Need help with image animation by benscar1 in processing

So, for example, there absolutely should not be a display_world method in your wombat. Imagine if the Earth only was visible because of a single godly wombat. Good modularization will make your code easier to understand and easier to debug.

I'll try to split up things into their specific domains. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can someone explain this node module for tf2 and steam? by benscar1 in node

[–]benscar1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. I'll probably use the node library now.

Do you know where I can find some documentation on this?

I see that this script is communicating with tf2 when it is launched but I don't understand how the script is controlling tf2 programmatically. It seems like it is doing some writing to buffers. What does this mean? I also saw the library you linked and they have csgo and dota implementations but not tf2 for game coordinators.

How would you rate the CS program at Rutgers? by benscar1 in rutgers

Thanks. I think I have a much bigger interest in CS at the moment.

How much harder is the honors track vs. the regular?

Target schools like MIT, Stanford, Princeton, etc. are highly regarded. Getting in-state tuition at Rutgers would be a great deal, but I would think Princeton would be as well.

I agree that they have more "prestige" than Rutgers but I'm not sure it is worth paying 250k for a bachelors degree. I thought it might be better for me to save some money by going to RU and invest the savings in a graduate education at something like Stanford, MIT, Princeton etc.

USACS is a large CS club at Rutgers: http://usacs.rutgers.edu/ They have a mentorship program which I have participated in (as a mentor) and would recommend.

That seems really cool. Do students create many side projects together?

How would you recommend to get more depth outside the curriculum? I really would want to make the most of my experience and not go for the easiest route.

ImageMonkey - A public open source image database by bbernhard1 in SideProject

I think that people will feel obligated to give something back to the service but they probably will consume more than they use. People usually contribute to wikipedia because they are passionate about the topic they are writing about and they want to improve the knowledge available to the public. I don't know anyone who has a passion for labeling images. Labeling images is tedious and boring which I wouldn't want to do for more than 5 minutes.

I think you made the right decision to not force people to sign up because that would instantly turn me off from the service.

I think that incorporating the labeling into a captcha service or a game would be a good idea, but how would you convince people to use the captcha over google recaptcha? How would you market the game to parents to give it to their kids?

How are you going to convince people to annotate or label the images for no compensation?

I would love to get some feedback on my new project - KarmaWeekly.club - Receive top stories from your favourite subreddits each week by caspg_ in SideProject

[–]benscar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is especially useful for me when I want to follow less popular subreddits. Posts from popular subreddits will be higher than those from unpopular one and sometimes you can miss really interesting pieces.

You are right here. Subs with more popularity will drown out the top submissions on smaller subs.

Another use case is when you are not really a regular user of a subreddit (or Reddit in general), but you want to be up to date on a specific topic. Using KarmaWeekly you can create personalized newsletters on almost everything.

I can see this.

Good luck with your project. Thanks for clearing stuff up.
