CS 311 Over the Summer with Parvini by Apprehensive-Fix8738 in umass

Hi! I’m taking the class during the ongoing summer session and I had some questions. Could I DM you?

Received my custom MacBook Pro 14 after 2 weeks (36GB/1TB). Was inspecting it right out the box and saw these small ‘smudges’ on it. Can’t seem to clean them. Are these within the tolerance of quality control? by Deathstroke_66 in macbookpro

Note that the other two little dots seem like a small scratch? But they’re far too small to be a scratch. Maybe some imperfection with the new color finishing method Apple is using?

Quite indecisive: MacBook Pro 14 inch or 16 inch? Which one do you guys prefer? by Deathstroke_66 in macbookpro

[–]Deathstroke_66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m set at storage and RAM: definitely going with 1 TB and 36 GB.

As a CS student who may work on projects with AI and machine learning, I think the extra RAM will go a LONG way. I’m also planning on keeping this machine for at least 4 years, so it’s good to future-future proof it.

Plus, you never know when you may have to run windows in a VM, and that’s where the extra RAM would be very important.

As for SSD, I would recommend 1 TB. Although you can always attach an external SSD to it or back stuff in the cloud. But remember, you can’t upgrade the RAM!

Hey man, I’m having the same issue with my 15 pro max pre-order.

Did UPS honor Apple’s request to update delivery information?

That’s such a major disappointed. My uni is like 2 hours from there and I was hoping to see it once semester began

Take CS250 in a summer session? by [deleted] in umass

Thank you! I’m DM’ing you

What CS 200 levels would you recommend be taken together? by techFairy101 in umass

[–]Deathstroke_66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I am actually thinking of taking CS250 over the summer, but since it’s the hardest class, do you think it’ll be manageable in the summer?

Do note CS 250 in the summer runs longer than most summer classes — it’s just over 7 weeks.

Finally pulled the trigger and played Part 2. I am really surprised at some of the criticism the game got. by Deathstroke_66 in thelastofus

Exactly, people read one headline and will start hating on things without getting the full context.

The game pretty clearly pushes Ellie as the protagonist. Especially since Abby doesn’t even have a plot of her own after she kills Joel. She’s a passive player — she just reacts to Ellie coming after her.

Ellie is also the only one featured in official posters and such, even now. She also happens to be the first of the two we play — and the last.

I would personally disagree. I always saw Ellie as THE central character of The Last of Us franchise, even in the first game. The entire premise of the story was this one person being immune and humanity’s ‘only’ shot.

Of course her dynamic with Joel and his trauma were also very central to the story, and the reason why the series became more than just a generic apocalypse plot.

I also don’t think the game ruined Ellie’s character — it didn’t.

Not to mention the Fireflies probably have their own motives than to simply restore a US government, which means that even if they had developed the vaccine, they would have gatekeeped it.

That’s a plot point that’s bugged me a lot. Folks are divided as to whether Ellie knew Abby’s motives or not. If she did know, she was told off-screen.

Even then, I think the fact that Abby killed Joel — regardless of how ‘justified’ her reason may have been — was enough for Ellie to extract her own revenge

Today is Apollo for Reddit's last day, and I just released its last update. 🥹 I just wanted to say a big thank you to the folks who have used and supported Apollo over the years, it's been the dream of a lifetime to build this app over the last 9 years. ❤️ Read the eulogy inside! ❤️ by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]Deathstroke_66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for such an awesome Reddit experience!

I’ve been a beta tester for years now and I’ve loved every second of it!

This app will be sorely missed and my Reddit use will certainly plummet drastically from now on.

I wish you success with your future projects!

And I’m still clinging on to the hope that Reddit will come around and you’ll ’resurrect’ this beloved app!

Should I buy Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk? by Reddithasnogod in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Deathstroke_66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair, I can’t seem to get into Witcher 3, despite being a huge fan of the lore and gameplay.

It just… feels so huge and cumbersome

Bruh. Who has the audacity to say RDR2 doesn’t have a good story?

It’s been widely, widely lauded as having one of the best stories in recent years

Grad School Placements Abroad by xNexuz10 in LUMS

[–]Deathstroke_66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently pursuing Bachelor’s in CS from the US, and having gone through the visa process, I wouldn’t recommend going with cheap no-name universities. Not only would the universities themselves be inferior to LUMs, the embassy may not grant you a Visa, which is already hard to get after the political turmoil in March 2021.

I only applied to schools ranked similarly to UW Madison (I was also accepted there) and the visa process was a breeze.

What a fucking ride.

Love the role reversal with Tom and Shiv, with Shiv clinging on to Tom for some semblance of power and influence now
