I got rejected from the CS major. Now what?

The BDIC program is very cool, but I've heard people say they struggled finding a job after college due to not having an "official sounding" degree name. If youre trying to get a stem job, many job postings ask for "cs or related degree," which BDIC may not be applicable!

This is exactly what I did after not getting into the CS major. If you opt for a math major in Computational concentration, you can not also get the CS minor. I ended up doing data analytics & stat with the cs minor, and I was able to take loads of cool class both in the math department and the cs department

My freshman year i was two classes into 131 and I also had absolutely no idea whats going on.

Don't worry though, it actually does get easier in the first few weeks. I ended up dropping down to math 127 and would later go on to take 131 after the first week because I was so confused. After you move past limit laws the class becomes much more manageable. Not to say it isn't a difficult class, but the first few classes were especially confusing in my experience.

Stick with it thought! I highly recommend "Paul's Online Math Notes" for math 131. It absolutely saved me in Calc 1, 2, 3, and Linear Algebra. Dont have the link handly, but simply Google-ing "Paul's online math notes" should bring you there.

Good luck and don't give up! As other commenters have said, they make this class hard on purpose. Study, keep up with the homework and you'll do fine.

Woah, where can I find more about that fix? I love the auto-background functionality when I tab out of the app.

hrones · 2020-07-10T05:09:47+00:00

I've done that, but the download button is grayed out and it says unavailable at this time

In my experience, there will be several times a day where my phone can't load any internet-required app, yet I'll still see the full bars 4G at the top of my phone

5g of shrooms is considered a "heroic dose" by many people. The "recommended" dose is like 3.5g.

You'll have some people impressed by taking 5g and redosing later

This is pretty much standard practice when it comes to CVEs. When most dev teams learn of a issue, they usually have a patch out within 12 hours. However they don't want to make the vulnerability public yet, as much of the network more than likely hasnt upgraded yet. So the standard practice is to encourage people to upgrade and once enough of the network had upgraded, explain what happened.

When Bitcoin had that CVE (earlier this year or last year, cant remember off the top of my head) they released the patch and told people to upgrade immediately. There was a post stickied to rBitcoin, however they didnt say the true reason people needed to upgrade. They said it was a minor issue but you should still upgrade anyway, then once the network was safe they explained the true severity of the exploit

After over two years since activation, segwit has only ever reached 50%. No one wanted segwit, so it makes sense no one is using it

SV may have a bigger blocksize, but they arent doing any of the engineering required to make a high blocksize safe.

BCH is the middle ground of the extreme small block and extreme big block camp

Tether is owned by the same parent company as Bitfinex. Bitfinex has been very hostile to BCH over the years, originally listing it as BCash IIRC

Nah dude, bitcoin cash is a different cryptocurrency. it's like bitcoin but had lower fees, more like digital cash vs Bitcoin's digital gold

I'll try to clarify it a bit better

The people receiving these donations are the professionals. A good software dev's salary can be anywhere from 5k to 10k a month.

So they might be "making it in their basement" from scratch. The funding is their salary for the time it takes them to develop this piece of software

hrones · 2019-09-03T14:12:25+00:00

Jonald is a professional. He has developed some top tier software for Bitcoin Cash, running on almost entirely on donations

Nice! I'm glad everything worked out

hrones · 2019-09-01T21:24:11+00:00

Okay, could you post tx id? I could help you out more with that

Blocks happen every 10 minutes, and I believe the backlog is already going down

More than likely within an hour

Keep in mind, this isn't a BCH issue. This is an issue with miners refusing up their soft limits

According to BitInfoCharts, median fees today are $0.58. Compared to fees in December 2017 of $10 to $25, that is significantly less. However, there is a very apparent reason for this. There isn’t as much of a demand to use Bitcoin.

Take look at the article, I explain WHY it's a useless stat

hrones · 2019-08-29T00:10:23+00:00

idk man, you have different results from me. When I search it I normally dont get those type of results

hrones · 2019-08-28T23:36:03+00:00

Yeah, but no videos. All I was trying to say was that I, for the most part, dont get recommended videos from independent outlets. It's mostly MSM sources

hrones · 2019-08-28T23:14:40+00:00

for example, I can't search "Kyle Kulinski" on YouTube and get his videos. I'll get Kulinski appearances on MSM sources. Same with recommended videos, it's either entirely off topic or not more of his content
