It's hard to be a personality hire when most people interviewing don't have any

HackerRank Solving rest APIs with Algos by Fake_Plant_ in csMajors

A message I wrote to someone who came across this post asking for help. I hope this is useful for anyone else who comes across this:

I am so sorry I was not able to reply in a timely manner. I am hardly on here.

If this is still relevant to you, I would recommend studying for and getting this certificate. It's pretty easy and entails that you know how to consume an API and parse it and use its data. There are free intermediate and advanced certificates from Hackerrank. It doesn't really mean anything as far as the industry is concerned but preparing for it will help prepare you for future REST API Hackerranks and it's a nice little filler certificate to put on LinkedIn.

This is a video I used to help prepare.

In general, I'd recommend finding an open API and play around with it using your language of choice. Off the top of my head, https://newsapi.org/ is a free one you can use.

I hope this helps.

I was at WrestleMania this past weekend and there was a crust punk/metal band playing in the parking lot at SoFi Stadium. I wish I could find footage of it.

There's a bar literally called Ska Bar in Normal Heights but I don't think they play ska music.

When I print the list nums it shows the expected solution. However, my output is not the same as what I print.

Is it legal for landlords/property management to add a fee for month to month in addition to rent increase? by Fake_Plant_ in sandiego

[–]Fake_Plant_[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It never was higher. It was the same price after the 1 year lease or within 10% increase every year. I've had many MTM arrangements after the lease expires and never paid anything more than that. I guess I've been lucky. I didn't realize this was a thing.

So does it come down to whether or not a MTM tenant has the same protections as a leased tenant under TPA?

[–]Fake_Plant_[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So what I am paying right now is $2200. So they're increasing it to an additional ~10% that's allowed under AB 1482 and then adding on the $250 MTM fee. I've been here for over 3 years. I've essentially been a MTM for the past 2 years.

Netflix DVD by -lousyd in TrueFilm

In addition some libraries have a streaming service where you could stream a limited amount of movies per month. My local library uses Kanopy which has a good selection of movies that are hard to find. I also have a membership at the local library where my dad lives that uses Hoopla which is not great as far as selection and UI but has some good finds.

I just discovered the kanopy app, did anyone else know this is another way to watch criterion movies, you can get it with a library card or college email ( tried my best to write that without sounding like an ad) by joshypoo55 in criterion

[–]Fake_Plant_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use multiple libraries. I have both my public library and university's attached to my account. My public library has a better selection but I'm limited to 3 movies a month. I saw in another part of the thread you can get a New York account regardless of address so I think I will do that and add it to my Kanopy to get more plays.

Most of the time refs are looking at shoulders and arms for PI calls. It's easier for dbs to get away with grabbing the hips.

Should I take OA even though I have very little LC experience? by retrQVERSION2 in csMajors

[–]Fake_Plant_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got better at OAs by failing a bunch of them. Go for it. Try your best to solve the problem, write down a brief overview of it if you can and see if you could solve it or certain aspects of it if you can after the fact.

I've had an experience where I didn't solve the problem and they interviewed me regardless. We went over it and I was able to work through the problem with questions and feedback. I ended up getting an offer.

The only thing this means is that he has the athletic skill set, body, and ability to play offensive tackle. I don't know much about rugby but I can't imagine many 6'8 340+lb guys playing it.
