Be honest, is it dumb to still have hope for this one?
I'm kind of sad about it. I have never done leetcode, I should have.

1717. Maximum Score From Removing Substrings

You are given a string s and two integers x and y. You can perform two types of operations any number of times.
>Remove substring "ab" and gain x points.
For example, when removing "ab" from "cabxbae" it becomes "cxbae".
>Remove substring "ba" and gain y points.
For example, when removing "ba" from "cabxbae" it becomes "cabxe".

Return the maximum points you can gain after applying the above operations on s.

Example 1:

Input: s = "cdbcbbaaabab", x = 4, y = 5
Output: 19
Explanation:
- Remove the "ba" underlined in "cdbcbbaaabab". Now, s = "cdbcbbaaab" and 5 points are added to the score.
- Remove the "ab" underlined in "cdbcbbaaab". Now, s = "cdbcbbaa" and 4 points are added to the score.
- Remove the "ba" underlined in "cdbcbbaa". Now, s = "cdbcba" and 5 points are added to the score.
- Remove the "ba" underlined in "cdbcba". Now, s = "cdbc" and 5 points are added to the score.
Total score = 5 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 19.

Example 2:

Input: s = "aabbaaxybbaabb", x = 5, y = 4
Output: 20

You CAN solve this, right anon?

It's not that hard.

Is it too late to enter this field as a 24 year old? Im beginning to realize my current field is a dead end and that I made the stupid mistake of following my dream to be a zoologist. Im just about to graduate so there’s no point in NOT getting my degree but I plan to jump ship once I have that certificate in my hand

Ive only taken JS and python courses; made some data sorting algorithms that could predict if wine was red or right by its contents, and did not much else.

I know im going to be competing with people who have been doing this stuff since they were preteens. Is it something i can pick up in months?

it is an extremely competitive market even if you have experience. and its very hard work. no you cannot learn how to be useful to an employer within 3 months. not even close. that part doesnt even matter because no one will hire you without a degree and multiple years of experience. even people with those things are not getting interviews in this market.
40% of software engineers in the us are immigrants. even if they were all sent back tomorrow i bet entry level would still be very competitive.
pursuing it would probably be one of the least valuable uses of your time possible.

I had sex with a thai (real girl) pop idol a couple of years back. She's gotten more famous now but she was close to my level back then.

Alright, suppose I want to apply to some local-ish companies. Do you suppose its better to call or email them to ask if there are any openings?
On one hand, email seems low-effort and low-interest.
On the other hand, I feel like I'm more likely to be dismissed if I call in, since I'll be interrupting whatever they were doing at the moment and they probably don't feel like talking with some retard.

Also, would it be wrong to send such an inquiry to their "sales@company.com" email, if that's the only contact info available?

2322. Minimum Score After Removals on a Tree

There is an undirected connected tree with n nodes labeled from 0 to n - 1 and n - 1 edges.

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums of length n where nums[i] represents the value of the ith node. You are also given a 2D integer array edges of length n - 1 where edges[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that there is an edge between nodes ai and bi in the tree.

Remove two distinct edges of the tree to form three connected components. For a pair of removed edges, the following steps are defined:

>Get the XOR of all the values of the nodes for each of the three components respectively.
>The difference between the largest XOR value and the smallest XOR value is the score of the pair.

For example, say the three components have the node values: [4,5,7], [1,9], and [3,3,3]. The three XOR values are 4 ^ 5 ^ 7 = 6, 1 ^ 9 = 8, and 3 ^ 3 ^ 3 = 3. The largest XOR value is 8 and the smallest XOR value is 3. The score is then 8 - 3 = 5.

Return the minimum score of any possible pair of edge removals on the given tree.

>>106006537
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,5,5,4,11], edges = [[0,1],[1,2],[1,3],[3,4]]
Output: 9
Explanation: The diagram above shows a way to make a pair of removals.
- The 1st component has nodes [1,3,4] with values [5,4,11]. Its XOR value is 5 ^ 4 ^ 11 = 10.
- The 2nd component has node [0] with value [1]. Its XOR value is 1 = 1.
- The 3rd component has node [2] with value [5]. Its XOR value is 5 = 5.
The score is the difference between the largest and smallest XOR value which is 10 - 1 = 9.
It can be shown that no other pair of removals will obtain a smaller score than 9.

