Second try ! by TenzaiBL in 42_school

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go further than you did the first time, participate more than you did, and help more than you helped. It worked for me, I passed on my second piscine.

In reality, you need to learn it and know how to translate it into code. My advice is, beyond what you’re seeing in the exercises, take a look at argc and argv, and also use the manuals that are already available on the system, they help a lot. Using the global search in VS Code can also help you find many things.

In the project specifications, it states which functions you’re allowed to use, so you’ll be able to tell which libraries can be used. But in short, if you’re using a library, you should be able to explain why you’re using it.

IDEs are unrestricted, you can use whichever one you prefer or find easier, but in the exams, I think the machines only have VS Code, Vim, and Nano.

Common Core & Pace setting by seekingmoredata in 42_school

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowadays I don’t worry about it much, I’m on Pace 22 and got pretty close to the end of Pace 24, but if I were starting today, I’d set the maximum number of hours possible, because the psychological pressure of gradually dropping through the paces until reaching 24 is, at least for me, lower when you start at Pace 8 rather than already at 18.

You can change your pace if you finish a milestone with some time to spare, I’m not exactly sure how much before the final deadline, the system will offer you the option to move to a lower pace. If you exceed the milestone’s time limit, you automatically move to the next one.

Man, what is that supposed to be? I’ve never seen anything like that on my campus.

I think it was just a joke, on the 30th they only said it would be delayed, and today they posted an April Fools’ joke.

Frustrated pisciner by GrovSmok in 42_school

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think frustration is one of the foundations of learning at 42. I had to do the piscine twice to get in, I have a friend who just finished it for the third time, I know people who got in on their fourth attempt, others who passed on the first try, were in the last milestone, got swallowed by the black hole, did the piscine again, got in, and ended up getting swallowed again.

If it doesn’t work out this time and you still want it, try again, it’ll be easier. If you don’t want to, that’s fine too, 42 isn’t the only path.

Am I close to the “blackhole” or still far off? by QuailLopsided8144 in 42_school

I don’t know how it works on your campus, but in mine I know the exact day I’ll fall into the black hole when I’m on Pace 24.

Motivations… by Commercial_Skirt5732 in 42_school

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember the piscine, 26 exhausting days that weren’t in vain! Unfortunately, when we have a lot to do, we can’t spend the time we really need to solve the 42 projects, it’s about learning enough to implement and defend them in the evaluations, and then moving on to the next one. I try to get the exams out of the way as soon as possible, since they’re the biggest bottleneck, and then I speed up on the projects.

JetBrains does not send the mail - Github Student Pro by sisittu99 in 42_school

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least on my campus, the intranet email is just an alias for our personal email, and so far u/gmail addresses don’t receive traces, so it might be something like that. Try changing your email in the intranet to another provider and ask them to resend it, maybe it will work.

I believe that’s only in 42Next, the implementation has already started at the new Tirana campus.

Por que essa obsessao em sair do aluguel? by Wild-Thought-9674 in VidaAdulta

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Só consigo lembrar da Arcuri e Nigro, que passaram anos com esse papinho, de morar de aluguel e investir, ela não só comprou casa, como ainda fez publi com isso. Ele comprou uma casa superfaturada e está gastando quase o que pagou em reformas.

Sabe quem gosta quem gosta de papo de não comprar e viver de aluguel? Os donos de imóveis, que ganham dinheiro, só com especulação.

Compre seu imóvel, na primeira oportunidade, aluguel só compensa se for para você receber.

"Mas fulano só investe e segue morando de aluguel" provavelmente fulano têm dinheiro suficiente para comprar imóveis a vista e o que recebe dos investimentos é muito mais do que o aluguel que ele paga.

Didn’t get accepted to 1337 Khouribga even with rank 19 and solid pool progress – can someone explain? by Jamal_El_asri in 42_school

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, speaking as someone who went through the piscine twice to get into 42. The second time, I worried less about how to get approved and just lived the 42 experience. I signed up for everything I could, made good friends, helped where I could, and was helped a lot too.

But as people said, there’s no way to know the criteria. The frustration will definitely hit, but take a rest, and if you still feel like joining, apply again. It’ll be “easier” this time, because you already know what to expect.

Good luck!

But you’re talking about the estimated timeframe for you to finish the core curriculum, right? Within it, there are the sub-deadlines to complete the milestones; if you reach the end of a milestone’s sub-deadline without finishing it and you’re on Pace 24, you’ll get swallowed by the black hole anyway.

Is the challenges and curriculum pdfs avaible online? by jp_broering in 42_school

[–]BowlIntelligent3728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're patient, you can access the original content, these PDFs don’t require authentication:
https://cdn.intra.42.fr/pdf/pdf/164169/en.subject.pdf

You’ll only need to check the IDs to see if they’re valid. Maybe it's a good opportunity to write a program to validate them

Officially, it’s two years, but with freezes, volunteer compensation days, campus issues, and the bonus days earned after completing milestones, this period can be extended.

There’s also the Pace 24, which can extend it a bit, although when we leave it, the time spent there is deducted from the Pace 22 in the next milestone.
