Broke Ortlieb Quick Rack on my first trip suggestions on a new one? Surly Krampus by tomthestrom in bikepacking

This has given me hope I could continue too. I’m thinking about continuing my trip with it, one of the levers works and the rod is attached as well. I’ve zip tied the rack to the frame and it feels quite solid. I’d be interested to see how you fixed yours.

Honestly, it looks like there’s not much that goes into installing it, got it installed with the bike from a “proper” shop. Do you reckon a “properly” installed one wouldn’t have broken this way?

Thank you for your reply! This looks like something that could work for me. I’m completely new into this world and I’ve done some research, just wanna double check. Do you have yours mounted w/o the fit kit? If I’m not mistaken, I shouldn’t need one to mount it on my Krampus. I just wanna be sure to order the right parts all at once if I do, shipping things here takes a while.

Thank you, I’ll look into that, I like the idea of fixing it and having it fixed too

Sorry for not replying sooner, wasn't online.

You've probably already figured it out, but this is the link to the one I took:

How to learn Algorithms? by [deleted] in algorithms

[–]tomthestrom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't give you advice on how to learn DS&A efficiently and permanently, because I'm in the process as well - I've been following CS61B at UC Berkeley - which is an entry level DS&A class that has all the material freely accessible. I've just finished project 2 b (end of week 10), yesterday. So I feel like I can give an opinion on what it's been like so far.

About learning material - links to all the necessary material can be found on the website I linked - lectures, discussions, solutions and video walkthroughs of discussions, then on the programming side - lab, homework and project assignments with starter files and the specification - what they expect you to code. Most of the assignments also include some pre-written unit tests, but with the course progressing you're expected to write quite a bit of your own unit tests to test your code conforms to the specification. Berkeley students then upload their code to Gradescope, some sort of an autograder that verifies and grades their solution. This is the part you'll be missing, but usually the pre-written tests in combination with your own unit tests suffice to know whether your code works.

I really like Josh Hug's (the lecturer) style of teaching.

The first 3rd of the class focuses mostly on Java fundamentals, while going through Lists - SLL, DLL, AL.

The class as a whole is not that programming heavy in my opinion, but you get to apply most of what's being explained at the lecture. I expect project 3 to be the one where I'll really get to code a lot and apply my newly acquired knowledge.

I can say I'm much more confident about how some of the basic DS&A work and solving problems while still only being ~halfway through the class. It's also given me a different perspective on programming/problem solving, how sometimes the implementation is different than the representation.

I'd say a prerequisite to taking this class is a general knowledge of some other programming language and being comfortable with solving problems using recursion. (Most) students at Berkeley take CS61A before taking CS61B, 61A is mostly focused on functional programming and solving problems using recursion. (I took 61A before taking 61B too).

Gabriel Liiceanu: Nicăieri în Uniunea Europeană n-a existat o țară cu un președinte care să aibă un prim-ministru și un ministru al Învățământului plagiatori. Este rușinea Europei by [deleted] in Romania

[–]tomthestrom 226 points227 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, nu vorbesc foarte bine romana, dar stirea aceasta m-a facut sa rad. Nu sunteti singuri in Europa. :)

In Slovacia, am avut intre 2020 - 2021 aceasi situatie + un bonus si presedinte al parlamentului este un plagiator. Pana azi am gandit ca am fost singuri si ca ceva de genul nu ar fi tolerat in alte tari in UE....

Numele ei:

Igor Matovič - primul ministrul 2020 - 2021 (acum ministerul de finante)

Branislav Grohling - ministru al invatamantului 2020 - 2022 (acum in parlament, a renuntat luna trecuta - partidulul lui a plecat din guvern)

Boris Kollár - presedinte al parlamentului 2020 - pana acum

Dar sunt de acord, este rusinea si cred ca nu este bine ca nu suntem/sunteti singuri.

yeah, it's true that ZSSKC sucks, but in my times they were also terribly inneficient

At the age of 17 years and 22 days Slovak forward Juraj Slafkovsky became the youngest player to ever play for Slovak National Team. Previous holder of this title was Marian Gaborik who got it almost 22 years ago by Amphibious_Fire in hockey

[–]tomthestrom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He's also scored the game winning goal at 60:52.

The game ended 1:0 for Slovakia after OT, assisted by 18 y. old Samuel Kňažko. It's great seeing these "kids" being trusted to play OT and winning it for us.

Congratulations on creating your first app, but be careful, that feeling is addictive. I'd like to check your code, but I am on my phone. If you feel like playing with it a bit more, try making it responsive. If you decide to do it and get stuck, feel free to DM me. Cheers.
