@dronkoff @Oblivious9021 @Priyannkaaaa a hashmap is O(1) time for lookup while a b tree is O(logn). if you want to see if a username is taken, a hashmap will always be faster. if you wanted to sort usernames for example, all usernames starting with d or an underscore, then a tree is better

@Oblivious9021 @Priyannkaaaa A B tree of course. As a user type it traverses tree nodes letter by letter. If a node exists, the name is used.

Interviewer: How do apps like Google, Instagram, or Twitter instantly know a username is already taken the moment you type it?

@american703902 @creatine_cycle types are implicit so if num = 123, num_str = str(num) will return the string. not many situations i could think of where you would need to cast an int to a string, but if you had a number you needed to print, you could just use an f string. print(f" {num}") -> 123

@creatine_cycle You can’t do that in python there are not variable types

when you ask a new grad cs major how to convert an integer to a string in python and they hit you with that claude code stare

@AmonbastionI @LakeShowYo Lakers still missing 2 starters, one of them averaging 27 points oer game. Watching the games is pretty painful because other than lebron and luka, you really cant rely on anyone else to make shots. I dont blame jj for the struggles at all.

@LakeShowYo I think if they had 2 super stars, Like LeBron and Luka, this team would really go places

@muriplz @neogoose_btw more like spending 30 minutes writing out preprocessor directives

This is what most of the C and Assembly Developers on this platform are like. They have wet dreams to be real engineers but in fact doing this dumbshit ai slop all the time.

@Younotsleek1 @ShamsCharania I like this idea. Individual props suck because a player should never be scrutinized online for failing to meet or exceed a metric created by a computer. Some players can handle it, but some are probably more affected by the hate than their peers.

@ShamsCharania I actually agree that athletes should have the ability to opt-out of their props being available.

NBA is also pushing gaming companies for changes to prop bets involving individual players, such as: - limiting maximum amount that can be bet - limitations on "unders" - limiting population of players - eliminating problematic bet types, like bets on an action on a single play

@Bklynstarr_ @milomarkets @ShamsCharania Like first basket scored for example

@milomarkets @ShamsCharania Wat single play prop

@mike2mazza @LakeShowYo Yeah this is a fair ranking tbh. After trading wins and losses for over a week, 7 is probably right

@LakeShowYo As expected. Our defense took a huge slump but hopefully after this last game JJ makes improvements to our rotations.

🚨 NBA power rankings updated 🚨 1. OKC 2. Nuggets 3. Rockets 4. Pistons 5. Knicks 6. Spurs 7. Lakers

@CM_Carnage @BizuAlt The same thing happened like 7 years ago where ram and ssd prices were crazy expensive. I payed over 300 for 32 gb of ddr4

@BizuAlt Nothing to do with AI, the maker for ddr5 had a flood awhile back due to a tsunami so its catching up now

@MartibColeman20 @Footballjogfv @TheDunkCentral @mcten @ohnohedidnt24 so does lebron only care about stats or load managing? right now it doesnt seem he can do both

@Footballjogfv @TheDunkCentral @mcten @ohnohedidnt24 Doubtful. He needs his stats

LeBron can only miss three more games to stay award-eligible, including All-NBA, per @mcten A source says they’d prefer he skips back-to-backs at age 41, but it depends on his plans to remain All-NBA eligible. (h/t @ohnohedidnt24 )

@tamtat00 @Dustin_S03 @ShamsCharania Media awards are trash anyway. Imo, 80% of the panel shouldnt even be allowed to vote. If I were a player, I wouldnt care too much about it. Sportswriters either glaze tf outs you, or throw you to the wolves and hardly any in between

@VariantFound @Dustin_S03 @ShamsCharania I feel like the voters kind of took that in consideration even without the rule in place. But ion know. Can’t have a Wemby talent to never win one of the big awards because of a rule that was recently implemented

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has a left calf strain and is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks, sources tell ESPN.

@tamtat00 @Dustin_S03 @ShamsCharania I think the rule is a good thing. Awards like MVP and DPOY need to have a minimum game criteria because what good is your performance if your're available less than 80% of games?

@Dustin_S03 @ShamsCharania Maybe the league takes a look at this and gets rid of this rule. Wemby never winning any prestigious awards will backfire.

@Random234334 @AidanOsint @Holden_Ford1976 @CramerTracker In short, no. I majored in comp eng and there was a large focus on hardware. Like learning how to program fpgas, MCs, allow them to interact with other hardware components, but we were expected to build full stack apps to pair with them as well

@AidanOsint @Holden_Ford1976 @CramerTracker coding is comp sci not comp engineering though isn’t it?

BREAKING: US COLLEGE GRADUATES’ UNEMPLOYMENT HITS 9.3%, HIGHER THAN FINANCIAL CRISIS ERA

@bringthesalt @konrad55 @showtimeluka Darvin ham had AR play the 5 at one point. Not even in the same stratosphere as jj

@konrad55 @showtimeluka Lmfao JJ just as ass as Darvin idk what you see

I don’t give a fuck if you got 50 wins in your first year, JJ’s coaching and rotations have been extremely questionable.

@TheHoopCentral No need to cut one because theyd have jokic hung for witchcraft

Cut one Center

@NarayanSomesh @PlayoffDude "If you completely change the landscape of the teams, the clippers are better." ?

@PlayoffDude Read what i said lmao. Put luka in place of harden then see how good that team would be. They got the pieces not the master orchestrators to bring them together like lakers do

3-7 is better than 8-3? 💀

@USC_Nico @KFCBarstool At this point the sport belongs to the japanese and dominicans, but i get where youre coming from lol

@KFCBarstool They thought Canada was going to win a sport that belongs to us?

@ClayAwesmic @Maso_Prince @MangaContexts While perhaps not the most wanted ending, it was the most ideal ending. In all honestly, those guys got exactly what they deserved

@Maso_Prince @MangaContexts If you're gonna read the manga, do so for the journey, not the destination. The second story arc is amazing, the third story arc has a pacing as infamously bad as the Frieza arc, and... well, the less said about the ending, the better.

@Miya_Bhai344 @espn He did the same thing against the warriors on christmas. the thing about ar is he has so much confidence in himself already

@espn How much do you think this moment boosts his confidence the rest of the season especially in tight late game situations like this?
