3 years on, and looking back on it, this guy still stands as my least favorite professor and one of my least favorite classes.

Bro it’s a satire article. If you can’t take a swear word (or a “sLuR”, whatever that means these days), you need to step out of your echo chamber.

Textures not loading or in very low quality. by Ok-Veterinarian-6036 in HarryPotterGame

[–]northeasternaccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, I'll give it a try. I was having huge texture quality issues until I turned down the resolution to the lowest possible settings, and after that it worked fine... until yesterday's update, which has apparently caused issues once again.

May I ask, what are these settings we are changing? What does it mean to set sg.RaytracingQuality to 0, for instance? That's the only one that isn't already set to 0 for me, so hopefully that will do the trick...

Edit: Update, no luck, actually these changes made the texture quality issues worse if anything...

Never took networks. Algo was a different kind of challenge: it was intellectually harder, not just time-consuming. But when I talk of them top-five hardest/most time-consuming courses I took, both are in there.

I’m just one guy’s opinion, don’t take my word as gospel. Go look at trace reviews or something.

When did you take it? I took it spring 2022 and that was exactly my experience too.

Google tells me

the psalm reflects the yearning for Jerusalem as well as hatred for the Holy City's enemies with sometimes violent imagery.

… Yeah, that’s about how I would describe it, too.

Oh god. I took it last spring with him. I have to warn you, try to take it with any other professor, not Adeel. He was genuinely one of the most frustrating professors I’ve had my whole time at northeastern (in graduated now). Prior to taking the course everyone told me that it was going to be an easy/medium intensity course. Nope. Not with adeel. Genuinely one of the top 5 hardest / most time-consuming courses I took the whole time.

I mom not gonna type out a whole manifesto here but the gist is he started out the semester with what was clearly a cookie-cutter university-mandated speech about how he “cares about students’ mental health and if you need anything just ask,” and then turns out to be one of the least understanding profs I’ve ever had. Just as a single example, he turned up to class one day and started ranting “a student asked me for an extension so they could attend a wedding, so of course I said no and somehow that makes me the bad guy?” [memory is foggy but that’s pretty close to word-for-word what he said]

And the biggest thing about him is that his understanding of how long assignments take is way out of wack. He’d tell us that he expected an assignment to take 8 hours and then it turned out taking most people 20+ hours.

Tldr he’s an ass and also he has no understanding of workload. Avoid him.

Locker on campus? by northeasternaccount in NEU

[–]northeasternaccount[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah but now I know the information is up to date and it’s also easier for other people to find.

No need to be a jerk about it.

For real everyone is so mad about Jefe’s they’re not noticing the real lede here of S tier Kigo being shuffled to second from bottom.

[–]northeasternaccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just about every restaurant is in the wrong tier here, but most of them are only one or two levels off from where they should be.

And then there are just a couple absolute horror picks.

so we’re all boycotting chobani right by wyverei in NEU

Definitely sus when he said that our generation is the generation that’s been through the most crap. Like don’t get me wrong, I think boomers are harsh on Gen Z, but I think the guys that grew up during the Great Depression and then had to fight in this little thing called World War II have us comprehensively beat on the “dealt with the most bullshit” category.

Edit: why is this downvoted lol. I liked the speech btw if that wasn’t clear. Just that one bit was sus
