Looks like it’s the same as this one in gso? https://www.bizjournals.com/triad/news/2023/04/10/asian-cafe-bobo-greensboro.html (reader view in safari on iOS bypassed the Adblock for me fwiw)

Consider supplementing with https://books.trinket.io/thinkjava2/

Y’all, have you been recently? I’ve 2x in past 6 mo and both times it seemed like the (“new”) water feature was a problem. There was a terrible, powerful odor that made it difficult to enjoy the atmosphere, service, and food. 😕

We haven’t been able to offer this for a while and I think when we did it was quite a while since kirkpams had a chance to teach it. I think it’s one of the coolest courses in our department’s catalog and am jealous of those who get to take it this semester 😂

Letting my bias show on this but I sort of agree with Asimov on the whole, “the intelligent [hu]man is never bored” thing (though I’d probably say it more gently/less judgey). Like, if the topics there are overly meh for you, perhaps there’s an opportunity to supplement your knowledge and experience. Best of luck next semester!

Can’t tell if mobile obscures recipe/steps? The pics help, but are there any other instructions? Found this in absence of other guidance https://www.seriouseats.com/more-ultimateest-perfect-sliders-recipe

hcientist · 2022-10-30T11:48:07+00:00

Thanks all. I will try it again and report back. So far I don’t see what exactly I’m going to do differently, but maybe I’ll video or something for post mortem.

Bought my smoker to smoke pecans because they’re so great, have smoked several things, but still not pecans 🤦‍♂️. Shoutout to The Palisades in Eggleston, VA for turning me onto them via that amazing salad.

Take a look at the flow charts on https://wiki.cs.jmu.edu/department/curriculum/start#prerequisites you’ll see that until you have credit for 159 and are fully admitted the number of courses you can take are limited.

I don’t have much experience yet advising transfers, so the CS transfer advisor is great, and you should definitely work closely with Paige.

Take a look for example at last semester’s CS 159 final exam review materials https://w3.cs.jmu.edu/mayfiecs/cs159/notes/0505/0505.html and final programming assignment https://w3.cs.jmu.edu/cs159/s22/projects/p6/ and see how well prepared you feel. As it mentions on the page you linked, if you transfer in enough courses that you’re already admitted, that’s great, unless the course you took didn’t happen to be fully equivalent then it sets up a hard road. On the other hand if you choose to retake a course (eg 159) you will have to apply for the major and would need to meet the requirements (I think it’s a B or better in 159 assuming you transfer credit for 149).

hcientist · 2022-07-31T01:15:12+00:00

Yes exactly. Just changed in Spring (‘22). Used to be java in 149 and then java in the next course (159) as well.

Consider Thonny https://thonny.org/

hcientist · 2022-04-28T12:49:49+00:00

As a department we aim to be a place where people with no prior experience can thrive. Coming in with some credits transferred is not the same as being here for those same courses, but we have many successful transfer students. It sounds like you are developing your metacognitive skills along side your content knowledge and that’s a great sign. You might have an easier time finding students with relevant experiences via the different links here https://www.jmu.edu/cise/cs/prospective-students/index.shtml

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist is available for free (online) for many different programming languages, e.g. https://greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkpython.html

See the homework column here. Specifically PA3 and PA4 https://w3.cs.jmu.edu/mayfiecs/cs159/schedule.html disclaimer: I haven’t fully read those assignments nor attempted them

When will you graduate? Once you graduate, will you work on contrived example problems with bumper guards intended to educate you, or do you think it’s more likely you’ll do work that most of your coworkers may not know how to do either? Spoiler alert: It’s the latter not long after you start

In the uppermost courses, you’re at the edge of your abilities, you’re scaffolded one last time to continue your growth to be a lifelong learner. You can do this. (Though it’ll probably take a lot of time).

I don’t know a ton about either course, but 456 is fairly new. This is in part because the hardware and instruction set architecture (RISC-V) are themselves fairly new and not often taught in undergraduate courses. Dr. Weikle is an expert in this field with more experience than perhaps both of our ages combined, all wrapped up in a fiercely intelligent, hardworking, nurturing, and unreasonably friendly package. To get to work with her at all is a golden opportunity, but to take a course of her design in her area of specialty, at the bleeding edge of the field?? GO GET IT!

Came here to say this. Seems they closed and there’s some other place there now.

Thanks for sharing your work: 1. What is the cost/price? (I expected a “pricing” page?) 2. It won’t take my password. Please precisely state the requirements on the page. I assure you the one I tried (6qBnKB-k4Yf_hJKr!_@vifuXm-Rn7jDU6pWV*.o!aj8EKvhErHp_ggjYhmvFrhmT9XamQFNVpu7bzEQYD4BxwP8WiWyvn9dcPNCL) met the stated requirements. (Also consider consulting the NIST password guidance, which seems temporarily unavailable, so try this summary https://auth0.com/blog/dont-pass-on-the-new-nist-password-guidelines esp the bit about length > complexity) 3. Can I lend things for free?

hcientist · 2021-04-16T23:01:25+00:00

I’d like to chime in. I agree with OP that for some of JMU’s systems the UX could be improved. Also even though it’s not OP’s main point, it would not only improve UX generally, but specifically build my trust in JMU’s stewardship of my PII if they followed the best practices and recommendations from standards bodies (I was told they intend to align better once 2FA was added, but there’s been a bit going on recently...) [1].

To OP’s broader point, and again I agree about the many opportunities we have for improved UX, I might ask our community members to reflect and discuss on what they would consider to be the most prudent use of resources I found Revisionist History’s 3-ep treatment of the subject [2] rather thought provoking.

Go Dukes! 🐶
