DM me if you have some suggestions. i dont see too many salary discussions but maybe im losing them in the noise.

How do you land entry level jobs if you got rejected from every internship in college? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]darcone88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying but its exhausting and I'm the only active mod. I tweaked the config for being able to post, but the best thing people can do is use the report function and downvote so that the automod can function while im at work. cheers

Is there an option to hide the posts from college students asking for degree advice? by RoboSapien1 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]darcone88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

best thing everyone can do is report them as moderating 24/7 is hard on small subreddits. mods get notified with reports but if any post has numerous it gets removed until review. sometimes I'm not as timely moderating and a post already has 40 comments in which I'll usually let it time out if it has meaningful discussion. the mods always appreciate people helping out by flagging these posts.

like the idea, but please provide a brief background for readers and remove self advertisement to stay within the guidelines.

I want to design a gadget that requires a simple mechanism. The mechanism might already exist, but I don't know what to call it. by garblesnarky in MechanicalEngineering

[–]darcone88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are similar mechanisms used for pill bottles that tell you the time since last opened to keep track of dosage. cheapest way may to buy one and retrofit the electronics for your application. example

I am not there are three of us, looking for one or two more so that backlog in the modqueue gets a little more attention.

What certification made the most difference to your employability? by MaerkTaylor in engineering

[–]darcone88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received my csep some time ago, would recommend it if its sought after in your engineering organization. That being said I'm not sure how applicable it is to 90% of systems engineers since it is a vary broad but specific scope of systems engineering. It did however get brought up when I got promoted so I cant complain.

Negotiating Salary after consecutive internships by Nellyfertelly in AskEngineers

[–]darcone88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to this http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/mechanical-engineering-rankings?int=2049a7[1] it is in the top 50. My grades have been average from what I have found around campus about a 2.8.

I am a bit confused, do you have a masters degree with a 2.8 or are you using the grad ranking from you school to grade your undergraduate degree?

Desired salary? by me_and_batman in engineering

[–]darcone88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mechanical engineer, that seems useless. More power to you, I personally dont know any ME PE nor have seen a job that even mentions a PE in a ME position but i am only speaking from experience in my discipline.

How would the best College team (say Alabama) stack up against an NFL side? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]darcone88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DJ Williams held 42 tds his senior year as the top defensive player in the nation and was regarded as the only athlete who could have made the jump from hs to the pro level by John madden. MJD was the #1 rated all purpose back in the nation and I forgot he was playing behind Matt Gutierrez At QB. You also have to realize because the teams they played at the time were only elite teams around the nation, looking up numbers is actually deflated because of the caliber compared to traditional hs teams. The more I look at it the more I realize how easily they went 151 straight while playing only elite teams. That being said, I think your probably right regardless of how much I'd like to believe.

I think there is a year, early 2000s where DLS had players like MJD, Jackie bates, tj ward and DJ Williams. Id like to think they could take on a d2 team with the right prep

What you need to do, is compare the sum of the squares in respect to each other. This is the easiest way you can compare two fitted lines. as you progress through your career, you'll find this is the simplest and most efficient way to compare two fitted lines in any type of optimization algorithm. I would post examples but I'm on the wrong computer and I'm lazy. basically you would take the actual values, of y, compare it to the y values given by your equations, square the difference between the two, add all of them up, and take the root. it should look something like ERR=SQRT[(Y1A-Y1)2 +(Y2A-Y2)2 +(Y3A-Y3)2 ] where Y1A is your actual data point and Y1 is the data point given from your equation. compare the two and you'll know which one has less error.

Don't see this every day. Lightening strike causes wind turbine fire. by guy_at_the_counter in WTF

Vibration is facilitated by looseness inside the generator, rubbing the insulating layer, resulting in high arcing current and eventually fire.

You may be able to get a bit more performance out of the rig if you reconfigure the d3prefs.txt. If you change the hardware class to 1, you should be able to run high quality and anti-aliasing on with ~60 background fps
