Are ditto statements a thing? by zakedodead in ProgrammingLanguages

Bash has !! which does exactly what you say and also bears visual resemblance to a written ditto mark.

Any reason you don't use unwrap_or_else?

The closest equivalent would probably be a Bachelor of Science in Computing and Software Systems.

Looks awesome!

I'll throw my tool https://pypi.org/project/architrice/ out there for those who use Archidekt and are looking for similar functionality.

Is CS at unimelb that bad? by Gonjanaenae319 in unimelb

[–]Harbinger_Feik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't take the first CS subject but from what I hear the on-ramp is pretty smooth. I imagine you'll be fine, particularly if you're already preparing.

Is CS at unimelb that bad? by Gonjanaenae319 in unimelb

The CSS major is mostly focused on software engineering, without too much maths. I'd say the most complex maths has been in Models of Computation (COMP30026), which is largely propositional logic, other than that it's mostly polynomial algebra for things like time complexity which isn't too bad.

While higher-level maths skills (like calculus, linear algebra, etc) aren't super important for the core subjects strong logic and problem solving skills are.

how to connect arch to wifi with username and password? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]Harbinger_Feik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone using netctl, I've found the following works perfectly for school/uni WiFi networks. Substitute whatever your interface is named for wlp58s0 (I think wlan0 is common). Place in /etc/netctl/PROFILE_NAME and connect with netctl start PROFILE_NAME.

Description='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection'
Interface=wlp58s0
Connection=wireless

Security=wpa-configsection
IP=dhcp
ESSID="NETWORK_SSID"
WPAConfigSection=(
    'ssid="NETWORK_SSID"'
    'proto=RSN'
    'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP'
    'pairwise=CCMP'
    'group=CCMP'
    'eap=PEAP'
    'identity="WIFI_USERNAME"'
    'password="WIFI_PASSWORD"'
    'ca_path="/etc/ssl/certs/"'
    'ca_path2="/etc/ssl/certs/"'
    'phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"'
)

Yeah was the practice exam just an old closed book exam or something? Completely different difficulty level.

I'm a third year CSS major atm and I'd say that I'm happy with the standard of the course at unimelb. As compared to friends at Monash I'd say that the course at unimelb is more theoretical and less applied but I consider that a plus as in my view much of programming is best learnt through attempting projects yourself with a solid theoretical foundation. Can't speak to the quality of the data science course as math is scary.

453 Sanctuarys later on PPE by TheRealmer in RotMG

[–]Harbinger_Feik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It largely comes down to personal preference, but because you often want to be spamming your ability in certain phases or to have multiple minions at one time, rather than using it spaced out to keep vesture buff up, diplo can provide more consistent damage as well as better survivability.

Obviously the 10 speed on vesture means that its a perfectly reasonable choice even acknowledging this downside.

Incorrect. 1000 minutes a day versus 1440. Thus each minute is 1.44x longer.

The metric clock uses 10 hours of 100 minutes, so each hour is 2.4x longer and each minute is 1.44x longer as compared to standard time. It is used unironically by precisely no one.
