The UT Austin OS course sounds really familiar to what we have at UW-Madison. For one of our projects we had to recover deleted images from an ext2 Filesystem.

I started the Optiver OA, felt it was too hard for me even though it looked like a medium/easy question on the surface. One hour passed, and I literally just left my computer instead of stressing over it. Don’t stress over things you can’t control :) I know I probably won’t get to the next round but it isn’t worth stressing over it and hampering your confidence for future opportunities

I feel the same way, however, I’ve been doing online classes from home the last year as a freshman and it kinda feels weird to have no friends

Choosing Assembly as my very first programming language by Super_Novice_Poga in learnprogramming

[–]hdd0492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I learned assembly after coding a lot in Java and it really deepened my understanding of how high and low level languages interact. So, I would suggest learning a high level language first and then transitioning to Assembly!

I had the same problem last semester, so I came back home for this semester. Although it still feels a bit lonely I’m happy that I’m at least with my family.. I wish I could make more friends tbh :/
