Most efficient way to catch up:

Ask fellow students for help. If you are part of social groups with more senior students, then ask them too.

I... HATE doing this... I really really do.

If I could in any way, shape or form just work extra hard to get it done instead, I would.

... But it IS still the most efficient way to keep up, sadly :s

It's only the third week of semester and I'm already kinda struggling—

Someone please tell me not to eat things out of spite that make your disability worse (currently having a flare and planning efficient lecture skips for tomorrow and also internally crying)

Nuclear costs far far far more than any other green energy production. And that is without calculating storage of the waste in. Because our plan for how to store it is: " We do not have any", so we cannot budget it, exept "SUPER expensive"

We have so far build 0 long term storage facilities for nuclear fuel. We store 100% of all nuclear waste ever produced in temporary storages.

Why would you use lithium batteries for grid storage? Lithium batteries are good because of their weight to storage ratio, which does not matter for grid storage.

If you build ONLY wind power, you would need to produce many times more power than your peak need in order to make sure to produce enough for when the wind is not blowing much in large area... and it would STILL be cheaper than nuclear. And we are NOT doing that. We are mixing every kind of renewable, combined with harvested hydrogen.

Nuclear power plants exist to produce neclear material for weapons. That is why governments are willing to pay more money for less power. Nothing more.

its so fucking funny that nuclear waste is such a contentious topic. like yeah those damn nuclear advocates need to figure out somewhere reasonable to put that nuclear waste. for now we will  be sticking with coal power because it puts its waste products safe and sound In Our Lungs, where they cannot hurt anybody,

Meandering thoughts.... part 1

Authers note: Got high wrote what I was thinking. Be warned:

Got my code reviewed, and passed, at work.

And when testing the temperature sensor I had made a driver for… I was getting questions about why it could not measure anything bellow 0.

Which I could easily answer with "Because I told it to".

Because I was told to send the data out in fullscale… which I was told are simply a 14 bit representation of the temprature from a minimum to a maximum.

And the minimum for this sensor, was 0. So I clamped the values: if ( temperature > maximum) { temperature = maximum} else if (temperature < minimum) { temperature =minimum}

Turns out… that is not correct. The full-scale simply is the very weird way we say what a bit means. Normally like this "Each LSB ( least significant bit ) represent 0.0634 degrees celsius" So if the sensor returns 1000, you go: 63.4 = 1000 * 0.0634;

So what I HAD to encode the number as was that constant, but on 16 bit, in signed form.

Now… that is my bad. I did not understand a thing, and did not ask for an explanation… And the ones I got from the intro to the codebase was "its fullscale", and I did not have access to documentation.

BUT! The guy who DID know this, reviewed my code…

So why, oh why, did he not see the the function clearly marked "Claimping values" in there and then tell me it was wrong?

This review process is by the way partly for SECURITY! If giant breaks in business logic is not found, what do you think the chance is that a security issue is found? My guess is 0%

Remember. Tech companies being competent, is a myth. Companies are teenagers showing up for a presentation in history class still drunk from an all night kegger, just making up whatever stories they make up on the spot… except everyone in the class will lose their income, and have their life stability ripped away from them if they don't tell the company that they are absolutely right and are getting a A+.
