I have a dumb idea for a gag-character but I still want it to be somewhat useful in a party.
Inspired by my dad (he was a cantor for the synagogue I grew up going to), I want to create “Shabbat the Gnome,” a play-on-words for the greeting “Shabbat Shalom” used during the sabbath.
I’m not sure if I should make him a Cleric or Paladin (maybe Druid?), but I definitely want to multi-class into bard at some point for the singing. The DM is using the pantheon from Dragonlance, but the world is mostly Forgotten Realms-ish (it will change more as the campaign goes on I’ve been told).
Things I want my character to be able to do: fire spells and/or light spells, wine-related powers (not sure if this is a thing in D&D), and something involving challah (braided bread).
I know part of Shabbat’s backstory will be about him abandoning his twin brother Havdalah after hearing a prophecy saying that one was destined to destroy the other.
I’m joining a bit late in the campaign, so everyone else is 2nd level while I’m currently still 1st level.
I’m having trouble figuring out what combination of Subrace, Domain, Background, and Feat would give my party the best advantage. They don’t have a healer right now, so I’m hoping to fill some of that role as well. When rolling my ability scores, which should I prioritize?
Other things I’m struggling to decide on: Features, Traits, Ideal, Bond, Flaw.

Let’s begin with Lua’s fundamentals.
Introduction Lua is a lightweight, high-performance scripting language that has become popular for embedded use in applications. Originally created in 1993 at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Lua was designed to be a highly customizable, procedural scripting language well-suited for embedding in other programs.
With its efficient C implementation, simple syntax, and extensible semantics, Lua has found wide use in game development, robotics, IoT, networking, and many other industrial applications. Let’s take a deeper look at what makes Lua such a versatile embedded scripting tool.
Key Features and Strengths Lua was engineered for efficient extensibility and embedding. Some of its key strengths and capabilities include:

• Speed and efficiency — Thecompact C implementation makes Lua fast and memory-efficient. Theinterpreters and JIT compilers produce highly optimized bytecode.
• Portability — Lua code can be built and run across various platforms like Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android etc. This flexibility is powered by its ANSI C codebase.
• Embeddability — Lua is implemented as a library rather than a standalone interpreter. This allows it to be deeply integrated and heavily customized within host applications.
• Extensibility — Lua semantics are extensible with mechanisms like metatables. Numerous modules and libraries extend the core language capabilities.
• Simple but powerful syntax and semantics — Lua uses an easy to learn procedural syntax with advanced construct like first-class functions, closures and prototypal inheritance.
• Automatic memory management — Lua features incremental garbage collection which makes memory management seamless.
• Lightweight open source implementation — The reference implementation is open source and usable in any free or commercial application.

Applications and Uses With its fast performance and tiny resource footprint,Lua has been embedded into software across domains including:

• Gaming — Roblox, Angry Birds, World of Warcraft, Garry’s Mod all use Lua for game logic.
• IoT and Robotics — Open source devices like NodeMCU and ESP32 integrate Lua for control.
• Networking — The Nginx web server and Cisco routers use Lua for configuration and scripting.
• Artificial Intelligence — Deep learning frameworks like Torch use Lua as a configuration language.
• Industrial Control Systems — Siemens incorporates Lua for programmable logic controllers.
• Space Science — Celestia space simulator uses Lua for its celestia script extensions.

Syntax and Coding Basics Lua syntax is simpleprocedural, similar to languages like Python. Some key aspects include:

• Dynamic typing — Variables are not declared with type, their type is determined at runtime.
• Tables as data structuring mechanism — Tables serve as arrays, sets, records similar to dicts in Python.
• Functions are first-class — Functions can be stored in variables, passed as arguments.
• Simple control flow — If/else, while, repeat until are used for flow control.
• Error handling via pcall() and assert()
• Global variables by default — Variables are global unless declared local.

