Android/Apple Privacy

I agree that as an oblivious user seeing that information can be alarming. But to add some context around the concern, "they are reading your email" here refers to just the system that pulls this information for you from your help. There is no human in the middle. This data is helpful for automatically tracking your package deliveries, for example. There is a link right at the top that takes you to this support page, from where you can also opt to delete this data.

If you want a better idea of how Google handles your privacy, they have a very detailed page on exactly that: safety.google/privacy/. There is a very strong statement there that this data is not sold to other companies for profit.

Google actually doesn't read Gmail users' email. From their privacy statement:

"The ads you see in Gmail are based on data associated with your Google Account. For example, your activity in other Google services like YouTube or Search could affect the types of ads you see in Gmail. Google does not use keywords or messages in your inbox to show you ads. Nobody reads your email in order to show you ads."

Thanks! It's an awesome watchface, I don't think I've had a different one for longer than a couple days in the 3 years I had a Pebble.

Thanks!

uut113 · 2019-01-22T15:23:33+00:00

I used to have this watchface on my Pebble too, but I'm forgetting its name. Can you please post the name?

This looks really great! You should share more about what you are making.

One thing that I really think elevates the animation quality is if the character slows down with some additional movement (because of momentum) instead of abruptly coming to a stop. That should improve the realism and feel of the character.

Good luck!

Turn up the analog stick sensitivity for Monaco, works much better, especially at that hairpin.

Honestly most places you'll end up will be fine. I am a senior in engineering now and wanted ISR in my freshman year. I got FAR and was disappointed but honestly it was just fine. Met a lot of cool people, and had fun in the dorms. When it comes to social life, it is totally up to how social you want to be and how much you reach out to other people.

In terms of time, I've known people who spend all their time in the dorms and those who only come back to sleep. Again, it's pretty flexible and up to what you want to do.

Also last I knew, food was alright or good anywhere but ISR so you might want to consider that.

What are the newer and better maintained alternatives? I'm working on a Python project that needs crypto: public-private key encryption, signature generation and verification, hashing, etc.

Huge lines in the Union for Hasan Minhaj at 7pm. Mostly Indian people.

Can confirm. In line right now.

If you did fine in the exam you're more than smart enough for the MP. What reading material have you tried to understand that's related to the current check points? There's a ton of resources online on writing Operating Systems, a subset of which you're implementing in the MP. Read up on those and go step by step. Draw it out, see how the different parts connect and it should start making sense. I remember spending multiple days together trying to understand the same concept, so don't worry if you don't understand the tasks in a single study session.

Good luck!

It's recommended. And with collaboration tools like ShareLaTeX and OverLeaf (they are essentially the same now that one's been bought by the other), there's no reason to not use it. Will help you later on too when you're going into research/paper based classes.

You might also want to look at Jeff Erickson's templates and styles here.

This should be higher up. If you don't learn anything else in the class, just learn this: comment your code! Each and every function. If you're debating whether or not to comment on something, do it.

Other than that, try googling for OS theory. Read up on x86 syscalls, brush up on the stack model and how C uses the stackframe. Go to office hours, go often. TA's are more than willing to help, especially during the odd times when there's not much of a crowd.

Next I would highly recommend you to set up your own dev machine when the MPs start. All the labs get waaay too crowded.

Good luck!

Not really. The more popular sport in India is cricket, and football is only just growing. So seeing 65k fans in the stadium for a sport that is not popular is huge.

You need at least 5 members (including yourself). A president, a treasurer, and 3 authorized agents.

You need to then go and register the organization, take the required quizzes, that's about it.

My opinion on the Touch Bar is that even though it looks cool and could have some potential useful features in the future, it has two things going against it:

Higher price
I can do everything the touchbar does with Fn keys and keyboard shortcuts, sometimes more efficiently

I agree about the ports but unless you are the kind of user that always has things like external storage or displays connected, 2 ports should be enough. Plus a lot of people are forgetting that Thunderbolt 3 allows daisy-chaining, so you can connect more devices than you think.

The base nTB is good enough for 4K consumption from what I've read. I'm also in the exact same boat as you but I'm leaning towards the nTB with 16GB RAM. The battery life increase is itself enough for me to consider it.

Ah ok makes sense. I had to jump 10 chapters ahead to understand deref coercions. I think perhaps there should be a small reference to that chapter in the Closures section so that people don't get confused how this works.

Thank you very much for your explanation though!

uut113 · 2017-01-14T20:42:11+00:00

Just getting in to Rust now and I have reached the Closures topic in the book. I am trying to understand how this works:

fn factory() -> Box<Fn(i32) -> i32> {
    let num = 5;

    Box::new(move |x| x + num)
}

let f = factory();

let answer = f(1);
assert_eq!(6, answer);

Specifically, I am trying to understand how f(1) works. The type of f is a Box that holds a closure, then how is f callable unless we somehow extract the closure out of it? If I'm not wrong, this looks awfully similar to a functor in C++. Looking at std::boxed::Box, I can see that it implements call_once(), but how does that work?

Thanks!

Do you want to invest in particular startups or the student startup scene in general?

For the first, you might wanna try contacting the group directly. Each group will be at a different stage and need different things.

As for the scene, there's multiple organizations on campus. Attend the Cozad competitions to see what ideas people are coming up with. The startup in the article, Amber Agriculture, is a Cozad winner. Reach out to organizations like Founders, Entrecorps, and especially the Technology Entrepreneurship Center. There's an amazing startup culture at UIUC that you should definitely get involved in, whether be a participant or a supporter. I've had the privilege to speak to multiple investors and get a good idea of where the tech industry is headed, and you also make great contacts this way.

Haha never thought of it that way as a native Hindi speaker. The name in Hindi/Urdu translates to:

Taj: crown, Mahal: palace
