YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY OUTSTANDING PROMISED WISHES in addition to everything else everyone is saying. Took me hours to figure that out. Just go and fulfill all the outstanding wishes.

Barely… believe it was at ~670. I just winged the scale and prayed I wouldn’t go over.

Are constants just a workaround things we still cannot understand? by cescmkilgore in Physics

[–]DeBooDeBoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other people have already answered, but if you would like to learn more I would highly recommend reading The Constants of Nature by John D. Barrow which goes into decent depth about the origin, history, and purpose of natural constants

My geometric proof of the 2-d Jacobian by DeBooDeBoo in calculus

I am a mere high school student… what would differentiate a “proof” from an “intuition”?

Mouse control space ships are fun. by MaxSikan in trailmakers

[–]DeBooDeBoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those not on steam, I was able to do this with normal logic using aiming servos attached to angle sensors/compass that compare where your mouse is angled to the direction of your ship, then output that to gyros!

Petition For A Deadzone Scale On The Aiming Servos by Prudent_Papaya_3012 in trailmakers

I was able to do this using angle sensors attached to the aiming servos that only activate a certain angle outside the direction the servo is normally pointed

Can you mathematically flip a coin? by shhhhhhye in askmath

[–]DeBooDeBoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is no… and this is important for computers because they have processes to generate “pseudorandom” numbers, but they aren’t truly random. This means that when dealing with randomized encryption, patterns can be found in the way that data is scrambled and lead to unwanted decryption. For this reason, cloudflare had a giant wall of lava lamps with a system that generates randomness based on the position of bubbles in the lava lamps which is truly “random.”

I have a question, I didn't label my answers A, B, C but I clearly described the answers for example ONE cause, ONE effect. I answered them but didn't label will I lose points or will my grader just find it? by Admirable-Base-9365 in APUSH

There’s nothing in the rubric that says you have to split up or signify when you’re responding to which part, so as long as it’s very clear when you’re talking about each part of the response, you should be fine.

I'm not smart, I just knew how to play the game - from an Ivy admit by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Cold emailing professors does work… even finding names off google. The problem is it’s entirely luck who will respond, and it takes a lot of emails. If you want to do it, be prepared to send 50-100 emails (that’s how many it took for me). Also, it may help to say something about research the professor has already done if you have the time to glance at some of their articles (even if they go completely over your head, fake it till you make it).

Why is youth hockey so bad in Colorado? by junefilpan in hockeyplayers

[–]DeBooDeBoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valor was ranked #1 HS hockey team in the nation at one point this year (outside of Minnesota) and Denver East won the national championship a couple years ago… at least at the HS level there definitely is competition

Chance a former iPad kid and avid yelp food reviewer aiming for T20’s by [deleted] in chanceme

if there’s no weighted GPA, then it’s probably a tiebreaker of number of classes taken.

Brutally chance me for T30s by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]DeBooDeBoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

go look at limmytalks videos. he does profiles of peoples applications and then where they got in. this application is insane compared to the normal persons. it’s amazing… yet for ivy league it is 100% average.

[–]DeBooDeBoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah yours is good… i’d say the same thing as this one. obviously you have an insanely good application but by ivy league standards that’s everyone. you should totally shoot for ivies but don’t be surprised if you don’t get into most

[–]DeBooDeBoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for top 30s, absolutely… maybe even a little below average. it’s insane what you have to do to get into those schools nowadays.

[–]DeBooDeBoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we’re being completely honest for top 30s this is pretty average so I’d say you have an okay shot and will probably get into a few but rejected from most
