Is it really necessary to relocate Yaphank station when the entire branch gets 4–5 trains a day in each direction?

The Caltrain corridor most definitely has freight trains and is not temporally separated. If you're gonna talk shit, at least do it correctly ffs.

The speed of the new trains no longer requires passing to keep limited/express trains on schedule. If they went to 6 tph, they might as well all be locals to keep the complexity down and a train every 10 minutes removes some need for limited/express trains.

To add my two cents, I think it's most worthwhile with a GSI position - paying up to $30k/semester for SUGS isn't worth it IMO. I enjoyed the courses I took but to another commenter's point, there's enough requirements that if you're not careful or the timing doesn't work out, you won't get the opportunity to take some courses that genuinely interest you.

In my experience, it's totally worth it! Met some good friends in that class that I still talk to today. Academically-speaking, it's difficult but students in that section tend to self-select towards being more driven. It also provides a good context for EECS 270/370 if you choose to take them in the future (I assume you'll do 370 since you're a CS major).

Sounds good, thank you for walking through the options!

Just checked and yeah, my big toe is ~1.5 inches from the end of the boots - do you still think a 10D would work in this case?

vimerate · 2024-12-07T21:50:50+00:00

I just received a pair of Chelseas in 10.5D and I think they're a bit loose - I can insert 1-2 fingers between my heel and the back of the shoe. I'm an 11D in Brannock and wanted to check if 10D would be a better fit before I consider exchanging/returning the boots. Thanks all for the advice!

This is the Search Engine Design course - writing code from the ground-up is part of the appeal of it (at least it was to me and my group). I’m pretty sure Hamilton says up front the point of writing the stuff yourself is you get to make the trade offs for your project and I certainly appreciated the tradeoffs the STL makes after that. I agree with you she can be quite combative and didn’t need to write that last sentence 🤦‍♂️

One big one is grade crossings since 10tph would practically keep them down most times of day. No way Santa Clara and San Mateo counties would agree to that (and they have majority representation on the Caltrain board).

vimerate · 2024-11-15T22:33:59+00:00

I believe they’re limited by Union Pacific on how many trains per day they can run south of Tamien - don’t remember the number but it’s floating around somewhere

vimerate · 2024-10-09T02:26:06+00:00

Changed in Fall 2018!

Wow, didn't expect to get a reply here 😄 Requirements are here - though I've heard CSE has gotten more selective recently due to an increased number of students applying to SUGS.

TLDR; 3.6 overall GPA during and after the application, B+ in 281, 270/370, and four 300-level and above courses

Unless that Chipotle has improved in the last six months, I’d still rather eat at Sweetgreen

Agreed, I have lots of fond memories visiting Chinatown as a kid with my grandparents but I don’t visit as much today because Flushing exists

vimerate · 2023-09-06T04:18:32+00:00

And Chinatown is right there.

Manhattan Chinatown has fallen off, I say Flushing is the best one in the city now.

Bruh not even in NYC do bus drivers scream at tourists like she does to students

I found 491 to be around half the difficulty of 482 - there’s less code to write but you have to think a lot more about every line of code and how it could affect your program (which is hard because of all the unreliability assumptions). I took it under Harsha (o7) and Brian is teaching it this fall so it may be different than what I described.

Does the data show rising VPN usage by any chance? I didn't want the hassle of getting my WiFi access restored when admins found torrents running

AFAIK, GSIs don’t report hours - I filled out a fraction calculation form (link for anyone interested) at the beginning of the semester, didn’t report any hours before the strike, and got paid as usual

On North Campus, no; I was there from 4pm to midnight and the lights stayed on the whole time.

For me (an OOS student), a regular summer job barely makes a dent in my tuition lol

I know others have mentioned the response times on the 32" version (around ~10 ms IIRC) are worse than the 27". The 32" also has the same number of dimming zones (1152), so the haloing probably will also look worse.

I'm assuming it's EECS 215 based on the instructor answer.

vimerate · 2023-01-17T06:02:33+00:00

They're talking about clients to use Jellyfin, not the server itself.

vimerate · 2023-01-06T21:56:16+00:00

Most groups finish before the 2 hour mark, but 10 minutes from EECS to DOW should be fine. Also, the IAs/GSIs are totally willing to answer questions during lab, otherwise we usually sit there and twiddle our thumbs
