Awia posted:to confuse even further universities can have their own bespoke internal grading systems that will be translated to the normal degree classes upon completion our grading system is a 22 point scale, this is how assignments, exams, and then each class is graded, technically no percentages anywhere there are 5 levels of A, so A1 to A5 where A1 is the highest. and then everything else has 3 levels, so B1 to B3, C1 to C3 etc its really weird

mine was %s the whole time. 70% = 1st 60 = 2:1 50 = 2:2 40 = 3rd <40 = fail

microsoft performance reviews had 5 levels, officially (1 was highest), except that that wasn't good enough, so there was a secret level called 1* which no one was told about but you knew you got it if your rewards were outside the possible ranges for a "1"

my 4th year contributed 60% to the final degree award, and 3rd year 40%. i would have been owned otherwise. also thankful for the dissertation being 40 credits out of 120, despite that second marker pulling the grade down

is there a resource for learning programming languages except for lower level stuff where it gives you simple operating system type problems to solve?

i was rushing back here to edit that terrible question before anyone quoted it i have no idea what i mean. i want to do the kinds of things low level c programmers do like read and write to a socket, encode some bits, maybe buffer some buffers, do a message bus, i dont know everything a computer does below pooping json into a rest api is a mystery to me

give what you just said a whirl. get a low level language like c or c++, find the socket APIs for your platform, and write a couple of toy apps that open a socket and barf some bits at each other. try to send a file over the socket (which will also involve reading a file). post questions about anything that you get stuck on. socket APIs are shockingly easy. i learned how to talk over raw sockets in c++ writing an irc bot. once you get comfortable writing to/reading from sockets and connecting them and such, maybe try that. connect to an irc server, join a room and show the messages on screen, parsing the (rather simple, really) message format will exercise a different section of your skills

Those are just implementations of research papers or already have existing instruction sets If you're talking about C on x86 that doesn't involve "how do i implement tcp/ip", mid level C programming like web. just a different kind of lovely. below that are real-time operating systems designed to be built into deterministic hardware you can buy one of these and start playing with it http://shop.freertos.org/FreeRTOS_Evaluation_Kits_s/1514.htm I'm not in that space anymore but it's more relevant than rasberry pi at least edit: nevermind, everyone else gave better answers

i wrote an id3 tag parser in realbasic (kindof a vb clone) once, that was a fun exercise aside from the language i think i even got it to write tags too, which could mean expanding the tag area at the front of the file if its too small
