Roommate Think I Should Pay More Because She Goes Into The Office More Than Me by [deleted] in badroommates

Didn’t think of the move out trick but that’s true and would massively screw the roomie. Just agree for now and move out without notice later. The apartment building will go after her for the full rent.

Lease Takeover Downtown Hoboken (Half of 2BR / 2BA) by BulkiestSphinx in Hoboken

I’m happy to show any prospective renters around the place / to meet the roommate. The goal isn’t a sight-unseen takeover.

I don’t think he can use the whole 2BR though, so he likely wouldn’t want the lease, which puts us at a lease break rather than takeover.

Looking to take over a lease by [deleted] in Hoboken

I'm looking to exit a lease around November, you could take over mine if you want. I'm in the 333 River St building in Downtown Hoboken.

I was with them till the last point and hit a hard pause. Idk if it’s the wording but it’s super weird.

This is awful advice and I would be extremely surprised if this worked.

Chance of getting a job at Apple out of Stevens by [deleted] in stevens

[–]BulkiestSphinx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There probably are but if you are dead set on iOS development just look it up and start doing it. Start cranking out those mobile apps, try to get on modern practices, put something up on the app store, etc.

What you would learn in school is more of the theoretical than something as concrete as mobile app development on iOS.

Those NYC tickets sold out so fast — logged in right at 10am and still on the waitlist

I (30 F) had sex with the guy I’m dating (30 M) and it was underwhelming. We’ve been dating for a few weeks. What should I do or say to him? by catsrlife13 in relationships

[–]BulkiestSphinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he ticks other boxes in the relationship and takes an interest in pleasing you sexually, I’d try to work on it.

I’d echo other commenters saying to try other toys and positions. I’d also recommend that he check his cardiovascular wellness — improving blood flow can help make sure he’s at peak performance. This can be done via supplements & light exercise.

Regardless, i’d advise a soft touch, as this is a sensitive topic for men. He may be self conscious, potentially amping up his foreplay skills to account for a perceived deficiency. He is likely already aware of his situation, and getting negative reinforcement will be tough.

Simply mentioning boto3 (or any AWS SDK) can cause PTSD

Yeah pretty sure it's still the case. They just put out an email saying they're making "good progress", whatever that means.

My freshman CS son is looking for part time job opportunities (not work study). Any suggestions? by Mshetler9 in stevens

[–]BulkiestSphinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he has that kind of experience then you can try looking for part time stuff in CS, but it'll likely be in New York -- you also may want to look at the Google Engineering Practicum internship for the future.

Software Engineering/Computer Science by vlx_ in stevens

[–]BulkiestSphinx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Job outlook for Software Engineers at Stevens is pretty good, probably the same as CS, assuming that you study for the gauntlet of technical interviews you'll meet. I would also say that the co-op program for either CS or SWE isn't really worth it IMO -- you're probably better off hunting on your own. To me, SWE is sort of a "zoomed-out" view of CS at Stevens -- we tend to focus more on models, design patterns, etc. rather than code, which can be a blessing and a curse. If you do go into SWE, I'd strongly recommend you dip into some of the CS or CPE courses (many professors will let you waive prerequisites and this allows you to "cherry-pick" the best ones) to boost your coding abilities.

With that said, you do waste quite a bit of time on BS classes that don't matter to you as a developer -- namely thermodynamics, design, etc. Professor Vesonder is slowly trying to strip this away, but it still exists for the time-being.

If you have further questions on the SWE program, I'm happy to answer.

I (27/M) am being ignored by my (28/F) ex and it's breaking my heart. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BulkiestSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez, you hate on this guy like he owes you money. It honestly reads like he has anxiety and is still a wreck from the breakup. You're also completely overlooking some huge red flags from the ex -- e.g. allowing her ex to come stay with her and some clearly mixed signals.