Development Environment and Tools Lua is highly portable across platforms. The standard Lua binaries, compiler, interpreter and debuggerareavailable for installation on Windows, Linux, macOS and other environments. Some commonly usedLua development toolsinclude:

• LuaRocks — package manager for Lua modules
• Editors like VSCode, Atom, Sublime — with Lua plugins
• ZeroBrane Studio — debugger and IDE for Lua
• LÖVE — framework for building Lua-based games

Here is a simple code snippet showing Lua syntax:
Code:
function factorial(n) if n == 0 then return 1 else return n * factorial(n — 1) end end print(factorial(5)) — 120
This implements a factorial functionrecursively, calls it, and prints the result.
Pros and Cons of Lua Some pros and cons to consider when evaluating Lua:
Pros:

• Very fast and memory-efficient
• Easy to learn syntax and coding style
• Highly portable and customizable
• Active community with many libraries

Cons:

• Not suitable for large applications
• Very minimal standard libraries
• Unique syntax and a small user base

Lua is an extensible, embeddable scripting language that offers simplicity, speed, and customizability. Itsefficient C implementation and flexible semantics make Lua a great choice for extending applications across gaming, networking, robotics, AI, and industrial control systems. While not suited for large general purpose applications, Lua excels as a lightweight scripting solution easily tailored to specific use cases. Its vibrant community provides modules for diverse programming needs ranging from GUI interfaces to neural networks. Forembedded scripting, Lua provides an agile, productive, and high-performance option

I like to imagine beings from the Cthulhu Mythos like the Eldrazi or Yog-Sothoth being found in the Phlogiston while creatures like the Byakhee could be found within both the Phlogiston and Wildspace. The Mi-go could be a mysterious faction with unknown goals while the Elder Things are a faction that wants to destroy all other sapient creatures. Shub-Niggurath randomly spawns monsters such as oozes, shoggoths, stirges, chools, mooncalves, lurkers, gibbering mouthers, darkenbeasts, grell and gricks. It would be cool having a villain in an adventure that was a death domain cleric of Azathoth.
The Vulture Lions from the Melnibonean Mythos could be a possible summon.
I followed the steps from an article on adapting a few creatures but I feel that it's a bit off.
I was thinking the Vulture Lions would be fiends with an armor class of 17, 3 attacks per turn, 68 hit points, intelligence of 7, large size and magic resistance, keen smell, pack tactics and immunity to fear. They have a walking speed of 75 ft and a swimming speed of 150 ft.
Deep Ones are aberrations with an armor class of 16, 2 attacks per turn, 18 hit points, intelligence ranging from 8-12 and medium size. They have a walking speed of 60 ft and a swimming speed of 120 ft.
The Mi-Go are aberrations with an armor class of 15, 2 attacks per turn, 23 hit points, intelligence 12, medium to large size, immunity to suffocation, cold and necrotic damage and innate spellcasting (psionics). They have a walking speed of 75 ft and a flying speed of 150 ft.
Elder Things are aberrations with an armor class of 13, 3 attacks per turn, 36 hit points, intelligence 14, large size, immunity to fire and cold damage and innate spellcasting (psionics). They have a walking speed of 90 ft and a flying speed of 60 ft.
Byakhee are aberrations with an armor class of 10, 2 attacks per turn, 45 hit points, intelligence 10 and large size. They have a walking speed of 30 ft and a flying speed of 120 ft and they can fly at spelljamming speeds.
Shoggoths are aberrations with an armor class of 18, 2 attacks per turn, 90 hit points, intelligence 7, large size and immunity to paralysis and charmed status effects and magic resistance. They have a walking speed of 45 ft and a swimming speed of 90 ft.

In Canada...
I have a good, 8-letter .com domain that's an excellent brand match for a project I'd like to start working on.
I've been considering filing for a trademark for a few years, but I don't know if it's smart or stupid to file for a trademark in Canada before I've used the name commercially. There are a few specific things I don't understand.
Can I register a trademark under my personal name and transfer it to a company in the future? Easily? I've read that it can be complicated.
If I have a product that falls under a specific class (42) and it fails, can I use my trademark to fallback to offering services in the same class?
Do I need to worry about front-runners? I'm worried that filing for a trademark in Canada might be nothing more than a signal to bad actors that could use a more streamlined process to usurp a decent sounding tech name. Is that paranoia or a legit concern? When I search trademark databases I see all kinds of ridiculous things like people trying to trademark terms like "Nike" for obscure classes.
Can I buy my way out of the slow process in the future by setting up the right corporate structure in another country? What would that look like and (roughly) what kind of money would be involved?
My biggest concern is the delay in the Canadian trademark system. My normal thought process says that it's dumb to think about trademarks without having a concrete plan for getting to a sellable product, but the backlog worries me. I know there are efforts to clear the backlog and I think my project would be on the pick-list allowing for expediated processing (if they implemented that).
I'm not looking for concrete advice. I'll find a lawyer to ask if I need that. I'm more interested in opinions. The project I have planned is a bit of a long shot, but it's something I can mostly build on my own, so the bulk of the cost is my time.
I guess the biggest thing for me is I wonder if I'm at a disadvantage if I don't have a ton of money to throw at trademarks. How much does the system favor people / busineses where money isn't an issue? Am I stupid if I try to get a basic trademark without any kind of corporate structure or the ability to file in multiple juristictions?
It basically comes down to spending on marketing vs trademarking. There's no point in having a trademark for a DOA product, right? To give a hypothetical number, say you had $10k to promote a product. Would you spend $2k on trademarks?
Also, there's no way I could afford to defend a trademark at the moment, so does that generally make it a bad idea?

