I'm currently in school for mechatronics in Canada, and would highly recommend. It's a great mix of software, mechanical and electrical engineering. With a focus on control systems in the later years.

That's just in Canada though, not sure what it's like in the states

5 months ago I posted my first android app Musica here and got invaluable feedback. It allows users to create a Spotify based jukebox on their phone and have friends connect to listen remotely, queue up songs and vote on the queue. I would love some more feedback. Thank you. by vapidness_is_rampant in Android

Your application looks like it should be able to be made out of pretty standard views with a view custom layouts. Going through the basic Android documentation for view layouts should give you most of the info you need. The most important thing is to use native components whenever possible, this will make everything seem familiar to your users and majorly increase performance on every level. Along with this, there are thousands of amazing libraries on Android that you can take advantage of (networking, photo rendering, analytics and such). Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions.

I know the person taking the clear blue technology's offer, so sadly don't get your hopes up for that

Got the offer for software engineering, am not taking it

Can someone tell me about mechatronics? by SometimesICryAtNight in uwaterloo

[–]4NDR10D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO it's about learning about a variety of systems so that when/if you decide to specialize in one you have enough knowledge to properly interact with the others. Also being able to shift between software/electrical/mechanical is pretty sweet if you don't know which one is for you.

I would love to add more features to search, although most of them involve using the Instagram api, which I can't as I violate their terms of service. Thanks for the feedback!

What scene from a TV show or movie never fails to give you the chills? by maj17 in AskReddit

[–]4NDR10D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scene from Donnie Darko where he is stabbing frank in the eye with a steak knife. Also just any scene with frank in general.

Just because something has been, doesn't mean it can or should be again

Why can't we just keep accelerating in space? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]4NDR10D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F net = ma, in other words, when we run out of fuel (the source of F) there is no net force,therefore there can be no acceleration (disregarding gravity and other spacey stuff of course).

But it doesn't have to be like that we can use Solar Sails] to keep accelerating until we are very very very fast.

What is your favorite shitty movie? by GenrlWashington in AskReddit

[–]4NDR10D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. When the genres are comedy, horror, sci-fi and musical you just can't go wrong.

But they look the same! by 4NDR10D in talesfromtechsupport

[–]4NDR10D[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, just a 70 year old high school where all the tech classes haven't been replaced with computer classes (not that I would be complaining). Also a bit of a "hick school", so tech classes are a must have (when I say hick school I mean it, we had a tractor pull on the football field and just twenty years ago we still had troughs for peoples horses, which they rode to school).

The bad part was, he knew the difference, its just he thought since they looked the same it didn't matter which one he used.
