the first thing i requisitioned when i got my code job was a big fuckin' whiteboard and all the color markers

then i jacked a 200-count box of t-pins and posted poo poo up errywhere

i still have to get cubeplants though maybe i'll see if i can root a rosemary branch and bring it up there

t-pins is best pins

I honestly think that programming and technology in general is loving awesome, but that doing it under pressure, with responsibilities towards users, budgets or some lovely arbitrary criteria related to the environment make it a burden.

There's this thing where programming, software engineering or computer science is a hobby, a book of fun challenging problems to solve. It's like drawing, music, or even sports. When you do them under your own rules and conditions, you can happily sink hours in them.

The moment a teacher, customer, or whoever forces you to do things their way, it sucks all the fun out of it. The game becomes an obligation, and it's ruined.

Few people have the luck of finding a dev job challenging enough (or set in the right environment) to keep them going and growing. For the rest of the dev world, programming sucks and everything is poo poo most of the time, especially if your day job and other obligations keep you from doing things on your own terms in your free time.

It's where hobbies and passions go to die.

so expose a blocking call that uses inter-thread communication between whatever thread calls it and the main thread, something like
code:
def get_setting(key):
  queue = Queue.Queue()    
  sublime.set_timeout(lambda: queue.put(sublime.get_setting(key)), 0)
  return queue.get()

what department is offering this course for what purpose and what is it's intdented audience? image processing is some heavy stuff and uses a lot of fourier transforms and poo poo, maybe you should take a course that isn't for idiots

the raw data you get from a CT machine is essentially in radon transformed format, same with MRIs and fourier transformed

this is a cool book

it's by the cs department and according to the course description we are going to make fourier transforms and poo poo later in teh course, but we are apparently starting from the level dumb drooling babbies.

i looked up that book. the firs edition was published in 1977 :stare:

and it's kinda not cheap at all.

graph theory has implications everywhere. think of how facebook suggests friends for you; they're using graph theory to map your friendships and make friend suggestions based on similar nodes.

basically, math owns.

it was a 12 node map and I just remember having a lot of tedious matrix additions and comparisons and making a lot of silly mistakes I had to then go back an correct.

Maybe I am getting my algorithms mixed up, it was some time ago.

now tho this kind of poo poo motivates me, I just wish I could keep that motivation until I can actually ACT on it, a la after work

i haven't ever thought about using matrices for hand-dijkstra, that sounds pretty complicated
i just play paper queue
um maybe it's a different algorithm

There are two ways to do it, one is by generating the rooms, placing them on the level and then connecting them. Conceptually I think this way is easier to understand so I'm going to do that first, but I'm also really interested in creating the cellular automaton that can grow the maze like you said.
