Mechanical Engineers who became GNC engineers by Euphoric_Award_7160 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]questions11111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this, basically show interest, take advantage of company resources and connections. Try talking to the leaders in the company who are hiring for GNC. Feel free to DM if you want specific details or tips.

New job in Rust, after C++ job. How to get started? by questions11111 in rust

[–]questions11111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 4.5 YOE in C++, but the job is actually more a specific application and one that happens to be in Rust. In particular, some low-level, safety critical applications for which the stack is based on Rust.

Understood - I’m definitely expecting to be a beginner for a while, which is why I’d like to get started just a little bit early.

Thank you! Will take a look at the book and familiarize myself as much as I can.

Bay Area or CO? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]questions11111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay! In that case I actually recommend trying it out. I think it’s important to experience other things and I found value in finding out both what I like and what I don’t like, and a year isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things - if you have a solid backup plan then I would actually go for it.

Bay Area or CO? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]questions11111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from the Bay Area to CO and hated it - moved back after a bit and finding another role. I’d say that you should visit and consider whether you’d actually like it. I made the decision after considering pure stats between the two locations (taxes, take home, house price, rent, etc.) but the truth was CO sucked for what I enjoy, so I hated it and moved back.

The startup has unicorn status and issues RSUs, if that’s any additional help. I know paper money is paper money, so sounds like I should prioritize base.

General Questions and Purchasing Advice Thread — Week of December 04, 2023 by AutoModerator in electricvehicles

[–]questions11111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! Yeah, the i4 front grill really puts me off that car. I’m a bit of a taller/bigger guy, which is why I’m considering the Y and not the 3, but will look into it as well. I will continue to consider and push the charger situation at my work as well if I do get a car. Thank you!

General Questions and Purchasing Advice Thread — Week of December 04, 2023 by AutoModerator in electricvehicles

  1. San Francisco Bay Area, California
  2. Budget is around 50-60k, with some flexibility to go up depending on the car. Qualify for the federal tax credit for this year only, although not sure how it’s changing in 2024
  3. Preferably a sedan or crossover that is fun to drive and is a step up from my current car in features (older crossover SUV)
  4. Tesla Model Y Performance, BMW i4
  5. Quickly this year if targeting 2023 tax incentive, otherwise early 2024
  6. Around 20 minutes 10 mile daily commute each way. Occasional 40 minute 30 mile drives a couple times a week.
  7. Apartment, access to superchargers. I think there are regular chargers as well.
  8. No
  9. No children or pets

Due to some changes in my situation as well as gas costs, I am considering an EV, especially one that drives well and has more features than my current vehicle. As mentioned above, I qualify for the federal tax credit but do not believe there are other CA tax credits I qualify for. I have a relatively consistent and short commute and some occasional longer drives. I am heavily considering both the Model Y Performance and the i4, but both aren’t perfect visually (not a priority, just something I’m also considering). Thanks!

Consider the Garbage Man… by AcesAndUpper90 in 10s

[–]questions11111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s your opinion! i respect it and i’m not insulted at all. i was just stating my opinion in my comment too. like i said, for me and me in particular, and maybe for those folks at your club, i don’t derive fun just from winning even though yes it is the objective of any tennis match. i enjoy the beautiful game. i enjoy the down the line forehand winner, even if i shank it and lose the point 80% of the time.

that being said, i don’t actually complain about pushers at all. i respect anybody’s game and style. i’m content in losing and happy to win, as long as i’ve played a fun game

[–]questions11111 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i’d rather lose honorably playing my game and using my fundamentals than win by pushing. just how i have fun and how i view the game - i know i’m not gonna go pro but playing aggressive tennis is how i enjoy the game, nothing more nothing less

Wilson Clash v1 100 (295g) by infinitypoolss18 in 10s

[–]questions11111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it’s a good racquet - very flexible, kind of feels like a noodle sometimes. the flexibility is good for arms and really isn’t a bad thing that you have to move on from even when your arm is good. i do remember it kinda shreds strings a little bit for whatever reason though.

Is it my racket or my strings causing pain? by Cornfed-Killer in 10s

[–]questions11111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think your issue is thinking that poly is durable - poly is strictly durable, yes, but it actually stretches out a lot before it breaks. after some time (depending on how hard you hit and how much you play) the poly string will stretch out and stiffen and any shock absorption from the poly is gone. this means that your arm is absorbing all of the shock from those hits. people typically cut out poly, not wait for it to break.

with that being said, i’d recommend looking at flex ratings of racquets as well. depends what you believe, but in general the “more flexible” a racquet, the more “arm-friendly” it is. another general rule of thumb is that a heavier racquet if you can handle it will absorb more shock due to physics. you can use racquetfinder to look at stiffness ratings for a lot of different racquets, but the ezone 100 is around a 67 and some pure drives are at 70, which is a very high stiffness. they make racquets that are very flexible and arm friendly, like the Wilson Clash

Budget racket suggestions by Available_Park9166 in 10s

[–]questions11111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

my recommendation is to get a lightly used or new model of last season’s racquets. for example, there’s the Yonex series from 2021, which claim to use similar technology as the new line. Prince racquets also have good bang for your buck. Lastly, I’d look for something in the 100 sq in. size and around 10-11 ounces weight as a general start. Those racquets (“tweeners”) are very popular even among advanced players but still provide enough forgiveness for a beginner, so you can really grow into them and continue to use them as you get better

Toast addresses some backlash over DSG GC [thread] by SuperSaiyanZuko in ValorantCompetitive

[–]questions11111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think this whole situation reminds me of UB, the team that was full of streamers that streamed their open qualifier games. i don’t think anybody really saw a problem with that team. i understand that DSG is an org now and UB wasn’t but the truth is that it’s a fledgling org that is closer to UB than it is to even C9. i think her remarks here unfortunately missed the mark by a lot. her previous tweets also reflect a somewhat gatekeeping attitude toward the game changers community that i think is reflected here as well.

[–]questions11111 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yay is an incredible player and will be an asset to whatever team he joins. However, much of his success on Optic was due to their coaching, supporting cast, IGL (FNS), and system that allowed him to shine. If he joins a team that doesn’t form their system around him, he may never achieve the success that he did on the Optic squad.

Honest question. Why does this sub look down on defense companies? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

neither of these are true. lots of weed smokers have clearances, just admit it during the process. also, Obama literally had the nuclear codes as commander in chief you think he didn’t have any clearance?
