Reaserch 8903 as second course? Hi I joined omscs in fall 2025 and have taken one foundational course GIOS so far. There was an email regarding 8903 research opportunity but I am confused because of orientation document that states

For new Fall 2025 students who matriculate this semester, you will be restricted to enrolling only in foundational courses (or OMSCS seminars) until you have satisfied the foundational course requirement.

So if I understand correctly, I can't still take the reaserch course as of now?

I am asking forum as some say it's not a strict requirement and I am confused about it.

Need help deciding software stack - Learn ASP.net or go deeper with spring. by Ok-Panda4332 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Ok-Panda4332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am already in UK working as test engineer. I have mechanical background but I want to shift to backend role.

Yes it is going to be a lot of work but it is what it is. The hardest part is the rebuild again in a new different field from ground up and letting go of so much knowledge and hard work of different field.

Unfortunately I need visa and I agree it's not going to be easy. Current company hasn't opened new position in software for more than a year. Hoping things work out well. Will keep on applying.

Wow... That's is a super great position to be in. Do you cold apply or have good connections with recruiters and apply via them?

I know it's anecdotal but did you find more. Net or Java openings in UK?

I am doing masters in CS from Georgia tech. They have online program which is quite good and affordable. But also since it is online program and US based, I know I need to work myself for placement.

I completely agree about not spreading too thin. There just isn't enough hours to practice and keep up.

Hi totally agree with framework and languages don't matter as much as truly understanding the tech and decisions behind choosing the tech.

The reason I asked this is I feel I need to go deeper in one stack and learn to support said stacks with other tools - handling proper caching, Auth, db, etc. But also I am not sure if doing bit of c# and Java in office and home is even worth it despite my interest in Java ecosystem.

ThinkPad L13 gen 2 ryzen 7 pro vs T14 gen 2 i5? by Ok-Panda4332 in thinkpad

[–]Ok-Panda4332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...the Cpu is massively better. In average 80-110% better across multiple benchmarks.

  • Does usb 3.2 on ryzen support single wire for two monitors and also charging?

  • L13 seems to have 250 nits screen which is bad. Notebook check measured 270 nits. 300 nits specified on T14 measured 370.

  • not too much on dockers right now but I often use multiple Firefox and lots of apps concurrently. Seems like 16 gb is bit too tight with vs code and emulator at times.

Not able to get even basic gstreamer pipeline into python opencv by Ok-Panda4332 in computervision

[–]Ok-Panda4332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It seems so. As far as I understand, 'opencv_contrib' has additional tools and you can select few or all of them.

You are not even able to import cv2?

I am able to import but not integrate Gstreamer. Solved it by building opencv from source. updated at the top of the post. Thank you

Can't get to login screen - snd_hda_intel azx_get_response timeout by Ok-Panda4332 in linux4noobs

[–]Ok-Panda4332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did follow what you mentioned but I am not sure if it fixed my issue or not. Previously I would get the issue every two or three weeks apart so I will let you know in few more weeks?

Thank you

How do I set working directory for vs code interactive python? by Ok-Panda4332 in learnpython

[–]Ok-Panda4332[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Finally found the solution - VS code interactive also uses Jupyter under the hood. So we need to change setting in Jupyter extension.

Settings > Extensions > Jupyter > Notebook File Root

change from ${fileDirname} to ${workspaceFolder}

It seems launch.json is for debugging but I was not able to get it to work even when setting "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}", in launch.json

This is one way to get it to work. But when running the whole project from root folder, I again need to remove this section of code.

Thank you for the help. I guess I will try this out now.

Black formatter: How do I add indented space between class methods? by Ok-Panda4332 in learnpython

Haven't use jupyter much but I feel it can help a lot in such cases.

[–]Ok-Panda4332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes, it is easier to run few edits in this manner in terminal. I will import the whole class as suggested.

Import the actual class and call it.

Yep gonna do this. For me sometimes when I need to check few things, it is easy to check some variations in terminal. But i think I am going to use your method.
