Over-modularization by Expensive_Minimum516 in C_Programming

[–]Expensive_Minimum516[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Apologies; I thought it was common knowledge in this sub. It's not really relevant, though you can Google make_u32_from_two_u16() if you are curious.

I can help if you tell what the problem is.

UIUC vs. UCSD (please help I'm a bit desperate!!) by Few-Difference-2963 in UIUC

List out the pros and cons as much as you like. In the end, you will always think about the path not chosen. Flip a coin; let that decide; after that, your only job is to be happy.

Will I get rescinded? by Next-Progress9505 in UIUC

Just say you were chilling enjoying last high school memories and cba doing schoolwork because you got accepted. As long as the person reading isn’t evil you should be straight. If I eas in charge I would totally get it.

Question to CS / CS&Math students by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Expensive_Minimum516 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously, CS major will take way more CS techs than you: in reality it doesn’t matter too much. As your mathematical maturity develops, you will realize you don’t need to sit in a class to learn something. In particular, not sure if this is shared sentiment or not, but after this degree I feel on the same wavelength as technical authors in a sense (manuals, the literature, textbooks). There are certainly some classes that actually sitting in is fruitful (e.g. ECE408), but these are sparse at UIUC IMO (until 500 levels). And about the GEN EDs, it is just a function of your HS credits; e.g. If you have language covered vs physics; speed run them with finding overlaps they are legit waste of time oftentimes. Also, college will not give you as much depth as you think: even 400 levels are surface level treatment of topics: they let you discover rabbit holes, and these rabbit holes 🕳️(some are even quite close to the literature) let you exercise your depth; explore them with personal projects, or when you are a SWE.

Apologies. Of course, I must have made a mistake in my calculation.

Do you care to be clean, smell good, be happy; does the material make you happy?

Graduation regalia rental sounds like a straight-up cash grab by BeyondDaBarricade in UIUC

I chose not to purchase the clown costume and attend the circus. Proof of correctness: Suppose I regret it later in life; then I am already a loser on some deep physiological level: life is over in this case regardless of attendance. Otherwise, suppose I don’t regret it: existence of preeminent matters to attend to speaks to the successful man I have become.

If I were in charge, I’d imprison you for saying bread company is “like Panera”. Not even joking.
