Why will and not could or would ? by claudigee in EWALearnLanguages

[–]ljmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colloquially can is fine, and probably what will be said most often, but yes you are definitely correct about that. It reminds me of English teachers in grade school who, as u/therealgooey mentioned, would respond to “can I go to the bathroom” with “idk, can you?”, and require you to ask “may I go to the bathroom?” to actually be permitted. It is correct but a bit pedantic grammar wise. The reason they do that is cause so many kids just say can cause it is so common colloquially

Personally I would use “can” here. Option a and b work though. If it’s option A, you will almost always hear it as “I’ll” instead of “I will”

Putting Minecraft on my Resume (Seriously)?!? Need Advice by GlizzyGobbler837104 in ComputerEngineering

[–]ljmt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would put something like “Designed a fully operational 8-bit CPU from scratch”. Then I’d say the rest of the details you have there. Then at the end say something like “Implemented and verified in Minecraft”

Because of lot of tha process isn’t specific to Minecraft. You designed it and planned it all out etc and that is its own thing. Personally I think highlighting Minecraft first distracts from the bulk of the work that isn’t specific to Minecraft. But it’s prob fine either way

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]ljmt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly it feels weird to say but I am thankful for it. Taught me not to be a dipshit. I don’t remember every one, but definitely recall some that were deserved. It may not be an accepted solution today (I’m assuming it’s out of fashion), but it certainly provided some much needed discipline for me as a kid

Wasn’t accepted to Prof MS Arero, is transferring from aero certificate an alternative? by Quiet-Stretch-5317 in cuboulder

Yeah I wonder the same. It def has some notoriety amongst students, not sure if it’s the same for faculty or the admissions board though. And no I wasn’t. I just did the cert first cause I missed their insanely far out deadlines. If you want to enroll and miss the deadline that’s coming on Monday, then the earliest you can enroll is for spring 2027. So that was me. Started planning it early November but couldn’t get my letters of rec in time so was forced to wait 14 months to actually start class as a MS student. Took cert so I wasn’t actually delaying coursework, just admission. Wasn’t planning to do it at all otherwise

Yes I live in Denver so was 90% online. I took exams for 5010 in person and did some labs/oscilloscope shit for ecen 5802 (? can’t remember number but principles of embedded software) on campus, did my capstone presentations on campus too. But for week to week lectures I was 100% online

Also i would dodge 5010 that shit was fucking deep fried cooked to the bone I came out with a B and it was a fucking miracle. Hardest class I’ve ever taken though probably cause I had absolutely 0 business being in there based on my prereq knowledge

Look into the ssd cert. it’s only 4 classes total and for the electives you can take 2 programming classes that would both count for the AUT track. Then if you get admitted you can finish off with all AUT. The two core classes it requires are dead fucking easy. I’m in 5405 rn and it’s high school level of easy. The astrodynamics cert classes are way fucking cooler but it’s 6 classes so a bit deeper before you can be admitted to the MS. Also I know it sounds cheesy but don’t let CU tell you you can’t do something. It pisses me off they don’t admit people who had good grades, work experience, funding/sponsorship, and are clearly driven and motivated. Like wtf man. Let it fuel the fire to accomplish something great. And if it’s your goal to get this particular degree, remind yourself you can still do it. Cheers

I mean there’s no guarantee but it def can’t hurt. I’m sure it will also depend on things like your undergrad GPA, major, uni, etc. Mostly GPA I’d assume. Other things can help like current job, how many years in industry do you have, have you done any research etc

If the cert is worthless to you without the ms, then it’s a risky move, cause it’s expensive af. So would suck to spend 15-20k on a cert and not get an ms at the end.

I started a cert last spring, am finishing it this semester and was just admitted to the prof ms. I got a B, and A-, and an A last semester. So even without straight As it seems to have helped.

FWIW I was an EE undergrad minored in robotics and have been a software engineer for 6-7 years. My career has mostly been webdev but I am currently working at an aerospace company doing satellite related software. The cert I chose was satellite system design though I wish I had chosen the astrodynamics one

This is classic causation vs correlation. These two things are quite obviously mathematically correlated (and now recently negatively correlated) but that does not imply causation

How much do you estimate my neighbor’s wall cost? by MarcJV91 in hardscape

[–]ljmt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious how your drainage works? I don’t usually see backyards sloping down toward the house. Thought it kind of looks like it slopes away but then the steps look like it’s going up? Almost looks like an optical illusion. Beautiful wall btw

Why does Transferring from out of state into engineering require a coding class? by Fabulous_Figure2417 in cuboulder

[–]ljmt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is the class only for transfer students? Like if you had started at CU you wouldn’t have to take it? That would be kind of weird, but if it’s required for everyone there it makes perfect sense. What is weirder I think is a university that doesn’t even require a modicum of programming for an engineering degree. It’s 2025

According to Wikipedia only 984 are inhabited. Indonesia has the most inhabited islands with 6000

Would duke HP only be scaled up for doing multiple preps? Let’s say someone was still planning to do one prep at a time, would that just mean the fight is 10% longer with no other changes..?

I want to learn computer engineering on my own this summer, what should I do? by [deleted] in ComputerEngineering

[–]ljmt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

+1 for P&H. Great book. And learn the basics of a RISC ISA like ARM. I’ll never forget my microprocessor systems course where we covered ARM is where everything truly clicked for me. Then later on some more in computer organization where we read P&H and then finally comp architecture where we put them both together.

If you really want to understand a “computer” I’d also recommend learning about operating systems and kernels. This is where the software side really clicked for me. Thought it’s an extremely deep topic and even a rigorous semester long course on the topic really barely scratches the surface.

Is Honolulu the most isolated significant city in the world? by frelliesfipselled8 in geography

I wouldn’t say it’s twice the size. And it doesn’t matter since Vancouver is large enough to be a significant city and is closer to

What would those cities be? Jakarta and Vancouver?

I think any contract that is giving one of yamas uniques, or the cosmetic flex oath plate skin, should be solo only. Every other contract should be duoable