In Active Directory, the User class has an attribute named 'lastLogoff' (right next to 'lastlogon' and 'lastlogontimestamp'). While the logon-related attributes are filled with useful info, every account in our domain has either a '0' or a blank field for 'lastLogoff'. Any idea what those two values mean and why we only have two, when we have hundreds of unique 'lastlogon' values? Is something not configured or working right in our domain? I find it hard to believe nobody has ever logged off in 20+ years.

Good Day All,
Thinking of multiclass options for an Archer (Longbow) HW Ranger. Obviously, because of the Bonus action need around Planar Warrior, looking into options that compliment outside of that. I play an Astral Elf Horizon Walker that has been smooth with Archer related feats.
Given that it is a Martial, Dex, Wis, based subclass those that would compliment best would be Fighters (Arcane Archer, Rune Knight, & Champion), Cleric (Moon Domain, Twilight, Knowledge, & Life), Druid (Shepard), and Rogue (Phantom, Assassin, Arcane Trickster, Scout, & Swashbuckler). Many of these either add spell slots and spells for added utility, add to the thematic feel of Planar Energies and can be re-flavored, add to crit potential, mobility (outside of teleporting in combat) or simply more damage.
This would be only a 5 Level Dip. Why? Because all the benefits of being in this class are gained by level 15. 5 Level Grace to add a little bump of versatility, damage, and RPG along the way.
Not looking for an haterrade towards the subclass, I have loved playing and will continue, just curious if anyone else has and what combination of the above was experienced?

Introduction

There was a post that was recently posted and it's been asked a ton: "How do I get a computer science related job after I graduate from KSU?". I thought I'd share this with everyone because I've been down this path and managed to make it on the other side. This will be a long explanation and hopefully, can serve as some sort of guide for students. That being said, things are subjective and this is not the holy grail of how to make it. You might find all, some or none of it useful. I encourage testimonials and whatnot in the comments. Can be applied to all majors but, this primary for technology-based majors since I am in tech field. YMMV

About Me

I've been around here for a while. I was a student not too long ago, studied computer science for my bachelors. After graduating, I work in FAANG and have worked in big tech for a while. No, I don't work at Amazon. I am a senior software engineer. I touch frontend & backend technologies. I participate in hiring frequently.

