a class a few years ahead of me got one of the ezh2os as their senior gift. probably the most used senior gift I’ve ever seen, we were a small school and everyone used it every day. I think it hit 500,000 uses by the time I graduated a few years later

definitely was not expecting an all sleep token too 5 song but that’s the band me and my partner tend to listen to the most together so it makes sense

I completely agree. I work in IT, a lot of times I can see that people have taken the exact actions I would, just with no success, until I do it. I always say that it’s like the boss walking in a room and suddenly everyone stops misbehaving.

an entire section on race conditions I see

don’t get discouraged. sorting algorithms occur frequently in interviews, and yes you use them a decent amount (especially in languages without built in sorts like c) but they are one of the harder things to visualize in terms of how they work. I’d say avoid anything recursive for now until you can get selection and insertion down pat. check out geeksforgeeks articles on them, but also don’t be afraid to Google willy nilly, you’ll find the resource that makes it click eventually.

in terms of efficiency, it does become a little more difficult to grasp without some math background. big o is known as asymptomatic notation, and describes how a function grows. for example, if you graph f1(x)=15log(x) and f2(x)=x, you’ll notice that if x is bigger than 19, then f2(x) always has a higher output value than f1(x). in computer science terms, we’d say f1 is O(log(n)), meaning it has logarithmic growth, and f2 is O(n), or linear growth. the formal definition of big o is that f(x) is O(g(x)), if and only if (sometimes abbreviated as iff) there exists constants N and C such that |f(x)| <= C|g(x)| for all x>N. in our example, we can say that C = 1, and N>19, so that fulfills definition as |15log(x)| <= 1|x| whenever x>19. therefore, f1(x) is O(f2(x)). apologies for just throwing numbers at you, (or if you’ve heard all this before) but having even just the most basic grasp of the math is gonna help a lot. again, in terms of best resources, geeksforgeeks is always great and googling can help you find thousands of more resources. trust that you are not the first person to have trouble with these and most people before you have asked online about it as well.

I also highly reccomend grabbing a copy of discrete mathematics and it’s applications by Kenneth Rosen to dig farther into the math. there’s a few other types of asymptomatic notation such os big omega and big theta, even little o, that I didn’t mention here but are useful for comparing functions in slightly different ways. it’s a big book but it starts at the bottom and is generally pretty well written and well laid out.

feel free to dm me if you have questions, I’m always down to talk math and comp sci.

edit: in our example, we could also pick c =19 and n = 1, or probably a few other combinations as well. as long as it fills the definition it’s correct.

a kilo of cocaine would probably run ya like 50k depending on where you are lol

for me it was logging into the router webpage, getting my parents mac and ip addresses, and cloning them after they turned off their devices and my Internet for the night lol

is judging people based on what others have done not the whole point of Catholicism?

how many uggga duggas do you think it’s rated for

depends on the part of America. in some rural areas no but in the city absolutely

real actually. definitely one of the most memorable progress bars. well, that and the bios update progress bar

such a great show. thats one of the few shows set on an alien planet that truly feels unnervingly alien

“fix for real this time”

battery replacements usually run around 60-90 at my shop depending on the device, if I ever walked in to a shop and heard 200$ I’d walk tf out that’s insane pricing.

you can absolutely do it yourself. be prepared and get the right tools, look up many many guides and videos before you start, but I honestly think it’s doable for someone whose never opened a phone. those batteries are an absolute pain in the ass to remove, but as long as it’s discharged below 20% you really don’t have to worry about it it catching fire or anything catastrophic like you’re lead to believe (just be careful ofc and wear PPE)

tf you talking about? the engineer engineers the solution and the developer develops it

that does sound super nice. I’ll prob give it a go sometime soon, thanks!

is it still worth getting into? it seems like something I’d like but I’ve never played it before and don’t have crazy amounts of time like I used to. should I still give it a go?

yeah it sucks. here’s a decent little writeup on it https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/11/180698/jesse-lacey-brand-new-sexual-misconduct

great album, wish the lead singer wasn’t a predator so I could listen to it shame free
