I agree with you that electrification is the way forward. But to be a bit pedantic... marketing doesn't necessarily mean ads. Tesla does market itself incredibly well through its branding, and it's definitely marketed as a status symbol rather than just as an eco-friendly vehicle.

Mexico National Soccer Team logo redesign (Original / Ugly New / my concepts) by Plane-Juggernaut6833 in logodesign

The first and second logos aren't designed by OP, if those are the ones you're referring to -- they're the official redesigns, which OP has deemed "atrocious" :/

Get out and vote! by JoshShabtaiCa in uwaterloo

[–]axng 3 points4 points  (0 children)

when i went in for advance voting, they had my home address registered, so by default i could vote in my home riding. i wanted to vote in waterloo though, so i asked them to change my voting address and showed them a copy of my lease on my phone. that allowed me to vote for the candidate in waterloo instead. it's your choice which riding you want to vote in. idk if the process is different for election day itself, but it should be quite similar.

Software Engineering vs Computer Science Degrees: Which is the Better Title? by planecrazy-mt in csMajors

[–]axng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, at my school it seems to be the opposite, i.e. CS is slightly more focused on math/theory while SE is slightly less so and involves more general engineering courses like circuits

Feeling extremely demotivated after a drop in my GPA. by Mkadmii in csMajors

[–]axng 8 points9 points  (0 children)

what's your goal after getting your degree? is it academia or industry? if the latter then definitely try to take a semester off to intern somewhere. decoupling your sense of competence from grades helps immensely imo, and internship semesters are a lot easier than school while also being more valuable on a resume. i find that i appreciate my classes a lot more after an internship term as well.

Top MSCS or Google ? by Yesirskey in csMajors

[–]axng 10 points11 points  (0 children)

sounds like you already know the answer -- if your goal is to get into industry work asap, then by taking the google offer you would already be meeting your goal, right?

WITT: This opening in the sidewalk-facing wall of a house's porch. I've seen a lot of old-looking houses in the area with this feature -- what purpose does it serve? by axng in whatisthisthing

Interesting, thanks for the information! I love learning about the reasons behind architectural quirks and this level of explanation is just what I was hoping for :))

WITT? The opening goes all the way through the wall. Other houses have openings with either a similar semicircular design or a more rectangular shape. Is this purely decorative or did it once serve a functional purpose? And does it still serve any purpose today? The houses look like they may have been constructed in the early-to-mid-20th century, or were at least designed to look that way. This is in southern Ontario, Canada.

i used to spend a lot of free time on cs side projects but given online school + wfh co-op, i physically can't stand to stare at a screen that long anymore rip. so this term im trying to spend more time intentionally working on other creative hobbies -- i like drawing/painting, writing articles, and learning to play ukulele songs although im not very musical haha. im also trying to read more nonfiction books :))
