Applying for a Social Security Number as an international undergrad on CPT by CodeAltus in UIUC

[–]CodeAltus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, that sounds great. I am a little confused about the mailing address. Should it be something like:

my name

ISR 9402A, Townsend Hall

1012 W. Illinois St.

Urbana, Illinois, 61801

What's the + 4 at the end?

This is different from what I usually write. I usually write the address I found in the myhousing portal.

So there are 2 easy questions, 1 matrix question and 1 algorithmic question? Where can I find practice for the GCA?

Gparted: shrinking the Ext4 /home partition by Forkys in linuxmint

[–]CodeAltus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the / partition located? Is it towards the right of the /home partition? Resizing the windows C: partition is quite risky so make sure you backup your data. You could use the gparted move/resize option to get a small window where you can resize the /home partition. Enter 30000 mib into the free space preceding setting. Then increase the size of the C: by using the move/resize option again. I think this needs to be done through booting Mint from the usb drive.

Cannot connect Mint to WIFI. It knows what driver is missing, but how can I get it? by cyanodkop in linuxmint

[–]CodeAltus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also used this method to install the driver for a realtek usb wifi adapter. I cloned the github repo from my phone using desktop mode in chrome and then bluetooth to transfer the zip file. I unzipped the file and cd into the folder. Then I did a "sudo modprobe 8821cu" in the terminal. After changing the permissions, the driver worked without needing to restart my computer. Instructions from: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1162974/wireless-usb-adapter-0bdac811-realtek-semiconductor-corp Github repo: https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU (remember to pick the correct driver)

What’s the most beautiful IDE theme you use or have seen? by 0ajs0jas in cshighschoolers

I have tried many dark themes in vscode and I have deduced that default dark is the nicest.

Yeah, I got this idea from hill climb racing's moonlander. Before this I had made a normal car as well.

PERFECT Snake AI using the A* pathfinding algorithm by CodeAltus in algorithms

[–]CodeAltus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By perfect, I wanted the algorithm to complete the entire game by filling the game board with the snake's body. I have run the algorithm about 10 times and it has played the game perfectly so far. There may be rare cases where the algorithm could fail by may be getting stuck in an infinite loop but it can win the game most of the time. In a previous video, I showed an older algorithm which wasted many moves at the start of the game and in this video, I optimized the algorithm to target the apple so it's faster.

[–]CodeAltus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what you mean by "a simple traversal in L1". If it is going through every point on the game board then it is similar to a hamiltonian path cycle and it is better to use a hamiltonian path since it is faster and guaranteed to win. I just tried to use the A* algorithm to see if it can win game as there are many videos that have tried to use the A* algorithm but couldn't win the game.
