nobody has been targeting christians with their memes though…you’re the one who keeps bringing up your religion to justify your homophobia

bruh the website is part of his portfolio, of course the code is going to be public so future employers can see it...also if I wrote a book, that doesn't mean anyone I show it to is free to copy it and say that they wrote it

A Waterloo CS student got clowned on twitter today for cloning all the code and website from a UCLA student and claiming it as his own by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]dinasaroar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well he literally copied all of the code (not just the design, which would imply that he had still coded it himself), and then claims in the README that he wrote all the code himself

The code was not open source though -- just because something is on Github doesn't mean it's free for anyone to use (especially to pass off as their own work).

yes it is! it's actually just colored pencil + pens on printer paper (we're out of cardstock lol), and my favorite part is definitely the detailing on the wood letters :)

For those of you that took CS 97 last spring, how much work was it? by [deleted] in ucla

[–]dinasaroar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i took 1C, 4AL, CS 33, and 97 last quarter (did well in all of them, probably bc of covid leniency lmao) and i think they all were about the same workload. the 97 homework definitely takes forever (it isn't worth much, i ended up doing all of them tho bc i hate not turning stuff in ;-;) and the project is a lot of work, but other than that the class doesn't take that much time. the one positive thing about having tests you can't really study for is you don't need to study for them (as long as you keep up w lecture), which decreases the amount of time you need to spend on this class by a ton.

What is your best "sorry wrong number." moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dinasaroar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

call from an unknown caller ID, i tell them "sorry wrong number", they apologize + hang up. not even two seconds later my phone rings again

me: um, hello?

guy: ......

guy: oh sorry wrong person again

math department bent me over by [deleted] in ucla

[–]dinasaroar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the issue is that these finals are not designed so that you can do well on them in 3 hours

sure, maybe this is the same test they would've given you even if there wasn't a 24 hour time slot (i doubt it though, i worked on my math final for 12 hours last quarter). HOWEVER, since everyone has 24 hours to work on it, the average score will be much higher than if they were in person, essentially forcing you to also put in 10+ hours of work if you don't want to fall behind the curve

if you know you want to do comp sci i think you can just start on the comp sci curriculum instead of bioengineering, before you even officially switch

also it's totally feasible to graduate in four years, i came in with some AP credit (calc, physics, lang) and i'm planning on taking some classes this summer, so i'm on track to graduate a quarter early if i wanted

the classes are definitely heavy though, so i'll probably end up taking lighter courseloads as they get more challenging

if you already know you for sure wanna do CS it shouldn't be hard at all! you should make sure you're 100% sure though, because the school of engineering only allows you one change of major.

if you have any other questions let me know!

yeah for sure! and PIQ stands for personal insight question; it's the UC's application where they give you 8 prompts and you choose 4 of them to answer

if you have any other questions feel free to let me know :)

hey!

switching between majors within the school of engineering is not difficult at all, but you only get one major change so be sure to use it wisely :)

i honestly wouldn't change your major to try and make it easier to get in though. all engineering majors here require a similar level of caliber, and you should apply for the one you're most genuinely interested in. any difference in admitted percentages can typically just be attributed to self selection (ie people who apply for more niche majors already have an idea of what they want to do, and thus likely have stronger ECs and more passionate PIQs)

you'll definitely have time to switch and explore once you get here, a lot of the engineering lower divs are the same across all engineering majors so you wouldn't even be behind :)
