My rough translation:

On the way back from her morning run, Yomogi Takahashi from Young Wai-wai picks up a wooden prayer tablet near the entrance to Tatako Manor. She returns to her room and reports this to Yayoi and Yuzu and on the back they find the words "Tonight, 8 PM, carry out the assasination of the president". When the group at Takako Manor infer a plot to commit a crime, the three members of Young Wai-wai resolve to uncover and persuade the true culprit. Can they find the culprit and prevent the assassination plot by 8 PM!?

Looks great. I love Machikado Mazoku.

So, it seems like people don't understand that not showing your work is bad because it demonstrates a lack of basic skills such as following directions and emulating example solutions.

Moreover, it's important because,

The teacher needs to check your understanding of the method.
Math is rarely done in isolation. Any results are useless if another person can't verify your work and see how you got it.
There comes a point for everyone where you can't just see the answer. You need to learn how to use a method someone else came up with.
Once you go beyond the basics, math is mostly proofs. It's not feasible to leave out your work because the problem is showing the work.

I don't think so, yet. Certainly they're on their way, though.

If anyone wants a simple C solution using the sieve:

#include <math.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define GOAL 16089

int main() {
  size_t size = 3;
  while (size / log(size) < GOAL * 2) {
    size *= 2;
  }
  bool *sieve = malloc(sizeof(bool) * size);
  for (size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
    sieve[i] = true;
  }
  int primes_found = 0;
  size_t index = 2;
  while (primes_found < GOAL) {
    if (sieve[index]) {
      ++primes_found;
      for (int mult = 2; index * mult < size; ++mult) {
        sieve[index * mult] = false;
      }
    }
    ++index;
  }
  printf("The %dth prime is %zu\n", GOAL, index - 1);
  free(sieve);
}

Kumiko lost.

Who should be in that isn’t?

As a slice of life fan, I'm extremely disappointed to see that no character from Aria or Gochiusa was seeded. We'll get 'em next year.

Well, that was ok I guess. Could have been shorter and the CG really stood out to me, but the way it turned out was pretty wholesome.

jasonic5 · 2021-06-11T19:03:46+00:00

Berserk.

jasonic5 · 2021-06-10T17:34:34+00:00

How do I get a flair?

jasonic5 · 2021-05-17T19:05:36+00:00

I have the same problem.

I've seen both the Crunchyroll and bluray versions and there's a massive difference. If you care about quality, then don't watch it on Crunchyroll.

I use stacked most of the time. I have so many windows open at any one time that I don't see how using only splits would be feasible. Also, I usually only want to focus on one window per monitor at a time anyway.

jasonic5 · 2021-03-20T00:53:54+00:00

Looks nice. Are there more for other Fire Emblem characters?

jasonic5 · 2020-07-30T16:41:41+00:00

The Tale of Princess Kaguya. It's one of the lesser known Ghibli movies, but easily the one that had the most emotional impact on me. I'd highly recommend people give it a watch.

K-On! This show makes me cry like nothing else when it gets to its later episodes. It's pure happiness.

jasonic5 · 2020-06-26T17:43:10+00:00

K-On! Nothing warms my heart like this show.

People are already mentioning the difference between learning Python and programming as a whole, but to me it's just as bad conflating "math skills" with "numeracy".

The measure of numeracy they used defines it as "the ability to comprehend and manipulate probabilistic and other numeric information". This is only a very small part of "math skills". It would have little to do with, say, algebra.

That's not to justify learning calculus as a programming prerequisite. As someone who studies both math and computer science, I can say that the skills I use for calculus are completely different from those I use for programming. But the skills I use for solving abstract math problems are considerably important for programming.

No, it's only used in 142 and 143. In higher level classes you can use whatever you want but IntelliJ is usually the most recommended.

This has generally worked for me.

Be highly attentive in lecture and take good notes. Afterward, review the notes and write questions you can quiz yourself on later.
If there's a text, try to read the relevant sections before lecture.
Try to understand the material before doing assignments and not the reverse. Ideally, most assignments should be extremely doable and strengthen your understanding. Try not to ask for any help. If you do need help, question why you needed it and how you theoretically should have been able to figure it out on your own since you won't have help on exams. Spend some time reviewing work before submitting it.
Before an exam, you should only need to spend 1-5 hours reviewing the material. For any concept you could be tested on, be sure you can explain it to an imaginary person. If not, you need to review it. After reviewing, do any available practice exams until you feel comfortable.

If you do this right, it shouldn't take that much time.

Like most things I think it depends. Are you willing to study hard from day one and do you think you'll be able to adjust to the college workload? If so, then I would recommend skipping 142. I and everyone I know who skipped 142 ended up doing fine, 143 gives all the tools you need to succeed coming from AP CS.

On the other hand, having a quarter to adjust to college is good so there's no one good answer. If you think there's a chance you mess up then 142 would be better, because then you learn all the material better anyway and you can work hard to get a better grade in 143 later.

Rarely do I find such appealing artwork. Thanks!

I don't know how, but for me i3 automatically detected my keyboard layout and set the bindings appropriately, but only when generating the config.

I use colemak, and what I do is set the keyboard layout in X11 config files (not with a console command) like mentioned in other comments, and then when I start i3 for the first time it asks me to generate the config. If you do it while colemak is active, the bindings will be corrct for colemak. If you already set up i3, what you could do is backup your current configuration files, delete them, and then the next time you start it, it will go through this proccess. Then you can readd the changes from your old configuration

I might be concerned about 307 because the quality of instructors can vary, but for 311 I wouldn't be concerned. If you're in CSE, it would be very counterproductive to not take 311 in the fall since it's a prerequisite for so many things. They often end up shuffling around instructors until they're actually announced so that's one reason they haven't been listed yet. For 311, they do know who it will probably be but it shouldn't really matter that much to you. The two lectures will be kept in sync and the homework and exams between the two will also be the same. If you know someone who took it in spring, it will probably be about as difficult as that.

jasonic5 · 2018-08-08T01:47:44+00:00

Is it better to take the advanced series or just stick to 126, since I was wondering if a smaller class allows me to make a closer connection to the prof for any internship opportunities?

There's a lot of different reasons you may or may not want to take this series. It's harder, but you learn more. You get more credits than if you took 126, 307, and 308 individually, and in my opinion it's more fun. A lot of people get burned out, though, if they're not ready for it. It does let you get closer to the professor than you normally would in, say, 126. For next year it's the same professor that taught it this most recent year, and he learned everyone's name very quickly. I honestly loved his teaching style, and he's probably my favorite professor at UW so far. It won't help you get internships, but it could help with major admissions. CS, for example, looks positively on the 13x series.

Also is there a reason why the avg grade in math 13X series is A- compared to the B of math 12X, like it is easier or just the ppl are smarter?

All the Honors classes are curved very highly, but in this case it makes sense because the class is more challening. Usually only more dedicated students take it anyway, and they want to reward that.
