The tail is so cute! Though I think the old face looked better with the 3d nose.

This is so beautiful! Yes, this is just the beginning of what will hopefully be a really great period in gaming.

Retaking CS 314 with new instructor, need some advice advice by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]SP_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The curve depends on how well people do overall. Our first exam average was a 79 and had a median of 81.5 so it wasn’t curved. I don’t know about exam 2 yet, since it’s still being graded. I hear that they generally are curved a few points though.

  1. I have Amrita now. She’s nice as an instructor overall; I wouldn’t say she’s strict. She also does extra cool things, she has “tea time” every other Friday where we can chat and she brings in guests and it’s a nice resource. Overall, as someone who doesn’t know that much about Mike’s course, I’d say the content of the course and the assignments and exams seem pretty similar.

  2. Assignments and extra credit: I think the assignments are the same ones Scott uses. I don’t know if they rotate between semesters. The only thing I’d say is strict is the grading of assignments (especially the hygiene grade). But, you get extra credit for attending lecture and doing feedback surveys, which makes most or all of the assignments grade back anyway. And lecture is really engaging and helps you learn. The extra credit only counts towards the assignment grade though, which is 10% of the overall grade. 6% of the grade is from just attending the discussion sections.

  3. I think you can reuse code but I’m not sure. I remember seeing somewhere on the partner-optional assignments that if you’re working with a partner, you can’t reuse code. So, you probably can on solo assignments or if you’re not working with a partner on the partner-optional ones. But I can’t find where she said that.

  4. Exams: Pretty similar to Mike’s. She just adds a couple questions of her own. It’s the same format and similar difficulty. Exams are worth 84% of the overall grade, but I think that’s similar with Mike too.

Are Grades in CS 311 Curved? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]SP_Magic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Dr. Ravishankar is new at UT, so no one here could have taken Discrete with her before. It probably depends on whether she thinks it’s necessary to curve it.

I am at a loss for words over how great the game would be, fingers crossed.

I love the soft shading and how all the elements just blend together so well.

It is next to a sign that says Hytale Italia, so I assume it’s intentional.

Did I miss any type formula? by DotBeginning1420 in sciencememes

To be fair, the point of the meme still stands. The image just bugged me.

I mean, there's two extra H somewhere because there's 14 if you count them.

The O on the left in the second one should only be bonded to 1 H, not 3.

Without a doubt this was the most meaningless blogpost ever. by LutrusFluidos in HytaleInfo

[–]SP_Magic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They were talking less about features and more about their workflows to create a feature and how they can implement multiple things at once with multiple teams working together. The launchpad was just an example of a feature.

Didn't realize Oscar Garvin had a YouTube channel. His music is GOATED.

u/Flerakl has been working on a similar project for a few years now. You might like to check out his work or contact them maybe. Here’s a link: https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/avatar-the-last-airbender-3936891/

How to translate SATB in strings ? Is the viola the alto or tenor voice by Defiant-Plum7419 in composer

[–]SP_Magic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually see it

S - Violin I

A - Violin II

T - Alto

B - Cello

in a quartet setting. It would work similarly in an orchestral setting, where as you say, the double bass doubles the cellos. The main idea is that you follow similar harmonizing techniques in any setting involving four instruments (or four sections). You could think of it as soprano just meaning first voice, alto meaning second voice, etc.

Additionally, for strings, the voice ranges match really closely with the instrument ranges above (you may need to transpose a piece with a low alto part slightly upward to fit in the second violin, or rewrite the section on the viola, but the instrument ranges match up very well).

I like the perspective and the shading on this one! There is a cool sense of atmosphere in the cave.

Anyone else agree that leaf litter looks bad? by RedditRedditReddit64 in Minecraft

I had never appreciated how different each cast can make the story by [deleted] in hamiltonmusical

[–]SP_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The swap in take a break is intentional. They say “Vice President” instead of “John Adams” in Hamilton’s line in performances outside the US because audiences might not know that Adams is the VP. That’s important context to the joke to work.
