This is kinda hard
This is probably the latest I've sent out one of these. Honestly speaking, I'm surprised I've kept it up. Last week was a whirlwind of work; I had an assignment for CPSC 508 where my task was to reproduce some results from a research paper. The paper I chose naturally only allowed artifacts to be built on Windows, because that's the operating system any self-respecting Big Businessman™ uses. Thus began my hellish descent into madness.
It wasn't that bad. I installed a Windows partition on my Mac and built the binaries. Then I uploaded them to a public repository, because fuck installing a proprietary operating system for all that (I say as I type on my machine running macOS. I'm not much better but at least macOS is built on top of UNIX). Apologies, I'm pretty tired. That was the general theme of the week and not much else, really.
I'm not sure if it's just the rather large amount of papers that I have to read for a class, the generally short days and long nights, or a combination of both and a bunch of other factors, but term 2 is hitting slightly harder than term 1. Hopefully I'll have something more to write about next week, but for now I'm just trying to keep some amount of normalcy and discipline going.
