Archive Migration

I will me migrating some 38 posts over to this Blogger account from WordPress because my site has been hijacked. Who knows, this site may become hijacked too. or maybe it could already have a worm. I don't know. Such is the grossness and baseness of technology. I think I will write a list of those posts and their original publish dates. Perhaps on an archive page of sorts.

AY2020/21 Semester 2 Module Ramblings

 posted: 03/07/21 (last edited: 17/06/21) Officially falling prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect? Interesting . CS2105 Introduction to Computer Networks MCs: 4 Expected Grade: A- Actual Grade: A Workload: Very manageable if you start your assignments early The lecture slides call this module “An Awesome Introduction to Computer Networks”. Reality is not too far off, I guess. Doesn’t really go in depth to each part of networking, but this is an introductory module, after all, so that’s acceptable. Knowing the difference between UDP and TCP is important for technical interviews, so this is a good module to take early, ideally before you start applying for internships. Enjoyed the first half of the module more than the second half because Prof Ma appeared more prepared for lectures than Prof Zimmermann, though I think Prof Zimmermann is more experienced. Assignments were pretty “hands-on”, I think? It seems like something that can be applied to real life programming, s...

Stem in STEM – two branches.

 13/09/24   Pardon the racial subtelties that I am definitely missing. I am not a woman in STEM, and that makes me feel guilty. The reason that I am not a woman in STEM, stems from the way in which I am “not like the other girls”, that is, I am not a girl. Realising that I am not a woman in STEM makes me feel like I have taken away one precious sister in STEM, and turned them to the dark side. Though they were never a sister. FTMs? AFAB NBs? Why can’t y’all just be good butches? Do you see what womens activists have sacrificed just to get us to this point? And you’re gonna throw it all away? Declare that you are not a woman? The fact that this tra**y is in STEM / tech just adds another layer of insult. See how hard women have fought people like you to be recognised in STEM? And now that you have a job in STEM, do you abandon your sisters? And do you still get to benefit from opportunities which were meant for women in STEM, when you’re not even a woman? But anyone’s ...

It Will Settle Itself Somehow

 030721   At the start of the semester, or rather, before the start of Year 2 Semester 2, I had set myself 3 non-academic related goals to accomplish. Is it hubris? Anyway, I knew that the academic grades can’t be too bad, considering my past record. So, I didn’t concern myself with setting goals for academics, I just let it be, and take it as it comes while trying my best. I guess even amongst all that rock-bottom self-confidence, all that moping, all that saying that I’m gonna die, all of the crying, I guess somehow, I subconsciously know that I can actually do it, quite well, satisfactorily enough. Except this voice is drowned out by the other hostile voices, which are much louder and more aggressive. “Intrusive thoughts”, as they are termed. Well, that was quite a tangent, but I must go back to the 3 goals I set for myself. 3 things I needed to do. 1.        Start getting help for my mental health. I guess it mostly means starting to ge...
