The Electronic Gaming Society and RIT Esports are collaborating with Tespa and Overwatch to host the first ever collegiate Overwatch FlashOps event on Saturday April 7th (Tomorrow!) starting at 4:00pm in Golisano 1400, 1455, 1445, and 1435. Let's show the Overwatch community what RIT is all about and start off this series with a bang!

Read more about the FlashOp event series on the Overwatch Website < https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/21671840 > RSVP to our Facebook event < https://www.facebook.com/events/347928272382448/?active_tab=about >

According to OpenStreetMap, that building is labeled "Rocket Motor Testing". I did find this project via Google that references an "on campus bunker".

So perhaps its used for Rocket Testing?

What? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N5FR06?tag=price19210-20&amp;ascsubtag=wtbs_5dc8980ea1bdb22ec457faeb $10.99 for one.

Corner store takes a pretty uniform 60% markup on all their products, and likes to offer products like this to keep people from under utilizing their meal plan, which is just as skeevy as it sounds.

I mean, Candy.com sells them for a huge $24.99, while Hershey's themselves sell them for $19.99, but walmart, jet and amazon stay firm at $10.99, so maybe RIT is getting ripped off by the grocery distributor they use. But the higher prices at those locations kind of makes sense considering their only place to profit is candy.

Coho would probably argue about their buying power not availing them a cheaper bulk price, but whatever, they could be selective about whether their 60% markup takes certain items beyond the scope of reason, but they choose not to.

Unless I need an online access code to do the HW, I use libgen to get all of my textbooks. I then upload the files to Google books so that my progress syncs across all of my devices

According to the terms and condidtions "the number of points required to reach a threshold has been statistically normalized to account for the fact that schools with larger enrollments are able to earn points faster than schools with smaller enrollment." So even though we're not on the leaderboard point-wise (yet), we may be earning more storage space faster than the leaders, though they have more points.

TLDR: DON'T BE DETERRED, LET'S BEAT MIT

It wasn't entirely RIT's fault. When 490 was built, part of RIT's urban campus was claimed under eminent domain (source). They weren't very pleased about that, especially since some rather essential buildings were claimed. Rather than spread the campus across Rochester (like, say, Boston College does in Boston), they consolidated, moved out of the city, and bought a patch of land that no one wanted for anything so that they wouldn't get kicked out again.

I would also question your logic about RIT causing the suburban sprawl in Rochester. There's no doubt that Rochester's suburban sprawl is a problem, but this source suggests that it's been that way since 1970, a scant 2 years after construction on the new campus started. Also note that suburban sprawl is never directional; it always radiates out from a central point. In this case, Henrietta is just part of a bigger equation. Also note that the town has existed since 1818, and has grown naturally in that time as well as the growth induced by RIT's relocating here.

TL;DR: I actually kinda like it here. Also, some of your accusations are wrong, so learn you some history.

Edit: Removed the following paragraph because I couldn't find a source for it. I know that RIT was built on wetland, but can't confirm that it wasn't also built on farmland:

Also, FYI, RIT was built on undeveloped *wetland, not undeveloped farmland. Is that any greener? Hell no; it's probably worse, considering how endangered wetland environments are , but I just wanted to set the record straight. I think it is important to note, though, that RIT is pretty much hell bent on preserving the remaining wetlands, and there are actually student groups and science classes that have been reclaiming parts of RIT for the wetland environment.*

While this article is for a different university, I feel like this part of it still applies to RIT:

> The key difference are that: > > - Software Engineering has more requirements in ~~electrical engineering and~~ software engineering fundamentals, such as software testing, design, and software requirements specification. (u/TheGuywithTehHat's note: RIT's SE curriculum has almost 0 electrical engineering in it) > - Computer Science allows more electives in higher-level computer science courses. You can choose from a wide range of topics such as security, software engineering fundamentals, computer vision, machine learning, and database management. > > So, which major should you choose? > I think it mostly depends on your preferences. In short: > > - You should choose Computer Science if you like math, logic, or if you want to get into a specialized field in CS such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, security or graphics. > - You should choose Software Engineering if you’re more interested in the hands-on approach, and if you want to learn the overall life cycle of how software is built and maintained.

I have been a part of both majors, so I am happy to elaborate if you have any specific questions.

