All nighters

[regexcellent]

I just implemented malloc() in one stretch from about 3pm yesterday afternoon to 3am this morning.

It is possibly the kludgiest implementation imaginable but it still scores full points.

This project was assigned three weeks ago and is worth ~15% of my grade in the class. It is due at 8am this morning.

So you're saying you could have put off starting it for another 5 hours? What is wrong with you?

[Al B. Sure!]

Being up all night should not become foreign to you, cadet.

Still haven't had to pull an all nighter! I've gone a few nights with 1-2 hours of sleep, but never without any. Woo 22 credits.

I had no classes or other obligations in the morning so I just slept until mid afternoon.

It's easy to implement malloc

void* malloc (size_t size) {
   return null;
}

"Welp, I guess you were out of memory, not my problem."

My malloc had to work with a heap larger than 0 bytes.

[Asher]

I always hated assignments like that. They're so pointless.

I'd have written malloc to wrap the existing malloc.

That's because you are an idiot. I learned a ton implementing malloc in 15-213. It's a valuable exercise. GOOD computer science schools all have a malloc() assignment in their systems course.

NOTE: This is because good computer science schools all base their systems course off of the one taught at Carnegie Mellon. Including MIT.

I think that's technically valid...

Sounds Good...

[Sava]

Did you check his work?

"Welp"

my new favorite wordish

I'm the idiot, yet you're the one who apparently did not comprehend my statement. malloc (and more importantly, free) implementations were also in my school's curriculum. I'm sure you learned a ton implementing malloc. I didn't. I didn't need to learn it. I already knew it on my own.

I cracked open libc's malloc/free before I even started university to understand how they worked.

Some people need grownups to tell them how to think and learn. Others have initiative.

Also, I thought you weren't even taking computer science?

What the hell are these people talking about?
