Feedback for the course (Practice: Data Structures)

Is this a data structure course or a web programming course?

I don't think you ever taught us tables or matrices as a data structure, yet you put Pandas on your study plan anyway. That library doesn't make sense in this course!

And why do you have to force us to use AI on our project? A technology below decent, made with the hands of thieves, backed by a supervillain who lust after profit?

If you want to teach us data structures, teach C and their structures. Or Haskell and their ADT. Or Java and their objects. Not Streamlit and their... dependencies.

Don't let the "project-based learning" paradigm shift the course's actual purpose! Sometimes learning from the past is better than looking after the future.

hey guys is wayback down again?

My data structure practice teammates always merges divergent branches like there’s no tomorrow

Then again, both of them use the recommended GitHub Desktop instead of the Git CLI, so it’s up to that app to decide which one to use

All I want for Christmas is you

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

why oh why does my windows on Windows freeze when I pasted something

You’re giving me mixed signals, Windows

this week’s database system practice post test: making the most spaghetti SQL queries:

-- no intersect =(
select distinct (
    select name
    from Lecturers
    where id=C1.lecturer_id
    limit 1
) as name
from Courses as C1
where
    exists(
        select 1
        from Courses as C2
        where
            C2.lecturer_id=C1.lecturer_id
            and C2.semester='Odd'
    )
    and exists(
        select 1
        from Courses as C2
        where
            C2.lecturer_id=C1.lecturer_id
            and C2.semester='Even'
    )
;

(we’re learning set operations and subqueries, so joins are not allowed)

I wonder what the huebird is doing right now after the ban

import operator as op
from functools import partial, reduce

@partial(reduce, op.add)
@op.call
def iterated():
    global ...
    ...

I feel like I’ve acquired some forbidden Python tech

So I drew some Baba is You characters on one of my uni’s lounge room yesterday

Seems like others have joined in

I just hinted Luddites without knowing it

I’m struggling to find a “simple website” for me to do PageRank on (as asked by the problem on my graph algorithm assignment) so I used the 2024 scrape of wasteof I made

I can say that the post with the highest PageRank is https://wasteof.money/posts/62739c27764628df27898724 with a PageRank of 0.015250907165356174… and it’s engagement bait. Greeeat.
