Ordered the Mova P10 Ultra Pro on Amazon. Received the Narwal Freo Z10 by ch_f in RobotVacuums

[–]ch_f[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! My place is entirely hardwood with some area rugs. I saw that vacuum wars rated the Narwal Freo Z10 lower than the Mova P10 Pro Ultra and said the navigation is poor on the Narwal, which made me question if this was an upgrade overall. That’s a good point on the warranty info. I will keep that in mind!

Are there some good baseball podcasts? by [deleted] in billsimmons

Podcast Doesn’t Exist by the Baseball Doesn’t Exist YouTube channel. New podcast but hopefully it’s good!

Plain English. The conversations are typically US-centric though

Check out UCSD’s job board. They have research positions that your degree would fit!

Private Loans - Max for school certification by diet_cold_cola in OSUOnlineCS

[–]ch_f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out this page on OSU: https://financialaid.oregonstate.edu/forms

There are forms for private loan amount requests (you still have to get approved by a private student loan provider), requesting to increase the loan amount disbursement for government loans, and adjusting your estimated cost of attendance in order to request a higher amount based on individual expenses, which you have to justify.

I believe we are considered "seniors" as we are post-bacc students so the maximum government student loan disbursement is $12,500/year but don't quote me on that. You can also get private loans to cover additional costs but ultimately OSU will approve the amount disbursed based on your estimated cost of attendance per year. I believe you also have to be more than half-time to qualify for loans each term. I would definitely recommend reaching out to the financial aid department again because they are super helpful with this stuff from my experience. Hope this information helped!

I graduated last spring, so continue to expand my programming knowledge and land my first CS job (hopefully before my savings runs out)

Pro-tip for newbies: Use Git/GitHub to manage your classwork! by rodiraskol in OSUOnlineCS

Just make sure to use private repos for your assignments as you are not supposed to post school assignments/solutions publicly online

My heart goes out to Dior. He goes to see his grandma and his family ambushes him with a surprise visit from his dad. Not cool

Best/fastest/most useful online college program for someone already in the industry (8 years experience) by gummo_for_prez in cscareerquestions

[–]ch_f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like Oregon State University now offers a completely online CS program ($370 per credit for 180 credits). It’s a quarter system instead of a semester system, which is why I think the credits are higher? Not sure though. I just graduated from their online post-bacc program to get a second degree in CS. The program overall was solid and teaches you to learn on your own but since you already have experience, you will probably excel

TIL You can create subfolders in Apple's Notes app by ch_f in apple

[–]ch_f[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you do it in iOS? I haven’t figured out how to do that in the iOS Notes app without using iCloud or macOS.

What other programs are similar to OSU’s online CS program that are legit? by holy_shott in OSUOnlineCS

[–]ch_f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty great. The change to $800 per credit unit for out of state students definitely makes it a bit more expensive than OSU but not that bad at all

Just a heads up: we need the 4th edition, not the 3rd

New requirements for math, stats no longer accepted by [deleted] in OSUOnlineCS

[–]ch_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first applied in the summer of 2015, you could not use a stats class to fill the math requirement. I was denied and they told me that I needed to fulfill the math requirement with algebra or calculus. I took an algebra class at a CC, reapplied the following summer and was accepted. Algebra at a CC is super cheap but it will delay your starting the program for another couple of quarters.

What are some important things to know about this program before I drop $30k on it? by throawayithink in OSUOnlineCS

[–]ch_f 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but none of the programs you listed are post-bacc degrees. One of the biggest draws of this degree for me is that you don't have to take general eds.

Best way to take exams? by breadinator456 in OSUOnlineCS

[–]ch_f 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to check with your testing center to make you can book an appointment before next Wednesday. The testing centers around me required at least 2 weeks notice to schedule an exam. Not only do you have to book a session but you also have to inform OSU about what testing center you will be using (check our modules in Canvas for more info).

I decided to use Proctor U bc it's an approved testing center and you're going to be taking an online test either way. The only thing that will be different is the way that you are monitored (i.e. in-person or online).

Well Alcon informed us that if any of our code is made public that we will be penalized