Starting Out

Over the years and while attending here, there's been a weird disconnect between students, goals and how to achieve them in tech. Goals can be anywhere from learning new technologies, getting internships to securing a full time job before or after you graduate. As much as I would love for there to be a path where you can do minimum effort and still succeed, there isn't. A lot of you seem to not realize that. Getting a degree in this field is not enough. Doing projects that show no passion / interests is not enough. Being stuck on tutorials for years is not enough.
This field is much like a sport. There are very few people that can just be great without any effort. You have to be consistent. Four years is not a lot of time. It goes by super fast. If you constantly push things back and you do not take the time to learn the fundamentals outside the classroom, you will not succeed in this field. This field is at a point where there's so many of you. Every post on LinkedIn and news articles said "hey, this field is a gold mine and you'll make six figures out the gate". For a time, maybe that was somewhat true. As of writing this, it's not. You're going against people who have: better schools, better experience, etc. You have to find a way to diversify yourself early. If you can't diversify, you're going to be in a tough place later down the road. Knowledge not something you can just consume in less than an hour and pass an interview. You have to know it well. If you don't, there's someone else who will.
There's an interesting connotation in life that you're either born super smart or an absolute idiot and that you have to be smart to do computer science / programming. There are people with raw IQ that can consume things like no one you've ever met but, that's such a rarity that there's no realistic use in using that as a data point. If you ever took the time to ask someone who you thought was really good at something, they would tell you something along the lines of: I love what I do and I spent a lot of time doing this. There are hours and hours of time people put into passions that you don't / will never see. Meaning that they can no-life this shit for days on end and still come back and do it some more. It doesn't mean that you can't succeed if don't do that but, computing / programming is a very boring field if you do not enjoy it. I would seriously contemplate why you're going through this. If you're doing it for money and only money, you're going to end up miserable. No amount of money can make you do something you hate. It'll wear you down both mentally and physically. If you're doing this because it's a mix of passion and money, you're like everyone else and you gave yourself a better shot. It's a mental thing. Don't climb uphill if you rather sit at the bottom. Don't complain if you're at the bottom and you rather be at the top. There's nothing wrong with that. But, don't do it. For what it's worth, I am not the smartest person. I graduated high school with a low GPA and took college seriously because I wanted to do more with my life. Plus, being on hourly forever sounds horrible imo. Use the opportunities that life has given to you and run with it. Run far, run smart and run in a direction that you can see yourself going long-term.
Additionally, college is what you make of it. Blaming professors or the program (while I do agree sometimes) is not a solution. Blaming professors that don't speak English is a cop out. If you work in tech, you'll be interacting with a lot of people from other countries. Suck it up. Work with it instead of against it. Professors and TAs can only teach you so much. Classes are meant to give you a taste of what it's like in that domain / space. It's not meant to fix all your issues and show you the way. That's for you to do on your own time. Take accountability of your own success, explore the internet (it's free) and lock in. Stop looking for opportunities to find you. Actively seek them out yourself.

Networking

Make connections with people. I cannot stress how important this is. Especially on the Marietta campus, there's a lot of you that go to class, stingers / food, run to class and immediately start gaming and think that when your classes are over, you're done for the day. That's a bad mindset. Make connections with people. Sit with random people at stingers or wherever. Have a conversation. Find a common interest. Don't harass men / women for a date while you're at it. Keep it cool. A lot of people say "there's nothing to do at KSU and there's no life on campus". That's not true at all. It's true if you choose to put your head in a box and refuse to look up. Join a club that interests you. Get close to the people in that club who actively attend and build a personal relationship. If there's no club with your interest, make a club. Fuck it, lead one. You can make one officially through KSU or add a discord server to the student hub and go from there. You'll meet some really cool like-minded people. Lots of my connections have come from randomly showing up to a club, getting out of my comfort zone and weirdly enjoying it.

Interviewing

Brush up on your interview skills. Technical and behavioral abilities matter. Culture fit matters. A lot of you seem to walk around with almost zero personal hygiene. Clean yourself up, practice talking to people and get places. There's been this stigma that culture fit doesn't matter as much as technical and if I have great technical abilities, they'll just accept me. I can tell you for an absolutely fact that I have thrown out / tossed out resumes from highly technical individuals that had zero people skills. If you can't communicate and clean up, you're more of a risk than someone who does all those things and has a bit less technical ability. I can teach someone how to code. I can't teach someone how to take a shower or brush their teeth. Know more than just Leetcode. Learn system design. Take a course / watch a video on Linux and bash. Do not be afraid of the command line interface. Understand how things work at a deeper level. Take feedback seriously. Do not argue with people. If you future manager / colleague tells you that you need to work on things, work on those things. There's nothing worse than a co-worker in denial.

