[astral dew]

I’ll submit a form yeah, but I doubt it carries any weight.However it doesn’t hurt to try

You’d just have to dm me ur contact info, like asap as my internship ends tomorrow

[honest spire]

how do u touch grass

@rustic topaz u move it ot hte max hepa

[white zinc]

would yall say leetcode premium amazon list is better for prepping for intern interviews or the leetcode bot here

ive noticed that the problem list differs quite a bit

[rustic topaz]

obviously you use a min and max heap, but how would you remove the windowStart from the heap

[honest spire]

hrt

[rustic topaz]

would you just check if it's in one of them

and delete it?

[honest spire]

do u know the answer

[rustic topaz]

no

😐

that's why I am askin]

@sinful locust yo n3

i got a question

[honest spire]

actually jane street

[tough ledge]

do we need a project for each of the questions for samsung

[rustic topaz]

for the sliding window median, how would you remove the windowstart's value when you slide it from the 2 heaps

[honest spire]

are the practices even accurate

tf

[rustic topaz]

lol

like

the window

[honest spire]

i got a 615 by solving just 4

[rustic topaz]

😦

[clever grail]

is it 849 (oops i saw above mb)

[rustic topaz]

???

[hallow scroll]

sliding window median isnt 2 heap problem

[honest spire]

this utuber said it was for some reason

i need to find soemone betert

[hallow scroll]

||monotonic stack||

[sinful locust]

#leetcode_discussion

[honest spire]

@sinful locust @hallow scroll said that the codesignal practices aren't accurate

is htis true

[hallow scroll]

I mean you can do that but it overcomplicates things for no reason

[rustic topaz]

Google

Oh

I was trying to go through the grokking

and get some practice in with two heaps 😦

[hallow scroll]

solve it that way then

[rustic topaz]

but kind of confused

[honest spire]

just use what jack said

[rustic topaz]

maybe mario juda knows

@gentle latch

how would you do it?

[tawny nimbus]

how hard is optiver oa for swe ?

[hallow scroll]

[soft basin]

number stream is different from array

[hallow scroll]

based juda

[rustic topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/pain-sad-anime-smoke-gif-20376521

[rustic topaz]

Not doing number stream?

[tawny nimbus]

based on what?

[honest spire]

the answers are usually garbo

that's just my opinon

[hallow scroll]

bro

[tawny nimbus]

how hard is optiver oa for swe

[hallow scroll]

its so simple

[honest spire]

actually

i dont' know how to search

[hallow scroll]

just use neetcode

watch neetcode

thats it

[rustic topaz]

neetcode has a solution with a stack

[honest spire]

neetcode doesn't have a video on that problem lmao

[rustic topaz]

😭

[hallow scroll]

thats legit how you get good at lc

[hallow scroll]

yes cuz thats the easiest way to solve it

[honest spire]

I DO IT FOR EVERY OTHER POBLEM

[hallow scroll]

yeah he does

[honest spire]

I WATCH EVERY NEETCODE VIDEO

except for this one

[rustic topaz]

I WATCH EVERY NEETCODE VIDEO

[honest spire]

[hallow scroll]

I think baller has taken it you can ask him

couple people got phone already

[rustic topaz]

you fell off lowkey

[tawny nimbus]

o

[honest spire]

hmm

[tawny nimbus]

was it hard tho

[honest spire]

can u explain more

[tawny nimbus]

q2

[honest spire]

ok got it

[tawny nimbus]

also how much time do u need to finish it by

[hallow scroll]

72 hours

[honest spire]

how about the problems

[tawny nimbus]

they give u 72 hours 💀

wait fr

[hollow sun]

did u submit more than once

[hallow scroll]

yeah lol

[tawny nimbus]

time doesnt matter?

[rustic topaz]

tthere is no stack and queue section on grokking 😦

[fading lion]

how to prep for amazon oa?

[hallow scroll]

i think it would probably look better if you finish it fast

but idk

[tawny nimbus]

oh

[rustic topaz]

don't

[hallow scroll]

do array and string problems

[tawny nimbus]

praying for optiver next summer

[hallow scroll]

[fading lion]

are leadership principles in the oa as well?

