It probably does have something to do with school size, perhaps my class wasn't big enough to support the distinct cliques required (graduating class ~20).

Single core is a lot worse than I remembered. I had booted up my wife's college desktop with a P4 in it. Pretty unusable experience, I eventually gave up on trying to reinstall Windows before giving it away.

Tangential, but I found one of my favorite books on a thread related to this topic, so I thought I would pass on the favor. Vernor Vinge's _A Fire Upon The Deep_ is based on the premise that physics changes throughout the galaxy. The i

That's assuming it works correctly the first time (I haven't had that experience often, even for "trivial" code :( ). Even for "run once" functions, I still use a few tests to develop them and make sure my expe

Yep, any time I have an assumption about how code should work, that's a good starting point to write a test. Even if it's vaguey like "should not throw when given inputs X Y Z that I expect will be encountered"

Related to sibling comment, is the halting problem an issue if you just allow expressions without recursion/loops? Along the lines of constexpr in C++.

I "hear text" as I read, but I'm not sure how it would affect how I tried handling that paragraph. The "voice" is generally monotonic, but I do glance back to reference words (especially because I didn't notice

Thinking about it further it only affects one lookup direction. Name -> Face is incredibly difficult for me, but Face -> Name is a lot easier (and really the reason I didn't need to worry as much as I did).

More float time before becoming homeless. You already have the toiletries and food staples for the next 3 months, so you can focus money towards that rent payment and job interviews. Not sure what "stuff" the parent was referring

From a quick google, unity builds are akin to #include-ing every file in the project (yes, the .cpp files too).
