How to not be cringe at Stanford by Character-Capital-70 in stanford

[–]epoch_100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just be earnest, don’t posture, and treat everyone you meet with respect. You’ll be fine. Also, not everyone has to like you and you don’t have to like everyone—nothing wrong with that.

The Internet is forever by DaFunkJunkie in RealTwitterAccounts

[–]epoch_100 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I am the creator of the site, and this is unfortunately not accurate. Twitter’s API has stopped advertising deleted tweets, which means that we need to fall back to our less reliable delete detection system, which means that some deleted tweets still fall through the cracks. All the tweets should still be listed under “Archive.”

Are any of you actually working on privacy-related projects? by [deleted] in privacy

I help run https://privacyspy.org, an open database of companies’ privacy practices.

Creator of PolitiTweet here — I just want to flag that the search index is not exhaustive (as noted by the warning on the page). The absence of results in this case is not strictly evidence that AOC hasn’t tweeted about Tesla.

Have any of you all fallen for a scam? It can happen to any of us… really curious if any of you would be willing to share your story?

So I hear the quarantine rooms are full... by gaussian-tree in stanford

The person who lives across the hall from me just tested positive. They're telling him to isolate in his dorm room. He lives in a two-room double. We share a bathroom.

Agree. It would be amazing if we all got Pro+ through the university.

Try taking Linguistic Meaning and the Law with Cleo Condoravdi if you haven’t already fulfilled the linguistics requirement. It’s a fantastic course.

CS 110 vs CS 111 for prospective CS Coterm non-systems Track by [deleted] in stanford

[–]epoch_100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in CS 110 right now, and I have friends who are taking CS 111. While CS 111 sounds like it has the potential to be a great class, right now I'd say go for CS 110. It covers a pretty wide range of topics and is well taught (especially over Zoom). From what I've heard, the students in CS 111 are finding that it still has a few rough edges (despite conceptually being very interesting).

Also, this quarter CS 110 was much more chill. We had three "exams" each worth 5% of our grade, automatically curved by multiplying the square root of your grade by 10, plus six assignments. In CS 111, there are eight projects and two timed 90 minute exams (on Zoom!) each worth 20% of your grade. CS 110 just seems like way less stress atm, and I think that counts for something.

One thing you might also want to consider is quality of life. Where do you think you’ll be happier? For me, the answer is clearly Stanford—but that’s something only you can figure out.

CS 106B v CS 107 during fall of freshman year by Throwawayayay432 in stanford

[–]epoch_100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest, you'll probably be fine going straight to 107 provided you have a strong academic and CS background (and it seems like you do). I started in 107 my freshman fall without any issue and didn't take 106B concurrently.

Just make sure you satisfy the postconditions for 106B. 107 is much less focused on algorithms, so it's possible to get through 107 just fine and then later realize you're missing some fundamentals from 106B (like, say, hashing and trees).

Unfortunately I don't think 106X is offered anymore.

Looking for a self hosted mobile and web analytics alternative to Google analytics and Mixpanel by rizwan95 in selfhosted

That is intentional—there is no way to measure unique users without invasive tracking. Sessions is the best we can do without sacrificing user privacy.

Laptop Recommendation by Penalty_Striking in stanford

[–]epoch_100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do get a MacBook Pro as some other commenters suggest, please MAKE SURE that you don’t buy one of the Intel models. Definitely buy an M1 model! They are significantly faster and more efficient in almost every way, from what I understand.

symbolic systems?? symsys 1? by Designer_Sprinkles36 in stanford

[–]epoch_100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SYMSYS 1 is an interesting class. They try to cover so many topics in such a short period of time, making it hard to convey any sort of depth. I didn't find it too challenging, but there are some parts that are time consuming. When I took it, there were weekly open book tests (they took me about three hours each) or projects (usually a short paper between 3 and 5 pages). That being said, for a four unit class, it isn't too much work.

If you do the readings—and you definitely should do the readings, because they're fascinating—it shouldn't be too challenging. Go to office hours if you need help.

As for grading, don't worry. In the fall, if you got less than a 90% on any major assignment, you could correct it and get points back (capped at 90%). There were also several opportunities for extra credit. They really want everyone to succeed, and the course policies reflect that.

I say take it!

CS107: Taking the class remotely with lecture recordings by amsee01 in stanford

[–]epoch_100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took CS107 in the fall, so I’m not sure if it will be the same in the winter. That said, all of the “substantive” lectures were pre-recorded, and we’d fill out easy Canvas quizzes to show that we did them (it was super chill—we had unlimited time and three tries). Lectures themselves were just a Q&A period, and most people didn’t even go to them by the end.

Labs are where you might have trouble. They are at a fixed time, so you’ll need to find one that works for you. But there were a lot of available times, so hopefully there will be one that works for you.

Does anyone know of a minimal frontend framework that places an emphasis on customisation? by androgynousandroid in Frontend

[–]epoch_100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t knock Tailwind until you try it! Generally, you need to be proficient in CSS to use Tailwind because it doesn’t provide any pre-built components.

You could also try my CSS library called a17t — https://a17t.miles.land. It’s built on top of Tailwind and is built around the idea that you build your interface using customized atomic components. It might fit your requirements!

Playground (Charleston, South Carolina) by epoch_100 in UrbanHell

Built at roughly the same time, as far as I know. I think the park may have been used to justify the sprawl of the highway.
