for a non-cs major with a quantitative background such as math or physics, would it be more prudent to study algorithms or gain actual programming skills in order to secure a job prior to graduation?

of course, actual programming skills are necessary, but it seems they can be learned after securing an offer.

M5x7wI3CmbEem10··on Foregen: Using Regenerative Medicine to Undo Male Genital Mutilation
a well-known streamer named Mew2King was recently on YouTube trending talking about how his circumcision has led to suicidal ideation[1]

there have already been reports of people taking their life because of it[2][3], so I thought I’d share some hope to those who may also be suffering

there is also a fairly large group on Reddit using manual restoration methods to recover some of what was lost[4] and also a Foregen subreddit[5]

do you breathe through both nostrils now? how bad was your deviated septum?

your procedure sounds terrifying, and I’d prefer to do something minimally invasive if possible. I wonder if you can do a septoplasty via physical realignment rather than cutting anything open.

M5x7wI3CmbEem10··on Ask HN: Has anyone fixed their own bruxism?
I’m quite skinny already, but definitely don’t feel refreshed after sleep.

I visited an ENT once for chronic fatigue. I was told that I had a slightly deviated septum from a possible childhood injury, but surgical correction was optional. Do you think it would be worth fixing? I’m apprehensive about going under a knife.

I currently only breathe through one nostril at a time, but the one I breathe from changes randomly.