There's a "RIT" in brick, hidden in the architecture of the back of building 9, which is somewhat obscured by the extension they put on it a bunch of years back.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150202794311641&amp;set=a.10150202793301641.306513.642406640&amp;type=1&amp;theater

The left half of the R is now obscured, but the diagonal bit of the R is still there. The I is set back slightly to the right, then the T is also set back slightly to the right from there. (the I and T are pretty obvious)

We've double the number of RIT participants in the span of ~35 minutes. I've been posting this to pretty much every RIT Facebook group I can find:

Have a DropBox? Sign up for the Space Race ~ A Dropbox competition between Colleges and Universities!

Basically sign in (or sign up for Dropbox), verify your RIT email address and that's it. You get more space (amount dependant on number of students who sign up) for the next two years.

The only RIT housing cleaned by a service of any form is the Inn and I believe it's only every other week. You are responsible for cleaning all other locations. I lived in Global Village for a semester, and honestly there's no great way to organize cleaning. There will always be some slackers who don't clean up after themselves. Just the same, there will always be those who prefer a cleaner standard of living.

To be honest, the reason I was only in Global for a semester was that I had a very unsanitary roommate with poor personal hygiene. I couldn't stand to live with him any more. Also, I felt that one of my roommates and I were the only ones doing the cleaning. A total of 3 of us left Global for cleaner and greener pastures.

For cost splitting I can't recommend Splitwise enough! I used it in Global and continue to use it at my current place (off campus life is the best). Splitwise hooks into a service called Venmo which can be easily used to settle up costs. Venmo doesn't charge a service fee if you directly hook it into a debit card or bank account.

Tails also would be nice.

While this might be a good way to get this fixed, ti would wind up costing us all money in the end (tuition) and we shouldn't have to resort to that to get it fixed.

https://www.dropbox.com/spacerace Go and sign up!

The Details (copied for the lazy)

Rules

• You must register for Space Race with an eligible school email address (if you have an existing Dropbox account you can still join)!
• If you’ve signed up for Dropbox with a non-school email, no problem! You can verify your school account on the Space Race page.
• Your school gets 1 point for each person who registers for Space Race and installs Dropbox on their computer (if they haven’t already).
• Your school gets 2 more points for each person that goes through the Get Started guide (including you!)

Free Space!

• Just by signing up, you get 3 GB for two years.
• Each level your school achieves means more free space. That means the more classmates and friends you rally to Dropbox, the more space every Space Racer at your school gets, up to 25 GB for two years!
• In addition to earning points, you’ll still get the normal 500 MB bonus for each referral.

You’ll have 8 weeks to get as many people as you can from your school signed up for Space Race!

I've had one that wasn't expired that also had the same gross crap; but honestly, so has almost every Starbucks canned coffee I've had (those just have more sugar so it's harder to care).

Just check the reviews on Amazon; https://www.amazon.com/Dunkin-Donuts-coffee-espresso-blend/dp/B07GQHY9QT?th=1

" Expires next month, but already gone bad. Can has solid bits of material in it, like dried milk, ruins the drink." They're probably wrong about it being dried milk; it's probably the pectin, but I'm no food scientist.

It's probably just an unwinnable task to create a shelf stable espresso drink that tastes good, and is feasible.

On the other hand, they might've been fully cognizant of the fact they were handing out expired product. All Dunkin would have to do is clarify that its a 'best by' date, and not a 'expiry' date (nothing in here really goes bad, not even the milk which is likely ultra pasteurized (heating to 280F for a couple seconds before being sealed), and bam, they're only guilty of the awful marketing that is giving out free C-grade versions of their product.

You are actually right on all counts. The current system is not usable, Microsoft Office is not usable, C is especially not usable (hence the recent trend towards more expressive system languages like Go), and assembly does not even attempt to be usable.

Usability doesn't measure the ease of learning to use a product, it measures the ease of using a product without instruction. In other words, we should not need a manual to use the new registration system any more than we need a manual to use an iPad.

You should really read The Design of Everyday Things or at least this summary of it.

oh god...

some time (last year..?) there was a dead raccoon found on the side of the road. someone sat it on a chair and put a go tigers sign in its paws and it just kind of hung out on the side of the road for a while

Hi! My name's Gary and I've been developing Super Daryl Deluxe for about two years now with my friend Dan. We just started up our Kickstarter and would love it if you guys checked it out and spread the word!

Stop watching porn!

Just kidding, don't freak out, you can keep watching porn.

But seriously, download and use ComboFix to get rid of this. I have had this virus before and nearly all antivirus suites will miss it but ComboFix has fixed it every time.

