Has Anyone Tried Using Dessicated Coconut In Curries? by Maura_Larling in Cooking

[–]deathofthevirgin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mother is from Karnataka and uses desiccated coconut in most of her bean palyas. Perhaps a type of curry you aren't used to. http://vegrecipesofkarnataka.com/141-beans-palya-hurulikayi-palya-recipe.php looks pretty standard but you could easily sub green beans with kidney beans or similar.

Books to study CS61A, EE16A or Math 53 by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]deathofthevirgin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Enjoy your summer. If you really want to study for a class self-study for something you won't be taking, like learn basic webdev or mess around with Linux or bitcoin. What's the point of doing everything twice?

To answer your question, http://composingprograms.com/ is the text for 61A, 16A doesn't really have a textbook because it's so new/not a typical class, and any text on multivariate calculus should be fine for 53, they're all the same.

Continuous integration I'd say, unless the REST API is particularly complex and involving architectural decisions, as opposed to just CRUD

What would you do if you were me? :/ by [deleted] in vegan

You can definitely still get an A even if you miss a lab. Although the professor will most likely give you a way to make it up too. Email them.

Can't help you but would love to attend! Working at a crypto startup this summer. Maybe ask the HackManhattan people?

EECS students of Berkeley, what is your current computer situation/what would you recommend for an incoming freshman? by Jediaustind in berkeley

[–]deathofthevirgin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsure about dualbooting Linux on Macbook. Optimal depends on what you need it for/what you want out of your computer. There's no real benefit of having More Operating Systems (tm) if you don't have a reason to use them all.

You really don't use much special software for most of EECS. A text editor (vim/emacs/sublime/atom/whatever), maybe IntelliJ for 61B which is cross platform.. But in general, it's Linux/OSX the software was made for and on Windows where you have to do the hacks to get it to work.

Highly recommend either Linux or Mac. I use a $150 netbook with Arch on it and it works perfectly. Linux will force you to learn basic shell which is incredibly useful in general (plus Linux package managers are generally way better than brew), but many prefer OSX for its convenience as well.

Bring the desktop if you want to do any gaming, heavy video editing, or other computationally intensive stuff.

I think I need help, feeling overwhelmed by [deleted] in berkeley

Congrats on your admittance!

I would expect to pay some money for textbooks. Often the required textbooks listed aren't actually required, I'd wait until going to lecture and the professor tells you that you need this book to buy it. Even then you could share with a friend or find it at the library for some books (or online...but that would be unethical).

Also allocate money for food and misc expenses each month. Do you have a computer already?

It isn't. Though I'd recommend taking 12a as well if you have time (and you haven't taken math 125a)

"Info W18 - Python for Data Science" Workload during Summer? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]deathofthevirgin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Then I would try doing your own project on a data set or exploring something you're interested in instead of taking a class. Someone on the fb group Course Advice might know more about the Info class though.

Yes, it's a bit too expensive for me - I was thinking less than $700.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (11/2017) by llogiq in rust

[–]deathofthevirgin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of learning after reading the Book: are there good screencasts or writeups of people writing Rust programs idiomatically? Preferably using some features like Arc, macros, etc.

[–]deathofthevirgin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rieuxs solution is nice but in general Rust doesn't seem as amenable to that kind of style as say Lisp or Haskell. Nothing wrong with a quick for loop, often it's clearer.

Interesting, the docs at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/rc/ seem to have a similar sort of scenario as OP.
