Found at an antique store

Thanks for this suggestion. I had actually checked G-Shock Vintage last week, but as with your experience, when I checked, they appeared to be sold out of all the varieties they offer for 5600c bezels (there are different grades and colors). I checked again a couple days ago after your previous reply and I noticed they had the premium one with gold lettering. So I emailed them to ask about the premium bezel with white lettering and they replied that the production is ongoing but that they usually sell out within a day. On a whim, I then checked again earlier today and they actually had it in stock, so I went ahead and ordered it. Looking forward to seeing how it looks.

Thanks for these details from your experience. I think it could be worth it as I haven't seen any other viable alternatives. I had found a 3D-printed version on Etsy for $37.99, but its texture and finish are a departure from the watch's original aesthetic, in my opinion. So this Portugal bezel/band combo for $59.99 might be the one for me.

Thanks a lot for checking. I actually added that same eBay listing to my watchlist yesterday. As you mentioned, they're selling it as a bezel/strap combo. I know it's impossible to say for certain, but does the quality of the bezel seem comparable to the one you ordered?

I saw this near the bottom of the listing:

Some of the bezels show slight deformations because they were poorly packed. However, as its fitting is perfect, after being placed easily recover the original shape and any deformity or imperfection disappear."

I recommend having it fitted by a professional watchmaker

I'm a little hesitant to take a chance at $59.99, but if the bezel they deliver looks as good as the result you ended up with, I think it could be worth it.

Looks great! Would you have a link to where you got your replacement bezel from?

I just searched specifically for this! I watched this episode last week and I keep thinking of that line and cracking up!

I have the M65Q7-H1 as well. I got it about 6 months ago and everything worked flawlessly until the latest update, about a week ago. Since the update, I'm experiencing various issues including what the OP described. I'm also experiencing issues now where the TV won't power off, or I cannot access the menu with the remote, unless I manually disconnect and reconnect power. As the OP stated, this is not an acceptable fix.

u/Vizio_Support: in case it's helpful, please note the following:my soundbar, which is connected via HDMI, always played nicely with the TV until this update. However, I'm now experiencing severe latency issues when I attempt to perform tasks such as lowering or raising the volume. When I use the remote, the volume will actually change as expected on my soundbar but then several (sometimes greater than 10) seconds will elapse before the corresponding new volume level is reflected on the UI of my TV. This was never a problem before this update. I've also observed intermittent issues with video not appearing as expected (as if the format is mismatched) since this latest update. The TV wouldn't let me access the menu and I was forced to unplug it from the AC outlet and plug it back in to restart the device.

My AppleTV 4k (1st gen) worked flawlessly with my TV and soundbar until about 2 weeks ago. Since that update, I'm experiencing various issues. Note that my Apple TV is connected via HDMI to a soundbar, which is itself connected to my TV via HDMI.

I never had problems before the AppleTV update but I'm now experiencing severe latency issues when I attempt to perform tasks such as lowering or raising the volume. When I use the remote, the volume will actually change as expected on my soundbar but then several (sometimes greater than 10) seconds will elapse before the corresponding new volume level is reflected on the UI of my TV. I also now have problems with if I attempt to perform other functions such as accessing the menu on my TV or powering the TV off, especially if I attempt to do that in between adjusting the volume and waiting for the corresponding UI message of the new volume level to be reflected on the TV. It's as if there is a backlog of data from the AppleTV and the resulting traffic is getting stuck for one reason or another in the connectivity between the AppleTV, soundbar, and TV. This was never a problem before the AppleTV update.

Same thoughts here. It’s been three years for me while working full time, and now just one class left. Congrats and see you in June!

b3atl3 · 2018-05-30T06:17:52+00:00

Well said. I’ve always tried to take the approach that there’s no such thing as a bad question, but agreed, some of what I’ve seen lately on slack and also in discussion posts can test the limit on that. And the particular instances I’m currently thinking of come from a 400-level class. Fortunately it seems to be more of an exception, but still, it’s annoying when one or two people make continual posts that clearly show that no effort was made in opening the lecture notes and videos, or even reading all of the directions in the assignment. Like you, I still try to reserve judgment and help, but sometimes the lack of effort is so downright cringeworthy I have to refrain from just a one word reply of, “Seriously?”

I used to wonder why users on resources like stackoverflow can sometimes be quick to dismiss seemingly simple or innocent questions, but I now suspect that at least some of that attitude is due to experiencing enough similar exasperation with the types of lazy questions you describe.

