Day 13 of 50 days to 2026! I did a bunch of backend fixes and worked on security headers and various other things. It is all really boring work to talk about but I made a million commits and finished the two hour C++ rant I've been watching on youtube. I have a engineering presentation tomorrow which hopefully goes well but then the rest of the week is pretty light on school work! I'm hoping to do some experimenting with my handheld and see if I can get on a repeater tuesday or wednesday.

:50days: Day 9/50 Today wasn't very productive, But I've read a lot of docs about gowarc cuz I tried to make my scraper in Golang but it wasn't working on windows (cuz it was using /etc/resolv.conf), so instead of using my laptop (raaahhh debian 13 on top) I tried to fix the library and adding Windows support (which was unsuccessful) So today I've only added a config file to it, and refactored the depth system cuz it was weird and vibe-coded. I think the next step is to add threading to it so it would be even faster. I've also had to buy Andromaque for school today so I had to walk across Brest, uhhhh... Related to books I've continued to read Animal Farm, I'm pretty sure i'll finish it before the end of the year

:50days: *day 9/50* spent a bit writing a story for school, then wrote a bunch for README! I made an <Emoji> component to easily use Slack emojis in the writing, and did some of the "an attempt at an introduction" section.

day seven! this day was actually wild: • coded for 2.7 Hackatime hrs on the game (it might not seem like much, but considering I had training and school from 8:15AM to 3:45PM that's pretty crazy) • pretty cool training, getting ready for a race this saturday got a lot of progress on my game (which I'm doing together with @KittyCat -- she's doing the art and maybe some coding as well)

50 days challenge ❄️ Daily update <#C07TTG7NVPX|> | Streak: 8 days! Still sick, but I was able to get more accomplished today... Productive stuff I did for my goals • Edited a video I helped film and put together of a cultural celebration at my school and finalized it for posting on social media! • Planned application to a fun summer program. • Did a batch of calculus problems --- my math notes Google Doc hit 100 pages :0 • Did two practice exams in preparation for my chemistry midterm! That's 40 full-length problems across 100 minutes :3 (attached is a photo of some of my random scratch paper) • Went to my chemistry lab practical today, it went well! I got 100% on the post-lab assessment • Got caught up on some stuff in Hack Club • Uploaded news articles to a site and designed Instagram posts for a small news publication I help edit for! Nice stuff • I was checking university major requirements and found that on top of my existing reqs for engineering (which I know for sure I'm going to do) I just need to take 1 more class for a mathematics minor and 3 more classes for a mathematics major... should I do it to flex bruh (math is my least favorite subject but I find it funny and possibly a valuable degree)

day 7/50 again I didn't do much today beyond dragging myself to school and taking a calculus test. I think I did pretty well? I completely blanked on one of the differentiation problems at the end but everything else made sense. I did a bit of investigating for a C++ assignment that is coming up where we have to make an algorithm to execute the most optimal battleship moves and sink the opponents ships before their algorithm sinks ours. I have some interesting ideas on how to execute this (one being training a small ml model which would be hilariously overkill for this). We don't get the source code of the library that actually runs the battleship logic though so I did a bit of digging through ghidra to see if I can find anything useful. Didn't find much but it was fun to play with for sure.

Day 6 1. Went into school early to study for my afternoon Level 3 Economics exam (Year 13 exam, I’m in Year 12) 2. Had my exam! It went pretty well and I think that was an excellence! 3. Got home and had a meeting for #C08HX0F11BP| 4. Started making the budget for #C08HX0F11BP| 5. Played games for the rest of the night to relax for once, no exams for a week so will be working on #C07KRNHG339| bts! Not crazily productive but had an exam that went well so it evens out (Had to repost to add an image for scrappy 8 hours later :3kcursed:)
