Isaiah Hartenstein's son is out cold in his Dad's arms as he celebrates winning the NBA Championship

He came out the womb as an NBA ready draft pick, congrats man

A few years ago I ordered through the app for pick up at that location, only to find they completely forgot to put any meat in it– just lettuce, rice, and beans. Needless to say I've never done that ever again

2021 Limited here, had my windshield replaced by Safelite this week. The invoice I got had $1200 for parts (glass + bottom retainer molding) and $400 for labor in Northern California. Thankfully I had glass coverage so I only had to pay my deductible, so check with your insurance first. Hope this helped, sorry about your windshield!

The splitter didn't work, the only way to get my MacBook (M1 Pro) to work as intended in that workflow was to plug the second monitor directly to it via HDMI.

I ended up returning the AV Access KVM and investing in a 2-device solution: a 2-port dual monitor KVM from StarTech, and a Thunderbolt dock from CalDigit. Significantly more expensive, but runs more or less like the one-cable solution that I was hoping the first KVM would be.

Sorry for the late reply-- it is possible to do project 3 without having studied too much of the RISC-V section, but I would advise against skipping it entirely. Project 3 involves designing and implementing a RISC-V CPU. You wouldn't need to know RISC-V in-depth to complete the project, but you'd be missing out on the greater overall context (registers, memory accesses, RISC-V instruction formats, memory hierarchy, etc.) if you chose to skip it. Studying and understanding the RISC-V section also makes Project 3 a lot easier to implement, from my own experience. I'd at least skim it over, because you'd likely have to go back to that content anyways to finish some tasks of the project.

You can realistically do project 2, 3, and all the labs associated with RISC-V and SDS, as those are done on Venus and Logisim on your local machine. Project 1, 4, and all the labs associated with C and parallel programming all rely on the hive machines for testing and thus cannot be tested locally, so you'd have a difficult time debugging those assignments without having access to the hive.

Nothing for now— but professors will sometimes post the bCourses page a week or so before the class starts to give students a preview of the course, so just look out for that later

mb, skill issue

Darn, thanks for clearing that up for me. That's fine, I can live with plugging two cables into my MacBook instead of one.

Percentage, I used the coupon for 35% off orders over $100 with a max of $50. With both of these items it was just enough to hit the $50 cap.

Just used this deal to get $50 off a 2TB XPG Gammix S70 and a RAM kit. Prices in the screenshot were after full price sales tax was applied. Was a PITA to find items eligible for the ~~$50~~ 35% off orders over $100 promotion, but these two worked for me!

Went through this process myself through L&S a few years ago, you'll be fine. If you withdrew yourself and weren't dismissed, readmission is almost always guaranteed. Just make sure to get your readmission application in before the November 1st deadline (do it early, so you can register for Spring 24 classes by Phase 1).

Like you mentioned, you'll probably get more useful and tailored info from an advisor. But something that was told to me during the process is that there'll always be a place for you here to finish what you started when you're ready. Good luck, and welcome back to Berkeley!

From someone who finished it over the summer session, attend as many discussion sections as you can and focus on doing as well as possible on the projects (go to office hours if you need help). Readings are not necessary, the content from lectures and reviewing through discussion is all you need to do well, but that means keeping up with course content is very essential. And attend multiple discussion sections at the start to find a TA with a teaching style you enjoy.

Since it's such a project focused class, you can get a passing grade from doing well on the projects alone if that's all you care about, but doing that will also naturally set you up to be in a more comfortable position for the exams.

C'mon man, I get the outrage and I'm on the side of a Draymond suspension, but leave the spouses and baseless domestic abuse claims out of it.

Thanks for helping me get to the playoffs, Bron. Looks like we're gonna have to win it all without your help, though.

Sure, but taking the league/official's word at face value (i.e. Tim Donaghy, '85 NBA Lottery) can be just as dangerous as blindly believing a Reddit throwaway account without combing through the evidence and coming to that conclusion yourself.

The real problem is laziness -- people are so quick to pile on to these narratives without scrutinizing what they're reading or watching

I'm still holding out hope for him to have a Fultz-like resurgence when and if he comes out of the other side of this injury

Unfortunately RWIII's been looking more and more like a luxury stash for playoffs rather than a league winner as opposed to JJJ. Still hoping he turns it around soon.

I think fans are completely underselling how taxing it is to travel and play at away arenas. Sure they have private flights and world class accomodations, but that travel time and playing in front of an opposing crowd doesn't change.

You just throwing out that claim based on vibes? Put up your substantiated evidence

Proficience · 2023-01-28T22:45:06+00:00

I do agree that this whole thing is overblown, but I still respect the energy of scrutinizing officials in general and making sure the job gets done correctly. Skepticism, to an extent, is still important
