I got asked to implement single-lookahead regexes just using string tools and i had 45 minutes to do it. In short, gently caress google.

This feels like a test that prioritises people with immediate recall and photographic memory over people who are good at solving problems and you know, doing programmery stuff

Yeah like

If you were going to write one you wouldn't write one that had lovely string parsing, you'd either use combinators or dig out a few dozen papers from pike and ritchie describing the proven optimal approach to doing it and base off that, and that'd be like a day or two's work

Because there's no reason to reimplement this poo poo other than "I have Extremely specific design constraints and it involves making it as fast as possible so im tokenizing using SIMD and vector instructions blah blah blah"

i havent been able to cry in years despite really very much wanting to
crying is cathartic as gently caress and it sucks that i cant

suggestion: find a local trans femme friend who accepts u and can help u build a small safe space to cry in

worked for me, i couldn't cry at all before that point and it really helped

make music op

This is a good idea but one of two things happen when i sit down in front of a vst:
- it's too complex and overwhelming so i fiddle about a bit before closing it
- I have a tune in my head but by the time i figure out the baseline, it's degraded and i can't remember it

I don't really know how to break into it because you need to know the tools to gently caress about properly, and the "knowing the tools" part seems to be 45° incline : ohdear:


honestly that seems cool as poo poo, how do you get into it, i thought you needed a license to use an sdr?

right now i found a way to make a stackless, branchless lisp parser so my computery focused stuff is learning sizecoding so i can fit it all into a bootloader, which is making me wish id actually bothered to learn assembler rather than copying and pasting snippets of other people's assembler back when i was a wee lass noodling about

it's really more about the idea that forcing kids to speedrun math and punishing them for not learning rote memorization as fast as their peers is real fuckin lovely and frankly a bit abusive

I spent way too many recesses in third grade inside working on math problems because my brain didn't work the same way as others' did and the teacher made me think it was my own drat fault for not caring

gently caress you mrs. tripp. worst goddamn teacher I ever had

Yeah my maths teacher in Primary didn't want me using the method that I could understand, because he couldn't understand it, and as a result his being a constant loving rear end in a top hat to me stressed me out so bad my brain literally wouldn't let me add up until I was 14 and started working on it. It still kills me that I could have gone into math or something because the higher level stuff i can get intuitively, until it rests on a concept I'm still too stressed about to understand like... trigonometry... :negative:

no, we're saying dont feel pressured to find a passion to follow. A job is for making money, not for finding personal fulfillment.

we're also saying that you will likely grow to dislike what you do as a job, esp if you do it for a long time. Maybe that's important, maybe its not.

how can i have "more" therapy im already in therapy and they just say "yeah youre doing good" and ask me if i want to increase or lower my dose

If your therapist thinks you are doing good, and you are not, in fact, actually doing good. Then that's misreporting of what you're going through or a supremely lovely therapist.

Best bet is to make a chart for each week and when you feel like utter poo poo mark it in the chart (plus maybe note if it's like, ideation, anhedonia, etc.), and then just hand the chart to ur therapist

Either that or your meds take a while to kick in, or you have other undiagnosed problems

and before you go "but when I up my dosage I feel dead inside" I can confirm that it sucks less to feel kinda deadened than it is to be a NEET and feel like a failure all the time

If you are dead inside please discuss that with your clinician/psychologist, because antidepressants are not supposed to make you feel like that
