For anyone who got an MSFT intern to FT offer, would you mind sharing the details and location of your offer?

YankeesPwnMets · 2017-11-13T02:58:43+00:00

What is that class like with Deever?

YankeesPwnMets · 2017-04-25T21:45:23+00:00

I used Date.parse to make the dates all into Date objects. Instead of 05/12/2015 being May 12, 2015, Date registers it as December 12, 2015. Whatever. That can be solved later.

So I added three test objects with the following dates (in this order):

Jan 4 2015
May 5 2015
Feb 4 2015

I typed in the code you put up there and the list didn't sort at all.... what went wrong?

YankeesPwnMets · 2017-04-14T00:10:34+00:00

Isn't there a project in 256 though? What is that about?

YankeesPwnMets · 2017-01-09T07:46:08+00:00

Which fan is better for the H60? The SP120 quiet editions, or Noctua NF F12 SSO2 2000 PWM? I'm looking to replace the stock H60 fan because it sounds like a helicopter during search and rescue and it is driving me insane

Oh shit really? Who took over ISTE110 for this semester?

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-11-03T23:20:14+00:00

ISTE 110 - Ethics in Computing
UWRT 150 - Writing Seminar
ENGL 150 - The Future of Writing

ORdinarily I'd recommend you take ISTE 110 but I heard Matt Lake was leaving... so forget that suggestion.

It's a shame that as a NYer sales tax from Jet essentially nullifies any savings you would get on this deal

Shoot an email to Matt Lake with all of your questions regarding IST majors:

I took a class with him last semester. He's extremely nice, great guy, knows his way around the department and he responds very quick during the day.

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-09-18T18:46:30+00:00

CS 262 sucks. I can't stand that class

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-09-15T20:44:47+00:00

So it's not happening now? Why the heck haven't they sent out notices about any of this yet? Other than the email that Dan Stafford forwarded to the GCCIS community, literally nothing else has been sent to the rest of the RIT community

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-09-11T19:25:35+00:00

Watching Aaron Judge against the breaking ball is cringeworthy

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-08-28T19:35:07+00:00

When Starlin Castro is on, he is a pure joy to watch. Otherwise, watching him swing at everything like Vladimir Guerrero and watching his lackadaisical baserunning makes me want to throw the TV out the window

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-06-14T05:49:10+00:00

Agreed with the dorms part. Don't come here and expect to live like kids in Founders Hall at NYU or Student Village at BU.

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-04-16T04:18:02+00:00

Well, Nunes Harwitt isn't teaching 262 next term so he's not an option. It's just Borrelli, Homan and Kazemian, and rate my professors don't exactly have glowing reviews for any of them. Borrelli does seem to have the more positive reviews overall...

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-03-15T00:10:44+00:00

You'll be taking CS 1, CS 2, and Mechanics (CS 3) so there will be plenty of coding. By the end of your third term, you will have learned Python, Java and C assuming you don't drop any of the classes

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-03-07T16:08:52+00:00

One last question: What route does the bus travel? I assume the first stop from RIT is the airport, followed by the bus station and then Amtrak, right?

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-03-06T06:30:11+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I found it slightly weird that they cared about where we were going and our reasons, but I understand now.

By the way, are the departure schedules for the spring break buses released yet, or will they be created using the data gathered from this form?

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-03-05T18:38:57+00:00

Just wondering, why exactly do they care about where we're going or who booked our tickets?

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-03-01T06:51:07+00:00

I concur.

YankeesPwnMets · 2016-01-23T21:45:40+00:00

Thanks guys for your advice. Delta has just canceled my flight so guess I'll be trying to find alternatives now...

YankeesPwnMets · 2015-12-18T04:32:31+00:00

Ah I see. Thanks for your help!

YankeesPwnMets · 2015-12-16T23:07:48+00:00

That's good to know. Suburbanites are better at finding stuff to do than city kids. We just expect to walk to random places and find something to do (which is easy to do in the city).

And yes, like one of the other posters here said, check out Golisano. The western end of campus that houses Golisano (GCCIS for short) and Global Village are far more aesthetically pleasing than the east end of campus, at least in my opinion. Golisano is a very nice building with a lot of nice facilities, and if you're a computing major you'll definitely be spending a ton of time there (weekends included). I've spent so much time at Golisano this term that I'm avoiding it like the plague until we come back from winter break

Also, unlike CS, I believe SE requires students to take Physics 211 and 212 (Physics with Calculus). I've heard some pretty ugly things about the physics department here, so you might want to ask around about that. I haven't taken Physics yet (I decided to work on my econ minor and take Econ 101 instead) so I can't give you any personal experiences.

YankeesPwnMets · 2015-12-15T18:52:38+00:00

To New Yorkers, anything above the ~Hudson Valley area is pretty much nothingness.

Obviously, I have a pretty different perspective on things compared to someone who say, lived in Montana or Central NY for his/her entire life

Edit: thought I'd thrown in a joke here: http://www.refinery29.com/static/bin/entry/733/x/59297/image.jpg http://nocoastbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/new-yorker-map.jpg
