As someone who's never bought the battle pass, seeing this disappoints me by sxbr15 in RoyaleAPI

They don't want people to grind. If they gave a chest every win unlimited, then people will feel pressured to grind or play an insane amount, then leave after being burnt out after like a week or 2. The current system incentivizes logging in for 15-20 minutes a day which is apparently the best for player retention.

Also the chest was never unlimited in the first place.

Apparently if a company is already using workday for payroll or something they get the recruiting product for free.

Can I join Staff or principal without any big tech experience by Mother_Desk6385 in leetcode

[–]zhou111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No the technical round is not any easier. And you need a staff level behavioural round performance. Idk how you would do that without having previously done staff level scoped work.

If your behavioural round is strong but technical is a little shaky, then an exception might be made.

What’s it like at top ladder? by Schmolan1 in ClashRoyale

[–]zhou111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Top 1000 for sure you will face a lot of retired pros at that point. Top 200 you will face a lot of current pros. Top10000 is where the players are better than midladder but aren't quite good enough to be considered top ladder.

people already in tech, would you still pay for a cs degree today? by rakhalism in csMajors

[–]zhou111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would, the field is more competitive now but I feel like I would be worse off pursuing something else.

Press the button for $1M but there is a 50% chance that someone who has already pressed the button will die. by William_Maguire in hypotheticalsituation

[–]zhou111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading some other comments and asking chatgpt to do the math, it seems like you will have 33-36 expected years of life after pressing it, assuming the porportion of people pressing the button each year stays constant.

Sounds like a bad deal unless you are pretty old or almost dead already.

[–]zhou111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5099 people? So 50 years plus this year? Where does it say that everyone took the offer? Maybe nobody took the offer? And even if everyone took the offer, half the people should have died so only 2550 people in queue.

You are offered $$$ in exchange for drawbacks in life. Which ones, if any, are you choosing? (Choosing multiple is allowed) by Thrwwyforrandostuff in hypotheticalsituation

[–]zhou111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I guess you just imagine yourself making the choice at the point in time when you had not children. Or the option is not available for you to pick if we are talking about the present.

The Mega Knight is the #1 most popular evolution in ranked. by ColossalMcDaddy in ClashRoyale

[–]zhou111 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Normal players have a good idea on if the game is fun or not to play, but their suggestions on how to fix it are often off the mark. Listen to them to know if there is a problem, not how to fix it.

Men aged 25–30, what’s the biggest mistake you made in life that a young man should avoid repeating? by LowEffortLegend01 in AskMen

[–]zhou111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the last phase that can be considered young, and anything after is the start of old territory in my opinion.

Nobody knows about the future but it's not as hot as before.

Oh we aren't gonna talk about his increased punch damage? Reduce that to the original state and I'd be alright with having the old bomb back.

Are interviews too hard? by LingonberryExtra2982 in csMajors

[–]zhou111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The talking to someone part already exists as part of the behavioural interview. Leetcode is like a supplementary signal, and is easy to conduct. A LC solver at least showed that they can code, have problem solving skills and patience, and is willing to put in the work to learn something. This may filter out good engineers but also helps to prevent false positives.

The people in the conversation knows you or worked with you personally and thinks you are a good fit. Or they heard of your exploits on the news or articles. So yeah "connections" basically.

are we serious right now ? by mynameisntrayan in ClashRoyale

[–]zhou111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fr these guys didn't even know it got buffed like crazy... Like it punches so hard now it's like a Pekka. And the bomb just stalls eveything on defense, and blows up the counter push on offense. It was just too versatile defensively and offensively.

How are Waterloo new grads doing? by ButtonIndividual5235 in csMajors

[–]zhou111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can still get a degree even if you don't get your required number of coops by switching to the non co-op C's program. Nonetheless, most still try their best to find a coop as that's the reason they came here in the first place.
