At 0:47 the video clearly shows three fingers on the "top" part of the egg. At 0:58 the ping pong ball exercise clearly shows three fingers on the top part. The break at 1:08 also has three fingers on the top. But then for some reason at 1:12 the performer switches to two fingers above the break. The double break at 1:33 also shows two fingers above the crack.
Some of the egg breaks in the video pull the halves away from each other and other breaks use a slide or shearing/transpose movement to create gaps between the halves.
There is nothing in the video about how close to hold the egg to the palm of your hand. With the dozen or so eggs I tried the key was (counter-intuitively) to hold the egg close to your palm so that the pads on your palm act as a fulcrum as you try to pull the halves apart. If you just hold the egg with the tips of your fingers its difficult to create the necessary space. But maybe that's just me and my lack of dexterity.
I guess instead of complaining I should create my own video.
How did you prompt Copilot to identify issues? In my experience the best I can do is to put in code comments of what what I want a snippet to do and copilot tries to write it. I haven't had good luck asking copilot to rewrite existing code. Nearest I've gotten is:
// method2 is identical to method1 except it fixes the bugs
public void method2(){
I roast my own coffee beans. I usually get decaf SWP beans from Sweet Marias. https://www.sweetmarias.com/green-coffee/decaf.html
The decaf SWP beans start out a different color of green bordering on tan compared to the light green of regular "green" coffee beans. Its not just the starting color, they roast differently too. Coffee beans crack during roasting - there is a first crack and then if you want it dark there is a second crack. The sound is usually pronounced. With the SWP beans the crack sound is more of a poof. Apparently SWP changes the structure of the beans, possibly introducing cracks or holes. The roasted beans seem drier and duller brown in color, less mahogany, less shiny. Its hard to know what the flavor impact of SWP was b/c I haven't tried the same beans before they were made decaf. It could just be my own prejudice or lack of skill in roasting but I would say on average the decaf coffee turns out 5-10% worse in quality.
Not sure I agree about the 4G/5G comment. I got an unlimited 4g/5g hotspot through Calyx Institute that uses the TMobile network ( https://calyxinstitute.org/membership/internet ). I now also have Starlink. The Starlink service is faster and lower latency. I have noticed Starlink getting slower over the past couple months but it is still quite fast. In my experience the downside to Starlink is that several times a week it drops out completely for 10-20 seconds. I thought I was going to have issues with the trees near the location of my antenna but the app shows almost 0 obstruction in the FOV Starlink cares about. It was surprising to me how far north the antenna wants to point. I was picturing it pointing south like a dish would for a geo satellite but Starlink aren't geo.
I've also been a customer of two different local wireless point-to-point ISP. One worked great when it wasn't foggy and when the trees didn't have leaves - so only about 1/4 of the year. The other had 800ms pings and also went down frequently. Starlink has been game changing.
I completed the program in 2018. I'm glad I did. It was a tremendous amount of work and I was already working full time with a lengthy commute and family commitments. Pretty much every minute of my weekends and 10pm-12pm most week nights. I had to do maybe 3 all-nighters when schedules didn't line up. Some of the classes are much harder than others and should be taken by themselves. Other classes are less demanding and you can 2x or 3x. The video lectures tend to be very well made. Some of the classes make extensive use of Piazza - which I grew to loath. The assignments can be challenging but also sort of fun. Each class is different though. You're welcome to email me at gmail or yahoo if you have specific questions.
I also completed the program. Some classes did better at feedback than others. But honestly, whats so bad about getting feedback from teaching assistants? The TA for Reinforcement Learning wrote the book Grokking Deep Reinforcement Learning and has experience using RL in industry. If that is the worst they can say about OMSCS its sort of a pretty big endorsement.
