About life and feelings, gloomy and private
The feelings we get from the activities we do could be classified as neutral, positive and negative.
Let's take developing #Gentoo as an example. It's something that makes me happy — but you can't (or at least I can't) just get the happiness and reject everything else. Most of the Gentoo work is basically neutral, even bland — a duty that takes a lot of time and effort, and probably a little of your health. It's statistically probable that you're going to get some positive feelings out of it — the joy of success, satisfaction, appreciation, awareness that you've done something good. But you also get negative feelings — from failures, frustration, negative interactions.
My hiking trips are like that too. My family believes that "I do it for pleasure" — but it's a harmful oversimplification and it only tells me that they even aren't trying to understand me. In fact, it's mostly a necessity, a way of solving specific problems that works for me — halting diabetes-related problems, coping with emotions. Of course there's a positive side to it — good mood, energy to survive another day, something the joy of visiting a new place, seeing something beautiful, finding a solution to a vexatious problem, positive interactions with people. But there are also negative feelings — anger and sadness from failure, stress from problems, negative contacts with people. Sometimes you end up slowly charging your social battery for a whole week, just to have one person destroy it all.
If you think about it, life's something like that. It's mostly a bland effort to survive every following day, sometimes interspersed with positive or negative moments.

Hey friends, we just finished a 6h walk with about 600m elevation from #badWiessee to #lenggries
We walked some new and some well known trails. Enjoyed the sound of a stream and also cleaned up nature a bit.
Oh and everything by foot or public transport (train and bus). We've be…

Monochromatic Polynomial sumset structures on $\mathbb{N}$
In the paper, we searh for monochromatic infinite additive structures involving polynomials on $\mathbb{N}$. Ultimately, we can build the following results: (1) For any $r\in \mathbb{N}$, any distinct natural numbers $a,b$ and any $2$-coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, there exist subsets $B,C\subset \mathbb{N}$ with $|B|=r$ and $|C|=\infty$ such that there exists a color containing $B+aC$ and $B+bC$; (2) For any finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$ and any $P\in \mathbb{Z}[n]$ with posit…

Whenever I'm asked to evaluate a broad range of files as part of some competition - for fellowships, grants, awards, etc. - I constantly need to check my natural inclination to be hardest on those projects I know the most about. It's all too easy to become the distracted boyfriend meme, giving high marks to things I'm fairly ignorant of while failing to appreciate solid work closer to home.
