Do I need to send an application to the Service Hub if I am graduating this semester?

I found this link on the Seneca website https://students.senecacollege.ca/spaces/134/forms/wiki/view/2108/graduation-application saying that I have to email a form to the service hub if I want to graduate. I filled out the form and sent it to the service hub. But now the Service Hub rep is telling me that if I want a graduation letter I have to wait until I graduate. I double checked the form I sent them and its the general application form for graduation. I don't know if this specific rep just...

Do most students in the CPA program end up getting a paid co-op?

I have reviewed the requirements of what is need to be considered eligible for co-op. I am just curious as to how hard it is to earn one. Are the employment connections between Seneca and said Employers solid? Do they use an exclusive job board? On average, do most students succeed in gaining a relavant co-op?

Is this a dumb idea?

Hi all! I am not a programming student anymore but wanted to float an idea I had of a tool to build that would have helped me, especially when I started taking more online courses and was juggling school and work πŸ™‚ I'm thinking about building a bot that could be scheduled to attend online class on your behalf and send a recording, transcript and summary when the class is over. You could configure it to be "obvious" that it is a bot (e.g. sending a message in chat on arrival), or go more "under the radar" (e.g. setting a looping video of you at your desk). Is this interesting or valuable? Would love to hear your thoughts. ...

Is it possible to remove the first item in a list in Python and still have O(1) run time?

I'm trying to remove the first item from a list in python, but I can't use pop(),append() or extend(). I tried using list splicing ,del list[index] and the remove method. But I found out that list splicing, the del method and remove method have a run time of O(n). Is there any other way to remove the first element in a list and still have an O(1) run time?

Have an upcoming unexpected surgery

I did reach out to my student advisor and having a meeting with them tomorrow, but just wanted to see if someone else experienced this or knows how something like this typically plays out. Yesterday, I found out I have to get surgery on my left distal femur. This was completely unexpected and after getting details of the surgery, I'm worried about finishing this semester. According to the surgeon, for the first 3-4 weeks I would be non-weight bearing on my left leg which means I can't put any weight on it so I wouldn't be able to walk without crutches until then. After 4 weeks they will let me know if I can continue with 1 cane/crutch. Ideally, after 6 weeks I should be able to resume some normal activities. ...