[sinful locust]

is it worse complexity

[honest spire]

o ye u already told me

[hallow scroll]

👎

[honest spire]

[hallow scroll]

uhhhhh

[sinful locust]

how would u use a stack

[rustic topaz]

did you do it with two heap?

[hallow scroll]

I dont think so

[sinful locust]

no i did it with balanced tree lmao

[rustic topaz]

two heap time complexitty is O(n*k)

[sinful locust]

sorted dict wins

its o(log n ) everything

[hallow scroll]

its sliding window median right

[rustic topaz]

yeh

[sinful locust]

yea for median

do u mean maximum

[rustic topaz]

yeah

[sinful locust]

wait max is the queue

[rustic topaz]

yeah

[hallow scroll]

oh lol

[sinful locust]

max can also be done with sorted dict

[rustic topaz]

what's the time complexity for max?

[fading lion]

🤔

[hallow scroll]

was thinking of maximum

[sinful locust]

for the queue or sorted dict?

[rustic topaz]

you can do sorted dict?

[hallow scroll]

whoopsies 😱

[sinful locust]

yes

[rustic topaz]

🤔

[sinful locust]

its nlogk i believe

[rustic topaz]

what about queue

[sinful locust]

hmm idk

[tawny nimbus]

qballer

[sinful locust]

queue either nk or n

[tawny nimbus]

is optiver oa hard

[sinful locust]

no

its vague

[tawny nimbus]

oh

u make ur own test cases?

[sinful locust]

and java annoying

yes

i thought of every possible test case for the tree one

[hollow sun]

Stop

[sinful locust]

i think

[tawny nimbus]

and u need to use java?

[sinful locust]

java or c# or c

[crisp berry]

Stop

[sinful locust]

go away

[tawny nimbus]

not c++?

[sinful locust]

listen to paper trail

[tawny nimbus]

bruh

[sinful locust]

don think so

[tawny nimbus]

bruhhh

java annoying

[sinful locust]

@hollow sun wait its :sadcat:????

@hearty river

its not :scgbigsad:???

:scgbigsad: is better

[hollow sun]

It’s both

[sinful locust]

cringe

swatch man

stop

[rustic topaz]

@hallow scroll how many questions have you done with two heaps?

I might not do it

since the solutions for them aren't popular only for one question

[clever grail]

i wonder if vcf could bypass cooldown

[sinful locust]

theres a few that are worth doing

but not much

top k is a better heap pattern , id focus on that if anything

[rustic topaz]

I've done the Find the Median of a Data Stream

that is easier

[sinful locust]

ok cool ,thats the clasic

[rustic topaz]

but

since the sliding window maxiumum

[sinful locust]

just use sorted dict

[rustic topaz]

i am ocnfused how to remove from the windowStart

[sinful locust]

:waz:

[rustic topaz]

aint sorted dict slower

[sinful locust]

or a tree works

[rustic topaz]

you gotta sort every window don't you?

[sinful locust]

nah its not

[rustic topaz]

TREE?

[sinful locust]

thats the issue with heaps

cause the remove search is linear in the order of k

[sinful locust]

no u dont

sorted dict == tree backed

so its o(log n) everything.

[rustic topaz]

🤔

[sinful locust]

no sorting needed

you can ge the max element in log n time

tree works too but degenerate possibility / not balanced

[rustic topaz]

but it's slower than monotonic queue right solution?

[sinful locust]

idk

whats monotonic time complexity

@rustic topaz

[hallow scroll]

ignore monotonic queue

thought you guys were talking about sliding window max

[sinful locust]

we are

[hallow scroll]

👀

[sinful locust]

mono barely comes up

[hallow scroll]

yea

[rustic topaz]

We are

[sinful locust]

sorted dict is goated

or just do 2 heaps

[rustic topaz]

is 2 heaps worth doing other than the find medium from data stream?

[rustic topaz]

🤔

[sinful locust]

meh

[hallow scroll]

Don’t ask me im not good at leetcode

[sinful locust]

do a few others

thers not much 2 heaps

[rustic topaz]

Don't you have slack, salesforces, and amazon offers

😐

[sinful locust]

2 heaps can be bypassed by balanced tree

because heaps are worse than trees

[rustic topaz]

I should've taken dsa course earlier

😭

[sinful locust]

still linear search

[sinful locust]

r u taking it now?