It's a hackathon. Essentially, you have 24 hours to create something really cool (by yourself or in a team). Normally there are prizes and hardware available for you to use, but I don't know if brick hack will have that for sure. If you're interested in programming or messing with electronics/hardware, go.

/u/bammerburn is not wrong, the trail itself, from TL road to the canal path, is literally 1.5 miles and has a segment on strava (1.8 on Gramin).

The current (male) record for it, southbound is 4:03, female is 5:00, my personal is 6:48 at 187/308 riders all time.

As you point out, getting from RIT to U of R is longer, but not knowing where OP is coming to and from on each campus, your number of 4.8, while not incorrect, is literally speculation.

It would be reasonable to cover the longer distance in about 20-25 minutes for most people in any moderate amount of fitness.

If you truly want JFK to RIT, Jet Blue is the obvious choice. Yah, they pretty much suck balls these days, but there's a direct flight between the two (several a day) and they tend to be cheap. Of course there's a good chance they'll have a 98 hour delay, because that's their model these days, a far cry from how it was around 2000-2005.

I've done Amtrak once, and obviously that puts you in to Penn Station circa 32nd and 7th; if you're looking to be in the city, that's not so bad. It's not going to be much cheaper than flying though, and you'll spend ~8 hours with no delays starting at 5:30-6:30am. If you wanna see the scenery on the 5/20 corridor and whatnot, it's not so bad. If you're looking to head up to Connecticut, out to Long Island, etc... not so good.

United flies direct to Newark and is usually pretty cheap, so if you're looking to head out towards Jersey that can be a plus. Also, the Newark Airtrain which ends up in Penn is seemingly less time consuming and annoying than the AirTrain from JFK to Jamaica than the E or the J/Z toward Manhattan (or the LIRR), though I think it might end up costing a bit more, I'd have to check.

I've never taken Greyhound and I think I'd probably rather die than do that. Greyhound is going to run you ~$45 this Wednesday as an example, Amtrak about ~$65, and I'd say the $20 is worth nicer seats and the ability to get up and walk around. Jet Blue is about ~$100 and United to EWR is ~$209. The airline prices are going to be higher because the ticket is 2 days away compared to if you booked it out further. Amtrak and Greyhound are less affected by close in booking.

See also: https://matrix.itasoftware.com/#view-flights:research=ROCNYC A few weeks out, JB, Delta, and United all run $109 to JFK, EWR, and LGA respectively.

Board not displaying correctly of all resolutions of displays ( change your width from pixels to percentages or create media queries to solve this problem, sometimes the display has to be taliored for each resolution, its takes forever to do i know ) Can only drag from top of item ( i don't see how that a problem, but i can tell you that the image is being placed in one div only rather than the three or in other words the picture is only connected to 1/3 of what it covers). Items placed on top of each other will disappear ( i would make an exception for that, so that an image doesn't become an error, and what the image is actually doing is going to (0,0) on the body, so it didn't disappear just when to 0,0 ) Rotate does not rotate hitbox (only for drop) ( double click?, i'm sorry i don't understand this one, the stuff does rotate) Lines are in front of dots ( Might just be a resolution problem? I never managed to make that problem happen to figure what was wrong with it) Print to scale not working ( idk how to solve that one sorry , but using ctrl P /command P can pretty much do the same trick, or just change your button to a href=" javascript:window.print()") Items in box are shown diagonal on some displays ( hmmm idk about this one either i tested for it, and didn't see that happen yet) Item counting needs to be added ( heres a link for that one https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27136662/how-can-count-all-images-on-a-page-with-javascript-including-css-and-img)

Hopefully this advice helps, and good luck!

Hey I appreciate the support! That actually sounds like a brilliant idea...we usually do a big report at the end of the year for the board of trustees, but I sure wouldn't mind making that into a TL;DR list for you guys.

Also, we do keep running list of goals/accomplishments in a google doc throughout the year. All of my senators do as well, and we do our best to update them. If you would like to take a look they're here

If you think of a better way to get these (or future versions of it) out amongst the student body I am all ears. It is something that we admittedly struggle with annually, so I would love to hear new ideas!

There is a large difference between SE and CS. Even if you strongly dislike physics, I still think the high-level difference in program philosophy should be your main deciding factor, due to the large contrast in major-related coursework—especially during your junior and senior years.

While this article is for a different university, I feel like this part of it still applies to RIT:

> The key difference are that: > > - Software Engineering has more requirements in electrical engineering and software engineering fundamentals, such as software testing, design, and software requirements specification. > - Computer Science allows more electives in higher-level computer science courses.

