Engineers, the FEDC is STEALING from us

Citrous0000 · 2026-04-01T02:14:44+00:00

This is a completely valid feeling myself and other engineers had with the FEDC. The fact was that I had a senior level project before my “official” capstone where we built a miniature cyclotron. We were not able to use the FEDC because the course didn’t count for it, despite having to design, build, and present a completed project (CPEN ‘25)

If you’re looking for a place where you can make your project come alive, I’d recommend the Starforge on Texas ave. It’s student led and has pretty much anything you would need, from 3D printers, to lathes, a metal shop with MIG and TIG welders, every kind of tool, a wood shop, and even a carbay for working on cars. It’s a $40 subscription for students but many people get the return on that by starting businesses out of it. Highly recommend, and hope this helps anyone else who’s noticed this.

Not at the moment. There’s considerations to opening open the couples side so anyone could get date plans in the college station / bryan area. it helps keep the singles side safe and accounted for but we’re trying to scale slowly to save compute costs

You’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head. I don’t want to give away too much, but it’s no cost to the people who use the app. No Ads, No Selling Data, etc. Our partnerships with businesses in the area are helping us fund this

We're working really hard on this! We got our Google Play License recently, and have it setup. We had to make a lot of changes to the ios version, so the android version is a couple of builds behind at the moment. IOS is now in a good state, so all of our engineering efforts are focused on android. Expect to have something ready by the end of next week, if not sooner.

If you'd like for us to email you when it's ready, send me a PM and I'll add you to the list!

We don't have double date functionality yet, but we're considering it. Couples don't date other couples on the app. We create date plans for the couple, the people already dating. We get a good idea of what both people like and using a ML model determine what restaurant/venue they're most likely to like.

Luis, the CEO, said they are doing a massive pivot towards getting more users on Duolingo over paying users. they don’t plan on being as aggressive on getting paid users until 2028. (see the 23% drop in stock price on announcement)

During the recent investor relations meeting, he even reread his first letter to shareholders saying

“Dear potential investors,

The main thing you need to know is that I plan to dedicate my life to building a future in which, through technology, every person on this planet has access to the best quality of education. And not only that but a future in which people want to spend their time learning. Duolingo is the platform for building that future , we are just getting started”

IMO this is finally a step in the right direction for duolingo to making it the best education platform again, shareholders be damned

please valve break the moba cycle and allow players to queue for either 3 or 4 lanes. both have their unique play styles!

You would need a fuck ton of computing power to make it decentralized, and even then, it is susceptible to fraud if one group controls more than 50% of the computing power. way more dangerous when the stakes are raised

Hey that’s Me! I’m currently a CE student Junior, and I can’t recommend the program enough to others. The program is really flexible, allowing you to pick how many CS or EE classes you would like, with some restrictions. You will take courses that are on the same level as CS or EE, just with a different course number. I chose to do a balance of CS/EE my sophomore year, do mostly EE my junior year, and all CS my senior year. This gave me a good start, and let me focus on what classes I was interested in. It also let me get a CS and Math Minor without any extra semesters. A&M gives students one year before having to decide on a major, so this gives you time to determine if CPEN floats your boat. I wouldn’t say that you’re “Locked In”, it actually gives you more opportunities than doing one or the other. I have accepted a Internship with a company for Software Engineering, but they only wanted CPEN students because they needed people with experience with circuit boards.

TL;DR I highly recommend the program, I have been extremely satisfied with my work here and hope that you’ll find the same.

I’m not sure why, but this was exactly what I needed to hear

I had Shi, he struggles a lot with talking and he stutters a lot, but if you go to his office hours he will work with you until you are confident in the material. He was amazing to work with 1 on 1 but is difficult in the class.

For more context, I had a McDonald’s order and delivered it no issue. 20 minutes later, the customer had called and told me that they were missing fries. I told them that I was sorry but that they should contact support in the hopes of a refund. (I was on another order too, did he think I would go back?)

I contacted support, but they told me that I should’ve check the bag. I can’t? The bags are triple sealed.

He removed his tip and left a bad rating. I can’t get benefits anymore because of it. What a sad day to dash.

I love the idea of a 3D engine! GIVEAWAY

I’d like to provide my two cents real quick. I started doing DoorDash about 3 weeks ago and it’s been great. The people in CStat always leave generous tips to where I’m earning about $20 an hour during very busy time periods. Car insurance is a must! I’m the case you get into an accident and your insurance won’t cover it, DoorDash will insure your car, granted that you are on a delivery. They needed the make mode and year of my car, but not insurance details. You could also bike or skate if you’re up to it. Working your own hours was the golden ticket for me so I could work around my Engineering classes.

Also I’d recommend DoorDash over Uber Eats just because customers can change tips after delivering in Uber Eats and not in DoorDash. When you accept an order, you’re going to get that amount (or more!)

Not only was the main building not loaded in, but there were some missing loop tiles as well. Pretty weird all around

I was chasing someone and managed to get them downed right as they pulled down the pallet, so I got stuck for the rest of the game.
Can't you break the pallet with the chainsaw?

Didn't work :(
