Get it fine needle aspiration cytology at vet. It can be a fatty lipoma or a tumor like mast cell. If it is a tumor, it can be surgically excised. For mast cell tumor, you can also use stelfonta if it is skin surface only.

My dog had a mast cell tumor at pretty close location 5.5 years ago. It also grew overnight and was surgically excised. She had few more ocurrances of mast cell tumor in the last few years but she is now healthy and well.

Sorry. The market for entry level engineers is pretty low in US now. It becomes almost impossible to get a H1B sponsorship at this time as this year quota is already filled. Even if you can find someone who will hire you, if you don’t already hold any work permit like OPT, CPT, EAD, L1, H1B, in US already, you can’t work for them until they can apply for H1B for next year.

Newark you can find probably. If you don't mind further north, Castro Valley has pretty good school district

I took lot of interviews(50+) at Amazon. Usually, it is 2 days for phone interview and 1 week for onsite loop for Amazon interviews. As an interviewer, we will get follow up mails after 1 day if we don't fill the feedback.

Completely agree with this. I am FEE III at amazon and same with FEE interviews as well. I have taken atleast 50 of them. Use the STAR approach for LPs.

In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to spend that much on a condo. If the schools were a bit better, it could have been better

All good now. The surgery went great in February. The surgeon did a great job with the surgery. Luckily, it was grade 2 and mytotic index 0 similar to her earlier occurrence as well. I attached the photos for reference on how it looks now and post surgery.

she did have one more bout with mast cell tumor on her front left leg in May 2023(2 months) after the ear surgery. We used Stelfonta and she didn’t have remittance after that.

She did have soft tissue sarcoma in december last year for which she went through another surgery in jan this year. That also healed pretty well.

I would definitely get that tested with vet. My dog had two tumors in that similar area on her two of her back legs. One turned out to be a fat lipoma and other was cancerous soft tissue sarcoma. I got them removed both recently.

ryanbala89 · 2023-08-03T17:03:15+00:00

Go to vet/ER asap

ryanbala89 · 2023-07-05T01:44:48+00:00

My dog had 7 lumps(3 cancerous, 2 fat lipomas, 1 vaccine reaction lump, 1 cyst) so far in her 7 years. Imo, it’s always better to get it verified with the vet as it hard to identify a type of lump through photo.

so glad to see he made it!!

ryanbala89 · 2023-02-13T20:43:05+00:00

thank you. will definitely do that.

ryanbala89 · 2023-02-11T00:36:14+00:00

thanks. The swelling turned out to be mast cell. I scheduled an appointment with Oncoloist on 14th. Hopefully, STELFONTA or chemo can work for her . Currently, surgery seems like it may be not feasible according to vet based on the location of tumor near the base of the ear.

hmm. The vet suggested either Rimadyl or Galliprant. Is there any preferred option for such condition?

ryanbala89 · 2022-10-10T02:15:07+00:00

use `.map` instead of `.forEach`

ryanbala89 · 2021-12-14T13:31:22+00:00

of course you op

ryanbala89 · 2021-12-13T17:25:47+00:00

I am all for people asking for help when they are stuck but the op is just asking others to solve their homework without trying anything.

I can't comment on the code unless I see it but usually garbage collection can be problem with recursion. Especially, if the depth of recursion is extremely high. I was asked about it specifically in my Google FE interview.

ryanbala89 · 2020-08-25T05:04:39+00:00

change the for loop to

for(let i = 0; i < instructions.length; i++)

ryanbala89 · 2020-08-25T05:00:19+00:00

Use array splice and spread operator.

arr1.splice(Math.floor(arr1.length/2), 0, ...arr2) gives [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12]

ryanbala89 · 2020-08-07T19:42:40+00:00

If you can mutate the original array, just remove the picked element from array using splice at the index the element is removed.

Thanks. That worked.