As someone who has majored in both SE and CS, I am happy to elaborate and/or answer questions if you want.

Tablet and Desktop FTW. I had a desktop + laptop my freshman year and had sold the laptop by the time I moved out of the dorms.

Android tablets support bluetooth keyboard + mouse, and a nifty little app called Splashtop HD gives you 30FPS streaming of your desktop. This setup is absolutely magical, and I have had zero issues since I transitioned.

The best thing to do is to deliver it to RIT Public Safety, and they can track down the student to return it. They're located in Grace Watson Hall, Building 25.

You can look up directions here. Their telephone number is (585) 475-2853.

I had never written a chrome extension before and your reply got me pretty interested. I threw this project together since my python code already had the complicated stuff figured out. I don't plan on developing it too much since I already graduated form RIT. I figured I would publish the code incase you or someone else wanted to work on it or a similar project.

I could be wrong, and I might (at least that post didn't get downvoted.)

I was going based on my assumption that NCAA Division Sports on campus is intercollegiate and that club sports on campus aka Quidditch, Paintball, Dodgeball is collegiate

Thanks Bradnon.

Edit 1: and that post wasn't an insult, people are too sensitive. Adding to the list to other "COLLEGIATE SPORTS": Football, HVZ, Ultimate Frisbee, Longboarding, .... I'm sorry if I've missed any.

At the end of last year, he was giving insane offers on the rest of the cookies he had baked (I guess he was finishing off his ingredients). My roommate and I ended up getting like, 50 cookies and huge bags of his frosting. It was delicious.

On a side note, he's actually still shipping orders of cookies. Albeit at a higher price.

I think it's awesome I have the 38th makerbot ever built. The new ones are a ton better and well worth the price. pm me if you want to know more :) Edit: it's also awesome to just browse http://www.thingiverse.com/ and print everything lol

Any way you could start mirroring DragonFlyBSD? I've been following it from it's inception and contributing here and their. It's a great, very performant operating system that grows leaps and bounds with every release. Most of their mirrors are subpar and I think they could really use a awesome mirror like mirrors.rit.edu. I know of at least one RIT alum that contributes to the project also.

http://www.dragonflybsd.org/

Besides that, I love the project and use it all the time for Arch updates. Thanks!

Safe mode dat shizz. And then combofix it. It could be that, as said, it's another version of the virus that has added safe guards in it to prevent removal. Safe mode should help with restraining the virus'(s?) ability to do things while combofix is running.

Make sure it is the most up to date version of combofix from: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/combofix

And that you're not somehow getting some fake version of it.. which if you're using google to search for it, can potentially happen due to the nature of the virus.

BS/MS EE student here, 3.4 GPA is all that is required . You'll get an email sometime around October of your second year semester inviting you into the program. The information session will be sometime in mid November. Essentially there's 7 different options. Here's the information packet that we were given.. You can use VirusTotal or some sort of link virus scan if you're worried about the link. If you want I can just pm you a google drive link if you feel safer that way. Overall, I'll be starting the grad classes next semester, I would suggest just doing no option going into EE and then picking a focus area once you get into the grad classes. If you have any more questions you can pm me or just keep the discussion going here.

1) You can get the book and/or the access code from Barnes and Noble. You can either walk over there and pick them up yourself or order it online and have it delivered to the dorm post office.

If you go into SIS -> My Class Schedule -> Buy my books will bring you a nice list of books to buy. (Hint: You can probably find some online / other websites for cheaper)

2) You can always email the prof or just talk to them on Wednesday. Missing a class during add/drop week isn't the end of the world but don't expect the professor to repeat everything they already went over again.

3) As for any class pay attention and take notes that work for you. Mr. Butler is a nice guy and his class isn't too challenging.

4) Probably going to be a very small (if at all) part of your grade. You'll be fine.

5) ???

6) I use Google Keep to keep track of what I need to do and when things are due in a checklist. Otherwise Google Calendar / a planner / iCal are all options.

*) Welcome to College. Its a fast paced world out there but you'll get the hang of it.

Especially BNW+BNW Revisited. It's literally a $12 book on Amazon and a $15 book at B&N. Frankenstein is similarly in the range of $5 to $10 at any reasonable store.

OP, your books are probably collectively worth $50 in used condition, not $50 each. You should try looking up the prices at places that aren't a fucking scam before you attempt to list ridiculous prices.

