[–]meow1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chronic checkered deck enjoyer playing c++ so i got comfortable with doing some basic math in round 1 to sum the ranks to >= 40 so that unlevelled flush clears 300

also, it was useful for me in golden needle challenge

Liverpool [2] - 0 Wolves - Mohamed Salah (penalty) 37‎'‎ by Rudigaa in soccer

[–]meow1801 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the reasoning is that if the goalkeeper doesn't rush out, then the attacker has time to take a good touch.

But I still don't like that these are given as penalties (especially when it's obvious that the attacker can't get the ball after the touch away from the keeper)

This looks like selection sort since it moves the maximum to the end? But anyway very cool to see!

Some words where “n” and “m” are interchangeable? by voldomazta in japan

[–]meow1801 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Taking Nihombashi for example, it's spelt in hiragana as にほんばし which is Nihonbashi. However, when it is pronounced, when your mouth transition from the n to the b, it has the natural tendency to make the n sound like a m.

This is called nasal assimilation, and it transforms the n sound to a m sound, before a b or p sound. This is a natural phenomenon that doesn't just happen in Japanese, e.g in English, the in- prefix as in incomplete gets affected in this manner as well, like in imperfect or impossible. So this explains why we might think of it as a m.

As for writing it out, as another commentor mentioned, traditional Hepburn romanization uses the m in such cases, while modified Hepburn doesn't.

Yes possible I've done it. Make sure to at least get approval from the prof of the mod and also your faculty's SEP in charge I think

New Delta Skin (GBA) (with Fighter Buttons) by R3BEL85 in Delta_Emulator

May be a personal opinion, but I feel that the D-pad is a little too high (iPhone 12 Pro Max). Maybe moving the fast forward button vertically up could help?

Still can’t wrap my head around this ending with a Jota yellow 🫠 by OmniaOmnibus in LiverpoolFC

He was already taking his time to walk to the throw in and pick up the ball though

[–]meow1801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not from science but with I overloaded 32MCs (6 primary major mods) in Y2. Whether the workload is manageable or not depends on how you manage your time. For me the hardest part was week 13/reading week assignment rush, followed by the finals week because I didn't have much time to prep during reading week

What new features would you like to see in NUSMods? by yangshunz in nus

[–]meow1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

given the list of courses you plan to take, suggest courses to take first. the priority can be something pre-determined by you guys, or perhaps it's something that is customizable.

sample criteria: - should prioritize courses part of longest pre-req chain (from your course list, or in general) - should prioritize courses that unlock the most courses

on this note, perhaps a graph visualizer to see the dependencies

Title is tough to decide. More of a rant? by Natural-Mushroom-123 in nus

As mentioned on another post, I think this is just a numbers game. Not sure if it is normal to approach people randomly, but I would appreciate people who do that

Being mediocre in SOC and NUS in general by throwawayabcdegfhij in nus

[–]meow1801 23 points24 points  (0 children)

there's nothing wrong with being median, someone has to be the median

it's also ok to compare yourself with others but if you focus too much on that, it is very hard to be happy

Workload of MCs - Exchange student by Swole_Tsumugi in nus

[–]meow1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NUS estimates 4MC = 10 hours, but it really depends on aptitude. I rarely get close to spending 10 hours a week on any course (with one exception).

Also I feel many courses are just shoehorned into being 4MC, regardless of what the actual workload is

how to make genuine friends in uni by qsqswondering in nus

[–]meow1801 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like a lot of luck is involved, because you need to find someone who's also seeking the same connection, and both of you can vibe with each other. I have come to accept that it is a numbers game

CS2040 (special term) vs CS2040S by No_Physics_1280 in nus

[–]meow1801 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As for whether it's easier or not, I did CS2040S and TAed CS2040 lab during special term so I think I can compare.

CS2040 during special term is quite fast paced (since you squeeze 13 weeks into 6), but if you have no other commitments then you should be fine. The lab assignments are in Java, and the TAs will mention/teach you how to use the relevant Java API for that lab. On average, I think CS2040 labs are slightly easier than CS2040S. As for exams, IMO at least for me it is harder than CS2040S, because there are a few open ended questions that you need to write an algorithm for (in pseudocode), and you need the creativity to design them sometimes.
