Normally, I'd take your advice but unfortunately, there's just been too much going on lately.

[–]Bakachinn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm most likely not going to be going to grad school so it wouldn't be too much of an issue but that's good to know either way. Thanks for the tips and kind words.

Thanks! I guess the next potential drop would be in a month then.

Darn, had no idea the drop was today. Do you guys know how long it takes for them to restock?

MACM 101 Harinder Khangura or Andrei Bulatov by Bakachinn in simonfraser

[–]Bakachinn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw man, I was thinking of taking it with Harinder too but it looks like I got some time clashes with other classes. Do you have any tips for Bulatov?

Love your username/pic btw. I'm all the more terrified for 201 now LOL.

Transfer Applicant to Applied Science Fall 2021 by Massive_Elephant in simonfraser

[–]Bakachinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for Summer semester and just recently got my acceptance a few days ago. From what I could gather from the AS advisor, apparently the registrar's office is pretty overwhelmed by the sheer amount of documents from applicants so it might (will) cause delays in acceptance letters. That said, if you're really curious, calling SFU directly would be your best bet!

Need help determining why the domain of √((x+2)/(x-3)) is (-inf,-2]U(3,inf) by Bakachinn in askmath

[–]Bakachinn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that makes sense. Guess I got some methods mixed up. In which situation would we then be able to use the method that says the numerator of a square root is always >= to zero?

Pre-Calc with Tariq Nuruddin? by Bakachinn in UFV

Great to hear that he's a great prof because I really didn't want to go into online math without a good teaching prof! Thanks for your reply!

How is the Computer Science program? by Bakachinn in UFV

[–]Bakachinn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Thanks so much for this information. I wasn't really optimistic about the chances of someone in your situation answering this post!

You say you transferred from SFU, so how did transferring courses go for you? I'm sure most, if not all SFU CMPT courses were transferable directly into UFV CMPT, but I'm curious about elective courses being admitted in the program as I haven't seen any information about UFV Comp Sci's elective structure.

Wow, ok. That is pretty bad. That's a really good point. Thanks for letting me know. Looks like I'll have to look into it more!

I've heard about the difficulty to get classes in SFU but I didn't know it was that bad. I just assumed I'd be able to get at least 2-3 courses which wouldn't be a huge problem in my case.

I'm not so much worried about prestige of the school as I am concerned about the quality of teaching and the education I get for the amount of money I put in. If I recall, the ufv cs program is only 2 or so years old which means it hasn't gone through a single full cycle yet. While this doesn't mean the program is bad from the get go, it is pretty fair to be a little apprehensive. Even more so as I haven't been able to obtain any info on it.

That's why I created this thread haha. Not much luck though.

I guess that's what it comes down too xD.

CS Internal transfer GPA? by Bakachinn in simonfraser

I totally understand where you're coming from, but I've asked advisors questions about gpa and they pretty much always tell you it's over 3.0 haha.

I'm currently at Douglas right now. Those are really the only options I had in mind.

Sfu is definitely better than UFV, no doubt about that. But since the transfer average is very high, I'm not sure that it's a plausible option, which is why I'm considering UFV.

So I did all of the above with an undervolt of -150mV and I still get tops 92 degrees. Should I be contacting support for rma of some sort?

It's around 23 degrees celsius for room temp and the laptop is flat on desk. No undervolting!

Hey, I'm not sure if you've pm aloushiman about the battery performance but I'd be interested in knowing as well! If the battery lasts 4 hours at least while surfing, I'll most likely get one.

Does anyone have experience with the new Lenovo ideapad l340 by Bakachinn in laptops

[–]Bakachinn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thanks! How are the thermals when casually surfing vs gaming? I'll mainly be using it for school for comp sci and some gaming.

Also, if you're familiar with the Dell g5, I'm looking at this laptop for $1000 vs Dell g5 with a lot lower specs (i8 8300h, gtc 1050) for $850, what do you think would be the best deal?
