two negative charges grouping together, but (once a gain with math that I don’t claim to understand) quantum physics does explain this (because of electron “spins” which do not spin like in a classical physics sense) even though it is not intuitive from classical mechanics. Similarly orbital rules break down at some points, such as carbon able to to have 4 bonds (the s and p orbital have very similar energy levels if I remember the chemistry right), which you can’t get from the simplified orbitals.

This is the perfect use case for gentoo, there is a documented process for adding kernel patches and a saving a kernel build configuration
