Youtube isn't perfect but the facebook video player is terrible.

I think this is something worth showing in your class

Yes, kfranc is the only undergraduate student teaching CS88S. Other students teach other 88 courses. For example, I'm a neuro student, and if I wanted to teach a class on some topic then it would be NS88S.

All courses at ucla that are taught by undergrads are 88S courses, just happens to be that way interestingly

UCLA creates gmail accounts for all students (if they don't already have one) so using Google products is standard. A lot of people are hating on him for using Google stuff, but not all of these decisions are up to him, he has to get them approved and Google is (unfortunately) pretty standard here

You can also check out the class schedule listed at UCLA's class listing.

Any advice at all?

Advice for first hackathon

Posted by cgarduno1 on Monday March 27, 2017 @05:50AM
from the self-post dept.

I'll be going to LA hacks for the first time. I know some C++, Python, R, and Matlab, and I've dabbled with web programming as well as some machine learning but I'm not sure what I should be expecting at a hackathon. I just want to make sure I'm prepared to have a good time and not just be frustrated the whole time. What advice do any of you have and what do you think would be good to brush up...

I see. Well this is useful to know so thank you both! It still concerns me because I have some friends who have had their devices stolen with sensitive information and as I try and learn more about computing it's becoming clearer to me that everyone should encrypt EVERYTHING that is sensitive. Thanks to the both of you!

Then what is the point of having a password on your machine if anyone can access your files? On university campuses there are numerous laptop thefts every year and it seems like there should be some sort of protection against this. Why not request the password through the terminal?
Re:Potential Macbook Security Flaw on Monday March 13, 2017 @05:11PM (#13862425)
This is primarily a concern regarding the average Macbook user that would not know to encrypt their data and only uses the standard OSX user password.

I found this issue a while back on Macbooks. I'll update my github soon with more details and some images to demonstrate the process. I read this post and I figured I could whip something together and see what people think.
