How good is MIPS for teaching computer architecture? I took a class where we learned the implementation of a simple MIPS machine and I was wondering if I actually learned anything useful.

Hi Caroll! I have a simple question for you: any fond memories of Acton, MA? I grew up there and went to elementary school in the building that would have been your high school (if I have my local history right). Thanks for the AMA!

Do you really spend all that money on keeping your library up to date?

Just to follow up on u/Tribaltech777's great response, it sounds like you have a slightly different medication than what they were prescribed: ER means "extended release" I believe. From my limited experience with non-ER propanolol, I don't think you can use it quite like they did - it doesn't last as long. It's definitely more useful for getting through performance anxiety or an 'oh shit' thing as you put it.

Reading this thread has made me want to try the ER version. Propanolol was the only psychiatric drug I tried that had anything close to a positive effect for me.
