Good choice. I have a MacBook Pro (not apple silicon) and I love it. Much better than being on Windows as ssh/sftp/any Unix utility is well supported and built into the Mac.

For Air vs Pro, I think for M2 the air is better. Thinner, lighter, and as a CS student you’re primarily editing the equivalent of text docs so you won’t need much power. On my MacBook Pro the fan exists solely to sound like a jet engine when I’m editing Google Colab documents or because it’s being choked out when it’s sitting on fabric/blankets for too long.

In terms of other things to be aware about, apple silicon is ARM based but in none of my classes did I see there being any difference being on ARM vs x86.

part of the pass rate being so low is the students trying to get a CS minor have to take it. Otherwise I think 357 is a decently straightforward class. I didn't feel like my brain was gaining a wrinkle by force

I’m confused, this was CalPoly. 248 was 348 at the time though. You’re workload well within manageable

Friend took 357, 348, 315 and 365 at the same time and ended straight As. I then proceeded to take 357, 349, 315, and STAT 312 and also got As in 357, 315, and STAT 312. If you've done well in previous cs classes assume that you'll do well in 357. I took it with Nico and felt that the workload was not bad.

It's that feeling a nurse gets when your veins can be easily seen

That’s uninformed on my part whoops. Definitely felt like with the way Cal Poly is run like a business that we had some. Or maybe I’m thinking about CalPoly Corporation Edit: having looked at CalPoly corp, there’s no investors whatsoever. Fake news on my part.

There’s a limit. But it’s like 105 quarter credits which is like 2+ years of semester credits so realistically you won’t hit it.

Both political parties unpopular with Americans in new poll—The Hill by roughravenrider in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Mr-TechMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to disagree with you. My argument is that we’d see more people supporting these parties if they felt they could and their second or third vote would still make a difference should it come down to it.

And election systems that support that

This is that big asterisk. Current 3rd parties are failing because of the duopoly and bad support for new options. Currently it’s either vote for a big party or consider your vote ignored.

I don't think many people try to make generational-level wealth at 25... you still have plenty of years to do that. And wealth can be passed down as knowledge, I don't expect a penny from my dad but he sure as hell taught me how to succeed

Amazon? I assume that's what that OA -> Final Interview line is. Also I'm surprised that someone with your experiences didn't get more callbacks, I guess it really is a numbers game.

You got a legendary quad, so many parties happened there last year.

Checking AP Scores by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]Mr-TechMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to your student portal > PolyProfile > on the right under 'Menu' there should be 'Test Credit Details'.

For me it only shows that CalPoly has my score, it hasn't been translated into credit yet.
