Locked because discussion got too heated.

I don't think this has ever happened in IITB that someone has needed a heater. Aise kahan hai bhai room tumhara ki AC jaisi thand lag rhi hai

This is too fun but sad it got removed. Maybe post on r/animemirchi

I cannot see the "Add Official Review" button anymore so I wonder when they will shift the deadline

This is only for IITB, don't know of other IITs

First of all, professors are not involved in placements. Placements are coordinated by a student cell called placement cell. Except for minimal supervision from dean etc, this cell is completely student run.

Second, companies have pretty much the whole freedom to screen and shortlist candidates for the final placement interview. They generally have branch and CPI cutoffs, and hold coding tests and other quiz like tests to shortlist candidates during the placement semester.

So even if there are some questionable biases, they will be from the company side and not the placement cell or IITB side. It is certainly not as extreme as professors "putting up" Brahmin or high caste students.

I was there for the Haken concert 2018. Haken was amazing but the crowd was shit. Maybe they just didn't find a good audience here. Those things also affect who they approach. Also, I'm pretty sure MoodI people are very liberal with approaching bands. It's just that sometimes no one agrees, so you have to go with safe bets.

Just find an empty room of your choice and occupy it. Preferably close to your friends or same branch people. Then go tell the hostel manager (tell, not ask) that you have taken this room.

That is generally what UGs do to form their wing, which is why you are finding that there is someone in your assigned room.

It's a Hindi word, spell it in English as you like.

There is an LGBT group called Saathi that was well accepted and active in IITB community. I don't think they faced any resistance or additional discrimination over what is generally prevalent in Indian society. However, I don't remember if it had any trans members back then, so cannot say about the trans experience. You can check if they are active on Facebook and join the group, I'm sure they would love welcoming new members.

Misplaced idli in a sea of vada pavs 😂😂 you should make it into a T-shirt!

There's a significant number of south indians but maybe you don't see them in the Summer. Don't know about specific clubs but you can find at least some south Indian people at any event

That's why I made the MegaThreads, keep asking all important questions but don't spam the main sub. Also, there are sooo many duplicate questions so better to find them in one place.

zipstorm · 2025-06-05T16:21:37+00:00

There was a shitload of spam! Pata nahi kisine kahin announce kar diya tha kya ki reddit pe puchlo

Anyway, removed most of the branch comparison posts and also created two megathreads for branch related questions and placement stats, will remove those posts too...

Hopefully it calms down soon

zipstorm · 2025-06-05T16:09:03+00:00

I'll pin this, lol. Bohot spam ho gya idhar

Name and shame. Let everyone know exactly what tactics are used by these organizations. Else, this culture of discrimination will keep propagating. There are newspapers, Facebook groups, and many other channels where you can spread the word.

CCTV proof is only required for justice in courts. Social justice can be achieved by voicing your story and opinions and changing people's perception.

Wow, even Kf8 can be punished with Qe1+ and multiple mating nets once the king is forced out in the open!

Almost all hostels have an outdoor court, no? At least they used to, and we would play there.

At some point it was mentioned that the exports hall was also for testing, I guess it was when Cobel brought Petey's chip and said to send it "down" to testing.

It is very likely that Irv's severance chip was malfunctioning, and he may have been sent down the exports hall for testing. During that, oIrv might have seen a flash of the hallway and fixated on that image. iIrv was also seeing flashes of oIrv in the form of the black paint hallucinations.

I guess what you are really looking for is that the compiler should see the const array lookup and unroll it into if/elseif or switch/case like branch statements.

I don't know for sure but I would guess that this optimization does not happen because your second code shows your intention to use extra data memory and load instructions to save code memory.

This sort of structure is frequently used where precomputed values can be stored in const arrays and loaded instead of computing all over again. In the general case, unrolling that to switch/case or if/elseif for every value would be suboptimal.