[rustic topaz]

no

i am goin to take it

but it's gonna be too late till amazon and c1 interiew

😐

[sinful locust]

c1 is easy

amazon idk

[rustic topaz]

did u do it?

[sinful locust]

didnt u say u took amazon oa for fun or smth

[rustic topaz]

c1

[sinful locust]

u got interview?

yea did c1 final today

[rustic topaz]

😮

can you give me insight what happened

iam down for an internship 😦

[sinful locust]

case interview - very basic analysis

tech interview - lc med ish , just know hashmaps

behavioral interview - 3 STAR questions

[clever grail]

it was nepotism

cuz he's jack harlow

[sinful locust]

STOOPPP

[rustic topaz]

wym?

[clever grail]

JACKKKK

[sinful locust]

STOOOPP

[clever grail]

stoop

[sinful locust]

MAXIMAL RECTANGLE

goku please just watch the video that they send the prep video

its exactly liek that

tru

lmao

[clever grail]

codepath momen

t

[sinful locust]

loool

[rustic topaz]

bro you said no lc and he said there is lc

i am confused

[crisp berry]

tbh

[rustic topaz]

@sinful locust

[sinful locust]

bro

its always different

for diff recruiters

[rustic topaz]

😂

[sinful locust]

lc medish means that difficuty

it is not an lc problem

[rustic topaz]

oh

😮

[crisp berry]

i feel like so many graph questions are labelled medium which shouldn't be

[sinful locust]

my bad for being not cclear

[sinful locust]

should be what then

easy?

[crisp berry]

like so many of these are just "implement dfs or bfs"

easy

[sinful locust]

the thing is cap1 literally gives away their case interview contents and tech interview difficulty

[rustic topaz]

nah but i wanna as prepared as possible. I really need an internship

[crisp berry]

a lot of them are just the same thing

[sinful locust]

true

[sinful locust]

then get off here and work for it

[crisp berry]

https://leetcode.com/problems/number-of-connected-components-in-an-undirected-graph/

[sinful locust]

thats easy af

u gotta grind

[crisp berry]

i dont think this should be labelled medium

or number of islands

[sinful locust]

its just bfs

[crisp berry]

which is the same thing

[sinful locust]

and adding 1

lmao

[crisp berry]

yes

they should be labelled easy

[rustic topaz]

i am 😦

[crisp berry]

unless it actually has a twist

[sinful locust]

stupid visited set takes care of all

[crisp berry]

thats non trivial

true

[heavy magnet]

bro i can do that ezz but fk up easy codesignal 🤦‍♂️

[rustic topaz]

I always come to a dillemma, and than confused

[sinful locust]

codesignal is rng

[sinful locust]

💀💀

i got maximal sum of rotated rectangle

control w

[hallow scroll]

You overthink things too much

[sinful locust]

yeah

just do grind420

and take the interview

altf4 applied today

yes

altf4 process your shit

in the channel

stop

[rustic topaz]

he said he got amazon already

[sinful locust]

where

[sinful locust]

where

and 5r phone

nah i got offers

a while back

i think this has been mentioned before but do u compile and run code in amazon final?

[hallow scroll]

Nope

[sinful locust]

u click run

oh bruh this just stack ish i think right

just stack and everytime you pop smth off you add 1

?

[sinful locust]

i think divide works too right

@wise ferry do this one

https://leetcode.com/problems/generate-parentheses/

this one is fun

cool backtracking

@queen raven do this too

its ok

[hallow scroll]

Largest rectangle in histogram is cool

[soft basin]

fuck that question

[sinful locust]

lies

is that mono stack

next greatest or smth

[hallow scroll]

Nah but I feel like it’s a good stack problem to set you up for most stack problems

[sinful locust]

k

[sinful locust]

stop editing shit

[hallow scroll]

A lot of stack qs basically just add stack while loop

[sinful locust]

🤡

[sinful locust]

u good at lc bruh

dont doubt urself

[hallow scroll]

I brain fart in interviews

[sinful locust]

bruh why u doing this

[soft basin]

ur better than a lot of us god

[sinful locust]

werent u literally stressed af about cap 1 interviw

[rustic topaz]

You right

ima go

😭

[hallow scroll]

Idea of it isn’t bad but implementing is hard

Imo

[sinful locust]

nahh, havent done enough oas to feel confident

i got railed by snowflake

in june

felt like shit

he’s editing shit

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[soft basin]

ive flunked more than 70% of my oas

[sinful locust]

BRUH WHAT YALL ON

W

nice about me bruh

i feel it

100%

@sinful locust give me another goku dm

there’s too many

[fickle drift]

"how do you make a minheap" 😂

[rustic topaz]

We need more women basketball player

bring her back!!!