I assure you it is not shopped. the difference in our results could be a result of how google filters things differently for each person. as explained in this TED talk.

Way to be 6 hours early duka... &#3232;_&#3232;

ANYWAYS:

ALL PAINT MUST BE PURCHASED FROM N'vasion Paintball.

Extra Paint will be available at N'vasion Paintball: $10 = 200 paintballs
$20 = 500 paintballs
$60 = 2000 paintballs

Open Play also starts at Noon so if you wish to stay after the event and keep playing it will cost you nothing extra (Except whatever extra paint you need to buy, obviously)

EDIT: Feel free to PM me with any questions or ask them on the facebook group. I actually do nothing at work so I'll probably respond within the hour.

It's by no means complete, I'll be making a few more wines before I actually present, as well as maybe performing some Freeze Distillation. I also put some notes in the speaker note section, so turn those on to see the full presentation.

As far as I know vinting for personal use under a certain amount of gallons is perfectly legal in New York state, and probably allowed in non-dorm housing. Consult your local statutes before doing anything.

I also have an itemized list of what I purchased and how much it cost, for those interested.

I've tasted both the apple cider (It was a little to dry for my taste, but a pretty decent cider overall), and the orange wine (Surprisingly good, tasted like a mimosa), and they both turned out better than expected considering the ingredients.

I've got a Frigidaire FRA073PU1 portable air conditioner that I'm looking to get rid of... I moved to a place that has central air. The unit is in 100% working, like-new condition and has the original GFCI plug on the end (which RIT requires, iirc).

I'm asking for $200 including delivery on/near campus.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I bought it last spring, so it's only been used for ~4 months.

You should just know it, it's not like there's a master list. There's a couple rules for different places, but beyond that it's like anything else.

If you're in UC /u/RIT_Ambulance wrote a really nice post a few days ago.

this post made me so happy. I started using them a lot more recently, hence the survey, but yeah I am more of an experimenter type with my food. Same goes for Avocados. I will try this next: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/filipino-avocado-milkshake/

I think that number is bigger than you think it is. I'm sure you remember #shirtgate? In case you don't, https://www.quora.com/Rosetta-Mission-Landing-on-a-Comet-November-2014/Is-the-Verge-right-that-comet-landing-scientist-Matt-Taylors-problematic-shirt-drives-women-from-pursuing-science

Do you have a 3 model B? If you're into retro gaming, a this is a fun one.

I have one myself with over 100 oldies-but-goodies. Even the N64 games work, but they take some extra configging.

I've had success looking up profs on RateMyProfessor. You just have to ignore the reviews from super salty students who failed classes and are out for revenge.

I'm taking FA 301 with William Evans, Great guy, makes the class interesting and tries to joke around to prevent you from becoming to bored. I would highly recommend him.

Those cards aren't brand new, they're used... Cards bought from the used section of Amazon don't apply for warranty, since you're buying it through Amazon, not from them. The cards listed there are most likely second hand, which are not covered under EVGA's warranty.

If if a buyer feels it should be lower, they can offer a lower price; as I said in the OP, I'm willing to negotiate.

To my knowledge, the only computer labs on campus with BBEdit are in GCCIS.

I'm not sure which features in BBEdit your professor wants you to use, but perhaps TextWrangler will work as "BBEdit is TextWrangler’s elder sibling."

I guess I don't really care if someone steals my idea, because I really just wish this service existed.

I've been working on & off on a webapp that tracks your podcasts for you, let's you know when you have new episodes and let's you listen in browser, pause and then resume listening on another computer.

You can checkout the code: https://github.com/bgianfo/pod-tracker Right now it's written in python, using the flask web framework and MongoDB as the data store. The audio management, playing/downloading in browser is handled by the sound manager 2 library. It supports HTML5 audio playback, but falls back on flash when the browser doesn't support HTML5 audio.

I always setup a bunch of podcasts to listen to at work, and then the same podcasts I listen to at home. But I have no way to sync what episodes I have listened to across computers. Or if I started a podcast right before I leave for the night, I don't know how far I got when I get home. It's kind of a really specific use case, but I wish it existed at least twice a week.

You know, now that I think of it I could be wrong. Maybe the only setting that's configured is Password History... I'll have to try and change my password on Monday. I'm probably just making shit up. :D

CS541/641 for C++

Mechanics or systems programming or OS for C.

Be sure if it's more C or C++ that you want since after C++11, C++ has become a very different language.

