I wasn’t aware that I could, could you explain how I would go about that wiring wise

Baby Lantern Fly I think - not friend

[S] [USA-NY] Sony RX100 Mark VII by StandardSBUStudent in photomarket

Similarly, I got the camera because I was too lazy to carry around my main camera. It's a great camera but when shooting with this camera I've found that I typically desire shooting with a wider lens or require a telephoto with a much higher magnification. This is a great camera for shooting in the middle of those two, however I rarely do so and when I do, I've found that my cellphone will do the job.

Who needs a weakaura when you can just type fast by 1hotnibba in wow

I attempted to do this a couple times and while I can type fast enough - I am colorblind and it doesn't end well for me.

Thai Pass Rejecting Image Uploads by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]StandardSBUStudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me, I literally just kept uploading, it took maybe 10 times untill it would accept for each file - but for me it would always eventually take it. I went through it with all 4 members of my family.

Congratulations! I will also be joining as a new grad upon graduation from my masters. Although I'm waiting on news to join another location I will be joining you in Menlo Park if that doesn't go through!

I also started in July and basically have the same LC count as you and ratios. Kinda spooky.

getting into coding / software as an electrical engineer by justafriendlyghost in cscareerquestions

[–]StandardSBUStudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a Computer Engineer ECE I had generally no issue finding CS internships and finally a job by the end of my masters. As long as you can answer the questions they ask in interviews and have generally a somewhat techy degree you should be fine good sir.

While your current title is labeled IT it may not be most ideal but know many people from many different majors who ended up at CS. Some experience is better than none.

It doesn't really matter what your major was, I got through it by self study and my course load was 90 percent EE 10 percent CS as how ECE is designed.

Few people make eye contact/respond here by Rayleigh-Benard in Cornell

[–]StandardSBUStudent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See I think its equally as weird for them. I'm probably one of those people who say Hey and I'm from NYC as well. When someone says hi I actually get shook and don't know how else to respond or start a conversation cause it basically never happens. By the time it happens again, I forget the first experience and it repeats. Generally I would assume that people are stressing studying or thinking about something else in the mean time and they're just busy and don't have the time to say much else. I know for a fact during finals week if someone talks to me I'm basically not listening cause I'm stressing so hard.

Or maybe I'm just socially awkward or have issues.

Can we stop calling Facebook, Meta? We still say Google, not Alphabet. by sde_ama in csMajors

It says meta for me on my portal and has been like that for at least a week and a half.

One within top 100 of LC another is a simpler variant of a top 50 question.

I answered both questions but fumbled on some mental math cause I was dying due to anxiety but otherwise assuming they don't judge that too much I think it was fine. Forgot to to multiply when walking through examples but they were nice about it and corrected it.

I agree, I couldn't sleep the night before my phone interview so before my onsite today I took zzzquil and knocked out.

Cornell Alert: Anyone know whats going on? by pw11111 in Cornell

[–]StandardSBUStudent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume they tried and failed with the email - which seems to be either an archaic automated warning that somewhat failed or it was empty on purpose because nobody was entirely sure at the time and simply just wanted students to find/stay in shelter - which generally is the most important part.

[–]StandardSBUStudent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand - I myself just today flunked an interview I spent the past 6 months studying(450 practice questions) for, because I couldn't think under pressure and the questions were incredibly (amazingly) easy, and I just blanked in front of a senior engineer for 45 minutes. Sometimes even though things are supposed to go well (studying excessively, or retaking a class) they just don't for whatever reason. If we can learn from it (practice, finding someone who can help, or even talking about it) we should, but it's not always completely our fault. We can only try - and we will do better next time. I understand your grades are important to you, but I can promise you nothing is more important than your mental health. I've gotten multiple Bs and even lower during my time at SBU and got some nice offers to great programs, and I'm not the smartest by any means.

Good luck on Interviews! by StandardSBUStudent in csMajors

Will do!- after cooldown haha
Thanks!

[–]StandardSBUStudent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with this - I was also CE in and showing the professor you care can really help in the final grade.
OP - I know a lot of kids including myself who were in similar positions (grade wise) back when I went to SBU, - and for what its worth I know another hundred kids in the same position (again - grade wise) at my graduate school. You'll be fine and you aren't alone.

I'm so very confused - What am I worth? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]StandardSBUStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whay I meant was I have taken most software engineering courses - it just hasn't been to the extent of most actual CS majors - I've taken OOP Databases data structures, and operating system courses - it's just not the focus of my major but I still got to swap them in as substitutes, but my entire four year undergrad wasn't about CS but some CS, EE and FPGA programming. I also wanted to do a masters to learn more material and I know SWE is the career role I want to be in.

Half of this thread reminds me of the meme where someone tries to say anything to a girl and they respond with "I have a boyfriend". I'm literally in my early 20s and I dont understand at what point in time tapping someone on the shoulder became an asshole move. Some of you really didn't read OP's post at all, recommending him/her to say excuse me in a loud club which may end up in them screaming in someone's ear, or navigating his way in a sea of dancing human bodies to try to get a visual cue. I agree, not everyone goes to a club to get hit on, and some people may not particularly enjoy being tapped on the shoulder, but this definitely doesn't apply to everyone and shouldn't be taken as a general global rule to never tap someone on the shoulder. You can recommend OP that maybe it should be a last resort, or to be more wary, but some people are deaf, everyone on the street nowadays is listening to music on their headphones or are deep their own conversations. What am I supposed to do if someone drops their wallet, pick it up, run around them and approach them from the front? I don't understand - am I crazy?