[neon junco]

Is Optiver auto send OA ?

Or resume filter?

Bet bout to apppy

Apply

SWE not quant^^

[pseudo shoal]

it’s auto, but after oa is resume screen

[sinful locust]

isnt heapq already min heap? so u put negative for maxheap?

[honest spire]

wait

gjjj

wut

nothing ahppne

d

[rustic topaz]

Yea

I was just confused when I messaged him

i was tryna ask for max heap

[sinful locust]

[rustic topaz]

https://leetcode.com/problems/sliding-window-median/ how would you do this question luffy

[marsh saddle]

Lc hard damn

[rustic topaz]

I am thinkin you can use two heaps

but I cant think of a way to remove the windowStart

🤔

[marsh saddle]

Ive done this one a while back

[rustic topaz]

Really?

[marsh saddle]

I think the way I did it was to look at each subarray and then find the median within that and append it to a list

[naive kayak]

I think that's there on neetcode

[rustic topaz]

it's not

that's maximum not median

[marsh saddle]

Prob not opitmal cuz there aer people who did n log k

[rustic topaz]

the maximum is lot easier with monotonic decreasing queue

[honest spire]

i wish neetcode was more optimal

[rustic topaz]

idk, but I think it's two heap , which is n * k

[rustic topaz]

it is?

[honest spire]

ye but

even more

[rustic topaz]

do you want a private tutoring or something

😐

[honest spire]

actually i might be asking too much

[honest spire]

time to make my own leetcode tutorials

[rustic topaz]

🤔

[honest spire]

it's so hot

goddam

[sinful locust]

y u still on that prob

😭

[rustic topaz]

I just did the maaximum question

[sinful locust]

DUCC

STOP LURKING

ducc be lurking

gotta watch out

[rustic topaz]

I hate the neetcode videos sometimes where he makes the code way too complicated

[honest spire]

i agree

we should make beter videos

i think i may know how to do it but idk

[rustic topaz]

Why are you doing DP hard

lmao

wtf baller

[sinful locust]

i knew it was dp

stop telling

3d dp i think

[rustic topaz]

3d dp????

[sinful locust]

wait its seg tree?

o

oh yea

yo send link to a good place to read on seg trees

its super common in cp

ty bro

yo this is super detailed, nice

this website is such a classic

they've made the ui so much nicer

back in the day it looked like shit

is that harder than range minimum

idt ive seen that

oh ok

oh yea binary

[rustic topaz]

why doesn't grokking have 1 heap questions

wtf

[sinful locust]

top k bro

[clever grail]

back in the day i learned russian

[rustic topaz]

it's not on grokking

[sinful locust]

it is

idk what ur looking at

[rustic topaz]

@sinful locust

only two heaps

[sinful locust]

oh yeah

this is educative right

bro i said Top K element

its there

educative is cracked

theres some github

or u buy

baller put me on

tbh i think 60 per year is not bad educative has tons of stuff

[rustic topaz]

Which section is it on?

[sinful locust]

scroll up i said it

[sinful locust]

yeah SD too

SD, databse design, and more

ood

[sinful locust]

refer me to notion

[rustic topaz]

I am sorry

[sinful locust]

it’s fine

[royal sail]

Did not realize there were 2 pets to the Amazon oa lmao

[sinful locust]

💀💀

[royal sail]

Caught me by surprise

[rustic topaz]

bro blocked me fr

[sinful locust]

nah i unblocked

just wanted to see

[rustic topaz]

@sinful locust how do you use grokking?

[sinful locust]

u do the questions

u read it

[rustic topaz]

like do you do the problem then read the thing?

