I tried for about a week: reading documentation, viewing and modifying example programs, using a Rust IDE with warnings for all my silly mistakes, the works. I couldn’t manage to wrap my head around it. It’s so different from what I’m used to. If I could dedicate like a month to learn it I would, but I don’t have the time :/

That is confusing! Thanks for the clarification and link. I guess I’ve seen kJ more than I thought, just not by a name that makes any sense lol. Never knew I’d learn so much by posting this lol

I was entirely unaware how common and mundane this is basically everywhere outside the United States. This is the first food item I’ve seen ever list kJ here, which is why I found it interesting, but I guess it’s quite standard elsewhere!

It doesn’t seem to be the case in the U.S. Basically everything I can find that has a nutritional information label exclusively lists “Calories” and I have never seen kJ here

Almost everything was web based. Being in computer science i did have to write code and compile executables that my TAs running Windows could run; so it wasn’t perfectly smooth. There was also Respondus Lockdown, but I could borrow a laptop from the library to use it.

I like to think I lurk enough to not generally be recognized.