All these classes are always waitlisted and you might not get into any of them for spring. If you want to work through C at a lower level then I'd suggest for you to get an intro C book(not K&R C please, C has matured a bit since then) and Computer Systems: A Programmers Perspective for applying C at lower levels and a fast primer to x86 assembly, I'd suggest going through CMU's CS15-213 course or Stanford's CS107, the latter has more open content than CMU.

For C++ just start off with C++ Primer and go on because it will be a long ass journey.

Definitely read the textbook as others have stated. Some other books that I would recommend are Head First C and The C Programming Language. I used the former to learn C for fun before I took CS 243 and the latter is a good reference. Also the projects are very time consuming (assuming CS 243 still does projects) so don't wait til the last minute. Feel free to PM me if need help with future assignments.

I didn't mean to knock your experience. What I was trying to say was there is much much more to learn beyond application development, which is most likely what you've been doing so far. I may be assuming incorrectly, but from everything you've said, you sound a lot like how I was when I was a freshman.

If you want to stretch your problem solving skills, go to Project Euler or something similar and start doing problems of increasing difficulty until you get to ones that challenge you.

If you want to start learning more about the theory of Computer Science, I recommend either How To Design Programs or Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. Both are available online for free, and both will introduce you to the language of Scheme, which you'll find quite a bit different than the languages you've used so far. Scheme is what is called a functional language, which means that instead of focusing on modifying the state of the computer (changing variable values, etc.) it is focused on writing functions that take in arguments and return a value (think mathematical functions).

Another good functional language is Haskell, which has a prettier if more obscure syntax, and a strong type system (think Python/JS vs. C++ types). The best resource for learning Haskell I've found is Learn You a Haskell for Great Good, which is also available online for free. It also covers some very interesting CS topics which will probably blow your mind.

If you find yourself struggling with any of this, don't worry, that's why they pay the professors instead of just handing you books ;) If not, then you've definitely got a knack for CS and should do well here, but remember that this is only 1st and 2nd year material and you will still learn something in your time here.

Check out Accelerated C++ (book) for a good beginners guide. Also consider C++ Primer (NOT C++ PRIMER PLUS. C++ PRIMER PLUS IS CRAP COMPARED TO C++ PRIMER), but it is a lot longer (200pgs vs 800pgs)

Also my bad, it's 60Hz not 75.

I’m hard of hearing and this one wakes me up every time

Super Loud Alarm Clock with Bed... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BCKHVG5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Put the vibrating base under the bed, it’ll vibrate the whole bed frame and you’ll feel it. I used to put it under the pillow but it wasn’t as strong as direct bed frame contact

It’s also very loud

Sweeeet, somebody from Ithaca made this for a Christmas party I went to when I was home. He gave me the recipe in person but I couldn't remember the details. Thanks for posting!

As compensation I offer my Google Docs Recipe Collection for everyone to view: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-G1UJ7iSSNQZDI5MjZmMmYtZGM3Zi00OTEzLTliZDktMmQyZmZkZWEzMDk2.

It should grow larger as I prepare to leave school and digitize all the recipies from my apartment for safe keeping.

Not sure about the hall of fame -but these guys are quite notable and both have been to campus recently:

Tristan O' Tierney; GCCIS '08; Co founder of Square @Tristan

Scott Wilson Industrial Design '91; founder MNML; also had major success on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1104350651/tiktok-lunatik-multi-touch-watch-kits

Love this site for picking parts. It does the work of trying to match parts up. It also finds the best prices on the webs. Newegg isn't always the cheapest(as in 1% of the time), but if you want superb customer service and quality of service, you should probably do all your shopping there.

From here (first answer) I was able to kill my running tmux processes.

• type 'tmux list-sessions'
• type 'tmux attach' if you have any existing sessions
• in tmux now, after attaching, type 'exit' to kill the processes.

Wasn't that hard after a quick google! For some reason, I thought I tried listing the sessions before and nothing would print out (even though I knew there were sessions running still). Mhm, good to know now.

More data stuff.

• CSV merge script for scraper above: Python Script
• Graphs Here (Updated when I have time)

It seems like most people are saying I should, but I would definitely change cases because my current one is just too big and way too heavy.

Move to Chattanooga, TN. The power company there has fiber optic to all users in their provider area, so you can choose to have it or not.

Which, it is as fast as the RIT network, if not faster.

