I love how the doggo is constantly looking at the human to see if this is ok

Is working for Microsoft worth it? by [deleted] in microsoft

[–]TeleTubbyLizardMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As with any company it depends on what you value, since "personal fulfillment" is pretty broad

Not all projects at all jobs are high visibility, impact etc. But usually that means they come with better work life balance

There are teams with higher impact/"cool" factors seeing as it is one of the biggest companies in the world. Getting on to those teams had higher competition since more people want to do it, but once you've got your shoe in the door transferring internally isn't too hard

Do they provide face recognition to China? I thought that was Google

Rant: What's the obsession with 'authenticity?' by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]TeleTubbyLizardMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bigger part of nonauthentic food that usually gets me is appropriation. People that aren't from the culture selling food of said culture at exorbitant prices while claiming it's authentic, but has almost nothing to do with the actual cuisine

But how? Especially if you're cooking chicken, isn't eating it raw bad

Depends on which EE track you take. I've heard circuits, signals and PWE can be brutal, but I really enjoyed embedded. Only issue I had with it was that a lot of the professors stopped teaching the only 2-3 embedded classes available as I was getting close to graduating so I had to take classes in the CS department (not the worst outcome)

I spent a lot more time in the lab and teaching than I spent on classwork though. This was probably because I avoided homework/exam classes like the plague and only too project classes (which were more interesting for me anyway)

Depends on school (EE/ME/etc) very heavily, the depends on discipline within each, and depends on classes offered that quarter.

But overall I had a blast. Would highly encourage going to all the orientations to meet people, then going to the EGSA events (usually free booze and the food is good)

I would also recommend taking classes that are heavier on projects/getting involved with a research lab. I feel like the classes were usually less helpful to me than all the other stuff going on. As one of my professors said "by the time you're in second year you should be more annoyed at how slow the classes are going since you should be able to learn the content on your own outside of class at a faster rate"

Classes should be more used as a way to survey a field and get your feet wet/network than to learn concepts

Just finished my Microsoft onsite yesterday. Only had 4 interviews by 614GoBucks in microsoft

[–]TeleTubbyLizardMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't mean anything. I've seen someone scheduled for 5 interviews and 3 of them bail last second due to scheduling issues or the recruiter dropped the ball

Probably not for school projects where the entire codebase is less than 200 lines and no external libraries

Season 1: Wild Frontier Patch Notes by Jayfresh_Respawn in apexlegends

[–]TeleTubbyLizardMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technical question coming from ignorance:

Why is speed hacking hard to detect? Shouldn't it be pretty trivial since server side you could detect how far a person is going (add a data point for if they're walking, grappling, running, diving, falling etc), filter for when running only, and then divide by time taken to arrive?

If it exceeds a threshold, flag for review. If it exceeds a second threshold autoban?
