今は太宰治先生の「人間失格」を読んでます!
この文が本にあります: "自分は毎月、新刊の少年雑誌を十冊以上も、とっていて、またそのほかにも、さまざまの本を…読んでいましたので、メチャラクチャラ博士だの、また、ナンジャモンジャ博士などとは、たいへんな馴染で…」
メチャラクチャラ博士とナンジャモンジャ博士とは、いったいなんでしょうか?昔の少年雑誌のキャラだと思いましたが、ネットで調べてみたら、「人間失格」に関する論文ばかりでした。

I'm back! I was staying with and traveling with my girlfriend in Europe for a long time, and when I came back home I had no energy to post. I'm still studying though!
I finished my second quarter of my degree and got As in both classes. :)

My webdev class is easy, but just... SO not interesting for me 🫠 I have no interest, it is hard to stay motivated (the class is mandatory for my degree.)
I want to write obscure code for embedded systems nobody will ever see. I don't want to center a div

村上春樹先生の「海辺のカフカ」を読み終えました!これは私が初めて日本語で読んだ本です。上巻と下巻を加えて1,014ページがありました。
少し嫌な部分やテーマもあったけど、そのほかは好きでした。深い意味のある本だと思います。適当に選んだ本なのに、読んで良かったです!

Learning about passing parameters to/from procedures via the stack in MASM assembly, setting up and taking down stack frames... It's so neat finally learning how higher-level languages actually do this sort of thing from the standpoint of memory.

I've really been enjoying my assembly language class. I tend to find that the closer "to the metal" a computing topic is, the more it interests me.
My initial college major I chose way back when I was 18 was electrical/computer engineering, so I guess it makes sense.

What do you mean there isn't an official way to have private class attributes? What do you mean code flow is determined by indentation and not brackets/curly brackets? What do you mean the logical operators are the full words "and", "or", and "not"?