The ride to Lake Ontario was one of my favorite to do when I was living in Rochester. Be careful riding around the mall if you have the urge, I've nearly been hit by cars in intersections when I had the right of way more times than I can count! Stick to trails/sidewalks when you can I found the drivers in the region to be pretty bad about giving enough space on the road plus the snow damage on the roads can be pretty bad if you don't have a suspension. If you have an off-road bike the woods around and near campus can be a ton of fun just not when people are around... also campos may hassle you.

I don't live anywhere near Rochester anymore... but wish I had known about Dryer Road Park a lot earlier than I actually did...

It's a small little hill with a lot of good trails. There's no lift or anything like that, so you will have to be prepared for some climbing, but there's some good single-track there. Good way to burn an afternoon, and did I mention it's totally free?. Just show up and ride... :)

Only ~30 minutes from RIT by car. Google Maps

I'm moving in on the 30th since I have some appointments on the 29th and can't move in early, but my friends should be there before me. If you've got a Facebook, hit me up there: Facebook just put in the message you're from RIT!

I also was going to get an apartment, but they said they might be able to place us in one soon depending on who shows ups, so I figured I might as well suck it up and hangout and have fun in the pool, etc.

That's what everyone thought at first, which is why I ordered the computer. Unfortunately that doesn't always solve the problem. :(

Anandtech has reported that since the Max IOPS edition uses smaller capacity 35 nm chips, it completely populates the IO channels of the Sandforce controller.

Either would do fine for testing, of course.

They seem like good professors, but I can't speak from experience. I looked at the RMP pages for Franklin and Hane.

I will be in the afternoon section this fall.

Yeah, exactly that. Every October (the month I usually applied for internships) I would do one coding challenge per day from https://www.hackerrank.com/ and that was enough to get through the coding exams for most jobs. (Except Amazon and Match.com for some reason. Those were very hard for me, but I think a CS student would've managed them)

a. Study the type of interview questions that these companies ask] They aren't very relevant to your school work or your job, but for some reason that's how the system is. You probably aren't going to understand the questions or answers until the end of your first or second year in school. Perhaps the closest class that will prepare you is Analysis of Algorithms, but you don't take that until your second year at earliest.

b. Attend on campus networking events (whenever on campus recruiting resumes) and bring multiple copies of your resume. It helps a lot to put a face to your resume, it allows you to speak directly to recruiters and engineers, and it shows you give a damn.

c. Gain work experience wherever possible. It is easier to catch a recruiter's attention when you already have work experience compared to someone who has not worked a software engineering internship ever.

d. Know people. And prove your work ethic in class. I've referred classmates who I've worked with in school because I could vouch for their ability and work ethic, but I've also said no to classmates who had the balls to ask for referrals despite flaking on every group project meeting when we worked together.

e. Apply. Duh.

>I just feel like ending myself.

Please don't! I'm going to reiterate what /u/oreosfly said, you should definitely talk to CaPs if this is such a strong problem that you can't start homework and have such frequent intrusive thoughts. Lots of people came to work specifically at RIT to help students like you. https://www.rit.edu/counseling/get-support

If you feel uncomfortable going to caps right away, I would strongly recommend this book which has helped me with my intrusive thoughts and anxiety in general.

I used this modem with my connection for a while and I never had an issue. Pricey, but I was also able to sell it on CL once I was done with TW for more then I paid on ebay. Worked out perfect.

edit: but I should mention that it took a few calls to tech support before they would reg my MAC, had to get an english speaking tech agent here in Roc before they understand what I wanted to do. After that it was great.

All of the professors that were on RMP are linked in the table. The main page for RIT is here.

I've also had professors that sucked really bad, and had I visited that site I would have never taken their class. This professor was so bad I was actually impressed with how much he pushed the boundaries of being a terrible professor.

Maybe its just a summer thing, but I was under the impression that the only bus that goes from downtown to RIT and vice-versa is the late night bus. Is this not the case?

I'm from Cali myself and I spent the summer in Rochester while on co-op. I found an apartment through AirBnB - if you can't find anything on-campus maybe you'll luck out and find something through them? Worst case, you can do an 11-ish week stint and hopefully by the time that winter quarter starts up, something will have opened up on-campus.

Either way, best of luck.

I would somewhat agree that RIT seems to be doing little in terms of help. I read that youre seeing a therapist weekly, so thats great. I hope things are better for you soon. I have gone through crippling amounts of debt to getting a job that paid it back, to going back again. So you never know how its going to turn out. We are all here for you. If you need somebody to talk to, im it. I also play catan a lot at colonist.io so if youre interested, maybe we could play.