Jobs

As for internships and full time opportunities, there's a few classes at KSU that you really want to master: Data structures, Algorithm Analysis, Operating Systems and Discrete math. If you're in a major that doesn't have those classes, spend the extra money and take those classes. Do not take them online if you can afford to come in person. Take the hardest / best professors for those courses. Super important. Leetcode is quite literally, those classes merged together in a prompt-style format. If you do not understand those concepts, you will not make it in this field let alone pass an interview loop.
Data Structures - Varies. Rate my professor.
Algorithm Analysis - Varies. Rate my professor.
Operating Systems - Do not take Carla McManus if you want to learn the concepts fluently.
Discrete Math - Andy Wilson.
Having solid resume is super important. Many people who don't secure things and get automatically rejected, etc have horrible resumes. Spend the money (it's a lot) to get your resume professionally written. It's worth it. Invest in your long term career aspirations. Templates are cool but, they don't convey information well and come across as lazy. Don't put every achievement ever on there. I don't want to see a wall of text. No, I don't care if you're a Boy Scout. No, I don't care if you bussed tables in high school. You get the point. The rule of "only one page" is complete and total bullshit. If you have projects and prior work experience related to the role, list it down. Don't conserve space for the sake of keeping it one page. You're limiting yourself. I know the career center actively tells people on handshake to keep it to one page. They're wrong. I landed internships & full time roles consistently at big tech / FAANG for years with a 1.5 / 2 page resume. Do not lie on your resume. If you can't solve a leetcode hard consistently with the technology / language of choice, you don't know it well enough. I have interviewed a ton of students and people that list they know C or Python and can't write recursion or gives me a solution in O(N^2) or worse. Aim for O(N), use a hashmap / hash table when you can and do it in a language that doesn't make you fight the runtime / compiler. Trust me, we know when you're making shit up. If you don't know something say it and then, tell them to explain more. This way, you show that you have the capability to learn. Ask smart questions. Do not ask questions that have already been answered. Take notes.
On your resume, experience is only real experience if you get a W2. If you don't get a W2, you can't claim it as professional experience. A lot of background checks these days are drilling down on incorrect information. I have seen instances where people lie, get an offer, company finds out through a comprehensive background check and their offer is gone. Do not put the fate of your future income on a lie. I cannot stress this enough. A lot of students and people actively lie.
Secondly, the trick to getting a good internship is timing. A lot of you wait until Nov - Dec to find an internship and then, throw your hands up when no one responds. That's not a good mindset. Solid internships are recruiting in end of July to August. By September, the amount of open spots are extremely thin. Local companies tend to look for internships during this time. Internships are about luck after that. Reach out to people in your circle to increase your odds. A referral goes a long way. Prior experience through projects that are complex and unique go a long way. It's a numbers game. Don't aim for the highest thing ever without some sort of referral. You can still apply but, do not expect much from it. Start small and work your way up. It's extremely rare to go from KSU undergrad sophomore to Google. It takes a lot of outside work. If you happen to land the internship, make sure that you get recommendations at the end. Having real people who you worked with in a professional capacity that can vouch for you is huge. If you're in your junior year and you get an internship, make sure you try to secure a full time offer. Loop in your boss, mentor, etc. Make your expectations clear. Reach their expectations and beyond.
Thirdly, full time opportunities are rare and most new grads that get hired come from the previous year's intern pool. If you don't get converted, you have to make up that time searching for a job during your senior year. If you do get converted, keep looking because companies are flaky these days. Always have a Plan B & C. Never fully count on Plan A. If you don't have internships across four years, it's over for you. From a hiring manager perspective, it's an absolute red flag when we come across someone with a degree and no internships. That's effectively going against the point of college. You'll have to settle for crumbs and crawl your way up. Very few make it out of that hole. The bar is significantly higher. Especially, now.

Searching for an Opportunity

Do not wait until after you graduate to find a job. Jan - Early May are when most companies finalize budgets and hire. If you wait until after May, you'll might have to wait until after the Summer and possibly, October for hiring to pick up again. Proactivity is nothing but good for you. If you can't be proactive then, you won't succeed in this field. Referrals matter but, personal connections with the hiring manager / recruiter are much, much better. Work your way up. Don't discount an opportunity because it doesn't pay well. Get as much experience as you can and bounce around. Do not go into the gate thinking you're going to make $120K - $140K / yr out the gate. You're most-likely going to make $68K - $75K / yr depending on the location. Do not listen to LinkedIn posts that claim all this cool shit and how to do it. Trust me, it's bullshit. Don't pay attention to it. It's a brag-fest. It's a long road. Start walking on it early and you'll reach the other side when it matters most. Trust in it.
The reality of this economy is that highly experience people have been laid off. Those people are applying to entry level roles and those roles are being filled for cheap. In addition, watch out for fake postings and scam jobs. If you take a contract job, always keep looking. Avoid jobs that will providing "training" before you even start. Avoid jobs that are less than week old. You want things that are fresh. It's a numbers game. Apply for 300+ jobs every week until you get a response back. Don't be discouraged by employers who don't respond or ghost you. Keep at it. It's a mental game.