[sinful locust]

aight good night

im out

[rustic topaz]

bruh

[sinful locust]

LOL

aight

[rustic topaz]

was askin him how he uses it perosnally

[sinful locust]

u read it and do the problem

i don’t think there’s any other way to do it

[sinful locust]

i solve the questions

.

LMAO

[rustic topaz]

then read?

[sinful locust]

no

yes

dude u read

[rustic topaz]

ok

[sinful locust]

before dont u

the context

then after too

[rustic topaz]

bro

[sinful locust]

idfk what that means but ok

[rustic topaz]

??/

[sinful locust]

@rustic topaz

[rustic topaz]

ima go back to doin heaps

[sinful locust]

@rustic topaz bro i think u should just focus on YOurself and study instead of asking so many questions that u can figure out by learning yourself LMAO

are u ok?

[sinful locust]

thanks for saying it

[rustic topaz]

you're right

[sinful locust]

mf aint studied before

bruh

[sinful locust]

theres no one right way to do anything, just do something that works for u, only way u find that is if u actually do it lmao

[rustic topaz]

nah but, I did the blind 75, felt like i didn't learn so I am just asking

[sinful locust]

oh u did it

then self reflect

nice

or evaluate

then do more man

or whatever

ILAILA spitting fax

or find it to do stjff more effectively

[rustic topaz]

😐

[sinful locust]

like questions are good and everyone wants to help here

but u straight up asking stuff that u can just do on your own

[rustic topaz]

😢

[sinful locust]

also dont ask anyone whats a perfect way to do something

i think it’s because the hardest thing is getting started

just be consistent and you got this

blueface baby

[rustic topaz]

its not for me

but

i feel like the way i am learning is ass

so I am askin how other people do it

maybe it might optimize my learning

[upbeat cradle]

spend like 10 minutes on that max

otherwise you'll waste time trying to be optimal

[sinful locust]

get a piece of paper and write down whay you’ve done so far the good and the bad

target your weak spots

[soft basin]

bruv leetcode is makin me wanna quit

im so tired of this bs

[real sedge]

Make sure to take breaks

[soft basin]

i just started tonight

i got off work and made dinner

[real sedge]

Yeah it sucks

[sinful locust]

generally for OAs, should you prioritize code cleaniness/runtimes or correctness (passing test cases)

[real sedge]

Correctness, then try improving runtime

[sinful locust]

like im thinking if it passes the cases, wouldnt u pass screening

its not like HR can read code

[rustic topaz]

was the k closest points to origin easy for y'all?

[real sedge]

Did u take the Sentry oa?

[soft basin]

most of that shit is automated

[sinful locust]

☠️

[real sedge]

Was i rite?

[sinful locust]

ye my code was spaghetti af

but passed

[real sedge]

I had da same thot lol

I passed with an O(n^3) solution

But was able to improve it to an O(n)

[sinful locust]

howd u do O(n)

[real sedge]

Trie

[sinful locust]

howd u have time for that

tf

[real sedge]

I finished the O(n^3) soln in like 20min

This is y Java is da best lang for lc 💪

[sinful locust]

ill dm u

[real sedge]

No

No i was jokin

Java is horribl for lc

But I use it

It is

Don't try and gaslight me

If I'm recommending a lang it's always gonna by Python

If I didn't use Java for a year of practicing lc I woud use Python

[honest spire]

Python got better resources

C++ better for hft

[rustic topaz]

@real sedge should I expect tries in interviews?

or na?

[real sedge]

Mayb idk

I haven't interviewed that much tbh

Like only at 10 companies

Tries r my fav data structure

[soft basin]

tries arent too bad

im learning kahns rn

i cant believe my uni didnt teach it

it was briefly covered for like a week

yeah

we only covered dp for 2 weeks 😭

naw normally at my school its covered for a month

our class was rushed towards the end

we covered divide and conquer for a week

[hallow scroll]

I didn’t even cover DP

I don’t even know it

[soft basin]

i still dont know it

ik masters theorem better than divide and conquer

[long slate]

What topics did u guys do in algos

[hallow scroll]

I failed google cuz of dp tho

Yeah probably will

[soft basin]

we covered this in addition to some new data structures

[long slate]

