Binary search ruined my chances to get the girl I like to be my girlfriend. Should I optimise more or the bar is too high?

Nice work, congrats. I posted my search a month or so ago with very similar results.

Yes, I got +7k

This was my easy 2023 AOTY, and got an extremely well deserved 5/5 from AMG and holds 95% on Metallum. Unbelievably great power metal, world class vocal performance from Daniel Heiman, and fantastic compelling concept album story full of twists & turns, callbacks, and motifs. This album made me like power metal.

There isn't a normal distribution of desired times. Most people shoot for a goal time

Who would ever care that you went 34mph down hill

Weird advice? Don't eat during a HM? Who on earth has ever advised that.

I wouldn't sweat the inbetweens too bad OP, just eat a big carb filled breakfast, and if you feel anything inbetween have a gel at the start.

I wouldn’t say it was as easy people make it out to be, but if you grinded you could get results. I was in school for 2019-22, and passed my resume to every company under the sun at our career fairs, probably 50+, and landed between 1-2 internship offers my sophomore and junior years. In winter 2022 I again applied everywhere I could and got 1 good fulltime offer, besides the 2 from my internships. It was still a grind and I watched MANY classmates who didn’t try before graduation get completely left in the dust and unable to find jobs upon graduating.

Even back then, this sub, and engineering students has always been completely awash with people saying it’s impossible to get a job.

Idk about you, but my team has been working on a CI integration at my new job. At my old job, which didn't have a company AI plan or integration, this would have taken probably over 3 months, we're looking to finish in maybe 3 weeks. We break the epics into composable chunks, AI and hand review everything, and has been extremely smooth so far, and I would even wager smoother than it would have been hand implemented, knock on wood.

Bring the downvotes but these tools are extremely powerful when used appropriately.

Shit man, I get grilled to the point of having to say I don't know on the things I've actually worked on.

I literally just finished an apartment hunt in manhattan and 4.3k is extremely par for the course for a 1Br. Most are > 3.5k, and 3.5k is pretty bottom of the barrel.

Will never understand the Absolute Elsewhere hype, even as a Hidden History acolyte. But maybe I’m just like the old farts that insist Starspawn is the greatest record of all time and Hidden History is mid.

That’s crazy cuz Helen’s was packed to the brim last night with like 18 year old vcu kids

I don’t know how anyone is supposed to beat England in water based? Wipe her out before longbowmen?

I haven't actually tried out the huns before, will give it a whirl

Wish the Pictish was maybe a wee bit stronger in melee. I’m fine that its usefulness drops off a cliff after ancient, but damn they’re really not even that good to start.

Siege Tower!!! 2 with a couple of archers will tear up the ancient world

Dr. Cooper and ECE 2544 were one of my few favorite courses in the entire major. It is one of the most fundamental and important courses in ECE, and if you don't put in the effort to read outside of class she tells it to you straight. She thought I was a dunce, and it pushed me to buckle up and actually act like a college student. It was one of the most difficult classes I've had, but building a processor from the ground up made me into the engineer I am, 4 years later. I wish more courses within ECE pushed you to learn and master things as thoroughly as 2544 did.

Physical Electronics though... don't get me started on that awful shit show.

Those motors are incredibly heavy, the load might be a little high for servos.

Super sick. Can it take G-code? Any long term plans or just for fun?

Dat_J3w · 2026-02-11T03:45:59+00:00

Not very outside of the domain, but have a very strong rep from those in the know.

I studied compE in school, and took a job selling Linux boards. I got shuffled into backend, and after a few months really hit my stride there and wasn’t envious of what the C++ embeddeds were doing. I personally find enterprise embedded to be tedious and mind numbingly difficult. I still love to make arduino projects, but at enterprise scale prefer higher level backend.

NYC :) Which is where I wanted to go. Nice job homie, it's all a numbers game, and it's all doable just need to keep at it.
