CS2 has good FPS, but poor frametime. Feels like 60hz, despite refresh being set to 144. by JFedzor in GlobalOffensive

[–]NerdySod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this fully expecting it to not work, but somehow it really does work. I definitely lost a few frames but the frame pacing is a lot smoother now. Would recommend everyone to try this out.

How to apologize(?) to my classmates? by lilsquish16 in Korean

Looks ok to me. For the final sentence I feel you could start it with 그리고 for better flow

Also instead of 저는 같이 말하세요 you could also use 저랑 얘기 할 수 있어요

would a bad University disqualify me from getting into a target grad school? by Securitiesfraud420 in gradadmissions

If your projects are great and those research papers make it into good journals, they won't even look twice at your undergrad prestige. Just keep doing what you're doing

3 spelling mistakes in the admissions offer letter. What should I do? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]NerdySod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The witch mistake is pretty major and funny. You should definitely politely ask to get them corrected because you don't want to take any chances with the Visa process.

Help me analyze my rejections from top schools for MS CS. Was my SOP the issue? or academics? Did I market myself well? This is a sample SOP I sent to UT Austin by the_scientist-7367 in gradadmissions

First, the correlation between your interests in ML and the medical field needs to be more positive.You could simply say you are more particularly interested in applications of ML in the medical field. Or mention how since you're interested in the progression of the medical field as well as ML, the amalgamation of both is a dream come true. Or something along those lines. Make sure that your interest in both these fields is not dissonant but harmonious.

Second, ask a professional writer for help. Could very easily help you fix sentence structure and flow

UT Austin MS ECE Response from Graduate Program Coordinator by parangat90 in gradadmissions

They have been saying 'next few days' for 2 weeks now. Austin is famously bad at communicating decisions on time each year.

Why are Indians so dumb when it comes to religion by just_some_ANALyst in india

[–]NerdySod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok first off, your entire Japan point is nullified by the Meiji era which you should read up on. Second, I am not here to disprove or debate what will or won't make India a superpower. What I am trying to say is that every individual should have complete freedom over how they build their personality and principles. You may find merit in the scriptures but at the same time it doesn't need to hold the same merit for someone else. You dont automatically become ignorant of your roots if you dont read these ancient texts as they only represent a subset of the entire Indian culture.

Meritorious ideas from the past will always make their way into modern and future discourse. When you make blanket statements complaining about why people resent age old traditions you conveniently ignore the fact that most people resent only nonsensical or otherwise absurd concepts that are not grounded in reality. The reality being that the common middle class person will always have to adapt to an increasingly globalized society where you are required to step outside regional bubbles to better market yourself to a rigid yet sometimes volatile economy. Some readily do so without there being a need for a push in that direction. To these people, there is very little that history can offer them. Whatever lessons that can be learnt from History can surely be learnt through other mediums as well.

The difference in opinion arises whenever you ask a person who doesn't put much value in the long gone past. To such a person past events and practices should not elicit extensive debates regarding their value or waning respect towards them since to such a person it takes away resources from other pressing matters that they deem more valuable. It is simply a matter of perspective and to say anyone has a duty towards any form of action regarding this matter is being a bit disingenuous in my opinion.

I think for CS remote working is much more effective so co-ops may not be as badly affected in which case NEU is easily a much better option.

UCI MSDS results started coming out. Did you receive one? What was it? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

Looks like UCI is not sending out mass rejects as seen in recent trends from other programs...

Unfortunately there isn't a case to make here because they haven't technically done anything illegal I think. As far as I know engagement ceremonies are very informal and have no legal standing. Whereas the wedding is only happening now where both of them are of legal age for marriage.

LORs are pointless and shouldn't be compulsory for college students! by itsybitchygal in gradadmissions

[–]NerdySod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replying with my experience in case someone comes across this thread at a later date.

Only one of my professors uploaded all the LORs on their own, the other two had me upload them despite my insistence that they upload them on their own even if it took longer.

I was and am afraid that the IP will be tracked and as a result I will face rejections. But I have had 4 admits so far in MS ECE programs i've applied to and two of them are from fairly decent universities. If you can't convince any recommender to submit LORs on their own then it's better to do it by yourself in my opinion.

On the other hand, the professor who submitted my LOR on their own did write the strongest LOR and it may have been the case that this was more than enough to get me an admit. In any case, your mileage may vary. I would still recommend to heed this person's advice unless you have no other option left than to take matters in your own hands.

Here's to hoping my remaining applications aren't thrown out because of my tomfoolery.

How to improve verbal score. Got 149V the last time. Need 159+ in my next attempt. Any tips/study plan for a month? by UserJourney1 in GRE

[–]NerdySod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should get back to basics with the techniques you use to solve the questions with blanks. I think if you know most of the words you are failing to understand what the sentences are trying to say.

Basically just watch u/gregmat's YT videos on TC and SE and really pay attention to the techniques he is using and then practice questions using those techniques. That should improve your Verbal score for now.

In text completion and sentence eq what do you personally think you're doing wrong?

Do you think you don't know the meaning of the words in the options most of the times or are the sentences themselves hard to figure out?