I learned dp before my algos class

[soft basin]

like skip lists and red black trees

[long slate]

It was actually hacks

[hallow scroll]

The most advanced thing my dsa class did was stacks 💀💀

We didn’t go into trees or graphs

[soft basin]

all ik is in our algo class we spent way too long on red black trees

[hallow scroll]

Yeah it is lol

[soft basin]

and i remembered none of it

[hallow scroll]

It’s not

I think it was cuz of covid and my professor didn’t know how to professor

Not really don’t think

It’s like ranked 200 in CS lol

Or 100 something like that

[soft basin]

my school is so mediocre in cs

the only exception is the programming team

somethin like that

its ucf 😎

[hallow scroll]

Yeah, maybe if I had another professor it wouldn’t have been as bad but nothing stuck in DSA and I had to self teach afterwards

[soft basin]

i preferred online bc i didnt have to pay attention to get an A

our dept gatekeeps cs with a dumb exam

and our first programming course is in C which sucks

it should be in python

[stark basin]

that is pretty screwed up

[soft basin]

i didnt struggle with it at all but a lot of ppl did

i had prior java exp

[stark basin]

literally useless

[soft basin]

before c it was pascal 💀

[hallow scroll]

My school do Java

[soft basin]

ucf is C->Java

[sinful locust]

Rice is Python then Java then cpp

[stark basin]

Python weeds out the extremely weak
you get to see if you're actually cut out for CS once you get to algorithms and data structures and it's all C++

which I think it's a good thing since I think everyone should at least learn a little bit about programming but not everyone should be a programmer

[sinful locust]

Well, Python and c at the same time

[soft basin]

starting with C is one of the worst ideas

[karmic sedge]

I think my school does most cs classes in c++

[hallow scroll]

That’s true, but those intro classes unironically weed a lot of people out

[soft basin]

python is a good beginner lang

and after u understand python C would make sense

[hallow scroll]

I know so many people who switched majors after intro to cs 😭

One of my friends dropped out of college as a whole

Java

[stark basin]

yeah our first intro class makes you write 2048 the game

which is from what I've heard from my friend at stanford
is very tame

[hallow scroll]

It wasn’t even that bad it’s just crazy how people just be quitting

[stark basin]

they literally had you doing LC medium problems in your second intro CS course at stanford

[hallow scroll]

😳

[hallow scroll]

That’s rough

[stark basin]

not if you've programmed before

but this is
6, 7 weeks into your first time programming

[hallow scroll]

In comparison to my schools education it’s crazy yeah

[rustic topaz]

Why

Cs is ez

[soft basin]

i wanna quit now cuz of lc

fuck leetcode

[hallow scroll]

My school holds your hand and gives you piss easy labs

Like insert into a queue with test cases that’s it

[rustic topaz]

Fax

[stark basin]

to be fair
it's stanford

[hallow scroll]

Doing LC during cs classes sounds fun

[stark basin]

i feel like we're all biased cause we're all basically wired for CS in some way
but after doing tutoring for a couple of years, I can say for certain that not everybody is wired for CS
actually most people aren't

concepts are a lot harder to conceive

[hallow scroll]

Yeah

People here represent the sweats and we’ve all done leetcode so it’s like second nature for us

[rustic topaz]

Why do people quit after intro to cs or dsa course?

I’ve heard so many people fail dsa and quitting

[stark basin]

our 3rd course is generally the gatekeeper
data structures and algorithms and shit get introduced then

you don't just write a book system or story game anymore

[soft basin]

our first algorithms assignment was 2sum 🤣

[rustic topaz]

Double for loop?

[stark basin]

I feel like double for loop would be acceptable and then there's just a fine print hint at the bottom like
"Can you do it with only one loop?"

[soft basin]

it was both parts combined into one 2sum lmao

so with one we had a sorted array and one we didnt

[hallow scroll]

1 point for double for loops 99 points for 1 for loop

[stark basin]

man doing CS at CMU

[stark basin]

backwards

[hallow scroll]

👀

[soft basin]

usf 🤢

[rustic topaz]

Do they make you do proof in dsa?

