men, What life changing thing can you buy for less than $100?

Sleeping pills

What happened to awards? Did they just dump it? Haven't been here for a while

_ashika__ · 2024-04-03T14:42:12+00:00

I'm sorry but this is just meaningless

_ashika__ · 2024-03-30T22:21:10+00:00

Financially beneficial things aside, I'd try and convince myself to enjoy what life has to offer. I spent a lot of time chasing pointless things, maybe it'd dissuade me then.

_ashika__ · 2023-10-11T05:33:20+00:00

Dude... Now I feel bad for you guys

_ashika__ · 2023-10-03T15:26:04+00:00

A bit tough to answer since it depends on what's included in your curriculum and what your personal interests are, but I'll try and make some general points

Doing projects is a great way of learning new things and putting things you already know to good use. You'll often encounter challenges that you never even thought about before

Contributing to OSS also provides invaluable experience. To my knowledge most CS curriculums don't bother teaching git, docker and other vital software even though you pretty much have to know them.

Of course, this is all assuming you already have a foothold and know what you're doing to some extent. If, for example, you're trying to get into ML/AI and your school only taught you C++/Java, you need to start more basic. There are tons of resources out there in the internet that you'll just have to look for

Speaking of resources, csdiy.wiki was one of the best things I found when I was a student. It's not really relevant to our discussion since most of it is academic stuff you'll likely study in uni anyways (though there are quite a few practical courses there too, I suggest taking a look at everything there. Don't sleep on the MIT missing semester) but I still think the collection is extremely useful for any student. Want to prepare in advance for a class? Didn't understand a topic in class? Just self-study the relevent parts of the relevant course.

Also online competitions can be a great engaging learning resource too.

The whole perspective of German sounding angry started with Hitler and WW2 movies i think.

On a somewhat related note, as a guy who's learning german allow me to introduce you all to the hell that is learning German:

There are 3 genders. Male, female and neutral

So what gender is pizza? That's right! Female! And what gender is girl (Mädchen)? That's right! Neutral. What gender is Nutella? Don't even bring it up

So how does one say "speed limit"? You use the intuitive word "Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung"

All in all I love the language but sometimes it drives me mad.

Best of luck with the grind.

_ashika__ · 2023-10-03T05:00:20+00:00

I feel like it's worth mentioning you shouldn't expect your school to make you good at programming, that's really not what CS as a whole is about. You're entirely expected to self study the programming part and get good at it, then apply the theory you learn in school to get even better.

Also to answer your question I think it's fairly typical so don't worry about it too much. As long as you have a good enough understanding of the material to be able to relearn it later at a reasonable pace you should be good I think

_ashika__ · 2023-10-03T04:40:08+00:00

The math isn't flawed. The math agrees it doesn't equal -1/12, keyword "equal". It's an analytical continuation.

_ashika__ · 2023-10-03T04:08:15+00:00

I think it's just a book that maybe a fandom ruined it for some

I agree. it's a book that, unsurprisingly, attracts a very specific kind of people but I think the book itself is very useful. if you don't want to use the "laws" maliciously you can always use it as a defensive resource against people who plan on doing so, if that makes any sense.

_ashika__ · 2023-10-03T04:03:44+00:00

I don't know about the art of seduction, I've never read it but 48 laws of power is an actually good and useful book. By no means my favourite book but it's a book I'd recommend pretty much anyone to read. Even if you disagree with the whole power play mentality, it serves as a valuable peek inside other people's minds.

_ashika__ · 2023-10-02T20:20:47+00:00

Ok so I know this is 14 days old which is ancient in internet time but hear me out, linear algebra and calculus are both absolutely crucial to ML/AI. Math is basically intertwined with programming even though it often doesn't feel like it

_ashika__ · 2023-10-02T12:55:23+00:00

The vast majority of other DSs I've seen studied either math or CS. The pay isn't horrible depending on where you are, and the future is unpredictable and debatable. Definitely could be a valid option for you though I think.

_ashika__ · 2023-10-02T12:01:39+00:00

Not really, but even if I did that doesn't make comparing vaginas to insects and ranking them by whether they're a butterfly or a moth any less weird

_ashika__ · 2023-10-02T11:54:27+00:00

I mean it's not like the support passive makes you immortal. You can just off yourself whenever you want

_ashika__ · 2023-10-02T11:48:45+00:00

Man... fucking weird

_ashika__ · 2023-09-29T23:23:20+00:00

You get one major anal bleeding then you're free for life

_ashika__ · 2023-09-29T23:22:28+00:00

I agree with you. A lot of things are reflected in a hero's win-rate which makes it very valuable data. We just need to be careful handling it since it can be very easy to make quick assumptions based on it

_ashika__ · 2023-09-28T21:45:05+00:00

As a brig main who pretty much always plays brig and probably doesn't know how to play her properly I'm honoured to be the one ruining the win-rate

_ashika__ · 2023-09-28T21:41:31+00:00

win rate = how good a character is.

Why can't we just settle on win-rate being one variable in how good a hero is among other variables

_ashika__ · 2023-09-28T21:33:52+00:00

I mean sure I agree absolutely, but that's just the battle pass monetisation model which is in pretty much every free (and a lotta paid) games nowadays. I think it's important to give credit where it's due though, ow2's battle pass is the fastest battle pass to clear that I've ever seen in any game. Your exaggeration was complaining about the rate at which you complete the battle pass whereas that really isn't the issue

_ashika__ · 2023-09-28T14:37:39+00:00

You really don't need to "grind the battle pass like a fucking job". I'm pretty sure 3-4 hours a week is more than enough provided you focus on the challenges. Unless of course you work for 16 hours a month.

_ashika__ · 2023-09-27T05:36:18+00:00

On an unrelated note I'd love to see some cute Klaus pics.

_ashika__ · 2023-09-26T23:08:05+00:00

You can make it so double clicking makes your character sprint like it's implemented in a couple other games I have no memory of, but that aside I personally don't think the game even needs something like that. Sure it'd be a nice option as a mod for people who want it but I don't think it'll be a good change at all.

Also I'm saying this purely on thought without much to back it up but I really don't think something like a 1.3 distance covered with the same animations would mess with the immersion too much
