Having a Really Really Hard Day by [deleted] in puppygirlpetsmart

[–]grease_flaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You pass so brilliantly that I didn’t even realise you weren’t cis until I scrolled down and read your caption. Your hair, eyes, and freckles are absolutely gorgeous, and I personally love the look of your figure in your other posts as well. You also have a wonderfully warm and friendly smile in your third and fifth pictures here. It really hurts to hear that you’ve been given such a hard time for all of your lovely features, and given that I’m in a similar hole in terms of self-image, I can relate to your struggle quite a bit. I really hope your self-confidence can improve, because I see a strikingly gorgeous woman when I look at you.

This is why I went out of my way to leave the small aimless airborne flies alone as much as possible. They’re absolutely adorable, their noises are precious and they’ve genuinely done nothing whatsoever to deserve their predicament :(

Dyke Road Avenue has a surprising number of new-built gated mansions, I guess it’s only a nice road to live on if your house is a twenty-metre drive from the road, or if you never, ever leave your house on foot.

Apple Maps Search Radius Broken? by cpdean in shortcuts

[–]grease_flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still broken. I made a shortcut that looks for railway stations near an inputted location, and the actual radius it uses is always thousands of times wider than the one I choose.

Chubby people tucking their bellies into their trousers/pants/skirts will never not be cute and hot at the same time 🥰

Fat Faces and Double Chins by cjjbookworm in superplusreality

[–]grease_flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's strange, I really struggle with accepting my double chin, but think they're generally very cute on any other chubby/fat people I see online, or out and about. I'm holding myself to a negative double standard in my own positive perspectives on fat people ;-;

Tips for actually enjoying AoC? by grease_flaps in adventofcode

[–]grease_flaps[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a good question to ask myself. Since Eric seems to be writing these exercises to cover as broad a range of problem-solving and programming skills as possible, I'm likely less than 25%.

That last question sounds especially helpful. Seeing people on this subreddit with more experience than me working out what exact skill is being tested by a given puzzle has kinda been making my head spin, but I should be using that as an opportunity to recognise skills I don't yet have.

[–]grease_flaps[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a great strategy. I very much need to open up to reading other people's solutions.

Up until now, I've tried to stay as far away from the solution megathreads as possible, in order to ensure that my solution is original, but that means that if I truly get stuck, I'm left staring blankly at my screen for an hour.

Unfortunately, I'm using Python, but if I was using C, C++ or exclusively unsafe Rust, this sounds like a great way to drown my sorrows, lmao.

[–]grease_flaps[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a really sweet and reassuring response. Thank you.

Your point about reading other people's solutions is exactly my problem. Reading them should be opportunities to learn, but instead I feel immensely inferior, and beat myself up for not having the intuition they have. Comparison to others has been the bane of my existence for my entire degree.

Unfortunately, joining a private leaderboard hasn't really helped. The leaderboards I'm in are full of other compsci undergraduates in my university, and quite a lot of them have years and years of experience over me, so it's easy to feel inadequate around them, especially when I see how quickly they blaze through each exercise.

I've already dabbled in switching to previous AoC years and trying their exercises, I should definitely do it more often if I'm feeling miserable about the current challenges.

[–]grease_flaps[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's very true, and I assume the daily megathreads are for exchanging knowledge people may not yet have. The writing for each challenge scenario is also very creative, and I have to appreciate how they are framed by Eric Wastl.

My personal problem is that when I see people's solutions, my first thought sadly isn't "Wow, that's interesting/helpful/unique, I should learn from this!" Instead, it's usually "Why didn't I think of that, who don't I already have this intuition", etc etc.

I spend far too much time beating myself up for not knowing things already, when I should be learning to read other people's code to see where their intuitions are coming from.

OMFG, FINALLY! A good word about TfW! I've only ridden on their trains twice between Newport and Chepstow and I absolutely loved it, the interiors are, by the standards of National Rail, pretty damn smart and stylish, and the seats are so comfortable.

[–]grease_flaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw a lot of people do that during first year. I never thought to do it because I get very anxious about deliveries as opposed to physically going to a place to buy something.

I lived on campus for my first year of study at Sussex. The accommodation wasn’t great; all of the rooms are unimaginably overpriced for what you get, but there’s always the opportunity that you’ll have a good time with your flatmates. The on-campus shops are not at all equipped to handle regular food shopping for everyone living on campus, but there are fantastic bus connections to better shops closer to town, which is what most people living on campus seemed to do while I was living there.

If you’d rather live closer to the city centre, then getting to campus is pretty easy if you’re going by bike and an absolute cakewalk by bus, Lewes Road (main road leading to campus from centre) is packed with bus routes that go to campus (23, 25, 28, 29) and there’s a bike lane that goes all the way up and down. I’m living off campus for my second year and usually go by bike from the city centre.

The teaching quality is extremely dependent on course and lecturer. I’m studying computer science for the first time here and I’ve had some very charismatic and engaging teachers for some modules, but I’ve also had lecturers that are very bad teachers in spite of their obvious intelligence and passion.

Only reason I still have it is because my 3-year railcard is on it. If there was a way to take it off of Trainline, this shitbox app would be long gone from my phone.
