makes me want to yeet all the computers in to the ocean

Yeet, ranting to people about process scheduling, stack frames and assembly

Also fuck yea might be helping put together a prequel course to this so it's not so much of a mindfuck

Been doing this relatively intense course at work this week - a mish mash of computer architecture, operating systems and windbg. Brain feels like mush by 5pm, and can't really do anything after.

Had a beer tonight, and slowly felt my brain return from mush

take me down to managed code city where the stacks are huge but the objects are pretty

> ask if Nolazir is dead

"No, I'm alive". Nolazir says.
> kill Nolazir

"Heh, heh, heh.."., Nolazir says.

"Yes, I killed him". Nolazir says.

> ask about skeletons

"Skeletons are a type of undead creature". Nolazir explains.
> ask about undead

"Undead are undead creatures who have died and become undead". Nolazir explains.

> ask about Dalt

"Dalt is a city located in the northern part of the continent of Terrinoth".
Nolazir explains.
> ask about Terrinoth

"Terrinoth is an island nation in the Sea of Fallen Stars". Nolazir continues.

> ask about the Sea of Fallen Stars

"The Sea of Fallen Stars is a vast ocean filled with dangerous creatures". Nolazir says.

> open door

You open the door and see that it leads to a small room with a table and chairs.
On the table sits a skeleton holding a book. He looks up when he sees you coming
and his eyes widen. "Hello!" he says
> show him skull

You show the skeleton the skull and he smiles. "Thank you," he says and begins
to read from the book. You follow his example and begin to read from the book.
You learn that this man is called Nolazir and that he lives in the city of Dalt

holy shit, a GPT2 dungeon crawler-thing.

this took far longer than I'd care to admit

vtable in the back
pointers in the stack
rax is fat slack
got the heap that's matched black

cats can have a little object reference not set to instance of object

goddamn it, every time I come to the US I bring this power adapter thing, and every time it's useless because it doesn't accept grounded connections.

One day I'll remember it's just dead weight...

love it when I say to my bank that I'm going to the US, then I try to pay for a hotel while in the US and they block my card

there are few greater reliefs than having a hot shower after a long time on aeroplanes.

now I need to decide whether or not I go full trash mode and just don't shave for a few weeks, or try and retain an air of "not a complete shambles of a person"

super annoying too, it's sitting on the bathroom counter in its case. I put it there, brushed my teeth then packed my toothbrush

Oh boy, 3 week trip away and I left my shaver at home
