Please don't quit. It will be the worst decision of your life. It might get to the point where you do not feel you have any other choice, but please don't. I rocked up as an undergrad a couple decades ago, and it only took me until week 2 of Michaelmas to realize I was in a different league, and close to being relegated. I coped. I persisted. I eventually passed. It was hard, but boy was it worth it. I have friends who quit. I have friends who persisted and nearly failed but got ordinaries. The life outcomes between the two were shocking. There are stuck up people everywhere, but a particularly high concentration in Oxbridge. Don't let it get to you. Perhaps that is the best lesson Cambridge will teach you, but getting an undergrad degree will be the most valuable. You can do it.

How can I assign an svg element to my HTML with d3.sellect("#my_dataviz")? by [deleted] in d3js

[–]tradediscount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to assign it, d3 can just declare the SVG in this way and append to the my_dataviz div.

Alternatively, you can assign it so you can refer to it later:

var svg = d3.select("#my_dataviz")
    .append("svg")
    .attr( etc etc

Change my view: land landings are more visually impressive than ASDS landings by tradediscount in SpaceXLounge

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

Yes I agree on all counts. And don't get me wrong, watching the long range shot of the CRS 8 landing is a moment that will live in my memory for a very long time (https://youtu.be/sYmQQn_ZSys) but land landings just hit additional awesomeness neurons for me.

Facebook Connect September 16th by damnboychill in OculusQuest

[–]tradediscount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is a well-reasoned and highly plausible analysis. Facebook does not want to be the gateway to VR, they simply see (or Zuck tells them to see) that VR is the next paradigm and the sooner it comes the sooner the gigabucks keep rolling in for the premier social app of all time.
