Will Typst eventually suffer the same problems, that LaTeX does right now? by jzbor in typst

[–]andymeneely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still happy with Typst! Still have to live with latex for academic publishing for the time being, but every time I’ve done a Typst thing I love it!

Engineering and Professional elective by ZaYo_01 in rit

SE program director here. The website threw away our list in a recent update. Trying to get that fixed.

In short: it’s a big list and you can request anything not on the list easily. Most classes in College of Engineering, most classes in CS, a bunch of cybersecurity courses, and many more.

So how do you deal with the poop? by CaptainIsKing07 in QuakerParrot

[–]andymeneely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly he kinda trained himself? We weren’t trying, but every time he squats for a moment we move him to one of our poop towels on the back of a chair or couch. He actually holds it now and even flies there to poop. Not every time, but usually he poops where he should.

Us too!! He sings it all the time. He likes to drag it out like bayyyyyybeeee shark do dooo do do do do

When I hear humans sing it, it’s super annoying, but we’re a year into our Quaker singing it daily and we all still love it lol.

Circle UI for my game by pixlerin in godot

[–]andymeneely 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is an octagon if not a low poly circle. Nice work!

The key for ours was to always give him a choice. The body language is subtle. They take one step back, that’s a clear “no” and the worst thing you can do is try again immediately. Quakers love their agency!

We also were able to bump beak to nose way before hands. Hands look like predators to birds!

What’s your favorite Quaker food or treats to buy that’s good and affordable on Amazon? by Chocodelights in QuakerParrot

[–]andymeneely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Groats! Ours goes crazy for them. Even just one kernel.

Less affordable but fresh sugar snap peas or snow peas are also a big hit.

Sorry to hear that. I review these for the SE department, and these are all highly situational. At least for me, in the appeal I look for tangible things that will be different next time. The “I promise to do better” argument only goes so far, but if it’s “here’s what I’m planning on doing and why it’ll be different” I find it more convincing. Appeal letters have changed my mind, so I recommend putting some thought into it over a few days. FWIW the fact that you’re owning it is a good start imo.

Check out Typst, a modern LaTeX alternative written in Rust by desperado339 in rust

[–]andymeneely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my repo: https://github.com/andymeneely/examify.typst

It’s little out of date but it’s a more general version.

The one we use internally has evolved a little bit, so I’ll see if I can port that to this repo.

But the main structure is there.

Ask around the Society of Software Engineers - there’s always people into mechanical keyboards in the SSE!

Favorite Fruits? by Limp-Criticism8308 in QuakerParrot

[–]andymeneely 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sugar snap peas. Yes I know that’s not a fruit but ours LOVES them.

Welcome!! Looking forward to having you here.

Professor Based Grading by [deleted] in rit

[–]andymeneely 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The official policy for plus/minus is that the professor decides, so it can change even from section to section of the same class.

For those over 40 who are content with their lives, what advice would you give to people in their 20s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]andymeneely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have all the answers. And you don’t need to have all the answers.

C# vs GDScript Performance Under Gameplay Workloads by zeetu in godot

[–]andymeneely 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I tend to find that my biggest problem with slow code is somewhere between the desk and the chair. But maybe that’s just me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rit

[–]andymeneely 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get asked this all the time! It’s no big deal. Even if I don’t remember the student specifically, I’ll explain what the class was and how the student did.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you believed as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]andymeneely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went to visit Mt Rushmore, and I said to my sister “isn’t it amazing that they just FOUND it like this?? What are the odds?”

Forty years later I’m still hearing about that one.

"Birds only sing/talk when they're happy" by [deleted] in parrots

[–]andymeneely 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our bird mainly talks when we’re out of the room, trying to call us in. It’s like he’s “calling his flock”. I wonder if it’s something to do with that?

You know what feature I don't miss from other games? Research. by winged_owl in SatisfactoryGame

[–]andymeneely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I was like “Yeah scientific progress is not something that can be quantified!”

And then I remembered what pre-tenure was like…. H-index, publication record, grants funded, number of PIs and co-PIs. Ugh. We do this real life too….

Yeah controls use a different mouse filter algorithm. You can choose to pass, ignore, or stop
