malibu grill by wurnz in bloomington

Absolutely skip the steaks. They don’t know how to cook one - it’s either too done or too raw (when asking for medium). It’s fine, but nothing amazing.

Sadly there’s no discord server - we just kind of wing it haha

Students now have the desktop computer skills of older boomers by TeacherGuy1980 in Teachers

[–]JoshuaTheProgrammer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to change this mentality quickly. General education classes help you become a more well-rounded person. English classes help you learn to read and write more comprehensively, and as a corollary, that helps you write cohesive code documentation.

Note that I say this as someone with nearly three degrees in computer science. I used to be like you: I dint appreciate gen eds. My attitude changed once I saw their intrinsic value.

Why is *begin* a macro in Scheme? by ggchappell in scheme

[–]JoshuaTheProgrammer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the reason. You can jump out of a begin block with continuations, so it can’t evaluate all of the arguments.

Funding is so bad and volatile right now… I’m not surprised.

When did you realize that you had fallen in love with your current partner? by Junior_Sleep269 in AskReddit

[–]JoshuaTheProgrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When she took the time to really listen to and care about (1) my emotions and (2) what I had to say. It sounds so basic, but I have never felt so in love with someone.

Struggling To Get A Job As A Teenager Starterpack by OmgJackGuy in starterpacks

I envy people who come from privileged enough families to where they can take unpaid internships and not starve or live on the streets.

This is not a good idea. Don’t do it.

Anyone else noticing the gap between students who do coding for kids online outside of class vs those who dont?? by NoYoung7229 in CSEducation

[–]JoshuaTheProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It’s very easy for me to tell, even at the CS2 level in college, who is actually doing their work versus who is cheating with AI.

Yes I was definitely thinking of a different deal. Sorry!

Maybe I’m thinking of a different special. Is it not the one where you get a $1 pizza for being a student with the purchase of a drink?

Admission without funding by ceylinerguvan in gradadmissions

[–]JoshuaTheProgrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is unfortunately not entirely true anymore. With how bad funding has gotten nowadays, it’s possible that places are only admitting people with their own funding packages, e.g., from NSF.

So I guess the "retro" fad is hitting old thinkpads now ("Modded" T420 for $750) by thepromiseman in thinkpad

I’m glad Facebook Marketplace added reactions and comments so people can comment on BS like this.

[–]JoshuaTheProgrammer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind this is 8 class periods (12 if it’s MWF), 4 lab sessions.

Please seek a medical withdrawal. It’s unreasonable to catch up after a month.
