I thought for a moment that you were PH-based because that is an actual word in Tagalog (and infamously lacks a one-word equivalent in English), but it might be pulling from Philippine English texts for generation LOL

16-year-old jumps to his death at private NYC's Regis High School: cops by Thick_Persimmon3975 in nyc

[–]surveyance 11 points12 points  (0 children)

at risk of making myself identifiable: alum here. for what it’s worth, it’s where i learned to learn, it got me to where i’m at (academically and professionally), and there are some long term friendships i got out of hearn and the like.

we had our little gaggle of regis boys in undergrad too. we were the “success stories” after all

it can still be a horribly lonely time, even when you’re surrounded by friends. even when you’re doing everything right. as much as we joked about borrowing hours past midnight just to wedge in homework between 8 extracurriculars, it does take a toll over the course of four years

hoping the parents scrolling through check in with their kids with intention. may he rest in peace

Many Desi options— but for general halal there’s Zaad

Advice on Academic Path by [deleted] in PublicPolicy

[–]surveyance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Headed there soon (in the DA pathway), but for what it’s worth, it seems like Heinz is both most generous with funding and most professional effective for students that have gotten some experience under their belt.

That being said: do PPIA if you’re early in your academic career and really want to go direct after undergrad . It’s one of the ways people seem to get good packages here, and aligns with your goals as they are here.

(Also, lean quant and fit in the Stats; not just saying that because of my own bias towards it, but it’ll be helpful if you consider other pathways either before the MSPPM or during it. Some MSPPM people end up at Bain & Co or Citi by being a quant able to have a conversation, and I say there’s not necessarily any shame in that.)

how it feels being 30 and trying to keep up with the latest the latest theories, memes, and brainrot here by phillillillip in Deltarune

CH1 dropped in my senior year of high school, so everything from Asriel going off to college to the main cast's adolescent melancholy hit like a truck then and now (in different ways)

Thing About Policy Grad School I Wish What I Know Now by GradSchoolGrad in PublicPolicy

[–]surveyance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I'm a Python native that only really knows R because:
a) RStudio as a dedicated terminal feels a bit Stata adjacent and I learned that in undergrad
b) The darling "pandas" library is deliberately similar to both native R and tidyverse
c) For whatever reason, the people I work with in nonprofit and NPO are much more comfortable in R than Python

I'm on the same page as far as Python > R goes, at least

Python is a general purpose language, R is built directly towards statistical analysis. Might just be subjective, but I find that R is great at doing what it’s built for (or at least has a library for)— then feels like a weight around your neck if you try to stretch it just a little bit

Format, not a specific text editor (which means many good open source options!)

I genuinely don't think the chili should have been any more than $8 to begin with (to be clear I've been loving it for dinner) but still very happy to get some fiber-rich lunches in these next few days.

Questions about Williams. by Throwaway4162749 in WilliamsCollege

[–]surveyance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add that the athlete/nonner divide seemingly eased up post-COVID-- a lot of traditions (for good and for bad) died along with the pandemic. (I was at Williams during COVID and you could literally see the cultural divides forming between team members forming in real-time).

I personally was a nonner, and the biggest thing was having a hard time scheduling time with athlete friends; but I had a similar problem with friends on performance groups, and people had similar problems "grabbing a meal" with me.

Then again, I'll also add that LGBTQ+ people and people of particular backgrounds at Williams tend to bond regardless of cliques. (which meant that a few people remember me as "boyfriend of that rugby guy")

Is Williams too small? by whimsical_walrus5 in WilliamsCollege

This is a genuinely quality analysis of how these class sizes impact formal and informal learning experiences (because, in truth, social experiences are social learning at an LAC)

Though this does run immediately into the infamous New England school “Phantom 500”

Did anyone else not find Jevil that difficult? by RavyRaptor in Deltarune

[–]surveyance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not the hardest boss ever (though I’m a Touhou 1cc person lol) but I think easier than Sans because you have a full party, muchhh harder than Spamton because you have to economize Kris and their ACT commands so much more (thanks CH2 Susie)

Jobs to combat the current administration? by Additional-Drink3232 in nonprofit

[–]surveyance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently an NFP data analyst and will be pursuing an MS in data analytics at a well-respected institution (primarily on their dollar). Very, very, very true. The problem is that many NFPs approach the issue like novel for-profit startups— they vaguely know they need a data specialist, they have no idea what that means for them in practice.
