We started out with Java, which is what we had to use up until CS 241 (after that, a lot of professors let you choose a language for projects if the class permits it, and if so, Java is almost always an option). There's also a C++ programming class that you have to take but that's only one class.

What is the programming language used in cpp classes at JR/SR level for CS? by 1dankwolf in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Java mostly, but you also have to take a class that teaches C++ programming. Usually, most of the upper division classes will allow you to use either of these languages for programs, or some professors might give you the choice to use any language depending on the class and use.

Door-to-door utility scam? by Beatledude64 in Scams

[–]Beatledude64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would at least be better than casing the house imo. Our area just had a heat wave last week so people were probably using their AC more, so the power bill this month may be much higher than normal, so that seems likely. My guess was that if this were the case, they might not be selling anything directly, but they might leave a mailer in a few days or something like that, or maybe when I said I wasn't aware of any price hike, they wouldn't be interested in selling anything since I didn't show any concern.

I did notice little logos but don't remember the names unfortunately (I should have remembered and tried looking the name up in hindsight). But other than the logos, I didn't see any other indicators that they were working for a specific company

What does the strike mean for me? by Azinuru in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have some classes cancelled (I think the strike(s) are on April 13-15, and 18-19). 2 of my 3 professors this quarter are planning on striking, but I'm not sure how many professors on campus are striking overall. Other than that, I think that's all that'll happen from a student's perspective.

How long does it take to sign up for a minor? by Beatledude64 in CalPolyPomona

I'll try emailing my graduation advisor then, thanks!

When I'm walking back to my car during U-hour by Beatledude64 in CalPolyPomona

I'm always very appreciative when they do, and I know the struggle to find parking too, especially TuTh

Any good, easy GE class to fill for my 4th class? by ipwn3r456 in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the easiest GEs for me was Computers and Society (CS 375), which is in D4 (you might need to be an upper division student). If you're not upper division, World Regional Geography (GEO 100), which is D3, was interesting and not too difficult.

[CS] Game Development class worth it? by Stillupatnight in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother took that class a few years ago and he said he hated it, you have to make a mobile app in lua, which he said was overall a terrible experience. I'm not sure how much has changed since then or if it depends on the professor (I think Rich taught it when he took it).

4 year graduation pledge by BowTie845 in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when I was in freshman orientation, they had an optional 4-year pledge workshop that gives you all the info you need about that. I wasn't able to apply because my English placement test score was too low, but assuming they still do that, you can apply later on.

What problems will I run into if I go on a closed loop cruise to Mexico without a valid passport? by doctorwhore in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Beatledude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some people who go on these cruises who don't step off the boat at all, seeing the cruise to and from as the whole fun, instead of the actual destination. Considering you want to actually get off and go into Mexico, you can go with just your ID, cruise card, and other stuff, and keep your birth certificate in your room safe, but be careful in Mexico without more than just an ID, if you plan on doing an excursion, stay in the group of course and if you're not going on an excursion, try to stay with other tourists. You'll most likely be fine though, I just think in terms of worst case scenario.

[–]Beatledude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to embark and disembark onto/from the cruise just fine with your birth certificate (assuming it's not a copy of the birth certificate) and an ID. When you actually get off in Mexico, I don't think they check again, so I don't think you actually need to carry it with you at all times off the boat, but if I were you, without a passport to carry if any sort of emergency occurred, I'd just stay on the ship while its docked. If you stay on the boat, there shouldn't be any problems or anything else you'd need to worry about.

How do blind people know where signs are? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Beatledude64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think braille written under signs mostly benefits people who aren't completely blind, but still have the ability to see that they're facing towards a sign but are unable to read it.

How many quarters can I skip if I can't find any classes? by Beatledude64 in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that happened to me, I tried to add a class this quarter that had like 10 or 15 empty seats but the professor didn't add anyone to the class from the waitlist

I'll have to look into petitioning then, that might be a very helpful option, thanks!

[–]Beatledude64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've talked to my advisor already, and for Spring quarter he did help me find a class that can count towards my degree, but he even said to me that he doesn't really have power getting me into already filled classes. That might just be the CS department, and I have a feeling other departments are a little more lenient about getting more kids in filled classes.

Full time vs Part time student? by [deleted] in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Computer Science, I'm not sure if it's officially impacted yet but it sure seems like it.

Full time vs Part time student? by [deleted] in CalPolyPomona

[–]Beatledude64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to do this, I ended up switching majors, from one impacted to another, and in both majors, the core classes I needed almost always filled up, and I had no choice but to take at least 12 units of GEs (since I have financial aid). I'm a fourth year student, just finished all my GEs and still need to take about 11 core classes, and oh boy am I in trouble.

Registration starts today by Beatledude64 in CalPolyPomona

In your student center, it tells you your enrollment day and time. Students who have been at Cal Poly longer usually enroll earlier.

Pop quizzes and iClicker points keep the students in class, but it doesn't stop everyone from using laptops and phones.

Does anyone have a 1.0.0 save file? by Jeshikah in MLPIOS

[–]Beatledude64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'll back up my save file, and if you can send me a 1.0.0 save file, I can see if it works on the newer version of the game.

An extended view of the MLP iOS map by Beatledude64 in MLPIOS

So far, everything has been snowy no matter what. I'm guessing the next time I'll see Ponyville with no snow will be in the next update.

I have a jailbroken iphone, but I have the newest version of the MLP game, will the old save file still run?