Conclusion

I think if you do these things, you'll end up at a great spot after four years. If you're just now coming across this and you've been slacking, use this an opportunity to wake the fuck up, light a fire under your ass and lock in. If you're still in denial after reading this post and you have yet to get anything, light a fire under your ass, come to terms with it and lock in.
If you're in it to do zero work, cheat on your classes, mess around for four years and somehow wing a high salary or a job in this field, good luck. You're fucked. You're so fucked, in-fact, that you'll be wondering "why me and why is it so hard" for a long ass time. Don't be that person.

Understand: Kernel Space vs. User Space, Memory Allocation / Deallocation, Bitwise Operations, Memory blocks, processes and threads, context switching
System Design Primer - https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer
Understand: Monolith vs. Micro-services, Tradeoffs between different approaches, Vertical vs. Horizontal Scaling, Load Balancers, Buckets, Data lakes, CI / CD Pipelines, Data Clusters, Client-Server Architecture, Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Context: System design is like a giant puzzle that has many forms. Create a basic design. It won't be perfect. Mix-and-match different services and know why, how and tradeoffs between each approach.
Programming language is dependent on the role and what the company favors. Common ones are Java, C++, Python, C#, JavaScript / TypeScript and C. You can look at jobs that you would like to work someday, look at the requirements and use that as a basis on where to start learning. Things constantly change. Fundamentals build up on each other. Start small. Work your way up. Do not dream big. Dream realistic. Everyone is different.

THE OBLIGATORY "IS THIS A SCAM?" QUESTION:
Considering the fact that you found my contact information online, it’s understandable to be skeptical regarding the legitimacy of my services. Therefore, I’m willing to do all of the following to help you feel more secure in trusting me with your academic needs:

• 1) Speak with you on the phone and answer any questions you may have so that you have the opportunity to assess and analyze my tone, articulation, accent, diction, dialect, regionalisms, pitch, vocabulary, word choice, intonations, and inflections.
• NOTE: I’m a New Jersey-born Irish/Italian-American, but I have been told that I speak in an erudite & articulate suburban American accent with a “professor style” voice somewhat resembling the voice of actor: Ben Stein.
• 2) Agree to do some homework questions of yours upfront with the work fully shown in real-time to prove my mastery of the course content.
• 3) Send you screenshots of at least five past scores I attained from completing exams & homework assignments for other students in the same type of class you need help with.
• 4) Send you full screenshots of written exam solutions I wrote up by hand for students in the past in the same course that you need help with so that you can see my neat handwriting.
• 5) Provide you with the contact information of students who have utilized my services in the past who would be more than willing to vouch for my skills.

MY REBUTTAL TO THE OBLIGATORY “IS THIS A SCAM?” QUESTION:
At the risk of sounding arrogant, I consider myself to be at least marginally more intelligent (both academically & socially) than the average person. Therefore, if I ever decided to suddenly risk prison time, risk my reputation, and risk enduring the wrath of modern-day “cancel culture” by scamming people out of their money:

• I certainly wouldn’t do it for such paltry amounts of money. (i.e., anything less than $1,000 per victim.)
• I certainly wouldn’t choose high school & college students as my “target audience” to scam, considering that most people without college degrees have abysmally low annual incomes. Why choose low-income victims when it would be much more profitable to target high-income, high-net-worth individuals earning at least six figures a year? I have knowledge in business consulting, and I promise you that a business owner would be a MUCH more lucrative mark than a low-income college student.
• I wouldn’t choose such a time & energy-draining method of scamming people. Also, communicating back and forth with potential clients is an absurdly long time sink since only less than 10% of all potential clients who reach out to me actually become paying clients of mine. This means that 90% of my time communicating with potential clients ultimately proves to be a colossal waste of my irretrievable time & energy.
• If you pay me to provide academic services and I don’t deliver, you can always dispute the payment with the payment app and easily get your money refunded. If I were in the habit of swindling money from people, then all of my payment accounts would have been investigated and be completely shut down by now. And I would have been permanently banned from opening new accounts. Therefore, the fact that all my payment apps have been fully active for years should be sufficient proof that I haven’t had people consistently disputing payments sent to me.

• I have multiple paid subscriptions to a wide range of academic tutoring resources, including Chegg, Quizlet, CourseHero, Brainly, Grammarly, Study. com, Bartleby, Slader, Transtutors, Slideshare, StudocU, Turnitin, Academia, SymboLab, WolframAlpha, and Scribd to help guide to solve exam & homework questions that I may not immediately know.

