_Rocket_ 656 / 8,277 Report Post Posted November 7, 2019 So you see here, I haven't been able to program anything for the past week, right? However I have been talking about programming and various shet with friends and people who want to learn more about code. Last night I had a damn dream about programming for the second time in the past week. This time I actually solved a damn problem with this random code I've never seen before and I made it work. I quite literally used my brain and fixed a bug in my code when I didn't even make it. AND IN A DAMN DREAM. I am too much of a nerd, man. Programming is becoming a drug for me, send help. I write programs and stuff. If you need to contact me, here is my discord tag: Dustin#6688 I am a busy person. So responses may be delayed.

Joshy 4,382 / 45,351 Report Post Posted November 8, 2019 I remember one project at the university I was obsessed with optimizing something I designed. It started similarly with dreaming about the ideas and solutions, but then I would forget them and would be frustrated. It was followed by sleeping with a notebook to write down these ideas to avoid forgetting. It wasn't long before I just wouldn't sleep and I would try, compile and debug as soon as possible. This resulted in a fully functional secure hash algorithm composed of 6400 lines of hardware description language that uses 26 iterations (rounds) per message compared to the 80 iterations the normal version would use (SHA-1). I was very upset when I got a B in that class. One of my interviews asked me to present a project from school. I presented that one, and it definitely paid off, but low enough GPA still causes a lot of barriers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS PigeonShit 231 / 0 Report Post Posted November 8, 2019 I had something similar but it was in regards to a video game. Age of Mythology to be exact. I was trying to beat this level (for those who know, it was "Good Advice" I believe) on titan difficulty and I just couldn't do it. I tried landing my units on different sides of the beach, I tried doing an all out assault right away, I even tried just straight up building my base on the starting island, none of it worked. I'd always either get overrun with soldiers or the enemy would use god powers on me and just cripple me entirely. After trying for days to beat this level on titan difficulty, I had an extremely vivid dream about it, to the point I think I was lucid dreaming. It seemed to last for hours. I was finding different ways to do things, ways to arrange my units to make them more effective, hell even ways to lure the enemy to one spot so I could attack another, weaker spot. I woke up and immediately went to my PC, I had the confidence of a thousand men that I would beat this on my first try that day. I launched the game and went straight in, using every new strategy I dreamed of, and good lord it actually worked! The enemy was getting beaten back left and right, my units kept advancing and taking ground, the enemy stood no chance. Finally I built up enough units to do a massive assault on the enemy wonder and I destroyed it. I was on cloud nine, it was all so surreal. Then the closing cinematic of the mission started playing and Athena spoke to me saying, "Well done. You've made it so far, and yet you're so gullible because you read this all for no reason and Epstein didn't kill himself" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
