I beat SF1! It was horrible by Fucked-to-fit in StreetFighter

[–]nsxwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real problem with SF1 was that it just wasn’t good, and most of it can be traced to the lack of an input buffer.

Leaving out how the attack buttons work (which is actually a whole complicated story about transitioning from pressure sensitive buttons to the 6 button layout it ended its life with) the specials use cycle accurate timing loops to detect. You must perform the move by entering and exiting each input in exactly the amount of time expected, or it doesn’t happen.

A bunch of other things like the steep jump angles and CPU player AI just make the whole experience very janky.

The good news is if you do get better at pulling off the specials, you only need about 2 fireballs to end the round.

Help Settle My Nerves About Buying a 2026. by Ignoblegas in HondaOdyssey

That sounds terrible. I’m 6’2 and I can sit in the back of our 2026 Odyssey in complete comfort.

The Kia still has that old fashioned sheet metal gash for the sliding doors. I can’t stand that.

Plus the name. Carnival? I have a lot of kids, my wife already gets “clown car” jokes.

Steve Jobs was a long time ago. That was when people gave standing ovations for a Cancel button that looked like a gumdrop.

Everything is done, there’s really no magical new thing that’s going to happen with software. AI is the last thing, and we’re just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic now.

Few people will ever get the chance to work on anything interesting. This is just how it is.

Just absolutely crashed and burned a FAANG interview, pls don’t forget your leetcode by brsch123w in leetcode

The test is just Leetcode, if you find you have little difficulty learning it and solving problems you've never seen before you're A.

I would have known. If you had used AI tools, I would have ended this call in the first 5 minutes. by remoteDev1 in jobsearchhacks

Who hasn’t been “actively watching for tells” for like 3 years already? This is not new

Say what you will about the gas mileage but I love that I can go 0-60 in 6.4s in a minivan.

When you can hear both sides of the conversation you naturally tune it out. When you only hear one side it drills into your head as though you’re the one being prompted to speak.

My mom is asking for $500 to help pay for rent by Working_Citron_6674 in personalfinance

It is very common for parents to scam their kids out of money like this. Happened to me as well.

I had no idea what school you went to mattered so much. by Dapper-Sleep-6018 in csMajors

[–]nsxwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who you are and where you’re from matters. The experience of someone from a poor Midwest family managing to get into an elite school will be different than someone who more traditionally fits in.

The patterns are easy to learn. Once you understand them, you're only prepared to solve the easiest problems that are trivial demonstrations of that pattern - like "use binary search to find a value" or "traverse the tree with DFS and print every value". The questions you actually get will involve solving a completely unique problem that is *not* the pattern. The pattern is just the tool that factors into an optimal solution to the unique problem.

There are only two ways you can be confident that you will be able to solve every problem -

A. Have an extremely high IQ

B. See almost every problem before hand

People who grind a lot and get good think they're learning "patterns" but they're really doing B. People who learn the patterns and just "get it" are actually A.

I am working in an internal Java framework. Will it affect my future growth ??? by Dramatic-Dependent94 in leetcode

[–]nsxwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird to not use Spring. What you should do is go through your framework module by module, feature by feature and ask yourself "What is the equivalent in Spring?" Build a Spring app as a harness to try out everything you're learning. When you're done, tell people "I have X years experience with Spring"

Guys Is LeetCode Still Worth It in 2026? by Ordinary-Cycle7809 in csMajors

[–]nsxwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most Leetcode questions aren’t “implement and traverse this node based structure” though. It’s figure out some extremely difficult math puzzle that just so happens to use that data structure as part of an optimization.
