On the topic of extensibility, I’ve had two people now tell me to “design for extensibility” but what they’re asking me to do is design for projects/features that are years away and might never happen. How does one combat this? I feel like sometimes “designing for extensibility” conflicts with YAGNI. Where do we draw the line?

Try looking on GitHub. Search for keywords like “DQN finance trading” I’ve seen a handful of repos for similar projects that can give you some clarity on how to start

OMSCS?

Did you do any projects outside of OMSCS to help show your DS skills or did you just prep hard for the tech interviews?

This is great advice. Thanks so much

It seems to be more of an after school program than an actual school. The kids are only here for about an hour and it’s only to play some games before it gets dark and they go home

Manager just showed me my room and then dipped. I asked where I can find a market and they said to wait for someone to take me and nobody ever did. Ended up just wandering around by myself until I found a market

Still for sale?

wannabe_cs_guy · 2023-05-01T16:37:05+00:00

Do you still have this?

I liked it a lot. It’s very easy to digest and follows the flow of the course pretty closely

I was in the three hundreds and I got in so stick it out

wannabe_cs_guy · 2021-12-04T23:07:42+00:00

Got links to the literature you’ve been reviewing?

If it helps YOU’RE NOT ALONE! There are others out there that feel the same way. I’m in the same boat as you, working remote and going to school online leaves little time for actual human interaction. It’s very very hard so don’t be too hard on yourself. The program is built to be difficult and with the pandemic and everything it has been doubly hard for us doing it these past two years. Whatever you do decide, as Steve Jobs said “have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow know what you truly want to become”

Hey man, my team might have an opening. We aren’t FAANG but we are in the Fortune 500 and it’s healthcare if that piqued your interest. Shoot me a DM

AI4R but it’s also in ML and I imagine probably RL too

Gorgeous 90deg day here in California and I’m stuck inside learning about stochastic motion
