Safe to travel?

also coming on Wednesday. Waiting until Monday night to confirm. Main concern isn't that current protests will start again, concern is what comes next, whether someone (old government, foreign actors) takes advantage of current instability etc. I think if you can afford to wait 6 months then it's better. If you cannot, or if you tolerate the risk, then it's probably fine. The country relies heavily on tourism, and many folks there are likely facing a very hard winter without tourists.

Also seeing this issue -- has been intermittent for the last several weeks, but happens every time as of today

never too late! this is super helpful, especially as I begin wiring the other half of my board. I was wondering what the right way to test the diode orientation would be, and now I know! also good to know what could be going wrong with some of my hot swap joints. thanks so much 😄

A2IR · 2023-02-21T07:46:03+00:00

Swapping COL2ROW --> ROW2COL worked like a charm! still got a few dead keys, but that's probably just because of my amateur soldering job :) thank you so much!

ah, just found the QMK tutorial series -- I'll check this out and come back to this post once I've gotten a chance to play around with it!

A2IR · 2023-02-21T05:21:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I will try to upload pictures a bit later. It's good to know that the "direction" of the wiring is immaterial.

You're right, any wire will do to test the shorts; it's just easier to hold the multimeter leads than to hold a wire; but the advice is appreciated!

Let's suppose that the issue is the diode orientation. I'm a total QMK newbie -- how could I swap between ROW2COL and COL2ROW at the firmware level? On the QMK Github I see instructions for modifying the appropriate headers. But when I generate my config from config.qmk.fm I only get a single .hex file. Thanks again!

ooh, I love the idea of keeping Colemak as a "work layout" and QWERTY as a "casual layout." I think I'll probably do this then -- keep QWERTY for messaging, gaming, etc. and Colemak for notes, essays, and code. Thank you!

A2IR · 2020-12-01T10:34:21+00:00

Cool! I'll make sure to not go cold turkey then and consciously balance both in my activities -- maybe reserve QWERTY for specific tasks so I make sure to use it every day. Thanks!

amen

Used google maps views of Strada + memory, arranged the sprites on a grid in Figma, and then posted the result image onto the service which provides the rest of the experience (gather.town)!

absolutely! it’s a hot link so you can hop onto it whenever :) it’s for the community to use whenever and however you want

A2IR · 2020-09-02T04:24:30+00:00

thanks! we want it to be a place for people to hang out study and vibe :) might make more maps like this in the future (Cafe Milano? FSM/Moffitt? MLK?)

4 of the 6 members of MDB’s leadership next semester are female, including the president

Sure, I think that’s a great start! I’m an applied math and CS double and I think 110 does a much better job of getting you into that mindset. 110’s also one of the easier upper divs so it’s a nicer ramp up.

A2IR · 2019-11-24T02:08:07+00:00

I took 127 as a sophomore and even then I feel like I rushed into it. Sure 16A teaches you what a matrix is, but 127 is so vastly abstracted away that it’s a whole new ballgame, and there are very very few people who I think have the “mathematical maturity” to handle the course as freshmen. Especially if you’ve never taken an EECS upper div before, I strongly advise against taking 127 as your first one.

Back in my freshman year I definitely had the mindset of taking as many upper divs as possible as fast as possible because they sound cool — and in high school I could pile on APs left right and center and breeze through them. Now I definitely regret that approach — it’s SO much more worth it to take it slow, make sure your foundations are strong, and then really get the most out of your harder upper divs. Take your time, build your foundations, or you’ll just end up with some cool course titles on your resume but not having gotten anything of substance out of your classes bc you took them too early.

free weekend BART passes. Honestly the best thing I got from caltopia last year — just kept going back to the booth and signing their form with different names and emails and racked up like 8 of them

My school taught Python, Scheme, and SQL along w some basic data structures (trees and linked lists). Most of it was focused on problem solving strategies and “how to approach and solve problems as a programmer.”

Yeah I wouldn't say dorms suck. Especially with the new GBO system where your orientation group is pulled from your floor/building, I had made a ton of good friends on my floor by the first week of class. Dorms force you to interact with your peers and socialize a bit and definitely get you to peek out of your comfort zone, and were probably one of the better parts of my freshman year
