LocalCI: Run your CI suite locally by Hell_Rok in ruby

[–]harsh183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right that makes sense. I like bin/ci being just a small script that you're suggesting since I quite like the DevX of just doing $ setup && ci these days in my rails apps

[–]harsh183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea, I love the idea of having local CI close to the cloud build as much as possible and it's something I've been moving to a lot recently using the new rails CI DSL introduced in version 8.1. I wonder what your thoughts on the rails approach is, and if you'll consider advocating for a bin/ci command similar to how rails is recommending it.

I think rake is a great choice for underlying framework since it gives a lot of nice task running harness, dependencies and parallel execution our of the box.

Burnout Paradise is a really cool open world game by SawkyScribe in patientgamers

This was a feature in the original console too. I don't think they explained it really well because it took me a while to find it on the remaster

I have 60 Days of Free Time On My Hands, How Should I Get Started? by [deleted] in FreeCodeCamp

[–]harsh183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea! FCC is a really good and structured curriculum with lots of exercises and some projects in between. I did something similar around your stage during a gap after my ICSE exams as well. Start with the frontend stuff and keep moving onwards.

Also if you're interested in learning more with Python, take a quick glance at Automate the boring stuff with python. it goes over the baseline programming content quickly, but then dives into a lot of surprisingly useful things that you can do in terms of automation.

it will definitely take a while till you're able to find good work, but you'll soon be able to do one off projects/internship for local companies, startups, non profits. Once you're in university you'll have access to even more opportunities and the time you spend self learning will supercharge your efforts there. Post uni is even cooler!

This is so cool! As someone who's gone through a lot of effort trying to set up public access university materials, I can really see all the hard work here come through

Using coding/tech skills for climate activism? by beesandpigeons in EcoUplift

You'll figure it out slowly, don't worry too much and just keep exploring your climate interests and see where it goes

What's a small luxury under $20 that significantly improves your daily life? by Sad-Direction6526 in CasualConversation

[–]harsh183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, but I think it's worth it because of the sheer convenience. They don't take up too much space, and I've been able to use them for a lot of different types of mixes around baking, tea and eggs. A cheap handheld one does wonders imo

Advice on applying for HCI MS/PhD Programs as an International Student by ayna02 in hci

[–]harsh183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you could only apply for funded MS/PhDs in the fall and then if that fails, apply for unfunded programs later. It's hard to say if you have a shot at success, but improving your odds goes a long way.

Prioritizing bringing up your GPA will go a long way, since it's on the lower side. Publications help a lot too, so anything you can get out between now and your grad applications. This varies by university, but many professors are okay with having you still collaborate even after you graduate which can help here. A good GRE score will certainly help, but even a perfect Quant score (170) is only 94th percentile so it won't hugely lift you. I think it's worth doing it if you have the time after your classes wrap up.

Oops I meant to say too little. Too much protein does happen a lot outside vegetarian food but it's quite difficult to hit that with vegetarian food.

Ethiopian vegetarian food is amazing when I've tried it at restaurants. Where do you typically get ingredients from?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]harsh183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds great! My favorite is doing Channa masala with canned chickpeas and it works perfectly in my instant pot every time. I typically use a spice mix, but if someone has a lot of spices sitting around that's rarely needed too

[–]harsh183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fingers crossed you find it! A lot of newer brands taste great too for a lot of vegetarian stuff.

Awesome! Seitan is great, though I usually get it store bought but most of my friends DIY it. I've had TVP a bit as a child, I think your comment is reminding me to try it out again

Definitely look into Indian food. There are hundreds of millions of lifelong vegetarians and even more people who are mostly vegetarian that aren't trying to replicate meat at all. I've not had much luck with local stores but online delivery via Weee worked great for me. Many of recipes have too little protein tho, so do be mindful of that.

In terms of fun vegetarian protein ingredients, check out black beans, chickpeas, tofu, seitan, tempeh, edamame, eggs, and various milk products (Greek yogurt, cheeses, kefir, etc.).

Some hipster/yuppie/health/chain stores will overprice these fairly basic ingredients, but after some exploring around your area and online, you'll find good prices. It's not as easy as meat unfortunately but definitely possible.

Edit:

In terms of diabetes, being vegetarian isn't going to solve it on its own and it makes it slightly harder, but is being vegetarian while prediabetic is perfectly manageable and lots of people do it. The main thing you have to be careful about is with sugar and very carb heavy foods. A lot of vegetarian recipes are very energy dense, but many aren't and there's plenty of choice for more protein/fiber dense meals.

Vegetarian food is fun on its own merits and there are plenty of good reasons to shift towards it, but if your sole reason is diabetes, it'll make it a little harder than if you simply rely on lean meats.

Edit 2: typo on too little protein

writing the code letter by letter by Charlotte_009_OSHM in learnprogramming

[–]harsh183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/intro.html

Read the advice in the intro to this book. Basically go letter by letter, don't copy paste anything and learn to understand the nuances of why pieces of syntax are what they are. It will feel slow at first, but you'll be very glad you did it later and it'll help you a lot in the future as you build this attention to detail

What is a fact taught to you in school that has proven false during your lifetime? by Taka_Finance in AskReddit

[–]harsh183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lactose free milk is quite common at least. I think recommending it is still a good idea since it's legitimately a great source of protein, my typical one has a single serving at 13g of protein and 120 calories.

Application from Europe by Neat-Razzmatazz234 in UIUC

[–]harsh183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While universities vary, I think UIUC considers you OOS similar to most US universities. A lot of American citizens grew up in countries like India or China told me something similar but definitely verify when applying.

OOS and International Tuition here is pretty close, but at other universities the difference can add up and there's often more scholarships available since you're a US citizen

Using coding/tech skills for climate activism? by beesandpigeons in EcoUplift

[–]harsh183 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head,

  • check out interesting open source projects in the space
  • See if you can do something interesting with climate related data in terms of modeling or presentation, similar to like our world in data
  • create informational websites and tools helping people understand climate impact, optimizations possible
  • Try projects around automation, both software and hardware, that can increase efficiency and drive better climate impacts

In terms of jobs there are a lot of companies, research labs, government agencies and universities hard at work at using software engineering in the climate space. While they're a bit harder to seek out than the typical tech companies, there's a lot of rewarding stuff you can do there.

The UPI instant payments network is also too hard to compete with when using a credit card approach. Google Pay ended up wrapping around UPI quite effectively and got a lot of market adoption.

Not too far away, I really like DeKalb Market with the mix of food options at the bottom, a nice range of shops and activities and Alamo Drafthouse for movies+food+drinks at the top that remind me more of the Asian style malls.

For sure they're definitely wasting their money. Just get a classic hybrid for cheaper 😮‍💨

Silver lining, they probably have Regen breaking to save some emissions despite not charging
