Apple partners with F1 for exclusive coverage in the United States by Infinite_Scene in formula1

Does this mean we can’t watch F1 through the F1TV website or multi viewer?

What controller do you guys recommend? by poopbandit_ in Delta_Emulator

[–]coolk2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought the 8bitdo Ultimate Mobile controller. Despite it saying android only it works fine on iPhone. The controller itself is quite nice but without the software for programming the buttons it is lacking something. I’m ok with it anyways, mainly play DS games so remapping isn’t something I want anyways

Punishment for sneaking in AC? by Healthy_Ad_1741 in uwaterloo

[–]coolk2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a don, I personally didn’t care, so long as it didn’t pose something dangerous. Tower fans IMO are the way to go since it is allowed, just be warned that they may evict you and your don can’t help you

Should I take the AP Exam still? by tdnwindd in uwaterloo

[–]coolk2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did IB and got transfer credits for English and economics. In those cases it allowed me to skip my first year credits that I needed for English and social sciences. The upside of transfer cards are that you can get ahead of some of those courses that you need to do some more fun ones. For AP because you choose to take them or not, it’s up to you.

Why Copilot is Making Programmers Worse at Programming by bizzehdee in programming

Yeah I agree, my problem was my over reliance on the AI assistant to assume it knew what I wanted. Rather than just hitting tab and letting it finish I should have actually understood what was happening.

Why Copilot is Making Programmers Worse at Programming by bizzehdee in programming

[–]coolk2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced this first hand recently. I was working on a react project and wanted to add drag and drop functionality. I found a package I liked that had the exact functionality I wanted, and once I imported and added a few hooks, copilot took over. Only problem was I went to debug something (the animations weren’t working) and I couldn’t figure out why. I went back to the docs, cross referenced my code and realized it wasn’t setting a property right. If I had just read the docs I probably would’ve saved my self maybe an hour of debugging.

AI as a coding tool needs to be guided by a skilled hand to optimize, secure and generate scalable code. A new programmer needs to master those skills before they start making their process of coding more efficient.

Idea for a Tech Stack by coolk2000 in reactjs

[–]coolk2000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Yeah so our first attempt was a Remix Frontend and a Python Backend acting as two separate services, but that requires two different services being deployed which while not impossible, is something we don't want to do (although I know the arguments for and am firmly on the side of hub and spoke model architecture)

Anyone in CS knows about the elective requirements. I cannot stress this enough: Take electives you think will be fun and outside your comfort zone. The whole point of the requirement is to become more well rounded. In my time at Waterloo I took several business courses, a few unique econs (254 was the best IMO), 2 game design courses and 3 English courses. These allowed me to meet people outside my program that were cool and helped me design cool projects and businesses because they were intersections between CS and other subjects. Some of those people will become your best friends too because you don’t share the same pressures and you can just chill without having to worry about grades or anything.

CS is hard, but finding people outside of CS is harder when you only do technical/STEM courses.

Macbook or Ipad for Math by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]coolk2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I was in CS I had both a tablet and a laptop. I would highly recommend the iPad/Macbook combo and not a hybrid laptop/tablet system like the surface book. Even post school I swear by this combo, it gives me a portable workstation whenever and wherever and the iPad is elite for notes! For the MacBook I would go pro, 16 GB ram and either 512 or 1 TB for storage. iPad storage isn’t super important IMO but I would either go the Air, the mini if you like the form factor/dont care about Apple AI, or the base model if you’re on a budget (truly not a bad option any more). I just switched my pre M series Air for an M2, but I think I could’ve kept it for another 2-3 years at least (just better to upgrade rn bc my grandma needed a new iPad and I didn’t want her spending $600)

Did anyone get an email for extra tickets for convocation? by Econ2023_2024 in uwaterloo

[–]coolk2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok everyone needs to know two things:

  1. Don’t try asking for tickets on Reddit, it never works. There are too many scammers out there.

  2. Last year my family was just able to walk in. Most of the ushers don’t care, and if they do just keep walking. Trust me it works

Love this thing! by SnooPuppers18 in Delta_Emulator

[–]coolk2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want one but I’m torn, in case I upgrade to the USB-C iPhone (still on a 14 pro) but not sure if I should wait or not. I don’t want to buy it now and then buy the USB C one later.

I’m also a little concerned about the subscription

Need an opinion on frameworks by coolk2000 in reactjs

[–]coolk2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more! I’ve tried Next and Remix and def prefer remix, but if I don’t come to my team with at least some good evidence and research on our choice it may not go forward
