I wish I could buy it but I just can't. I made a promise to my wallet.

Also congrats on that interview.

I'm doing my Data Structures homework right now (high five @ standardtoaster standardtoaster we're taking similar courses)

And I'm increasingly convinced that I have no idea how to program anything

I just type things and they don't work, and then I retype them enough times until they do work

It's like one of those infinite monkeys things, except I'm just one monkey and I have a deadline

Welcome to the wonderful world of Programming. Really, the important thing isn't that you get a degree, it's that you learn how computers are eldritch things that, when you've hammered at them enough, suddenly turn out to be logical entities with obvious solutions.

Does Helsong need to tutor a *****?
I'm not actually going to be tutoring anyone, I get enough of that everyday. Also, plagiarism kid scares the hell of me and I think I'm gonna ask the Prof to do it.

There's a reason why there's a THEN and a NOW there though. People now want openworld games that don't feel empty with LOTS of content and things to do with multiplayer with dedicated servers, endless support and some other ****. Add the fact that better technology also means that models become higher-poly, with 4k textures and lots of other stuff. That's A LOT OF MONEY the devs have to spend.

And still, people don't want to pay for all of that, which is what triggered the F2P fever. Games without entry-price but with paywalls, pay-to-win and other crap because obviously they need to make money.

DLC is what made premium-based developers stay in business, and still they don't earn anywhere near to the freemium devs.

And now I ask you this: why, then, don't they go the freemium way?

I remember some years back there was an article posted on Reddit where a game dev said games are too expensive, and everyone in the comments were agreeing saying that they need to be cheaper, how Steam sales causes them to buy more, and how it's ridiculous that developers ask for $60 for a buggy game that's filled with DLC

Which just shows how people make an opinion based on the title of the article alone, because he was referring to the cost of development. People ask for so much but only want to spend $60 on it, when the only way it could make a profit is if they sold it for $90. He also made some points about inflation and the like

I mean, the real problem is that I'm having to use C# for the first time (which is okay because C# is pretty neat) but I haven't used C++ for like over a year and even then I just kind of BS'd my way through it. I just have to re-familiarize myself with how this **** in general is supposed to function. In concept this assignment is super easy, but I need to remember syntax and all that stuff about how the most basic stuff is supposed to work.

The last language I used was some weird language nobody uses that basically uses reverse reverse Polish notation for everything. I mean, what the actual ****?

Ugh, sounds like a pain for sure. Having to re-learn a language sucks so hard. At least it's something like C++ and not something weird and un-intuitive.
What's the assignment about?

What data structure are you having to do?
Click to expand...
All I need to do is implement classes for array-based queues, linked-list-based queues, and deques using a doubly-linked list. They give me a skeleton of the classes and a suite of unit tests that'll check the implementation.

Obviously I can't use the builtin collection classes to do that. So, theoretically pretty simple, since I just need to fill in the method bodies and run the unit tests. But it's been long enough that even the simple **** I'm like "oh wait how's that supposed to work?"

Pretty much. Last quarter when we were using that dumb language was really annoying. It was an easy class, but doing the assignments was basically 5 minutes of coding and 30 minutes of looking up syntax.

Ooooh, Queues! My third favorite structure. Yeah, that doesn't sound horrible, but not knowing the language will be a major stumbling block. Having a pointer to the end of the list(or at least some way to access it) will help immensely, if you don't have that already, although if they're already given you a skeleton implementation, I'd imagine you're stuck with that, instead of being allowed to build your own.

Hopefully it'll get done.

Since it's due noon tomorrow.

It's okay though, I've bought a bunch of caffeine just in case.




Also there's the fact that I can't install Visual Studio on my desktop since my C drive is a tiny tiny SSD and VS insists on having like 4 GB on the C drive no matter what. So I have it installed on my laptop and I'm using my laptop remotely from my desktop so that I can have multiple monitors and use my mechanical keyboard easily.

Honestly, some of my most productive times have been right up against a deadline. As long as I'm well-rested and that's the only thing I have to do, coding a full assignment is a matter of sitting down for a few hours and just going at it.
Really, coding is only like 20% of the effort. It's all the research and prep that takes the other 80%.
Go get em, CS padawan.

All of your methods aside from the array-based queue are going to rely on a Node class. The nodes will need a way to keep track of what node is next, what node is previous, and what the node contains. Everything else after that like Linked Lists and such shouldn't be too hard because you're basically just keeping track of what needs to point to what.

So I've been watching the dub of KLK not knowing that the rest hasn't been released yet (I started yesterday, and I'm already awaiting Episodes 20-24). Luckily, the full series is releasing in five days!

...unluckily, I don't have the money to get it. And my mom is SUPER religious so of course she won't get it for me (and honestly it's an awkward topic anyway).

I don't know if I should just watch the sub or wait till it gets dumped on the net. What do Social Thread :c?

I need some thoughts from the great minds of the PMS.
How does a state, that is so tiny that you can get anywhere in an hour, have a North, South, and Central region?
Like seriously, why the **** is that a thing?
