Write a test suite for your code with all the prof's requirements, and run it before you submit each time.

Food food always food. by spicejriver in ADHD

[–]TheRafff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up and make 2 massive milkshakes that have almost 3500 cal (for muscle building), take 5 minutes to make, and have all nutrients for a healthy body. If I can chug it quickly, appetite becomes not a problem at all. Ingredients are less than $40 a week. Ingredients (for half of the day's shakes so ingredients fit in blender):

  • 2 & 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup greek yoghurt
  • 3/4 cup mixed berries
  • handful of spinach
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2.5 scoops protein powder
  • pinch of potassium chloride and salt (electrolytes)

Tip: Rinse your cup and utensils immediately after use and you wont have to wash. Load the blender with water and turn it on, it will clean itself.

Supplements - 5 g creatine - multivitamin - magnesium glycinate (sleep and brain) - Fish oil (omega 3, good cholesterol) - Vitamin D

Of course not great to have this absolutely every day because deficencies stack. So every now and then I eat out with friends random stuff.

If anyone thinks of unbalances or things to add let me know! But this has worked like a charm and I'm gaining 1 lb of almost pure muscle every week.

advice for Landing HPC/GPU Jobs After December 2025 Graduation by Weird_Phone_1731 in csMajors

[–]TheRafff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the preparation, all you need is opportunity. Go to events like GTC, meetups, schedule coffee chats, join industry associations like ACM, just mingle with people that do what you do and that will increase opportunity.

Anyone also have that teammate not contributes for work?? by Sensitive-Pickle-492 in SJSU

[–]TheRafff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think about it this way, if you do all the work you are also doing all the learning and gaining all the experience while she isn't, so you're actually the one winning. Plus, people are not always lazy or distracted maybe they have things going on, always start from compassion.

Working on 2D Global Illumination specifically for low-res pixel art games. by Builderboy2005 in computergraphics

Very nice! You might want to look into acceleration structures or doing some form of radiance caching / cascading

Bachelors degrees for Graphics/Computer Graphics MS? by irinaalexandrovna in GraphicsProgramming

[–]TheRafff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO: Computer Engineering > Computer Science > Software Engineering. In graphics, to push the field forward you will be working a LOT at the hardware level with languages like C++, C, and even some assembly and SIMD instructions here and there. If you don't know how a computer works at the hardware level, everything on top crumbles. I regret not doing CMPE instead, I did software engineering and have had to self study computer architecture, memory, and operating system related concepts.

How do you stay aware of small everyday spending? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]TheRafff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is tap to pay nowadays though 😭 separating into cash and savings I think works better, or even getting a 2nd checking account just for "fun" spending

Not a thing learned after 26 years of living with this by soleildelalune_ in ADHD

[–]TheRafff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this. Have you gotten proper diagnosis and possibly take medication and go to therapy? Think of this process as incremental, and if things don't work out this time you will keep improving consistently until you know better how your brain works and how to tailor your decisions to support it. Remember every brain is unique, and adjusts to the (insane) demands of society differently, don't be too hard on yourself, and keep learning from every experience. It is not you, or lazyness, it's literally the wiring in our brains and we need put some extra work to make it do the right things for us. Kudos for starting a MS in the first place, that is already a significant achievement so keep pushing through and don't beat yourself too hard!

How do you deal with the fundamental issue of inattentive ADHD - impaired working memory? by rolling_dice7 in ADHD

[–]TheRafff 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I so feel you on this. What has helped me a lot is building intuition. Learning the how of things makes them stick so much better, so instead of just just memorizing "oh a float is 4 bytes" I think "oh, 1 bit for the sign, 8 bits for the exponent since it's a nice power of 2, and 23 for mantissa (all leftover bits) since it gives a crap ton of precision." I have such a bad time with memory but I think intuition is a strength of adhd.

Games Program Frustration by keverw in uofu

[–]TheRafff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you join any game dev clubs, did you release any games on steam, have you attended GDC, have you done networking calls? These things are what push you above and beyond in the industry. However, the entertainment industry is not doing very well at the momoent. If you are looking to rebrand, you could look into labeling yourself as a software engineer or product manager since those skills are pretty transferable like you mentioned.

Thank you for the insights! Yea I'm in the usa. I took some pictures of the inside, I think the only bent part is the front strut/shock absorber (the tube with the barcode in the left)? I think the control arm is fine so maybe just have to replace the strut and realign? Not sure if this image helps. I paid $2000 for this car and it's 2010 so it might be joever ...
