    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;it happened again.. i didn't update for a few days and gotten too overwhelmed by the backlog, which is exactly what made me give up last semester.. so this time i'll avoid it by just skipping days whenever this happens, and fingers crossed it won't any time soon!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;NMAI058 (Linear algebra 2) [lecture] - eigenvalues of linear maps and matrices.. what is an eigenvalue anyway, right? linear algebra is already going over my head and the semester started only a month ago..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;NTIN060 (Algorithms and Data Structures 1) [lecture] - sharir's algorithm for finding the strongly connected components of an oriented graph and algorithms for finding the shortest path in an oriented graph, but we only had time for dijkstra's algorithm, my beloved&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;i now have a three hour block of free time again, although this time it's every week, since I was getting tired of eating fast food and supermarket baguette sandwiches all the time, i went to miyabi, a japanese restaurant near lazarská, got two onigiri and some tsukemono to go, then took the tram to výstaviště, where i ate it, it tasted pretty good&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;NTIN107 (Extension seminar Algorithms and Data Structures 1) - i started attending last week, but i didn't blog about it, this seminar uses algovision.org, a website created by the professor, to visualise the various algorithms and data structures, he goes over it and explains it, we did spanning tree algoritms, which are curious because two of them have been discovered by czechs, later rediscovered by other people, those being the jarník-prim algorithm and the borůvka algorithm, but i like kruskal's algorithm (who was british) because when the professor introduced the problem that was the algorithm i have come up with on the spot myself!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;koku daily message:&lt;br /&gt;it is a yukkuri day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kokulife&amp;ditemid=10035" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;NTIN060 (Algorithms and data structures 1) [tutorial] - big O notation, mostly just revision of last semester + small o notation, which to my understanding is like the difference between a maximum and a supremum (in a way i suppose..)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;NMAI058 (Linear algebra 2) [tutorial] - determinant of a matrix, we solved a few and then came the &lt;i&gt;determinant olympics,&lt;/i&gt; something the teacher does every year, but only once every four it lands on the time of the winter olympics, one and a half dozen matrices (1/3 3x3 for 1 point each, 1/3 4x4 for 2 points each and the rest 5x5 for 3 points) whoever solved the determinant of a matrix first got the points.. i got 6 points placing me on a nice tied for 2nd place!! so i got a fidorka, which is a czech biscuit.. notable for being the one i got on Friday 2025-10-10 during NSWI120! if i had a nickel for every time...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;NSWI177 (Introduction to Linux) - i am already pretty much introduced to linux as i use it on my main desktop since 2020.. also git, but i also know how to use that..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;went to borrow an arduino for NSWI170, but the library was closed, then the train i was going to take home was cancelled/delayed idk it just said that i can use the following alternative trains instead and there was nothing, so i went to mcdonalds, got a fillet of fish burger, medium fries and an iced tea and ate and drank that at výstaviště and then went back to the train station and wrote this blog post&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;koku daily message:&lt;br /&gt;silver medal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kokulife&amp;ditemid=8825" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
