The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Ah damn, I am pleasantly surprised.
So if I understand right, assuming a binomial distribution, the probability of at least 2 successes from 9 tries (at p = 0.3) is almost exactly 50%.
I just threw a ballpark figure that I would be in the right order of magnitude.
Maybe it's because I apply for ML roles more so than SWE roles , but I usually know from the screening if I will be able to ace the interview. There is weird feeling in the air.
Like its almost more deterministic than probabilistic. I would never give this advice to anyone else. But I do tend to follow vibes-based-interview protocols myself.