Use fastboot. adb reboot-bootloader and then boot into a custom recovery using fastboot boot /FILEPATH/. That should get you into a recovery mode where the adb backup will work. Try using twrp. Feel free to DM me if you need anymore help.

I'm not sure what you're struggling with but Ableton's website recently added some amazing tutorials which might be worth checking out -> https://learningmusic.ableton.com/

If you want to get used to the interface -> https://www.ableton.com/en/live/learn-live/interface/

I hope this helps!

I 100&#37; agree with you, I wanted to LEARN and to see MY mistakes, good or bad marks meant nothing for me. Talking about reasons why students simply copy and paste, may be that happens because of lack of time, constant fatigue? I am not trying to justify them, no! I just remember myself being a freshman, I was always exhausted, couldn't manage with all of my duties. I just wonder, why they even don't try to hide this lol, I mean synonyms, paraphrase, words' order changing could hide the fact of plagiarism rather effectively. As for the plagiarism checkers, there are lots of really decent tools , no need to google paragraphs anymore, just insert a part of a text (or a whole text) in one of them and see the result.

If I had the tools I would help you out, but I don't so I can't. If you buy the rgiht screwdrivers (particularly the t6 torz) and you need help I wouldn't mind swinging by and giving you a hand.

This by the way is the guide your probably want to use. It has a tools list too if you actually wanna buy those weird screwdrivers

CG can be pretty easy. The thing to watch out for is that there's a good bit of matrix math, which you don't have to be stellar at, but knowledge of it will help a lot.

I did my projects in C using SDL, which is more modern and much better-supported than, e.g. GLUT. However, language choice isn't a huge problem.

I'd like to recommend anyone who sees this to try out Dark Reader. It lets you have dark theme on any website. You can customize how they look and whether its enabled on a website by website basis. Extremely useful, big shoutout to u/lordtet for showing it to me!

in exchange i offer a download of machine elements in design: http://www.4shared.com/office/VTUGlJYN/machine_elements_in_mechanical.html (if that link doesn't work for some reason pm me, i'll send a dropbox link if you promise not to share it)

Just so you're aware, there are ways that you can use google drive and maintain an ideological disagreement with using it. Just use an encrypted container within it! rclone is a fantastic piece of software that lets you do that. Google Drive Ocamlfuse is another tool that lets you mount the google drive locally. From there you can do whatever kind of encryption you desire.

There are many professors who could help you with this but most of them probably dont know you. I would talk to one of your professors. You can use google code to host the svn of your project.

There's tons of great sites to learn AngularJS on.

A few of my favorite are: https://egghead.io/ http://www.thinkster.io/ And a few more I can't remember off the top of my head, but Google is your friend! If you don't know any JavaScript in general, I suggest looking at Khan Academy or Codecademy for a lot of great starter tutorials before learning Angular, but again, I don't know how much you know already.

Bootstrap or Foundation, and others, or just build your own grid system that more suits your needs. jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile, imo, are too outdated in terms of look and feel.

This is the reason you got down voted though. There is a separate sub for a reason, the community didn't want FS posts in the normal sub.

Best of luck on renting.

This is a spoodle. It’s a pretty standard piece of restaurant kitchen equipment. Makes spreading pizza sauce very easy.

Order of priority: 1) Your Health and Safety 2) Your coursework 3) Your student Employment 4) Social Activities, etc.

If your student employment is too much of a strain, don't hesitate to notify your manager and see if you can reduce your hours or drop a shift. Your personal well-being and coursework comes first. Most managers know that, and if yours does not, you probably don't want to be working for them.

Now that my lecture is over, to keep organized, I use google calendar for my course + work schedule. For individual assignments I've recently adopted an agenda app. Between those two I'm doing better at gauging time frames I need to work on things. Even though you say you have trouble with weekends, I would recommend still trying to allocate some time to get work done. Friday evening and Saturday I am useless. But Sunday evenings is my crunch work time, and I use the dread of the oncoming week to do it.

I have a HP Spectre x360 13' that's right on the border of 1k. (I got mine renewed on amazon and it was in fantastic condition, but ymmv). The older models have some issues but the new ones are fantastic. Great performance, battery life, looks slick af.

What year is it???

More seriously, you can buy an external burner for less than 30 bucks nowadays...

Amazon example

Yes! I have these and they're really good for the low cost. They do have wires that get annoying, but for $28, I can deal with it. I've had mine for 3 years now and they're just starting to degrade a bit and I'm thinking about getting another pair. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NG57H4S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
