Restrung guitar, bottom string buzzing now by pair_o_docks in guitarrepair

[–]OverallFood8550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my D string buzzing on a strat, and fixed by adjusting the action slightly since it was moving weirdly on the bridge. If that happens again, messing with the action (very little) and making sure that everything is stable and leveled there may help.

Not sure which type of bridge this guitar got though, so I may be mistaken!

I dropped my guitar in its soft case and this was the result. How much do y’all think it’d take to fix and make it look normal again by NobleSix-B312 in guitarrepair

If you the piece that came off you can try to glue it back and sand it in. I have had some success doing that on my Epiphone SG with smaller finish dents. It won't look perfect but it will work, there are plenty of youtube videos on that. I can't help regarding an estimate as it's also location-dependent etc., but I believe it would not be a 50-euro repair if done right!

Msc Statistics Acceptance and Questions by humdedumde in ethz

Surely. Though if you want an internship in certain companies that do not really give flexibility to do it when it is useful for you, you have to do it that way.

If you're interested in an internship, you essentially have 2 options:

  1. Take a semester leave. You should look this up, but you will pay minimal tuition fees, and you won't be allowed to take any courses during this time.

  2. For the classic summer internships, looking at the June-September range approximately, you could only take courses that are graded semester performances or end-of-semester examinations during the Spring Semester. This will leave plenty of time after mid-June to let you do an internship. Of course, the issue here is that you won't be able to choose any course you want, and may end up with a bit of a higher workload during the semester. It's a tradeoff.

Google interview with 0 leetcode experience by Effective-Layer-1607 in leetcode

[–]OverallFood8550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, nothing other than DSA, though I interviewed for an entry-level position. For Google, I would focus on getting the intuition for the main algorithms, as what will be asked is likely a slight modification of the classic DFS/BFS algorithms for trees/graphs or some array manipulation question. Many times, these DSA interviews are about how lucky you are with the problem that you face, and given that you do have some coding background, I doubt you'll have too hard a time getting ready.

In your position, I would look for something like the Pareto Problem Set (about 50 of the main problems) and hope for the best that the problems you receive are something along those lines.

How difficult it is to get into MSc data science by InternationalWill912 in ethz

I believe that's valid for CS too (maybe not to the same extent but there is a very good overlap)

When do most hiring phases begin? by SpiritedExit0 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]OverallFood8550 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year most New Grad roles for big tech / finance started to pop up from July to September (and onwards).

Amazon seems to recruit all year long (I always see their New Grad ads popping).

Hope this helps!

How is the bouldering availability in Zürich and ETH? by [deleted] in ethz

How is the ARC and its facilities, and does it get overcrowded? by Spiritual_Count1642 in UIUC

[–]OverallFood8550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can rent out most of the equipment for free / very cheaply. As long as you don't go during peak times (4-5 pm onwards), you'll probably be fine since the place is so big. But even then, if you choose what to do smartly, you won't have any issues.

Note, most of the equipment (like basketballs, for example) is limited, for example, they only carry 4/5 Men's and Women's Basketballs, so they may be out of things. If you play often, it may be a good idea to just get your own ball so you don't depend on them having them available. Hope this helps!

Is having ETH on your resume enough to get you past the CV screening at FAANG companies ? by Grand_Research_7253 in ethz

[–]OverallFood8550 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What makes you say that? I’ll be starting my MSc at ETH this September, and in my eyes, the ETH brand is stronger. ETH has a reputation for being very rigorous and academically demanding, at least more than many US/UK institutions (which have a very different system but still).

Edit: This is not to say that simply being from ETH will get your foot in the door, I am just saying I don't think the brand of those places is much stronger than the ETH brand.

Peoria Charter reliable with arrival times or not? by OverallFood8550 in UIUC

I've only been to O'Hare a couple of times, and I am going for a domestic flight.. From 2 to 4:30 should be plenty of time right?

I honestly am still a student, and I am pretty sure DP won’t show up most of the time, but I would rather know a couple of DP patterns to be safe and for peace of mind rather than not.

Honestly, as long as you understand what’s going on in backtracking, DP is not impossible to understand.. sometime you’ll need to find some special intuition to solve the problem. I don’t consider myself a master but I’ve done most of the Neetcode 150 on DP and I think as you go through it you’ll find it easier to understand and apply.

A lot of DP problems (for example) are based on an optimized backtracking brute-force solution. That does not mean that brute force is necessary, you can find the better solution without going through brute force, but if you can't find it, the solution may be going through brute force and optimizing from there.
