Bounded-Error Log

At least one person wants me to post.

Echoes.

My inner perfectionist is crying that I have to post this, in particular over my pathetic snowclone title, but my inner pragmatist knows that, judging by my old blogging patterns, it’s now or never. 18.06: 56%, haven’t touched it in a while, but I think I…

(Nontopical life update: Current 18.06 homework status: 34% (mildly screwed, probably won’t finish before I leave my cozy home for the U.S. and I usually struggle to get into the mood for homework while traveling, but I guess I’ll have to)) (I’ve been spe…

We get up at 3:40 AM.

I made it!

Okay, just one more post for the streak milking the stuff uncovered in my old hard drive, and then it’s over, I promise.

(Short streak post.

This is not Part 3.

Wow, there are so many cool things in my old folder.

Mom dug up an old hard drive for me to find photos of my elementary-school self participating in the same math competition I’m presenting at in a week.

Just a short anecdote for the streak today.

Nope, still no meaningful post today.

Here are two screenshots of the Android 3x3 grid lock we dealt with in the phone post.

When I first realized it might be helpful to start trying to remember the correspondence between MIT courses and their numbers, I expected a list of mnemonics for this correspondence would be one of those Things That Should Exist On the Internet.

It’s olympiad season.

tl;dr: anybody want to add me on Line or tell/remind me about other phone chat apps?

Okay, I think I’m figuring this out.

= within 15 cents of $20,000/7 = NT$88,661, by Google’s current exchange rate = 739 hours of Taiwan’s hourly minimum wage or 4.43 months of Taiwan’s monthly minimum wage = 317 hours of Massachusetts’s minimum wage (7.94 weeks or 1.85 months assuming a 40-…

My mom says I blog too much about myself.

Ok I give up I don’t have any material and don’t feel like preparing any because the influx of IMO problems, including the shortlist, is too fascinating.

(streak) This is not any better than the first installment, but I need to post.

All through high school I had really high standards for myself.

我本來還想把這一篇用英文跟中文各打一次來實際比較看看，但這已經被困在草稿匣夠久了。

(streak) ≥1 of you should know what is being referred to.

(streak) I’ll probably be making filler posts for a while until I make decent progress on linear algebra and programming work, including another presentation.

(streak) I always tell myself, okay, I will actually just draw something facetiously and get it over with, nobody comes to this blog to admire my GIMP mouse doodles, but then perfectionist tendencies kick in and I get carried away and it ends up taking mo…

Part 1 was here.

Short blog content for daily posting streak.

I’m going to do it again!

20 posts so far in my daily streak, ignoring the time I posted after midnight but including exactly one of this post and the commitment-starting post.

If you remember, Part 1 was here and my goal is to construct a theoretical system of standardized tests that I would be satisfied by.

(daily posting streak) Facetious paintbrush dragon filler is best filler!

(Disjointed blog content, posted as part of a daily posting streak I have openly committed to; standard disclaimers apply) Blogging is weird.

It is more than slightly intimidating to go into the room through the big sliding door and see everybody dressed up in full-on green surgical garb with masks and hair nets.

Life update: I got my driver’s license from the place where I learned to drive.

Vacuous content for posting streak.

(Part of a daily posting streak but for once I don’t think I need to apply the disclaimers to this.

That’s the name of the text file that comes up in MacVim when I hit option-shift-Z.

(Something something something daily posting streak something something standard disclaimers.

At some point I thought, hmm, maybe this blog would benefit from some more sentimental, memory-capturing music/videos, like I chose for my end of 2013 post or my end of 2014 post.

(Uncohesive blog content, posted as part of a daily posting streak I have openly committed to; standard disclaimers apply.

(Short blog content, posted as part of a daily posting streak I have openly committed to; standard disclaimers apply) For the interested, I wrote a post summarizing issues in copyright and patent law on a new blog for a school club.

(Disorganized and probably incomplete blog content, posted as part of a daily posting streak I have openly committed to; standard disclaimers apply) Okay, I’m actually going to try starting this blog post and posting it in the same day.

Darn, I only lasted four days.

(Faux-philosophical blog content, posted as part of a daily posting streak I have openly committed to; standard disclaimers apply) This is a hard essay to write because (1) it’s very irrational and I should (and I do) know better — death by car accident is

(Frivolous blog content, posted as part of a daily posting streak I have openly committed to; standard disclaimers apply) Out of boredom and curiosity, I graphed how many emails colleges sent me, excluding the colleges I actually applied to.

(Frivolous blog content, posted as part of a daily posting streak I have openly committed to; standard disclaimers apply) It is quite interesting that Wikipedia’s article on Ninety-nine (addition card game), plus many of the following search results (igno…

Obligatory life update: I have graduated [from] high school.

What do you do when you get a bunch of files like this from a zipfile?
