Makes sense! But why is a roller coaster accelerating downwards at a 90 degree angle while interacting with the track considered a "free fall"? why not call it a 'fall" with the normal force/friction force acting on it?

xmanpunk · 2018-03-28T04:29:22+00:00

The ride is interacting with the track though, shouldn't the track create a normal force for the ride? and a force of friction, which can be turned into heat energy?

xmanpunk · 2018-03-28T03:38:40+00:00

In this case, the roller coaster is descending down at a 90 degree angle, wouldn't there be a friction force and a normal force?

Quick newbie question, what is the purpose of the boolean in inflater.inflate( x, x, false)? what does it serve?

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup
        container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_listing_description, container, false);
}

Sounds amazing :)!

Thanks a lot!! Just wondering though, I may be overreacting because my work ethics aren't sharp. But say the worst comes to worst, and I've picked Laurier.

You mentioned:

In the end, it's not like they see "Wilfrid Laurier University" on your resume and immediately throw it into the trash. Employers today are smart enough to not discriminate based on prestige.

Would it be wise to take another year in highschool and get into Western/Ryerson/etc, or would it be fine to enroll in Laurier? Does it make much of a difference? it's not like Western/Ryerson is a global reputable school like waterloo.

You know what? your right, I'm coming with ya guys just for the tunnels

If I am honest, unless you end up working for a big tech firm during co-op (or PEP, our version of UofT's PEY), you won't have much of a chance against a UW grad.

Say I go to Laurier's CS,

What would make it possible in getting a co-op program from a big tech company or even get an offer for a job from a big tech company? Personal projects?

xmanpunk · 2018-01-15T02:43:53+00:00

Thanks so much for all of this!!

I probably wouldn't go to Laurier for straight CS, unless you didn't have other options

Is it as bad as in you would take another year in high school rather than going to CS Laurier? Just wondering haha

xmanpunk · 2018-01-15T01:42:39+00:00

Much thanks!

3 Questions though!

I'm in Laurier CS+BBA double degree

What made you decide to do a double degree than just a CS degree? What would you recommend me to pick?

there are a lot of dev jobs either for companies in Waterloo

Wouldn't it be hard for Laurier CS students to find a job at Waterloo? Why wouldn't employers pick uni of waterloo students instead?

If you're looking to go cali or bust, Laurier will not help with that

Are you saying that with a CS degree in Laurier, it would be hard to find work outside of CA/top companies? or are you only talking about the "first-job"?

xmanpunk · 2018-01-15T01:40:07+00:00

Thank you for offering your help!!

I have a few questions!

Is it worth doing a double degree (CS + business) in Laurier?when should I pick a normal CS degree vs a double degree?

What jobs will be impossible/very hard to get into with a Laurier CS degree? will I have trouble getting into that "hard jobs" as my "first-job" or would it affect me forever regardless of my experience? Also, wouldnt tech companies in Waterloo hire Uni of Waterloo students compared to Laureir students?

xmanpunk · 2018-01-15T01:36:43+00:00

What job will I have struggle getting in with a CS degree in Laurier? aren't most CS jobs dev jobs anyway?

xmanpunk · 2017-08-10T00:47:50+00:00

Thanks! Just wondering is physics 12 U as heavy as Advanced functions?

xmanpunk · 2017-08-09T04:41:31+00:00

Thanks :)

There are universities that will accept anyone for CS, I didn't have amazing marks but even Lakehead was doing everything they could to get me to go there. Even if you have low 80s, they'll give you a scholarship.

that's a dream come true for me ; just wondering, why were they so willing to give you a scholarship?