[hallow scroll]

Columbiaaaaaaaa

[stark basin]

no that's in our Boolean Algebra and Logic courses

which is also first quarter

[rustic topaz]

Well I did that but talking about regular dsa

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I took logic second year

[stark basin]

I don't think you need to prove regular DSA besides master theorem here

oh and recursion

yeah

APCS

🥲

I tutored two of my classmates APCS for weeks
my throat was fucking raw

they got 2 and 3

[rustic topaz]

What is a call stack

[stark basin]

I blame myself

[hearty river]

YOUR THROAT WAS RAW

@stark basin

[soft basin]

ngl my school didnt teach recursion well

[stark basin]

[soft basin]

i still suck at recursion

[stark basin]

none they were my friends

[soft basin]

i would never charge my friends

[hallow scroll]

[soft basin]

i see why u have no friends

i need to relax with some weed

im getting so close to this amazon final and i cannot leetcode anymore

[hallow scroll]

he only strives for abstract ideas in life like money and success

[stark basin]

one of those friends still fuckin owes me
case western sent me an email like "hey we waived your application fee come apply", I checked it out, and you didn't even have to write essays just multiple choice
I told friends to apply cause why not

[hallow scroll]

anything else is trivial

[stark basin]

case western ended up being by far the best school he got in

[hallow scroll]

💯

[stark basin]

YEA

HE GETS SO MUCH MORE SCHOLARSHIP THAN ME

WHAT THE FUCK

too much

[hallow scroll]

-1000

[stark basin]

state pays if you're from that state

[hallow scroll]

infact I get paid to go to school

[stark basin]

my cali friends bascially pay nothing to go to college

I pay like 45k/y

[soft basin]

yall pay a fuck ton jesus christ

tuition here is only 2.8k avg

[hallow scroll]

yeah my financial aid covers everything and I also get extra money left over

[stark basin]

I have 0 EFC and the government was like
oh wow that the lowest you can get
here's 6k a year

[soft basin]

but my scholarship covers everything

[stark basin]

fuck you america

[soft basin]

2.8k per semester

[stark basin]

i pretend I do not see

[soft basin]

its like 212 per credit hour

fl uni is relatively cheap

[stark basin]

the only good thing is that I'm scamming the cali government for grocery money

[soft basin]

u havent scammed them enough

[hallow scroll]

yeah facts bro is cracked

[stark basin]

they think i'm paying for my apartment

so they pay for my groceries

[royal sail]

How long does it ussally take to get a response after amazon oa?

[stark basin]

no my grandparents live here

they're paying for now

[rustic topaz]

10 days

[hallow scroll]

can be fast like 1-2 days or kinda like like 1-2 weeks

[stark basin]

I have family all over

it's pretty wild

parents at taiwan

uncle at japan

[soft basin]

[stark basin]

East China

[soft basin]

[stark basin]

[soft basin]

naw thats all south

fl has way more

fl has more incest cases than alabama 😭

[hallow scroll]

where I live theres the "city radius" where all the young people are but the second you go too far out you start seeing hillbillys with questionable things on their houses

[stark basin]

[soft basin]

its just fl headlines have so many "fl man" that the incest part is ignored

unfortunately im a fl man 😔

[hallow scroll]

florida moment

florida probably has the most everything

[stark basin]

florida law allows those headlines there's actually florida men in every state

[hallow scroll]

florida man

[soft basin]

fuck florida tho

its so fucking hot and the transportation sucks here

which is why im on copium to secure amazon or c1

[stark basin]

only went to florida for universal studios

[soft basin]

its more of the humidity

[stark basin]

was pretty nice

[hallow scroll]

florida is too humid for me I visited orlando and the second I got out the hotel my glasses fogged up

[soft basin]

i go outside one second and i breathe in water

florida humidity is so bad

[stark basin]

you're gonna hate Taiwan then

[soft basin]

[hallow scroll]

yeah and also 2-3 feet of snow around your tires and them getting stuck in the snow every 2 minutes

[soft basin]

ive never seen snow

the worst ive gotten is ice on my windshield in the morning

[hallow scroll]

its cool for like a day

but living with it often is probably a hassle

[stark basin]

cause you can always put on more layers but you can't strip off your skin

yellow snow

[hallow scroll]

thats true, cold wether 100% better then hot wether

[stark basin]

[hallow scroll]

100 degree summers
