    1. Troll (slang). December 2023. Page Version ID: 1188437550. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Troll_(slang)&oldid=1188437550 (visited on 2023-12-05).

      This article basically talks about the definition of troll, and how would people define troll online and in real life. I personally dislike this behavior because it would harm people intentionally. Trolls did not actually consider others feelings, and they also want to show how smart they are. This will make the trolls feel good by showing how much knowledge they know.

    1. Feeling Smart: Going with the gatekeeping role above, trolling can make a troll or observer feel smarter than others, since they are able to see that it is trolling while others don’t realize it.

      Most of trolls like the feeling of being smart, and sometimes it is easy to troll something when there are lots of resources on the internet. The trolls have enough time to get prepared, and this is the mean reason why trolls know everything. Being smart make the trolls feel good, and once they have this feeling, they will continue to troll.

    1. Authentic connections frequently place high value on a sense of proximity and intimacy. Someone who pretends to be your friend, but does not spend time with you (proximity) or does not open themselves up to trusting mutual interdependence (intimacy) is offering one kind of connection (being an acquaintance) under the guise of a different kind of connection (friendship).

      I personally agree this idea, and I also think that people that like to spend their time and money into the relationships actually care about each others more than the people that do not want to invest anything into their relationship. In addition, I think proximity and intimacy should be based on trust. If people do not trust each other, they will not get authentic relationships.

      This article basically talked about the design technique which was called CIDER. There are five stages in CIDER, and this technique tried to help users to think beyond "average" user .The five letters meant Critique, Imagine, Design, Expand, Repeat. After I read this article, I learned CIDER played an important role in learners and creators.

    1. Scrolling. October 2023. Page Version ID: 1179993722. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scrolling&oldid=1179993722#Infinite_scrolling (visited on 2023-11-24).

      This article introduces the definition of scrolling and different types of scrolling. I was not trying to pay attention to the scrolling when I was viewing the website or watching a TV show. After I read this article, I found out how useful the scrolling was.

    1. In order to loop a set number of times, we can use the range function to effectively make a list of numbers to go over, so we can loop that many times. For example, if we wanted to ask “Are we there yet?” repeatedly, 10 times, we can do this:

      This saved lots of time when I was programming in Java and Python. The loop can save lots of time, and programmers do not need to repeat for so many times. We can even use the for loop for counting numbers and print something with patterns.

    1. Shannon Sullivan and Nancy Tuana. Race and Epistemologies of Ignorance. State University of New York Press, Albany, 2007. ISBN 978-0-7914-8003-8. URL: https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/163/monograph/book/5200 (visited on 2024-04-01).

      This article introduces a book that generally talks about the connection between ignorance and racism. The gap for knowledge is not the only reason causes the racism, and the main reason is the accidental result of epistemological oversight.

    1. So we can make a list of the numbers from 1 to 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

      List is very convenient for the programers. We can store as many number we want into the list. When we want to use the specific number inside the list, we can just state the location of that number in the list. Also, if you want to add more into the list, it is also flexible for programmers.

    1. Does the fact that it is a bot change how you feel about its actions?

      Yes, I do think the fact that it is a bit change my felling about its actions. Sometimes, people will more likely to think that a bot is more depersonalized and mechanic. The bot cannot understand real humans' feelings. I feel like I would like to see more real posts rather than bots' posts.

    1. Python While Loops. February 2021. URL: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_while_loops.asp (visited on 2023-11-17).

      Personally, I enjoyed using while looping during the computer science class in high school. While loop saves lots of time for programmers. It keeps doing the instructions if the requirements are met. It has a same idea in Java, while loop execute the instructions. With while loop, programmers do not need to repeat the code over and over again.

    1. So how do people turn their ideas into binary computer instructions?

      Personally, I think people turn their ideas into the binary computer instruction by programming. The people who do the programming part are called programmers. Programmers use different programming languages such as Java, Python,C++ etc..

    1. Zhuangzi [b23] Zhuangzi ~300 BCE China

      I've learned the story about Zhuangzi when I was in primary school. The story about the perspective of fish actually follow the core of Taoism. Zhuangzi and his friend argued about if Zhuangzi knew the fishes feeling. His friend said Zhuangzi was not fish and how can he know fishes feeling if he was not a fish. However, Zhuangzi said his friend was not Zhuangzi himself, and how can Zhuangzi's friend know Zhuangzi's feeling without being Zhuangzi. This story tells us we cannot know others' perspectives are wrong without being that themselves.
