   I finally got to finish my Algorithms homework. It's been weeks; I've been putting it off over and over again. Feels good to be making progress again.

     @wilkie greedy algorithms with huffman compression as the example, and dynamic programming with minimum weight independent sets

     @wilkie I start a CS master's at Georgia Tech in January 2023, so I'm trying to fill in my knowledge before I start with an algorithms course series from Stanford on Coursera.

     @evan that's so fun. I was very much impressed upon the distinction between integer and dynamic programming... the former seeming to constrict the possibilities yet... is generally NP complete

     @hankg I wrote a long blog post about it earlier this year.

     @evan I've thought about going back to college for another master's degree but since I can't seem to even finish a Coursera class I'm guessing it isn't going to be for me. Good luck on the endeavor!
