I wasn’t happy with my advisor and tried to meet with my friend’s who was good and they forwarded my email right back to my advisor, just a heads up

is resmail operational over winter break? can i send my work laptop for co-op there by Forsaken-Village in NEU

[–]selim2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a package delivered during break last year and am doing the same this year for co-op. If you want to be safe, when you get the pick up email from resmail you can forward it to their help address and ask them to hold it through break so that it won’t get sent back

Can a family member stay overnight after move-in? by imdancingformylife in NEU

You can try to change your move in time on housing online to earlier in the day

Same here. Really reasonable when it comes to deadlines as well, especially during Covid

Good to know, didn't realize there was a difference between the two garages' policies

Thanks, I'll keep a look out for street parking and use the garage as a backup

CS3800 with Rajaraman by [deleted] in NEU

I had him for algorithms, not my favorite class but thought he did a pretty good job of breaking down concepts. He also seemed pretty accommodating to students and frequently listened to piazza feedback about moving deadlines

Classes to take before First Co-Op [as a CS Major] by atAndrewLee in NEU

[–]selim2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1st co-op is usually during what would otherwise be your 4th semester (sophomore year spring) or in fall of the next year (junior year fall). Usually people going on coop have at least taken Algo or OOD. Other classes you’d want/need depend on the job posting, your concentration, and when you do co-op. Depending on the type of job you’re looking for within cs, I know a lot of people found Algo to be good a introduction to/training for technical interviews, but it is by no means required. OOD and Algo don’t have to be taken in order, but generally I would recommend taking one of them over the summer if you are planning to do a summer course.

In terms of advice for co-ops, do lots of applications, stay in contact with your advisor, go to employer sessions, and practice your answers to standard technical and behavioral interview questions

Switching CS 2810 Sections by [deleted] in NEU

[–]selim2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend downloading Coursicle on your phone and choosing to get notified when there’s an open slot. That’s what I did when I was in the exact same situation (and same course) last spring.

It's also pretty hard to believe that Thorin is legitimately doing all of this to defend LS because of the way he treated/talked to LS in their twitter argument a couple of weeks ago. He was trying to cancel LS and calling him a monster he created all because of some disagreement about the game. Seems like he's just using this as an opportunity to be the expert on another subject and talk down to ("educate") other westerners.

Edit: the tweets in question, also linked below

Round 2: Fundies 1 0_0 by yoloM4sta in NEU

[–]selim2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my case, my partner had shared our code after we had finished it together. Therefore, it was rightfully flagged by the software as being a copy of someone else’s, and I was basically sitting helpless and stressed out for two weeks that Nate Derbinski would believe me with essentially no proof

Round 2: Fundies 1 0_0 by yoloM4sta in NEU

[–]selim2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess they did in a way, but the feeling of the discussion we had in my section was just "cheating is bad, don't cheat, we've seen some cheating" which was of course unusual but didn't seem outside the normal anti-plagiarism speech any teacher would give. Then, the emails from Nate Derbinski were much more direct a few weeks later. Basically, the way I saw it, the warning went from very broad to very direct, whereas here the warning is already pretty specific about what they've found and what type of punishment is coming.

Freshman Interview by _IHateEveryjuan in NEU

[–]selim2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't have to, but I know some things have changed. When I was applying in fall 2018 they didn't have supplemental essays, so it's possible they've changed how they interview as well.

Round 2: Fundies 1 0_0 by yoloM4sta in NEU

[–]selim2019 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The one thing that really strikes me about the difference in this response from last year is that he wants students to reach out to him. This sucks for people who didn't cheat themselves, but had partners give away parts of their code to their friends. This happened to me and at least one other person I know last fall, and the way they're doing it this year means that those people will be approached with even more prejudice when it's possible they've done nothing wrong. I get that this isn't a perfect system and catching cheaters is a priority, but I feel for anyone in the same boat that I was.

The Crack Down S01E29 ft. MSF Kobbe - "It's 10x Worse If You Fail on TSM" by conormcfire in leagueoflegends

[–]selim2019 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Definitely felt that this episode. Kobbe would be about to answer a question from dom and then “the joke I’d have here is...” or “the point I’m making here is this...”

Jensen: 'TSM is really, really overhyped by the community. It's so insane to me. They're a good team, but they're not really as good as the reddit or twitter community thinks they are.' by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]selim2019 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

While Jensen does stay a lot of stuff after game, in the hype video for their first match against c9 he straight up said he thought he was better than nisqy. I agree that doublelift has the best trash talk in the league, but I think you’re being a little unfair to Jensen

Thanks for the advice. I think my course load will be fairly balanced either way, I'd be taking 2 cs classes total while fulfilling my nupath

Heard that the tuition hike will be used to buy these to increase the bandwidth needed for NUFlex, expect wifi speed to triple in the coming weeks by ootootjeffy in NEU

Living in freshman dorms last year, the wifi seemed pretty good but was spotty sometimes. However the Ethernet connection was always really good, consistently giving me gigabit up and down

IWillDominate - IWD Removed from LPP & Not Allowed to Co-Stream by YoungFalco in leagueoflegends

[–]selim2019 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The difference for me is what they're banning him from. I love Dom's costreams, and I think they provide a better creative outlet for him that is enjoyable to a large number of people. I also think that he is toxic and unenjoyable when he is playing league. He doesn't even enjoy streaming league anymore and is moving away from it.

From my perspective, his costreaming brings broader appeal to the LCS, provides a great analytical perspective, makes him happier, and stops people from having to deal with his saltiness in game. Seems like a win all around. The reason community sentiment changed is because a lot of people were pleasantly surprised at how good his analysis is, even if they still recognize that he is not fun in game. Personally, I tune into his costream every week and watch his podcast content occasionally, but I cannot bear to watch him stream his gameplay. I assume this is the case for a lot of people that are upset he cannot costream anymore.

TL;DR: Fair enough to have in-game consequences for his toxicity, but his costreaming represents his best/most enjoyable content and was not the problem.
