I cannot keep having this interaction

oh the programmer urge to be born in the 1970's so you could invent everything yourself

2/30 Days "Back to Uni" Challenge

Q: What is your favourite music to study to? This varies depending on what I'm studying. If I'm coding then I like to listen to motivating amped-up music like this playlist. If I'm writing an essay and need to seriously concentrate then I listen to instrumental music here. And if I'm doing mindless tasks like data collection or annotation, then I listen to catchy sing-along pop hits like this playlist!

Join the challenge here!

Day- 02 ☕

Today was a day where I could do more , I could be getting the results I wanted but i didn't because the universe was testing me with a lot of troubles, distractions etc. But still I'm grateful because I have done something and I learned and i survived it 🪐🌸

🌷Physical:

Did yoga and breathwork together and I'm being consistent in it . ❤️

Did 16 pushups - a win for me .

💌Mental:

Found telegram channels teaching business and making money.

Started joe dispenza - Lewis howes podcast half way through it.

Learned new lessons.

Did journaling and intentions for the day .

🕯️Fallouts:

I did scrolling and it was bad because I felt bad after that .

Goal 01 : control anonymously scrolling through every platform available with focus, timer etc.

I wasted time and i don't even know where and i admit it .

Goal 02: Everyday, Do a feedback loop or reflection at the end of the day about the time spent .

Compared, I felt jealous and envious of others = human behaviour

Goal 03: Feel gratitude everyday for 5 mins with good music and do start manifest journal.

🌛Lessons learned today:

A person who is disciplined is the one who is free, others are just slaves to their emotions, feelings and instant pleasures.

You can always start again and again until you get better.

Tomorrow will be better and I'm here for it.

Help. How do I get to the coding side of Tumblr.

[finalproblem-mlm]

last semester the average for the exam i have this friday was 50% with no curve. i love computer science

>> Hello World!

First post! Finally kickstarting this blog! I am a 1st year Comp Sci Student! (BSc) and plan on joining the 100 DoC soon :]

>> For University

Held a meeting to arrange division of work on formative group coursework on development methodologies. Started on a powerpoint and script!

Continued working on figma illustrations for summative group cousework on web technologies.

>> For Myself

Enrolled and begun work on a coursera course: Algorithms, Pt I

Got a question for my fellow techies...

I just got myself the MSI Z490 A Pro motherboard for a mid-tower project; I'm seeing the errant super-critical review amidst a sea of "Eh, s'okay"s - typically something to the effect of the board croaking during attempted BIOS updates.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

August 27, 2024 • Tuesday

I tried filming a study timelapse for the first time!!! I think it came out okay?? Lemme know in the notes :3

Today was actually pretty good. I'm being consistent in my 8-5 sleep schedule, and the mornings are always so peaceful. I've started posting a bit on my studygram too, but really, that's only for trying something new. I'm a Tumblr user through and through :D

I studied OS (operating systems). Pretty interesting so far. We haven't started Computer Networks class yet, and I'm kinda looking forward to it. Hopefully all these theory heavy subjects don't kick my ass (narrows eyes at CA during last semester)

Ok. I need a consensus. C/C++ programmers.

[agent-z-coding]

I HAVE FINALLY SUCCEEDED

IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!!!!

[4, 5, 4.3] -> add BECOMES 13.3!!!!!!!!!!

YOU PEOPLE I HAVE DONE IT

source code will be coming soon (as soon as i get more helper functions working.

For now, PLEASE contribute if you can. Even as little as suggesting some helper functions could help me a ton.

Contribute below:

Open a PR, An issue, Anything, Just mention what the language lacks and you don't even need to implement it yourself, I'll add it to the To-Do list and get working on it ASAP.

Join the discord server, I will be posting updates and asking for suggestions and providing beta builds: https://discord.gg/JxnKn9jd

Life Lesson learnt whilst studying CS : Backtracking

“Backtracking is an algorithmic-technique for solving problems recursively by trying to build a solution incrementally, one piece at a time, removing those solutions that fail to satisfy the constraints of the problem at any point of time”

Today I was solving backtracking algorithm related questions and I realised just as we in CS solve problems using this technique incrementally, we must emulate that same pattern in life to ensure our intended results. Just as a rat in a maze doesn’t stop moving and adjusts their direction, we in life must see all rejections as redirections. 

Consistent redirections without losing enthusiasms is what led the proverbial rat to the end of the maze. 

But, there is a catch here. The rat remembers its past moves and builds upon them. Even though it may lead to an imminent stone wall, the rat moves with equal enthusiasm till the end of the road. The rat systematically weeds out failed routes, remembers them and moves with the same conviction to find the route that gets it to the end of the maze. 

Just like the rat, we must be mindfully making logical decisions and going about our days in a systemic fashion.

Backtracking can be defined as a general algorithmic technique that considers searching every possible combination in order to solve a computational problem. 

Search every nook, every cranny. Knock on every door. Do what needs to be done. But NEVER give up.

Iconic Things My Coding Professors Have Said (Part 12)

"real data is always messier than data you get in textbooks, but thats true about real life and fiction books too"

Prof: "does any group want to go first? no? anyone?"    Student: "we dont care"   Prof: "oh... okay… does any group care?"

"this is very common, uh, draco and harry slash fiction. does anyone know what the slash means? no? really? that’s alright, i bet you do but i won't embarass you by making anyone say it, so i'll say it instead. Draco and harry have a lot of gay sex... that's not something i ever thought i'd say as a professor to a room full of students in a professional, academic environment, but this is where we are"

"This model requried a lot of input from a lot of people, and, as you probably know, people suck"

"but for what? i mean i know that they want to make a lot of money, and they don't really care who's exploited to make a profit, but i doubt they want to destroy the world… not yet, anyway"

"we asked for ages for this company to make their book open source but they always kept refusing us… and now they're not around anymore. But no hard feelings"

"of course, if you say you're investing time in something, you're not literally investing anything material. Humans understand this, but stupid computers do not"

Prof: "Wait, why is marie kondo listed as fiction?"   Student: "so's the bible"   Prof: "oh boy, let's not get into THAT"

"I absolutely adore this book, so if you're expecting any sort of objectivity from me… uh, yeah, you're not gonna get it"

"i won't be able to explain it in five mintues, but if you do ever have some time… probably not until after this entire masters course, but if you do ever have some time-"

"one character who dramatically loses popularity in fanfiction, is, of course, hagrid, which is probably because he isn't suitable for a sexual encounter with another character, gay or otherwise"

"journalist texts use registers other than those used in text messages or emails or even letters, if you remember what those are, or snapchats or instabooks-"

"As for the others, we expect you to actually collaborate with each other - and yes, i know, we're computer scientists so that sounds horrible, but just deal with it"

Prof1: "how many of you have reviewed a book online? One? Two? Two people. Anyone else?"   Prof2: "I wrote a few fake reviews online for my own books, if that counts"

"For this evaluation we need to use humans, and as you know, humans are what? Yes! Too expensive. Not that I've tried to buy one of course - they seem like far too much trouble, to be honest"

"It's only advantage is that it doesn't need human intervention, such as annotation, and thats good because annotation sucks, as we all know. It’s quite similar to people in that way"

Prof: "This book only became popular because the author was a celebrity, so thats why i think this book is there"   Student: "but what about ‘Great Expectations’? by Charles Dickens?"   Prof: "well… i mean he's not an internet celebrity"

"you can see that the centrality of harry has dropped but draco has increased, because in fanfiction, draco is a very common character because of, obviously, the afformented gay sex"
