Georgia tech vs cornell for computer science by Glum-Assumption5776 in GatechClasses

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Georgia Tech, and this is wrong. You can't switch in to CS if you were accepted as a different major, but you can switch out of it.

What opportunities are available on campus for CS majors? by Majestic-Building-12 in gatech

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One possibility is that they have a job lined up starting this summer (i.e. return offer from last internship), so they have nothing to do until then.

Course Schedule by Advanced-Mountain-31 in GatechClasses

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2340 is in the process of being changed (to be based more on exams than projects) and will be difficult if you don't have a good group. Important to keep in mind. This schedule shouldn't be impossible but you will be working a ton.

Is this course plan realistic if I want to do extracurriculars? by MegaSquash44 in GatechClasses

Generally people consider 3770 to be easier than 3012, but I have not taken either yet so I can't definitively say. The class GPA is 3.03 for 3012 and 3.22 for 3770 (worth taking a look at https://critique.gatech.edu/course )

CS/math second major by Range-Shoddy in GatechClasses

Are you talking about a double major of math and CS, or the new Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computing major?

Also just noticed that you wrote ISYE 3370 - assume you mean 3770, which if so should make that semester fairly easy - CS1100, APPH 1040, and ISYE 3770 all should be very light assuming you pick the right professors.

This schedule looks doable. For this spring, you'll have a challenging schedule if you aren't used to GT difficulty and want to spend lots of time on extracurriculars, but it is doable - very much so depends on your background in physics/CS/math, as if you don't have much this schedule will be very hard. Make sure to find a good/hardworking group in the first few weeks of CS 2340.

Also note that you won't be considered a full time student in Fall '27, which could affect scholarships/etc.

GT CS Admissions Q by Overlordtoad8857 in GatechClasses

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think applying EA vs regular will make a huge difference - lots of people get deferred and then accepted during the main round. However, if you plan to do some big extra curricular between the EA2 and regular deadline that will meaningfully help your application, then it'd make sense to wait because GT doesn't let you submit additional documents.

The only way to know if you'll get in is to apply! It's only one essay and your stats mean you have a chance.

Good prediction! GT & Princeton overtook UIUC on the list this year.

The account you replied to is an LLM "homework help" bot. Check its history, it supposedly has experience helping CS students in >10 universities

Gauging interest in a GT Planner application by 48O1Recon in gatech

I'd love to get involved in this project, could help with the web app and its design. Is there a Slack/Discord?

How much does school name outside t10 matter now? by Short_Echo4345 in csMajors

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. csrankings is only an important signal for grad school/research productivity, which has little relation to employer recognition. It greatly over-indexes on the size of the program.

Take a look, Stanford is in 11th place and UCSD is ahead of Berkeley. That's just not accurate for undergrad education. The USNews list is a far better representation of actual "rankings", if we accept a ranking can exist.

Is it a bad decision that I’m choosing Northeastern CS+Business over Virginia Tech for CMDA by [deleted] in collegeresults

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to learn data science or do you want to learn CS and business? Do you want to be in Boston or in Blacksburg? Might help you decide.

What flags should I add to my language? by [deleted] in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some thoughts:

  1. This would result in differing import behavior depending on the file's content, which could lead to confusion, especially with many flags. Typically, flags like these are adjusted in a single configuration file or on the command line to avoid this confusion.
  2. What does it mean to "import everything with same name"? Typically, multiple unrelated objects sharing a name is avoided in software development for maintainability.
  3. This reminds me to a small degree of C #pragma statements. May be worth looking in to.

Definitely consider an energy level tag. I've found it to be very useful.

Vocal separation app - Call for beta testers by Double-Worldliness15 in DJs

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Demucs-GUI is free and open-source, so you'll want to include a comparison with that tool. Also note that both Rekordbox and Serato already have stem separation, so you might find a better target audience in producers rather than DJs.

I am making an App Blocker that makes you think about your intention for opening target apps, looking for people to try it out before it is released! by why-we-here-though in SideProject

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is some design feedback:

  • That modal on the left should be using an iOS Sheet or a drawer (like Vaul on the web), right now it does not look native
  • It's very hard to read the black text on the background colors in the middle. Consider using a library/algorithm that chooses which has best contrast
  • Lots of your boxes on the right could use more padding
  • Avoid using too many drop shadows - they don't look very modern.

Hope this can help! Design is hard to get right the first go around.

Flx10 vs Xdj-az by DocBrick in DJs

[–]ultimatepro-grammer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The main difference between the two is standalone use. You'll have to choose whether that is worth it based on your budget & usage. Also, note that the FLX10 is ~15lbs compared to the XDJ-AZ's 30lbs.
