I think folks saying you don't need math are right. But if you are having trouble with college algebra you might have trouble with CS. Or the teacher is bad.

Math really builds on itself at the stage where you are. Without good algebra calculus isn't going to work well.

I'd try a different teacher. Online courses or repeating the course with another professor or something.

It's one of magi!

I'm late to this, but could a kind soul explain what I'm missing out on by using urxvt? I settled on it years ago and haven't changed anything.

I certainly get lag in my pixels but no disconnects.

I've learned a lot by breaking things. By making mistakes and watching other people make mistakes. I've writing some blog posts that make me look real smart.

But mostly just bang code together until it works. Run tests and perf stuff until it looks good. It's time. I have the time to write it up. And check back on what was really happening.

But I still mostly learn by suffering.

I just have to say "tastes like c" is a visceral way to say it. I approve.

I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn't seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.

I'm not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.

Catch 22 is just about the funniest thing I've ever read. I don't think you'll finish it in a day, but it's amazing.

Never Let Me Go is the most "not for me" book I've ever read. I can see why people love it. And I respect what it's doing. I just don't want to play a long.

Project Hail Mary used to come up on r/books from time to time and was polarizing. Lots of folks loved it. Lots thought it wasn't good.

If you loved the Martian I think you'll like PHM. I did.

I've stopped using stash and mostly just commit to my working branch. I can squah that commit away if I want later. But we squash before merge so it doesn't tend to be worth it.

It's just less things to remember.

I'm just a hacker. I'll never be a thought leader. But I am passionate about my work. And my kids.

I love solving the problems. I have a few posts on the company blog but they put a chat bot on it a while back and didn't care that it felt offensive to me.

But I'm here, reading this. Maybe I'm grey matter.
