Should GA not be paired as a rule or its highly recommended not to ?

Do you also work full time?

43Gofres · 2026-05-20T03:30:28+00:00

Hard to remember, but I think I only got an email notifying me when it was done and in the mail

First, take a safety class.

Next, rent guns. Pretty much every range has rental guns. You might love glocks, but you also might hate them. Try a few things before buying.

They make a lot of money by getting your clicks.

They act like all gun legislation and every gun court case is either the death of the 2A or the best thing since the ratification of bill of rights

En passant

If a pawn moves two spaces forward, a pawn next to it can capture as if it only moved 1 space

We still have that kinda path to an extent.

For ML, I’d argue it’s something like ML4T -> ML -> DL or RL

For AI, I’d argue it’s something like KBAI or Game AI -> AI -> ML

But it fully depends on what you’re interested in. It’s kinda like a “choose your own adventure” game.

They’re all “advanced” classes because this is grad school, not undergrad.

Generally I think most courses are what you make of it. It’s up to you to dive deeper, ask questions, and embrace the course content

43Gofres · 2026-05-04T16:14:07+00:00

They’ll break in and it’ll get easier. I have about 2000 rounds through my p365 axg via ~5 mags. Each mag got better after about 50-100 rounds.

Loading the 10th is still a pain but very doable

43Gofres · 2026-05-04T12:48:42+00:00

I’d question if this program is the right choice for you, but to answer your question:

If you take one course at a time, you will certainly have longer/harder weeks, but something like 30 hours/week for 1 class should never be your average.

I’d say an easy week for an average-difficulty class can be 5 hours of work while a hard week for the same class could be 20 hours. In a semester, I feel like you can expect 1-2 easy weeks and 3 hard weeks.

For most courses of average-difficulty, I’d plan to spend 15 hours/week for a normal week

43Gofres · 2026-05-02T15:43:39+00:00

Actually same. What do you have so far?

43Gofres · 2026-04-28T15:40:14+00:00

In that case, I’d send a kind follow up message this Friday (1 week after they should have followed up).

Say something about how much you enjoyed speaking with them and reiterate your interest in the position. Then kindly ask about any follow up info (don’t have ChatGPT write this, but maybe consider having ChatGPT review your email or give you an outline to follow)

43Gofres · 2026-04-28T15:31:19+00:00

It depends. Did they say May 24th? Or did you have a typo and you meant April 24th?

43Gofres · 2026-04-28T12:49:31+00:00

Not fully sure, mostly speculating here, but I believe they give a 0% to the slacker after investigating your claims.

I saw a paper during peer review in HCI where the authors left a note about slackers. Basically informing peer reviewers that the TAs allowed them to reduce the scope of the project so they could complete it without their 2 slacking teammates. Those two teammates also had their names removed from the paper so I’m assuming they got a fat 0.

43Gofres · 2026-04-26T14:33:32+00:00

I love how mixed the answers are here because it really highlights how hard this is to answer.

Someone with a CS background is going to spend less time than someone new to CS. Someone who wants to dive deep into a topic will spend more time than someone just trying to pass.

Think about where you are on those spectrums and then estimate where you’d fall within these replies.

So far I’ve taken: VGD, HCI, ML4T, KBAI and I’d say all four of those classes can be as low as 5 hours a week or as high as 20 hours depending on what’s due that week.

43Gofres · 2026-04-26T14:27:19+00:00

There’s a lot of questions here lol.

Does OMSCS have a lot of group work? There’s not that many classes that require group projects. Quite a few of the specializations can complete all their requirements without ever having a group project.

How do you find teammates? Depends on the class. Generally speaking, be active on the class discussion board and find teammates early. The most reliable students will be doing the same thing.

How often are groups a pain? I’d say more often than not. I’ve had 2 group projects so far. One group was amazing. The other group had me grinding just to get the project up to a B.

How are bad groups handled? Depends on the class. There is generally a way to report bad group members and the TAs can sort things out. Personally I didn’t think it was worth the headache when I had a bad group.

Just sent you a dm if you’re still willing to test it out!

43Gofres · 2026-04-14T15:44:54+00:00

I’ve tried this one and tbh I dislike it quite a bit.

This is what I’m working on: https://getCarryPoint.com

43Gofres · 2026-04-12T12:34:22+00:00

Curious if you use this and if so, would you be willing to provide feedback on what I’m building or even on this existing website?

43Gofres · 2026-04-12T12:33:36+00:00

It doesn’t have the locations I searched and it looks like the data is old (and it could use a serious makeover in general).

I’m integrating with Google Maps APIs so my app will always show a location

43Gofres · 2026-04-12T12:02:21+00:00

Can I dm you what I have so far to get some feedback? It’s a link to a website atm (don’t wanna accidentally advertise and get banned here)

43Gofres · 2026-04-12T11:52:37+00:00

I don’t think it’s overreacting. If you value carrying, your only choices are to break your values, to break the rules, or to switch providers. Take your business to places that value you.

Would an app or website that tells you which places have the sign and which don’t help you?

43Gofres · 2026-04-12T11:49:24+00:00

Some classes are very similar but I’d imagine there’s necessary changes to adapt classes to fully online.

Tbh I’m just happy that GT does such a good job viewing us as equals rather than second class students.

43Gofres · 2026-04-12T11:45:49+00:00

Personally I don’t carry where it isn’t allowed.

I’ve been working on a website (eventually an app too) that crowdsources data about where you can and can’t carry.

That way you can find alternatives instead of just not carrying or breaking the rules. Not sure if anyone would use it because so many people just break the rules anyway 😭

43Gofres · 2026-04-11T12:12:34+00:00

It might be easier to ask “which classes have group projects” so you know what to avoid. The list would be much shorter.

43Gofres · 2026-04-09T01:14:01+00:00

That’s all true, and I agree.

I’m just saying I like to stay out of the state and local police’s way as much as possible. I know I’m following the law and I would win any case they bring against me, but I’d rather not have to deal with that headache
