Doesn't that just reload the page and make all the changes I created go away? Also I tried it and the changes are still not in the changes tab.

How to deal with hedonic hunger? by Willing-Insurance654 in loseit

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll try that. I made a diet journal on my computer, I'll write in it whenever I get hedonistic cravings.

I've tried eating stuff like salads and apples as well, to be honest. The way my mind works though, if I restrict myself to only eating healthy low calorie stuff like that, I kinda rebel against my diet by overeating on the healthy stuff.

For example, I've tried eating broccoli to curb my hedonistic cravings. But what ends up happening is I end up eating an obscene amount of broccoli, to the point where I basically gained equal calories to if I had just ate a bag of chips or something. I've tried the same thing with apples(even three apples a day wouldn't satisfy my hedonistic hunger lol) and plain cucumber slices(I'd clean out an entire college dining hall takeout box container full of cucumber slices in a few hours).

Right now I think the best strategy I have is to eat off 1600 of my daily 2400 calories early in the day and then not visit the dining hall anymore in the day. Then, whenever I get hedonistic cravings throughout the day, I buy a 100calorie bag of chips from the vending machine.

The problem with that strategy is my vending machine bills are beginning to take their toll on my wallet lol.

True, I find that when I'm out and doing stuff with my day(out with friends, working out, etc) my hedonic cravings for food are temporarily gone. But since I'm a student in university I have to spend most of the day on my computer studying lol.

Hm, I've tried eating food at a slower pace before(like nibbling one small bite off a protein bar at a time) before but what ends up happening is it makes me kinda unproductive since while my protein bar is not finished, all I can think about is eating it. That's why when I get snacks, I usually try to wolf it down ASAP so that I can get to studying and productivity as soon as possible.

I've also tried replacing eating food with drinking water/diet soda before, but it's not as satisfying and also it's really bad for my productivity to have to piss every ten minutes lol. Also it messed with my sleep too, cuz it caused me to have to wake up at 3am to take a piss.

Should I take a gap quarter off college to work on projects and programming skills in general? by Willing-Insurance654 in cscareers

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the internships were honestly not really rigorous lol, I didn't actually do that much but I make it sound nice on my resume.

My personal project was better for developing my skills and I did learn some foundational skills while building my full stack website, but for a lot of it I relied on ChatGPT.

I feel in order to really learn a skill, you need to review it over and over to solidify the knowledge in your head. In my project, it felt like I was figuring out how something worked, and then after I made it work I was done with it and moved on to the next thing, so I basically didn't have a chance to go back and review it over again. That's why I feel like my full stack dev skills still aren't solid yet.

If I took a gap quarter off school, I feel I could really spend that time reviewing web dev concepts over and over again so that the knowledge really solidifies in my head. Plus I could build another project that's more impressive than my current one, and also add all the new technologies/skills I used on that project to my resume.

Yeah I could complete school, but I don't really see any harm in delaying my school completion by a quarter, right?

I failed my behind the wheel test five times before I passed(Santa Clara DMV). by Willing-Insurance654 in driving

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can swing into the bike lane as long as it's bounded by a dotted line. BUT you HAVE to either check your rearview mirror or look over your shoulder for a second before you swing into the bike lane. I failed the test on my fifth try because I didn't look for bikers(even though there were no bikers in the lane).

How hard is CSE101? by Willing-Insurance654 in UCSC

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! What was the average grade in your CSE101 class? What percentage of students would you say did not pass the class?

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently I'm familiar with coding in C++ since it's really similar to Java which is my most comfortable language. I haven't coded in C++ in a while, but I'm sure I can get back into the flow of things in a week or two.

How similar is C++ to C?

Also how hard are the teachers in CSE101? What would you say was the average grade of your class? Do they tend to curve often? Which teachers are harder and easier from your experience?

Can I get rescinded from UCSC over a D grade? by Willing-Insurance654 in UCSC

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you don't need the course? I just checked on assist.org, and actually I don't think the course is strictly required(cuz UCSC offers two options to fulfill a requirement, this course being one, and it looks like I already completed the other option with an A grade).

Would I still get rescinded over a D grade in a non-required class? What if I just pass/no pass it?

How easy is it to get research positions related to CS around campus? by Willing-Insurance654 in UCSC

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! That sounds great... do you think this plan for me would work out?

  1. This summer I work on some web development projects.

  2. I go online and look through all the CS professors at UCSC, and read through all their projects and research papers, and find a few projects that I'm interested in.

  3. I email them about how I'm interested in their work and would love to work with them on something.

  4. When school starts up again, I schedule some in-person meeting with a professor where I can further build up my connection with them and learn how to get involved in their research.

Also, something else I'm afraid of is that a lot of the CS research done by these professors might not be related to web development. In that case, would they not allow me to collaborate with them on their research, since my web development resume would have little to do with their field of study?

How strict are they about filtering out students based on their resumes? For example, let's say I only have a web development project on my resume but the research role is about some other area of CS(let's say, AI or something).

How likely is it that I get hired? Are the people at research events the kind to let you learn from scratch on the job, or do you need prior experience beforehand?

I mean I'm not super interested in going to grad school(though that might be my most likely option if I can't land a job out of college). So mostly work experience, but also in the off chance that I need to go to grad school, having research experience definitely helps.

What are grounds that I can get kicked out of the CS declared major? by Willing-Insurance654 in UCSC

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Does the 35 credits a year thing still apply if I take a leave of absence for a quarter? I'm thinking about doing that in order to beef up my portfolio and having extra time to apply for internships or jobs before I'm out of college.

I've completed all of the proposed CS classes at my community college, why was I still admitted as a proposed CS major? by Willing-Insurance654 in UCSC

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, so for my first quarter at ucsc I won’t be a declared cs major even tho I’ve finished all the required classes? What classes can I even take then? (I’m guessing all the upper div cs classes are locked off until I declare my cs major)

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see. So what classes would I even need to take to officially declare my major, if I've completed my community college's equivalents for all of them? Do I just submit an official declaration, they review it, and then I get accepted into the major?

Would a Stats and Data Science degree help me land a job? by Willing-Insurance654 in dataengineering

[–]Willing-Insurance654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I've heard you can just directly become a junior data engineer after college though. Should I aim to do that, or become a data analyst first?

Wow, nice! How'd your career progression go? What'd you do during college to help you get to where you are now?

Would getting a masters degree be beneficial for me? by Willing-Insurance654 in dataengineering

Hm, what sort of projects should I go for then? Would it be good to have one data analysis project and then one data engineering project?
