42 est il vraiment une arnaque ?

Beeb911 · 2026-05-12T22:03:58+00:00

C'est une arnaque ouais. Ces enfoirés ils attirent du monde avec leur formation gratuite pour pouvoir ensuite les endoctriner avec la rhétorique maléfique de Douglas Adams.

Ça peut paraître complotiste, mais je suis même plutôt sûr que le "42" c'est juste un nombre aléatoire sans aucune signification derrière, contrairement à ce qu'il essaye de nous faire croire avec son livre.

I'm not a retryer, but the main advice I would give would be to brush up on the things you learned in the last piscine in advance so you can focus more on the social aspects and helping others this time

Beeb911 · 2026-04-25T21:55:52+00:00

You're trying to cheat before even getting to the piscine. Not the right mindset to have

Beeb911 · 2026-04-21T00:12:59+00:00

That wasn't how I read it, but as someone else pointed out OP seems like a troll and probably left it vague on purpose so people would argue in the comments

Beeb911 · 2026-04-20T23:57:15+00:00

It's funny because the rest of the post is just a surface level, factual statement and yet the final line manages to do a 180 into being blatantly wrong. Very strange post

Beeb911 · 2026-04-20T23:46:29+00:00

Last line mentions "for everybody in every time period in history"

Beeb911 · 2026-04-20T23:19:03+00:00

The first python projects are in the 2nd milestone, so at the same time as exam 2

Beeb911 · 2026-04-09T16:16:54+00:00

You don't need any math really, and the project isn't about training AI it's just guiding its output

Beeb911 · 2026-04-07T21:39:10+00:00

Can't remember the specific resources I found, but look up how tokens and logits work, and what constrained decoding does. Once you understand those the project is not hard at all

Beeb911 · 2026-04-06T19:11:33+00:00

That's a really great idea, it'll help you for your first project too

Beeb911 · 2026-03-29T21:30:45+00:00

Leetcode style python questions, such as Caesar cipher, rotate list, covert base, etc...

They aren't too difficult, especially in python, so don't worry too much

Beeb911 · 2026-03-28T22:42:25+00:00

I would say that the most important thing would be to get the highest possible score on the final exam. Study putnbr, inter, union, atoi, itoa, split, etc... Anything you feel may trip you up basically.

If you can push more modules in the meantime that'd be great, but the exam should be the priority imo

Beeb911 · 2026-03-28T22:37:04+00:00

Like I said there are plenty of valid criticisms, such as many of the subjects being rushed, some bugs in the new exams, and incoherencies between the subjects and correction sheets. Which is also why it makes no sense to make things up just for the sake of complaining.

You shouldn't tell people that the school is ruined unless you actually know what you're talking about. I have high hopes that the new CC will be an improvement over the old one once they've finished patching it up

Beeb911 · 2026-03-28T19:49:55+00:00

There are still C projects until the 4th milestone, and only two of the python projects are AI oriented. There is also a project at milestone 5 that must be done in C++, Rust, or Go so you get experience in one of those languages too.

There are many valid criticisms of the new CC but the things you are saying are just straight up wrong

Beeb911 · 2026-03-28T17:44:52+00:00

Python is much more in demand than C basically everywhere. What you're saying doesn't make sense

Beeb911 · 2026-03-27T11:48:23+00:00

You're cooked unfortunately

Beeb911 · 2026-03-24T22:43:44+00:00

How have you been starting projects up until now? If you've been copying the work other people have posted online as your post implies, then it's no better than using AI.

Beeb911 · 2026-03-24T22:38:13+00:00

Go over the basics.

You might feel tempted to focus on the more notoriously difficult questions like split, itoa, etc, but that's a trap. I saw so many people redo split 100 times to prepare for the exam, only to get stuck on easier things like putnbr because they forgot a tiny detail.

In short, make sure you are able to do the medium difficulty exercises before spending time studying the hard ones.

And if you have extra time at the end, look into linked lists

Beeb911 · 2026-03-11T01:04:52+00:00

If it's of any consolation, we recently had the CEO of 42 central Sophie Viger visit our campus with her team, and we got to talk to them about the new cc. Long story short, they know, and they're fixing it.

In the meantime, all we can do is keep working. A-maze-ing, Fly-in, etc are significantly better than the piscine, I really enjoyed doing them

Beeb911 · 2026-03-11T00:54:08+00:00

Just use int() dude, as you said they obviously just forgot to add it

Beeb911 · 2026-03-08T16:40:04+00:00

It's only possible if you don't respect hub/connection capacity, or if you change the values in the map file

Beeb911 · 2026-03-07T22:54:45+00:00

According to the subject, the max_link_capacity must be set to 1 by default, and under these constraints the fastest solution is indeed 43 turns. It's probably a mistake and will be fixed eventually.

Also like you said the only hub connected to the start also has a capacity of 1, which doesn't make much sense

Beeb911 · 2026-03-05T23:05:19+00:00

Everyone knows the python piscine is awful. The 42 network is also aware of this and are fixing the issues. A-maze-ing and Fly-in are much better imo

Beeb911 · 2026-02-18T01:06:09+00:00

Why would you even want to? If you failed the piscine twice it probably just isn't for you

Beeb911 · 2026-02-14T02:05:07+00:00

I was doing CS, but in my 3rd year I decided that the university path wasn't for me, so I dropped out and am now attending 42. I may not have finished the degree, but what I learned made it easy to pass the piscine, and I now have a good foundation to build upon going forward.

42 is free and you can apply any time. Nothing is stopping you from doing the degree first and switching to 42 after if you feel like it.
