The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

yes I just found it surprising that people majoring in CS either don’t know or can’t be bothered to put the effort into programming. what I’ve learned is not to go too far with helping especially when it start negatively impacting your own work which was my problem in the end, unless of course your in a group project end up writing the entire thing yourself which was fun.

Absolutely, it’s like, I know i’ve been doing this for now 11 years, i started very young, so i don’t expect the same quality of work from someone who started 3 to 4 years ago, but i do expect something. None of which except for one man (a vet who only learned to program in the last 2 years) met that expectation, he will go far in this field as he has drive and the attitude of a problem solver.
Which both he and I were the only reason that our last group project was a success.
2 out of 6 people…
I swear it was nuts

I would have gone to the professor and been like “Were the only two who are doing any work. Can we just be in a group ourselves?”


@SEP feel free to invite people. Nothing wrong with making the place more lively

I sorta tried this but the professor said it had to be a group project and I was the only person doing anything so yeah. In other group projects they were instances when this happened a lot.

He and i both weren’t interested in pursuing any recourse of that like, since that would probably open up a dispute with the Dean considering one of our members has blood ties… not exactly the easiest situation.

other than din i can’t think of anyone atm, haven’t talked to trucker in a while and Aremis is already here.
and TK dropped off the planet.

Well yeah, that’s understandable.

They aren’t too autistic, no more than me at least, yet i’m the extreme in my friend group so if that’s any consolation :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice QEMU now sees my 1700 as an EYPC CPU instead of an Opteron, it also doesn’t freak out if I assign threads anymore too :smiley:

I’ve written the whole outline for the epic. I should be sleepy but thanks to the energy drink I had at 07 00 ET I’m very alert and awake at 18 34 ET.

Spoiler Poll?
The Spoiler in context:

In the epic I’m writing. I’m consider starting it with a question. The question is: How do you tell a girl her Father is dead?
Now the first 5 chapters follow a man who will be raising this girl. This girl is the main character of the story. Now with that out of the way. If the story started with that question would you keep reading?

  • Yes
  • No
  • It would depend on the next sentence.

Could be interesting but starting off strong and finishing weak is not always the best of options.
