What did you do this past week?
I was mostly catching up on work that I missed from the week before spring break since I left early and started working on allocators with my partner. Other than that, mostly I have been just getting back into the swing of things in Austin.
What’s in your way?
At the moment there is nothing in my way which I am thankful for.
What will you do next week?
Next week I plan to finish up the allocators project and also start working on my data mining project. Other than those two I want to continue keeping up with my classes and orgs to set myself up best for the second half of the semester
What did you think of Paper #9: Dependency Inversion Principle?
I think the paper had a lot of insights into what makes code “clean”. I guess one thing I never really realized was how useful abstract classes are. I learned about them in 314, but never was really taught the use case for it until now which is super cool.
What was your experience of comprehensions and yield?
At first I was fairly confused at all of the different types of iterators and what it means to have a “stronger” iterator. But after further reading and rewatching parts of lecture it makes a lot more sense and now I think it is really cool how much fine control we are allowed to have in c++ with how we iterate.
What made you happy this week?
Honestly, this week was fairly rough for me for personal reasons, but one thing that really made me happy was just have spring weather. After the storm on Monday, the weather has been absolutely amazing for the last 4 days and it has been pushing me through the week!
What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
Something I have recently been doing is keeping up with the hacker news website. I think it is really useful in giving cool tips and highlighting emerging technologies for programmers.
