For anyone who's completed a CS degree, how much studying did you do per night. I understand working on projects etc can eat up hours but I don't really include that.
Back at college just now and starting university in Sept. I had never studied in my life until college (coasted of natural ability all my life) and I'm finding it difficult to even spend 1hr a night. (Average mark currently is 80%) 5hrs per night seems insane to me.
When studying I either understand the concept fully and fire through it rapid. Don't understand it and spend ages figuring it out/trying to find answers online. Or have no idea, can't find anything in the textbooks/online and resort to crying in the corner.
I barely put any time into my CS degree and I recommend everyone to do the same if given the opportunity. I studied for ~4-8hrs a week at home, and had ~16-24 hours worth of lectures, and I still graduated with a GPA of 3. The Dutch college system encourages cutting corners, so I did (along with most of the other students). Most of my college time was spent drinking and doing stuff with my fraternity, and I loved every second of it. I haven't worked a day in those 5 years either, just loaned a bit more money. I am of the opinion that if you get the chance to enjoy life like this, you should fully take it. You have more than enough time to live seriously after you graduate.
You have to relearn almost everything they teach you on your first job anyway. The contents of the courses were always horribly outdated, the only things I really needed were general programming skills, research methods and project management lingo.
They usually say at least three hours study for each hour of class, I used that as my guide
> difficult to even spend 1 hour a night
The more abstract and mathematical the class, the longer I know it will last and I can use it. The more specific classes like learning C++ were immediately useful.
That said, I did have to kick myself to memorize dozens of species of fungi and their attributes for my science requirement class.
You never know what will come in useful. English writing class seems like BS? Not if it teaches you to write documentation, e-mails etc. better.
> can't find anything
I've been there too. It makes me skeptical of these people who say Coursera etc. will destroy colleges. I can always ask my professor after class or during office hours.
You're going to be rooting around in your work life as well, so aside from the class material, you're exercising this skill as well.

That would put me at 18hrs of studying a day :/
Due to years of posting nonsense online, English is easy for me (top of the class). Not looking forward to my 2 science requirements though as thats where I struggle to concentrate.
I believe they meant three hours per week for each hour of class. So if you have 6 courses, each with three hours of lecture a week, you'd spend 3x3x6=54 hours a week. That's still pretty rough but that's what happens if you need to study hard for 6 classes.
35/mo is pricey but nothing compared to cable prices.
I will be interested to see what channels this will offer in the UK. If it offers all existing freeview channels + some premium ones I can see a lot of people cutting the cord.
Set my VPN to LA but still can't get in even in incognito. Not sure how it's determining location. As I have other location tracking blocked.
1 in 30 pound coins is fake. If you have a handful of smash and examine the pound coins you can usually find at least 1 fake one. Counterfeiters made millions before anyone caught on
I wonder how they are not even busy explaining how this could happen with all that surveillance already in place. I mean no camera jumped down the pole to stop the car...
There is a way to suspect someone may at some point, which is what the UK security apparatus is aiming for but this kind of profiling will end up being a psychological analysis of whole groups of the population. The results won't be great for any of us.
Voats model is good but filled with angry men (and the people on fatpeoplehate seem to be mainly women from what I've read). We need a max exodus from Reddit to even the odds
My understanding is that "listening" to communication between Trump and a foreign national would not require a FISA warrant. I say "listening" because, I believe, all communications with foreign nationals are recorded but only some are actually listened to by actual people.