I ALWAYS ACCEPT CALLS:

• I have no problem speaking with potential clients on the phone.
• I have an authentic suburban upper-middle-class American accent, similar to the actor: Ben Stein.
• However, be wary of so-called “tutors” who refuse to accept any phone calls or have a strict “text / email only” policy.
• These “text-only” / “email-only” tutors are usually located outside the U.S. and are afraid their foreign accent will expose their true nationality.

I WRITE LIKE A PROFESSIONAL:

• Approximately 98% of the time, I write all my texts & emails in grammatically correct U.S. English with proper punctuation and occasional typo.
• Unlike some alleged “U.S.-based tutors,” I do NOT write using broken English or grammatically incorrect texting shorthand (example: "wut u need help wit??").
• I write my ad in proper American English, the same way I always text and email people.
• I can guide students on formatting & writing term papers, essays, and discussion posts in APA MLA Chicago Harvard format.
• If the tutor you’re checking out consistently writes using egregiously horrendous grammar, do you honestly think it’s a good idea to trust them to help you do well in your class?

OCT 2021 UPDATE: I am currently offering discount deals for requests for assistance with completing a student's entire course for the Fall 2024 semester (14 - 20 week courses acceptable), as well as discounts for students seeking help with multiple exams and/or multiple classes for Fall 2024. My availability for the Autumn 2024 / Fall 2024 semester will likely become limited very quickly as I receive more and more academic requests. Therefore it would be very advantageous to reach out to me for academic assistance before my schedule becomes too full.

I took my Algorithms class at uni two years ago and received an A from the class, but forgot many parts of the topics, so I am looking for students/graduates who want to either review or start from scratch on various algorithms topics, both for fun and future interview preparations or something.
Topic Coverage • Analysis of algorithms – Efficiency – Correctness • Algorithm design strategies – Divide-and-conquer – Dynamic programming – Greedy algorithms – Brute-force – Backtracking – Randomization – Approximation • Algorithms from specific problem domains including: – Graph algorithms – Numerical algorithms – Number theory – Geometry • Data integrity, authentication, and encryption • Pattern matching • Parallel algorithms
I know for sure that class made me solve various Leetcode hard problems, even though there was no coding going on from the entire course and it made me feel good. I would love to feel that moment of growth again, so message me if you are interested.

While having Tea in the evening, there's a lady let say Y she's one of my mom's friend arrived at our home with his 10th class boy asking about Tution fee and stuff, since my mom take Tutions upto class 10th. At first she was having a Normal chit chat , but later she asked " or Bada beta aaj kal kya kar raha hai ?", so sitting in the dining hall my mom said " just last year graduate hua hai, currently working at xyz company as a Associate in research domain", phir she asked directly from me "ki beta aage kya plans hain ? " { let me give you her Son's back story he had done his MBA from IIM shillong.} , I replied " MBA". So she be like Competition hai, profile matter karti hai, work -ex and what not. Like i know she knows the stuff about MBA. But then she asked about my profile and Specialisation i wish to pursue. I said it's 86.1/95.6/ 6.815., abhi Work-ex lunga till CAT24 (18months), CFA L1 cleared and wanna specialize in Finance. She be like woh sab toh thik hai but 6 ki line me CGPA hai kaise hoga, Top B-schools me toh profile mangte hai, mere bete ki 9/9/8 thi and blah blah. I just listened and Said dekhte hain aunty jaha jo likha hoga mil jaega. I don't know but i am really started doubting myself 😭,+ I am a CA dropout , CA exams ke chakkar me + Shitty professors ke karan Grad score i fucked up.