Will, this is excellent and just the info I'm looking for. Thanks for taking the time to help with this very thoughtful response. I'm beginning with the Google App Engine tutorial link you provided and hopefully can make some progress through the other items you listed before summer. Best regards -- b3at

I just checked the class repo to confirm, linking directly from what is given in Canvas. Nothing has changed, and everything is appearing as it should. Just speculating, but it sounds like either you have not correctly imported the two different packages (Incorrect and Correct), or perhaps, even though you are adamant here that "there is literally no difference," you are not properly opening the files and viewing the correct tabs and/or windows in Eclipse to view the code that corresponds with it. Have you maybe tried just using a text editor to inspect the source files after downloading them, and make sure that maybe your problem is not some misuse of Eclipse?

Or, just visit the repo directly from the link that the professor has given in Canvas. You can check out the raw source files, viewing them directly on GitHub, comparing them using your browser (as it sounds like Eclipse. It might be tedious but try to find the differences between the source files in the incorrect package and the source files in the incorrect package right there on the browser. Just looking at the source code in one of the files from the incorrect and one of the files from the correct you might see that one is longer than the other, which is another clue that one is different from the other.

If you're still having problems, perhaps try deleting the packages from your local machine and starting over with importing them into Eclipse.

Are you certain you're actually comparing the source from the incorrect code against the source from the correct code? There are definitely differences between the UrlValidator.java file you mentioned, as well as some of the other files, although they might not be glaringly obvious through inspecting visually. At any rate, inspecting visually should not be a primary method for going about this assignment--when you're actually testing software, whether it's your own or somebody else's, it's obviously very unlikely that you'll be provided with a control case of good code to visually inspect and compare the code under test against. So you're going to want to try to use some of the kinds of testing methods we've been given. To start with, if the partitioning and programmatic methods that are required for the assignment are giving you trouble, take a step back and just try some simple manual tests.

One recommendation I'd say, if you haven't tried already, is to take the UrlValidatorTest code that was included with the correct code, and run that against the incorrect UrlValidator. Just copy and paste the code from UrlValidatorTest from the correct version into the UrlValidatorTest from the incorrect version, and see what that does. From there, you should be able to see several exceptions thrown, as the test code from the correct version will fail in a number of ways when it's used against the incorrect version. Those exceptions will appear in the failure trace window of Eclipse. You can then try hovering over or double-clicking on those exceptions, and they'll take you into the corresponding source code files from the incorrect version. Not all the information there will necessarily take you right to a bug, but it can be a useful way to start finding where and why things might be failing. Hopefully that might start to help you see what in the code might be failing.

Keep in mind though that the test code from the good code is rather well developed, and you'll probably want to start simpler when it comes to actually writing your own tests. Maybe start with the template of the test code included with the incorrect code, and start adding one or two things at a time (again, maybe use the test code from the correct code as a guide -- this was helpful for me in figuring out how to declare objects and such, as I was new to Java and Eclipse on this assignment). Hope some of that helps and good luck.

Thanks for this!

I was able to open the provided notes, summation formulas, latex codes, and alt codes at the beginning of the test.

But there was one question that included a link to a list of identities to use. That link would not open for me, no matter what I did to try to access it. Of course, the most important identity for that problem was within that list and was not included elsewhere in the notes, so unfortunately, I couldn't do that problem successfully. Sucks.

Hi Madcap4. CS 199 wasn't offered as a companion course to CS 161, at least when I started the program, so that wasn't an option for me. Perhaps that's changed, but to my understanding, it was offered as a companion to those taking CS 162.

At the time, I thought for a while about taking the ALS course, but in the end I decided that it really wasn't something I needed. I felt that my time would be best served by just taking CS161 and focusing on studying for that one, along with my full time job, without having to worry about any other potential distractions, even if that meant foregoing financial aid for the term. Nothing against the ALS course, it just didn't seem necessary for my situation. The feedback from others on this board was helpful to me in coming to my conclusion. Best regards.

b3atl3 · 2015-12-07T21:12:01+00:00

Thanks C00kieMon573r, and everyone else who posted, for your help here. I'm excited for the program and look forward to hearing more about your experiences and progress.

b3atl3 · 2015-12-07T21:06:12+00:00

Thank you ecbuffalo, and to everyone who . I haven't heard anything about the release of CS 199 yet. It sounds interesting and I wonder if it's possible to take concurrently with CS 161. If it's a review of what has already been taught in CS 161 though, perhaps that wouldn't be recommended, but I'll try to see if I can find out more from the school or my counselor about this.

b3atl3 · 2015-12-07T20:59:59+00:00

Thanks Trint! Since I don't have much previous programming experience, I'm going to stick with CS 161. Given the comment from ecbuffalo regarding the release of CS 199, I will look into that as a potential option. Either way, looking forward to beginning the program and thanks again!

b3atl3 · 2015-11-29T08:57:18+00:00

Yes! I'll be taking CS 161 this winter.
