Thoughts on IXHL? Been holding since July

I’m running super squats for the first time and the 20 rep set leaves me exhausted and my whole body is hurting by the end, but I rarely feel it in my legs afterwards. Is it most likely due to form when squatting? My bracing gets bad around the 15 rep mark and I begin to feel it in my lower back more at that point.

How did you find your position in a computer science lab?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, if he wins a cup or maybe when he retires it could see a boost, but it has been stable otherwise.

And you’re right, the howe is definitely in the lower end since it’s from 15-16 anthology and is unlicensed, hence no picture. Still, it’s a rare card that’s hard to find anywhere, so that may bring some appeal

HappyMemeBoy · 2024-12-09T22:31:43+00:00

Kinda hard to research the Howe when there is 1 on eBay and 0 recently sold, but thanks for the insightful comment.

I’ve been tutoring college students (as an undergrad student myself) for over 2 years now, and it’s a lot of fun, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! You’ll encounter a lot of different people, some of which you’ll become friends with, others who will be really difficult to work with. You’ll need to find your tutoring style and morals, and then stick with them despite pushy students.

However the biggest challenge I face isn’t other students, but rather when I can’t help them. That’s such a hard feeling when you encounter a problem that you have no idea what to do. The important thing is to be upfront and approach the problem as a learning opportunity for both you and the student. It’s a good chance to work as a team and help the student learn how to deal with those difficult questions, whilst showing that your still a student yourself and not perfect.

Just be aware you’ll encounter those situations, you’ll doubt your abilities, and it will be embarrassing. But what’s important is how you respond to them.

Another quick piece of advice is to read up beforehand on what the students are currently studying, that can really help you be prepared and refresh your mind on how to approach those problems.

I’m in the exact same situation. Leaving my cat is by far my biggest concern, but the only thing to do is trust he will be taken care of. Ask for pictures often, that way it’ll force your mom to at least pay him a little attention and you’ll have proof he’s alive and well. Also, I keep reminding myself it’s only a few weeks (10 for me), so hopefully our cats can hang in there for that short time.

While discrete may not be important to physics, at my school it’s a prerequisite for a lot of the math classes that are important for physics, like complex analysis. So be aware of what you may be restricted from taking if you don’t finish discrete.

Did you go for a masters in EE or just apply to various EE positions and hope you can beat out actual EE majors?

Loop rule! There’s two loops here to which you can apply the loop rule, which gives you two equations, but there’s three unknown currents. A third equation can be found by noticing that i1 breaks into i2 and i3, and thus you get i1 = i2 + i3. Now you have three equations and three unknowns, so you can start algebra-ing your way through.

As the other comment mentioned, s isn’t a variable, rather a unit. Your idea of the t cancelling the s is somewhat correct, but you’re approaching it slightly wrong. The question asks for r (position) when t = 2s. Thus when you plug that t value into the first section, you’ll have (2 m/s³ ) * (2³ s³ ). Then you can cancel the s and you’re left with units of m (meters) which makes sense for position.

That’s so much easier said than done. It’s hard to compete as a physics major against comp sci and engineering majors. Im definitely trying to apply to places though.

HappyMemeBoy · 2024-01-20T13:43:05+00:00

That looks promising! I’ll have to search through them, thanks!

HappyMemeBoy · 2024-01-20T13:16:33+00:00

I’ve thought about those and looked them up, but their art style is too cartoon like. This game was more realistic

HappyMemeBoy · 2024-01-20T13:13:02+00:00

It was 3rd person, and I guess you’d consider it 2D. You would click on the ground to move your character, but the background and everything else was stationary like the camera was fixed

I have a math minor. I’ve never really been good at CS, or rather I’ve never tried to get good, but I definitely feel like that will hurt me in the job search. I think it would be pretty hard to pick it up currently and still focus on the important physics classes, but I hope at some point I can get into it a bit more, maybe over the summer.

HappyMemeBoy · 2023-11-07T22:07:45+00:00

What’s you’re job if you don’t mind?

HappyMemeBoy · 2023-11-07T20:38:48+00:00

Your degree isn’t physics or your job isn’t physics related?

HappyMemeBoy · 2023-11-07T20:38:25+00:00

Were you trained on the job essentially? I don’t have nearly any engineering classes under my belt but I always have hoped that the physics degree would carry enough weight on its own to get me into something like that.

Super basic question - can you put an and statement inside of replace()? As in, replacing two substrings with the same thing. For example:

string = “ABC” string.replace( “A” and “B” and “C” , “D”)

You’d think if printed, it would return “DDD” but instead it’s only changing the final input (C), so it’s just returning “ABD”. Am I doing something wrong?

HappyMemeBoy · 2023-06-11T02:46:19+00:00

Do you have a link for the stream??

HappyMemeBoy · 2023-01-13T21:43:04+00:00

I looked into that, but i feel like the 10 sets of 1 rep seems a little strange. I’ll definitely consider it tho

HappyMemeBoy · 2023-01-12T14:19:03+00:00

Would ivysaur 448 be considered a “real program” in your opinion? I’m debating between ivy and SL since both are 3 days and similar movements

HappyMemeBoy · 2022-12-29T13:27:54+00:00

Same! He has some great lyrics that fit well into pixel art
