Australia, where winter is coming. And also Game of Thrones, months after everywhere else.

    Well chums, looks like I've got morning shift Enforcing at PAX again! I'll be free after 1:30 each day (and I will likely go and get lunch immediately if people want to hang out for a bit then!)

    I have 3 exams in 4 days. What do I do.
    I can't keep the entire subject matter of 3 classes, none of which are bullshit, in my head :sad:

    I've had three exams in two days.

    It's not the best, but you just devote the previous week to sharing time and you do prestudy before each exam.

    I have to admit this year has gone very well for me (Engineering Pathway course) but starting Engineering proper next year is intimidating. I enjoy my downtime, even if it's not much but the next 4 years will have very little of that.
    A big "wait and see" I guess, I definitely have more respect for engineers now. Even a hedge engineer would have had a mountain of resolve in their schooling life.

    You'll be fine, Blunts. Just avoid smoking too much of yourself, you have a deleterious effect on the conversion process of short term memory into long term memory. I know quite a few engineers, and you are definitely smarter than many of them, so it's not like you lack the intelligence to smash the exams and be a great engineer.

    Australias best classic car show is on in Melbourne this weekend. I will be in Melbourne next weekend. I am very disappointed to learn of this.

    That sucks. I've got 2 on the first day of exams, but the rest are spaced out, thankfully. :(

    I've got a 3000 word essay, and a 2500 word assignment due on the 31st. I'm 1351 words into the first one. Should be good.

    My assignments all got finished super smoothly. Finished my last report at 1pm and me and my partner were kinda dumbfounded as to what to do. SURELY we'd forgotten something right?

    So we got super duper drunk

    That's only 4149 more words to go! Or 415 words per day! You can do that!

    I've got two 3000 word ones, and two 2500 word ones. It's not so much the word count but the fact I have no fucking clue about any of them. Yarg

    Good luck with your exams guys!

    I just started at art school, and today they were describing the final exams from the British school of art until the 1950s. The questions were something like 'accurately draw a man serving a tennis ball from imagination, then draw the skeleton of the same pose, carefully rendering every joint, then draw the pose again illustrating all the muscles, ligaments and insertion points'. Pretty intense stuff.

    Flay on

    Man, phrasing it like this actually make me kinda worried.

    I will admit that I've learned a ton about memory because of C.

    Mostly that I am terrible at managing it.

    You can make Java super fast, but you have to massage the JVM to the point that, why would you bother and I'm pretty sure it loses its portability.

    I'm not sure how much C++ is used in signal processing, though. C is kind of an industry standard, to my understanding. :(

    But, I'm also getting pretty excited for PAX! Mostly because I have 3 assignments plus a short presentation due Tuesday and Wednesday.

    I wouldn't be a good judge at all. I guess you're stuck with it then :rotate:
    The code I write is, super fucking niche and I mostly just need sound business knowledge about what is a good / bad idea or high / low risk.
    Writing clean code helps too I guess. I spent 12 of the past 20 months working on what I imagine is some of the worst code good developers have ever produced.

    E: I want to take this moment to bitch about the fact that somewhere in MSVC libs there is something along the lines of #define GetMessage GetMessageA. So now I have to add #undefs to file so they build on windows for people who like the visual studio debugger (it is good I won't lie).
