Tbh if I didn't know the person I would feel no obligation to help them if it was a consequence of their own actions and not a legitimate mistake.

This is why I need to move past my slightly destructive personality trait where I feel obligated to help anyone of my peers if I am capable of it.

Can I have some advice for part 2? Not sure how to get the angle.

I dont think it is

v^2/r = tan(theata) = 45degree

That moment I submit a code for a bullshit computer science activity at 11:59:55, when it was due at midnight.

kek, nice troll.

I read over it and I missed the 1/4 of a circle part.

What did you have to code

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

What did you have to code

just had to write a code to determine the sizes of like 15 different variables, where they were stored in memory, whether by default some of them were treated as signed (can take negative numbers), what were the MAX and MIN values of those variables, and what happened if we overflowed and underflowed them (went passed the max, and below min value).

And I meant 11:59:55 seconds. I had 5 seconds left, or it would have been late...but we don't get directly penalised if its late, it just shows good time management if we get it on time.

Which subject is that?

Can a UNSW student help me out?

My school uses the Harvard style referencing guide from the UNSW website.

I'm not sure which category this website falls under:
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/marriages/relationship-register.aspx

At first I thought it was a Government department as author, and then a web source with no page numbers. Or it might be something else altogether.

I'd appreciate it if someone could clarify

Lol, I think almost everyone is stuck on that question. I asked a bunch of guys from North Sydney boys and they couldn't get it. One of them tried 45 degrees already.

Oh. You guys do more low level programming compared to me.

We are doing objects and classes lol.

You use C right?

This is a relevant good read: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/ThePerilsofJavaSchools.html

UNSW takes a different approach to some other universities. They do OO/Java in second year. The advantage of the UNSW approach is you have a greater understanding of basic programming before touching OO which I think means you can better understand OO off the bat and can jump in to the OO principles which may get glossed over in object first subjects. It also means data structure and algorithm classes can usually be done in C rather than an OO language or something like Python.

It's quite common for unis to do "objects first" for teaching programming now (since the 90s), where you'll use an OO language (typically Java) and often learn about objects and a bit of OO design before you even learn basic control flow etc.

At UTS, for example, the beginning subjects (common to IT + ICT Engineering) are Java based and IT students in a programming related major will later learn data structures and algorithms in C++. While ICT Engineering students will later do low level programming and learn about C (wrt embedded systems by the second C subject) and a bit of ASM in subjects which are shared with Electrical Engineers.

My attempt at that was pretty pathetic because I went to the camp.

how was camp?

how was female/male ratio


were there cute white grills <3

Was alright, I'd say a 1:5 girl to boy ratio. Apparently there was more girls this year. A few white girls yes.

So cold though.
