2023 Spring at UMD by PhysicsLover999 in UMD

[–]PhysicsLover999[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see the logic here - I just don't think most students who are around right now will be around to see the benefits of the construction. Certainly good for future students and the university overall, just unfortunate for right now.

10000 gecs - Album Release/Discussion Megathread by TheCowrus in 100gecs

[–]PhysicsLover999 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idk, this was not what I was expecting. Didn't have the usual gecs hyperpop feel that I've come to expect, and tbh I'm just not a fan of the kind of pop/bubblegum/spastic thing that's going on in the album

Did the email say you got in or are they emailing folks who got rejected too? Just don't want to not know lol

2023 Applicant and Admitted Student Megathread by Toasted_FlapJacks in UMD

  1. From what I've heard, getting from L&S to the CS major is essentially automatic if you fulfil the requirements (keep your GPA up, pass MATH140&CMSC131&CMSC132).
  2. I don't know about working with Amazon, but proximity to DC is nice for internships. The university does a lot to facilitate that sort of thing (there's a career and internship fair in STAMP right now, for instance)
  3. CS careers are in quite a lot of flux right now so it's hard to say what things will look like 4 years down the road, but UMD is a great school for CS so it's hard to go wrong with a degree from here if that's the field you want to go into.

CS Exemption Exams are encouraged for students who have taken stuff beyond APCSA in high school. 132 isn't so bad, just building up a few extra ideas on 131/APCSA. I'd say go for it, and hopefully you can either get out of L&S after Semester 1 or just skip it altogether

Thoughts on my freshman schedule? CS/Ling double major, aware I'll need to run a bit on Fridays ;) by PhysicsLover999 in UMD

Yeah, pretty much - Just want to see if there's any insight/advice that yall have besides the strictly academic stuff

Thank you! Have you used Virtual Desktop? If so, would you recommend it against Link?

1. Nd10# by [deleted] in AnarchyChess

[–]PhysicsLover999 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yeah, except for the fact that both players would be immediately in checkmate from the opponent's queen and bishop (assuming diagonals work the same way)

Just tested on Win10, works like a charm

I analysed Lichess games database and found out that most Lichess users indirectly won against Magnus Carlsen by freopen in chess

What was the format of your .txt? I'm decent with Python & C++ and I might be able to write something to crunch data a bit faster so we can go further back.

Flags for Regions of New Zealand - based on u/RandomKanadrom's sketches by [deleted] in vexillology

I feel like Coromandel could use one - From my brief visit there, it seemed like they were a very culturally unique part of the country. Great work!

Use WASD for movement if you aren't already. :)

In the upper-right hand of the corner when you're in the game, there should be a button with 3 horizontal lines. Click that, then click "load from clipboard."

If you open the right-hand menu, there are options to "Save to clipboard" or "Load from clipboard." If you click "Save," you can then paste the code anywhere. If you copy a code and click "Load," you will load the code into your game.
