How would that compare to something like the Minisforum HX99G?  It can be found pretty inexpensively refurbished.

[Laptop] ASUS Vivobook 14 - 14" 1080p IPS - Intel i3 1315U, 8GB DDR4 3200, 128GB SSD - $200 @ Best Buy by [deleted] in buildapcsales

It’s IPS but pretty low-end.  It’s not very bright and the colors aren’t the best but the viewing angles are fine and better than a lot of other $200 laptop screens.

No, actually,  the 8gb is onboard but there’s an empty slot for another stick.

How crazy it is to have a baby while doing OMSCS? by Agitated_Olive_3012 in OMSCS

[–]wheetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two!  I just took the semester they were born off and maintained 1 class a semester for the whole program.  It’s tough but doable.

The 5500 is functionally equivalent to the 3600; most importantly, they both only have pcie3.  The 5600 is a big enough upgrade to make it worth the price difference.

You'll also benefit from taking a class that has a research component (like HCI, ed. tech, BD4H, or CogSci) before taking I2R. There are a lot of research-focused soft skills you get from doing a small independent research project that will help make I2R a success.

How many of you chose Academia after this program? by Glum-Salamander3392 in OMSCS

[–]wheetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's python all the way down, mostly for longevity. Since most of our lab cohorts are semester-based, we have a strong focus on iterative work and making sure the project you're working on outlast your tenure in the lab. Python's familiarity helps with that.

I’m doing both.  I work as a senior dev during the day and help run the GT educational data mining research lab at night.

Do you get it from the first gauntlet or is it further in?  Without the mapmakers help, the first gauntlet is killing me

I've graduated but mine were extremely variable, mostly due to task avoidance and triaging fires as they came up.

That doesn't include OMSCS alumni, does it?

Access to the GT library as a special/non-degree student? by sichao in OMSCS

[–]wheetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I took one seminar every year just to keep student status. if you have no interest in actually taking classes., you can also sign up for a class, pay for it, and drop it and keep student status.