Hi guys,
I am trying to scrape this form from this website https://www.excard.com.my/spec/Litho/Bill-Book.
The form is dynamic, the first option is size, a dropdown menu and with each option the price is updated. This is the code I've manage to write so far but I am not able to achieve the final goal, that is, to select each option and then scrape the price for that option:

import scrapy from scrapy_splash import SplashRequest class ExcardSpider(scrapy.Spider): name = "excard" allowed_domains = ["www.excard.com.my"] script_two = ''' function main(splash, args) url = args.url assert(splash:go(url)) splash:wait(1) input_username = assert(splash:select("#TemplatedContent1__product_txtusername")) input_username:focus() input_username:send_text("you_username") assert(splash:wait(0.5)) input_password = assert(splash:select("#TemplatedContent1__product_txtpassword")) input_password:focus() input_password:send_text("your_password") assert(splash:wait(0.5)) assert(splash:runjs('document.querySelector("#TemplatedContent1__product_excardLogin").click()')) assert(splash:wait(5)) splash:set_viewport_full() assert(splash:wait(5)) local dropdown_selector = "#mainContent_order_spec_controller1_order_spec_bizdoc1_ddlSize" -- Change to the appropriate selector local option_selectors = splash:select_all(dropdown_selector .. " option") local dropdown_selector = "#mainContent_order_spec_controller1_order_spec_bizdoc1_ddlSize" -- Change to the appropriate selector -- Select the first option local script = string.format("document.querySelector('%s').selectedIndex = 5; var event = new Event('change'); document.querySelector('%s').dispatchEvent(event);", dropdown_selector, dropdown_selector) splash:runjs(script) assert(splash:wait(5)) return splash:html() end ''' def start_requests(self): yield SplashRequest(url='https://www.excard.com.my/spec/Litho/Bill-Book', callback=self.parse, endpoint="execute", args={ 'lua_source': self.script_two }) def parse(self, response): price = response.xpath("//td[@id='tdPriceb4Disc2']/text()").get() print(price) 

Hi all
I'm a 22m united statesian math student from the midwest. At some point, I realized that math is actually (secretly) a humanity, so my closest friends have been less engineer types and more artists, historians, college philosophers, and people with a lot of empathy.
Normally, I can just hang out with my film roommates or weird people at the library, but I've got flipped seasonal depression where the loneliest time for me is summer, so this is my annual post looking for online friends to chat with.
I'm looking for people that are cool (REQUIRED), academic (ish), and more than anything curious in seeing just how far their passions go. There's way more meaning in being brave with what you do than in being smart.

Some passions of mine:

math - I'm finally doing the trifecta of undergrad classes my old math-ish degree deprived me of: real analysis, number theory, and topology. Most of my thinking energy the past year has been applied to recursive functions, data structures, and border math/cs topics I'm so sick of at this point. I can't wait to be writing proof by contradictions again for homework. My favorite "sup" is definitely the great supremum.
reading - my summer list: Stella Maris (the McCarthy epic), Permanent Record (Snowden book), Wolf Hall (tudor-core), and Traitor to His Class (bio on the coolest Roosevelt). I mostly read classic literature and history + mythology books. I'm gifting Kafka on the Shore by Murakami to my English teacher friend as it left a real mark on me when I read it last year. Also with everything going on in Palestine and the nearby protests, Chomsky and Orwell essays are so clarifying.
linux/code - I know I dissed it above, but there's definitely a before/after FOSS in my life where you discover just how composable everything is with pipes and streams. I run unix with vim, emacs, dmenu and all the rest. I like programming in golang and lisp and wanna learn haskell. LaTeX equations are also very beautiful.
history - I visited Vienna a few weeks back and saw a cool Marshal Joseph Radetzky statue. It was interesting putting myself in the mind of those 1848 Viennese students and their revolution crushed by the state power of an eighty-year-old catholic Joe... Anyway, reading about the imperial krauts is neat. Knowing about the past makes travel, talking to geriatrics, and old coins way more fun, so I've always appreciated political, cultural, and religious history.

Littler things I like:

• Rock N Roll (simon and garfunkel, fleet foxes, björk, radiohead, elliott smith, brian eno)
• Singing beatles karaoke at open mics
• Emailing random authors at 2 a.m.
• Photography
• Talking to goofy kids, old people with endangered idioms, foreigners in their own language, anyone not cowed into being boring

That's enough color about me. I wanna hear about you now!
My ideal penpal is someone that cares very deeply about ideas as well as people. If you wanna leave me swooning, send a bandcamp if you're a rockstar or a git repo if you're a hacker or anything cool you wanna show off in your domain.
Life can be a real swirl for me, but for the first time I'm starting to feel dizzy. Little chats and side-tangents of friendships are not what I need now. Please only message if there was something that really stuck with you.
If my hopes of finding inspiration and kindness from the world resonate with you, send me a PM.
cool bye now B-)
