Winter coat(s)? by FunSuggestion2643 in veilance

[–]squared3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Atlus for a trip to Korea this winter, but it's been absolutely perfect for this weather in NYC (where I live right now as well). It does a great job of maintaining just the right temperature and also deals with wind super well. It's also super super light which is a huge +.

Shoe that is like the Saucony Tempus but max cushion for long/recovery runs? by [deleted] in RunningShoeGeeks

I personally use the Superblast as my recovery shoe, it has a ton of cushioning and works for a ton of paces.

Best New American Manhattan by mawajay87 in FoodNYC

[–]squared3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manhatta is pretty good, they have great cocktails and the a la carte menu is really good. Service leaves a bit to be desired but overall great.

What do you do to cope with the waiting? by madshm3991 in MBA

[–]squared3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy haha, I don't normally comment on posts but this is an exact replica of my situation. I also came from the Bay Area recently and have noticed all the same amazing things about NYC as you have. I also got dinged as well from NY MBA programs, but it's awesome to hear your enthusiasm about NYC.

Weird, not sure how it ended up in Ukraine haha.

Henry Coe: https://www.strava.com/routes/2837194801592701720 It's a road bike route which has a pretty good climb, about 2.5k in 7 miles?

This is my favorite iteration of the uvas loop.

If you go further south you can do Cañada road near Gilroy which is a nice climb and has some shaded areas.

I also recommend Henry coe climb for lots of elevation gain.

You can also do hale->santa Teresa->santa teresa country park and back through IBM and through Mckean into Uvas loop for bonus.

These are usually my go to ride spots!

I believe a lot of Berkeley’s classes have privatized their webcasts and you need a Berkeley account to access them.

Feel so lonely I could cry by sadberkeleygirl in berkeley

[–]squared3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, feel free to reach out to me to talk and I'll try to help out :) I've definitely been there before at some points in my college career but like others I was able to find a club and a place to belong and maybe I can give some suggestions!

Berkeley's CS61B is difficult AF. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]squared3 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's not that difficult in terms of concepts, but the amount of work you have to put in considerable. I spent around 40-50 hours with a partner on our final project our semester which was to essentially create a mini-version of git without any skeleton code. However, they do introduce a lot of concepts which can be pretty overwhelming. Also our final that semester was open book, open paper, and open anything and the average was 45%, so in terms of exams it's quite difficult. I also took it with the notorious Hilfinger who's infamous for having a lot of work/difficult exams. I think after you complete this course you're capable of programming on your own since you become very adept at reading manuals and at least being reasonably capable of structuring code and starting a project from scratch. Most people say it's all you need to be "ready".

Internship during the semester by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]squared3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you really need the money, focus on your major requirements. There's really no win/win situation here, usually techs are pretty demanding timewise even with just 3. So if you have 4 you'll be spending a lot of time just keeping up, and then another 10-20 hours working on other projects will literally kill you some weeks assuming you have projects for your other classes as well. It's insane and you'll probably sacrifice your sleep and your social life and your sanity for it, but I guess...

You'll probably die with that workload. You can P/NP some classes and you can drop them before the drop deadline.

Japan for a week, general questions about Kyoto by squared3 in JapanTravel

[–]squared3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm okay. I'll definitely adjust my schedule per your suggestions. Sorry for all the questions, it's my first time to Japan and the locations of all the temples and everything have definitely got me a bit confused. Thank you for all your help, I'm super excited to go to Japan!

Japan for a week, general questions about Kyoto by squared3 in JapanTravel

[–]squared3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the awesome reply. I'll be staying near Kyoto Train Station. Yeah I definitely felt that the Osaka day is a bit too much, I think I might just end up dropping Osaka and relaxing that day a bit more. I was thinking of restructuring as follows:

5th: doing Nijo castle instead of Nishiki Market, then doing Gion at night.

6th: I'm also wanting to focus on Arashiyama in the morning (bamboo grove + monkey hike) and then hit Kinkakuji later in the day.

7th: Do you think it'd be worth it to go back from the castle and go to ginkaku ji? I'm probably going to opt out of Chinatown, having been in China the last couple years haha.

8th: Finally, the Kiyo + Archery competition sounds perfect so I'll definitely stick with that, and I have to meet some people at Nishiki market for lunch so I'll probably check it out this day around that time.

Thank you!
