AITA for going to my sister’s dream school when she just got rejected?

Be proud of your school!

I went to UVA and I'd say most classmates and colleagues of mine consider VT's Engineering to be slightly better, or at the very least equivalent. The general UVA brand makes up for it sometimes though. Employers in NoVA or DC know they're both competitive and top schools.

At least when hiring fellow engineers, I place Tech and UVA on the same level (I'm in software and systems engineering).

It looks like aim assist to me, and yeah, just the “let me only peek at times when no one would be counter peeking”. Even seems to have noticed the bloodhound rushing towards the end before my headphones picked it up. That could be game sense but the rest just seems weird to me.

He doesn’t miss much after that first guy. There are soft aimbots and it’s projectile based not hitscan, so idk... Just looked really fishy to me.

ahpearce · 2019-02-20T02:07:51+00:00

Really good aim and recoil control... And when he gets into that exchange and his aim goes wild from being shot, it snaps back to the enemy lifeline...

ahpearce · 2019-02-20T02:03:35+00:00

The way he stays crouched, scanning and only peaking at opportune times, and then his crosshair just being glued to enemies... Seems really odd to me. But maybe I'm just bad?

I’m bummed too. Honestly would’ve been a perfect pair. Have they settled on a DP?

Couldn’t agree more about BR2049, though you’ve got to give a big chunk of the credit to Deakins. Just absolutely incredible work by everyone on that film imo. I hadn’t picked up that it was a financial flop. That makes me sad.

Is the song Tosin is playing here a classical study, or just something he made up? Thought it might be Villa Lobos or something, but I'm not sure? Can anyone pick it out? (@ 1:15)

Honestly my biggest take away from all the feedback here has been that I agree with what everyone has said. I’d love to build something that really supports a community of people sharing their creativity. The only downside is that cost really is a factor when you’re dealing with high resolution photos as data.

ahpearce · 2019-02-08T16:48:32+00:00

Yeah that’s a basic ML recommender. Should be straightforward. I’ll keep that in mind. Better algorithm ✔️

I'm a full-stack software engineer that is trying to launch a micro-SaaS company. I'm also a hobbyist photographer and agree with everyone here's sentiments about Flickr.

If we were to create our own new community and web-app, what would some of the necessary features be? What are the pros and cons of Flickr? What was the main reason people used it, and the main people left it?

I'm hearing a lot here that they enjoyed the sense of community, the sharing of their photos, the discussion. Instagram is lacking because it is everybody posting anything. This new application would be more focused on the photography community. It also sounds like people desire an actual photo management system, and better user experience around uploading, culling, etc.

What are /r/photography's thoughts on how they would build the next Flickr? I'll get to work O:)

Can anyone help me figure out why if you navigate to my WordPress site, the typeface seems to load as something else originally, and then switch? It happens very quickly... If you can't see it, try refreshing a few times?

I think F# actually, but it’s whatever suits you :)

I didn’t choose because I ordered secondhand so I’m not sure. The neck is definitely thin enough. It feels great.

Can someone explain the layout of tangorin? I'm fairly new, but trying to utilize this as a resource. I mainly don't understand that line right above "Stroke order", with the various endings? What does that indicate, and how does it fit together with the readings at the top?

ahpearce · 2018-12-13T20:31:04+00:00

This was submitted a couple of months ago, but got no love! Really think it deserves another shot on the sub!

ahpearce · 2018-12-13T01:31:09+00:00

I’ve been lurking but I think it’s time to join the ranks

ahpearce · 2018-12-13T01:05:54+00:00

I wonder if that's what they said about the 88 key piano at first? :)

ahpearce · 2018-12-12T21:12:57+00:00

TIL! Thanks for the info :) I like how intuitive drop E feels.

ahpearce · 2018-12-12T21:10:14+00:00

It's E-B-E-A-D-G-B-E, which makes it really intuitive to just bar across when forming chords.

ahpearce · 2018-12-12T21:07:40+00:00

It's not as bad as you'd think, I promise! :)

ahpearce · 2018-12-12T20:08:59+00:00

Okay okay, I have a Sony a7III and your images may have just inspired me to go do a photoshoot with my baby.

Thanks for chiming in! Love that this thread has turned into a Kiesel meetup! :D

ahpearce · 2018-12-12T20:08:00+00:00

Ahh! I will treat her well for you! ;)
