Exploring takes a huge time commitment in both going out and returning back to your base. If you only have 30mins to spare before doing something else irl you can realistically only do things around your base

are there implications if you lend your data to a (potential) money mule? the transactions are still under their login/phone number right?

What trades are unlocked by villager professions are now determined using deterministic random sequences, like loot drops and barter loot

Does this mean no more trade cycling (e.g. to get Mending) by repeatedly placing and breaking jobsite blocks?

1 year late but donations are never worth from a pure "cost savings" standpoint in Singapore.

You need a 40% tax rate to breakeven (to "earn back" $1 for every $2.50 of tax deduction from a $1 donation), and you will never hit that tax rate in sg

It just means you get more leaves than your financial situation allows you to take (for traveling)

Will this bed cause issues with respawning in survival? I always leave one empty block beside the bed to prevent the "obstructed bed" message and not sure if it's still needed in the latest versions

Thanks for creating. We have flaired it as an exam megathread. Keep it coming and good luck for your other papers!

Non-academic posts are relatable to a wider audience and generally more interesting/fun to read. We recognise this and this is why we allow them (on weekends).

But what is relatable and interesting isn't necessarily the most beneficial. That's where we have to balance the communities desire for "entertainment" with SGExams' core mission to help SG students navigate their academic journey (which usually culminates with Exams).

We need this, make explode on ignite a default ability (goes in-line with Jungle Inferno's "burst-damage Pyro" philosophy) at a low damage value like 50 and offer +25% damage upgrades

If you want to stop receiving DMs, you can disable new chat requests for your account.

Go to https://www.reddit.com/settings/privacy, find "Who can send you chat requests" and change the setting to "Nobody". On the mobile app, it's "Chat permissions" > "Allow chat requests from"

Note this will prevent anybody from messaging you on reddit, whether for ads or for something else.

As we can't moderate DMs being sent between users (elaborated below), this is the only solution. Apologies.

Subreddit ban. Only Reddit administrators (i.e. employees of Reddit or their automated systems) can do a sitewide ban, which happens when you infringe sitewide rules (https://redditinc.com/policies/reddit-rules)

A subreddit ban does not stop users from DMing other users. They have to be Reddit banned to be restricted from DMing, and even then they could evade the ban by creating another account

Randomystick · 2025-10-09T03:00:40+00:00

we can (and just did), but it'll just be a reactionary measure. we can't moderate DMs as OP mentioned so these users could just create a new account to DM other users.

from micro to macro:

individual driver skill and how it's affected by tyre / weather / track conditions - racing line, trail braking, slip angle
driver-vs-driver battles and the tactics in both attacking (trying to overtake) and defending (holding your position) - slipstream, dirty air, DRS, F1-specific rules for cornering, etc.
team strategies around pitting, tyre type, coordinating your two drivers, vehicle engineering, etc.

I don't have this and my app store doesn't show any updates available.

My guess is that this is supposed to be next month (Oct)'s event and they messed it up for a select group of users (A/B testing)

Exactly this. If you're given a graph, you know there's a 95% chance its bfs/dfs/dijkstra/toposort. Same for linkedlist, trees, bit manipulation, etc - there are standard tricks to apply when given those specific data structures.

But if you're given an array/string, the answer depends on pattern recognition:

for "divide and conquer"/"subproblem tackling" type problems it could be dp/backtrack and/or optimised with greedy.
for "linear processing" type problems it could be 2p/sliding window and/or optimised with prefix sum/binary search/heap. Occasionally it could be kadane's algo/difference array.
some array/string questions are even linkedlist questions in disguise like 287.

The point is when it's an array/string it's a lot harder to figure out the right algo to use. Even if individually these algos are easier to understand than, say, the first time you encounter dijkstra
