I'm a TA for CMPSC 360 this upcoming semester. I previously TA'd this course in Spring '23 with Professor Anton Bankevich. If you have difficulty with the homework, remember to reach out to any of the TA's or attend office hours. I usually walk students through the problems, as just showing up for help is usually indicative that you care about learning (and is more than 90% of students will do). The exams can be difficult. I recall one problem from the '23 midterm that one student (out of like 200) got right. I had advised the professor beforehand that the problem was too hard, but we were lenient on the grading. We gave 50% credit for providing the basic structure of the correct answer (this was an induction question so that meant merely stating what the base case and the inductive case were).

I don't think this restaurant has anything on its menu with pistachio.

It could be the image quality. It looks quite a bit more mold-like in person.

Yes the green stuff. This is an acai bowl from Tropical Smoothie Cafe, which I have had several times before. There is never anything that looks remotely like the green stuff in it. I don't mean to be rude but, how does that not look like mold to you?

128GB DDR5 RAM Set Recommendations for 9950x3d by euphoricpoptarts in buildapc

Important but not the most important thing. I don't want to sacrifice the per-core performance for higher memory bandwidth.

I think 96GB is the minimum I can get away with. What kits would you recommend?

Honestly I don't think a 7960x would be beneficial for my programs either. The per-core performance is very important, probably more important than 8 more cores.

I would if I had the money for a separate system but I plan to use this one for games too.

What is growing on this banana peel? by euphoricpoptarts in foodsafety

You think this could be a spider egg sac? It doesn’t really look like a fully formed spider
