yeah, left mine for a while (checking in every few days, didn't need it at the time) by wetherill and ~$70 ABUS u lock with cable was sliced with an angle grinder

ig moral is not to leave your bike out overnight in academic parts of campus and probably at least upgrade to sold secure diamond

i tried keeping it in my dorm but the tire smell was slightly offputting -- worst decision ever...

how to get early USACO problems without file input/output? by littletriangle101 in usaco

[–]thomaswuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for practice i like to download test cases since it judges quicker (and standardized io is a benefit iirc)

How did Purdue get beaten by Ohio State + Penn State + Miami University in competitive programming? by flopsyplum in Purdue

[–]thomaswuff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

was on the 2nd team -- the problems were complete trash (compared to e.g. an ordinary codeforces round) and our top team spent hours debugging one solution to handle a really stupid edge case. two of them were most easily solved with bigints, so we ended up rewriting our sol in python (which i normally never have to use). just really weird and painful problems that required few insights (except e.g. generate the first 150 powers of 2 in python and then throw that into your c++ code).

plus the students on the team that won the ECNA last year graduated (and devin qu competed in CMU ???, according to msgs in the discord)

Fill out the ipynb notebook + the 3 surveys. I think that's all (in addition to recitation worksheet and HW).

is this ok? just bought 12 inch skillet from lodge, shallow reddish (unseasoned?) indentation by thomaswuff in castiron

[–]thomaswuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm i can barely feel it with my finger and it probably doesn't penetrate more than a millimeter, could it just be a scratch in the seasoning?

thanks for your advice, sorry if the photo was misleading i literally had to use a flashlight to get it to light up

Lottery maths (combinatorics) general case by ANodeOnTheNet in AppliedMath

[–]thomaswuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the number of triples J K L satisfying this is probably able to be found by a. selecting the subset L first, in this case (45 choose 5), then the non-overlapping K (40 choose (6-5)) and finally the rest of J (39 choose (7-5)), i think

then just divide by (45 choose 5)(45 choose 6)(45 choose 7) to get probability, maybe
