They have those questions where the answer is so obvious that it's hard to explain if you really understand the concept, but to pass you just need to memorise the correct way of explaining things that they want
Remember: DO NOT golf your Java. I repeat, DO NOT golf your Java. Partially because Java's so annoying to golf you might accidentally start writing APL or something ;)
@RadvylfPrograms When I took it, I realized I didn't know how to write an ampersand. I figured out some squiggle which looked close enough after a while, though.
It's more the program logic, and Java-y stuff like formatting of classes/methods that they're looking for I think
I'm not sure how far they go with it, but I know for sure that points aren't taken off for stuff like missing semicolons, single =s instead of ==, and other things like that (that the compiler would quickly alert you to anyway)
Well I guess waited 20m for the lunch people to figure things out, are it all in 6 minutes, rushed to the lecture hall, to learn that we'll have to wait another 20m for the previous test to finish :|
ok so I uploaded a new package to pip for testing (pypi.org/project/advent) and after running sudo -H pip3 install advent it still says module not found after I try running import advent from python (I also tried python3 -m pip install advent)
anyone ever get this before? and did y'all get this when working on vyxal since ik that's been uploaded to pip
also i thought it'd be easier than this since with npm it was pretty easy and i uploaded my discord.js wrapper library to npm so i could install it to multiple projects since i was doing a lot of copy-pasting before i did that
@Seggan On CGCC? Doubt it, the last time I checked, it was around 35% IIRC
Speaking of SEDE tho, this is kinda depressing: number of users with 1k+ reputation who last accessed the site in each year (e.g. Howard would be one of the 10 users last seen in 2014)
@Seggan somewhere, buried in the 14 pages of queries I've written on SEDE :P But, you'd be better off looking for %<a>Try it% (and lowercase everything), rather than %Online</a>%
E.g. Shaggy has around 1000 answers, most of which say "Try it here", as he doesn't use the TIO Japt interpreter
I'd love to see someone teach a kid quantum physics and symbolic algebra and stuff but not basic addition and multiplication tables and stuff so it just fails at life
Either it's 1. some super stupid simplification of it that doesn't really teach anything at all or 2. these people are just selling books for money and they're written with a high school level audience and a condescending tone
Ooh, and we'll babble in those new languages, so maybe we should call it the Babble Tower. Or actually, I don't like the bble, let's call it the Babel Tower
because iirc tolkien never really fleshed it out beyond like ten words total and saying it uses semitic-style triliteral roots but it's also canonically something that aule personally made up and taught to the dwarves
There's a group of kids who sit behind me (both in first period and on the bus) who've somehow only just discovered Among Us and they play it all the time, very loudly
@RadvylfPrograms In the general sense, yeah, tin the same way. Not specifically aabout Among Us, but "sus" has been slang for "suspicious" since the 60s
Of all the things the devs of among us thought would happen, potentially permanently adding a word to the world's english vocabulary probably wasn't one of them
@forest Long story short: mobile social deduction game (Among Us) became very popular, and people, being lazy, abbreviated "I think that the Red player is suspicious" to "Red is sus"
@forest I'm pretty surprised you haven't come across "sus" before, I've never played Among Us but amogus memes were so widespread I still came across them pretty constantly (even offline)
Honestly, I'd love for someone to announce a talk on quantum cryptography, and just go "Honestly, it's all so random that we don't know shit about it. Boom, secure encryption"
1) far too practical for me, I want everything to be hidden behind 1000 layers of abstractions, and 2) it's become a bit of a buzzword (similar to "machine learning" or "blockchain")
@UnrelatedString Yes, PQC algorithms are algorithms that are not in the BQP (Bounded-error Quantum Polynomial time) complexity class and are thus immune to quantum computers. So things like NTRU as opposed to RSA.
a good amount of what we did there was revolving around quantum key distribution but still just using one time padding because of quantum computing breaking things like RSA and whatever
@cairdcoinheringaahing Reminds me of my new company that mints NFTs on the quantum blockchain using a machine learning smart contract invented by Elon Musk
@AidenChow i mean i mod messaged you to not bring it up publicly again instead of pinging you here but if you're going to thank me publicly then i might as well just say "you're welcome" publicly as well :P
you borrow it and sell it to someone else, and then if the price goes down you can buy it back for lower, thus earning the difference
the reason shorting is risky is because when you buy stocks normally you can only lose as much as you put in and nothing more, but if you short stocks you can go into theoretically unbounded debt
@cairdcoinheringaahing only if you're not rich enough
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you gave me $50 and said that I had to use it on some form of chance money increase, I'm not investing into stocks, I'm playing some poker :P
Exactly. I'm talking about the kind of trading that got super popular back in January, shorting socks and trading at crazy variations. I'd rather play poker (or even blackjack) than use those
My dad feels all smugly superior because he pays for some website thing that advertises it can predict how companies will do and which ones are the "next amazon" and stuff and I'm just like...if they really could do that they'd just invest in it themselves lol.
Yes and no - I'd use it to get basic definitions/theorems/properties, and anything I had to cite, I'd use Wikipedia for their sources (if I didn't have anything better)
