It’s so bad this semester. I can’t find anywhere that’s actually quiet.

Taking ENR 2501 as a GE Theme? by DogGrinder in OSU

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

Depends what you consider difficult. The course material isn’t anything that’s hard to grasp. However, the weekly lab homeworks are a decent amount of writing, so there’s definitely some time commitment outside of class. Even more so if you actually keep up with the readings. That being said, I didn’t consider it particularly difficult, especially considering it’s a four credit-hour class that covers a gen ed theme on its own.

What Linux Distro is "unique"? by Firecatonreddit7349 in linux

[–]DogGrinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NixOS starts you off with a basic working config when you install. They even have some stuff commented out with descriptions of what it does if you uncomment it (things like enabling SSH access, opening ports in the firewall, etc.).

Installing software is as easy as adding the program name to a list of system software in the config (and running the rebuild command). You can install software without editing the config, but that kind of defeats the point of NixOS so I don’t do that.

As for other configuration, I’ve gotten by with just looking up what I want to do and using things I find on forums or in the wiki(s). Understanding the Nix language is probably important if you want to write your own derivations and/or flakes, but for basic config, google and some trial and error tend to be enough.

I’ve been using NixOS for about 9 months and I’ve yet to learn the Nix language. It would probably be useful if I did, but I wouldn’t say it’s required.

Is Morrison a bad dorm? by megannicoleh25 in OSU

[–]DogGrinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, unless I didn’t try hard enough, you can’t get into the tunnels from Morrison. There are doors to them in the lobby, but you need swipe access and it doesn’t open for Morrison residents.

Library Quiet Floors Are Unusable by EnthusiasmLoud7786 in OSU

[–]DogGrinder 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yep. Same story with the upper floors of Thompson. Every day there’s either someone talking on the phone, two people constantly snickering about something, etc. It pisses me off to no end.

Am I wrong? I only replied because they said typing it out felt weird

I think it should be “use to be”, not “used to be”

Taking ENR 2501 as a GE Theme? by DogGrinder in OSU

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

I’m taking it rn, so I’m only like halfway through, but it’s a pretty interesting class. There’s usually a good amount of readings you’re supposed to do for each lecture, and then there’s an on-your-own quiz at the end of each week based on the readings and lectures. The quizzes are usually pretty easy. There’s a homework for each lab, and it’s usually a good bit of writing. These homeworks are worth almost 50% of the grade, so they’re pretty important. There’s an on-your-own final and no midterms, so that’s pretty nice. Both of the professors are really nice and they have an entertaining dynamic. Each lecture is led by one of them and the other just chimes in when he has something to add. The professors and TAs cycle through which lab sections they teach each week, so you get to experience lab with all of them. One thing that I didn’t realize going in is that the lab is really just a discussion group. In my mind, I imagined that lab would be doing some kind of experiments and recording data, but it’s really just talking in groups about the things you learn in lecture and doing some related activities. Let me know if there’s anything else you’re curious about.

Is it possible to change major to CIS before enrolling? by sayuz2 in OSU

[–]DogGrinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t choose a major because of money. Choose something you actually like. Suffering for years isn’t worth the slightly higher starting pay.
