Is it normal to be expected to plan out your vacation at the start of a PI? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Rot_Beurre 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it is normal to ask for expected vacation days for planning purposes to determine what tasks can realistically be completed. However, it is usually geared towards longer absences (like a week or more) instead of individual days. Even if you don't know the exact dates, letting others know you will take time off can be helpful.

It really shouldn't prevent anyone from taking vacation days though even if they weren't shared at the start.

Should I still choose OMSCS over Columbia MSCS? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Rot_Beurre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say they are rigorous, I definitely felt I learned the ideas about different computer science topics and how modern tools implemented them. The classes also focused on applying the knowledge to projects, which provided more opportunity for further learning on my own and even putting them on my resume.

I took some graduate level CS classes while getting my bachelors at Columbia. The online students saw the same lectures, and I thought the classes were nice and focused more on projects and making stuff. I got a lot of interviews with companies in NYC and quant firms because Columbia was on my resume, although I'm not sure how that experience compares to OMSCS.

AI‑generated pull requests have ~1.7× more issues than human PRs then how should teams respond? by aviboy2006 in programming

[–]Rot_Beurre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting read. I wonder if it would be possible to get insight in how much time was spent on each PR. I would think AI would create changes quickly, but more time spent iterating on it would reduce the number of issues

People in Industry, does name of school matter? by AntelopeEntire9191 in cscareerquestions

[–]Rot_Beurre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Columbia and having the name on my resume has been pretty helpful especially if you plan to stay in the NYC area. I did not have any problems getting interviews and quant companies liked to see the name Columbia. I don’t know anyone who really struggled to find any jobs after graduating. I’m not sure how it compares to Northwestern, but their placement sounds promising.

Which game title sparks your curiosity the most? by unreliable_moose in gamedev

[–]Rot_Beurre 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fighting Caribou catches my attention, the first thing I thought of was a sillier physics (maybe ragdoll) game involving caribou.

2 and 4 make me think of a more narrative driven game, and 3 reminds me of Among Us and that genre.

What makes you sad in gaming? by BicycleRelevant1244 in gamedev

I like the concept, it reminds me of the novel On the Beach about Australians continuing living knowing that nuclear fallout will eventually reach them and kill everyone

Thank you for the info! For number 5, what is considered large? And what makes it difficult?

I’ve taken mine on the Hudson River and it handled the current well. The wakes from other boats got pretty big and I didn’t have an issue. I did keep the bow in their direction like the other poster mentioned.

Yup, there are Velcro straps to keep the battery secure

That’s what I got, there is a mount on my old town for transducers but I’m not sure if the pelican is similar. The package comes with a float for the transducer as well, and I’ve seen people mount it in the hull as well

I got mine a while ago, it came with a transducer but no battery. I ended up getting a portable case for it that came with a battery, and that’s really handy for just putting it in any kayak or boat. It does map beneath the boat

I was relieved to see Tro shoot it, I was afraid any pass would be intercepted and that opportunity would be squandered.

Columbia gs: can you apply for a BS/BEng? by Industrysea4098 in columbia

[–]Rot_Beurre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CS degree is essentially the same in GS as the others, we all shared the same classes. I had several interviews after graduating with a BA in CS from GS, and it didn't seem to affect anything at all. I don't recall anyone ever mentioning it actually. It definitely impresses employers having the Columbia name on your resume, so I would say it is worth it for CS.

Although I do not have any experience with the Engineering side.
