Daily Reminder ~

People think coding / debugging means highly concentrated furious typing, but mostly it’s just angrily staring at the screen for long periods of time waiting for the problem to solve itself

The thing about programming is that it teaches you that you can flip-flop between feeling like a genius and an idiot considerably faster than you ever expected.

How To Easily Remember the Unit Circle

I work in a walk-in tutor lab at my university and one of the other tutors showed me this a couple years back and it has changed my life.

First, you make a table that looks like this.

Then, go ahead and add in some nice denominators of 2 in every entry in the table.

Then give yourself some nice square roots on the numerators.

Alright – now we’re going to fill it in. The only value you have to remember is that sin(0)=0. So we put 0 in the numerator for 0 in the sine column. Then we just count up as we move down.

Then we do the opposite in the cosine column.

Then we simplify!

And voila – a beautiful unit circle table. 

all these studying tips saying ‘stay away from your computer’ and ‘use these apps to control the sites you can access’ and I just keep thinking

i’m a computer science major

I have to use programs to write code

I have to check websites

how exactly am I supposed to do that and still get work done

concentrate on becoming your best self rather than trying to be somebody else

So if you lived in a society where you had to secure your communication in order to be yourself around others, here are the apps that could help you do that.