Example 2:
Input: nums = [5,5,2,4,4,2], edges = [[0,1],[1,2],[5,2],[4,3],[1,3]]
Output: 0
Explanation: The diagram above shows a way to make a pair of removals.
- The 1st component has nodes [3,4] with values [4,4]. Its XOR value is 4 ^ 4 = 0.
- The 2nd component has nodes [1,0] with values [5,5]. Its XOR value is 5 ^ 5 = 0.
- The 3rd component has nodes [2,5] with values [2,2]. Its XOR value is 2 ^ 2 = 0.
The score is the difference between the largest and smallest XOR value which is 0 - 0 = 0.
We cannot obtain a smaller score than 0.

do u guys think I can get a security clearance again after the government revoked it for being a criminal?

>>106006537
Can obviously be done in O(N^3): consider each pair of edges (of which there are O(N^2)) and for each one do a depth-first traversal (which costs O(N)) to compute the XORs of the three components.

Can also be done in O(N^2). Precompute for each node a summary value equal to the XOR of that node and all of its descendants (simple depth-first traversal, O(N) time). Also precompute the preorder and postorder number of each node, so you can check whether one node is a descendant of another with an O(1) range comparison. With these, when deleting an edge, you can find the combined XOR value of the two new connected components in O(1) time (or I guess O(C) or maybe O(C^2) where C is the number of connected components that exist so far, which in this problem never exceeds 2).

I feel like there's probably some trick that lets you get it down to O(N), but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe some kind of DP with the correct traversal order. I don't think the solution can be O(N log N) because the tree isn't guaranteed to be balanced or binary.

When I was interviewing with FAGMAN and got to the behavioral questions that came after the coding assessment, half of them were additional coding questions, but the managers would tell you the question so poorly that it's impossible to give the right answer unless you grind leetcode.

Isn't computing the XORs O(2^n)?

xor1 = node_1 ^ node_2 ^ ... node_n
xor2 = node2 ^ ... ^ node_n
xor3 = node_1 ^ node_3 ^ ... ^ node_n

For each possible component.
XOR is commutative but you don't know if XORing with less nodes will give you a better min/max.

>>106011692
O(2^n) looks big, but it's actually extremely fast.
You can interpret the ^ as a power function which would be big, but alternatively you can interpret it as a XOR.
Then when you bitwise XOR n, it's just a minor modification which reduces to O(n).

You need to think outside of the box.

>>106011692
You don't need to compute the XORs for all O(2^N) possible combinations of nodes. Since you always delete exactly two edges, there are only O(N^2) possible sets of three connected components. Since the input is defined to be a tree, it starts out as a single connected component, and each edge that you delete splits one connected component into two.

im starting to think HR rats do all this dumb shit because they don't actually know what is/isn't illegal and are unwilling to look into it

same shit as the old "it's illegal to give a bad reference" type shit, it's not actually, but enough hr roasts think so that it'll rarely happen

I actually got a linkedin message from the co-ceo saying he liked my resume and linkedin profile and wanted to push my application further. Told me to email him and then they will start the interview process while also suggesting I try integrating their application on a project on my resume that directly relates to their product. Did that, showed him my github, talked about the code, and was impressed I guess, but I haven't heard anything else from him in a week. Is it over?

>>106016529
Ping him again. Maybe he's busy.

>>106016565
Actually it's been two weeks starting tomorrow whoops. I think it's over, but I will message him tomorrow morning.

You won't get an interview call. You have to select either Native American or Hispanic or African-America/Black. I'm Indian and I always identify as a bi hispanic woman on these questions. My interview rate is off the charts even in this shit economy.

>>106017281
is this true? how do you explain to the interviewer that you arent bi hipsanic woman?

>>106018145
you tell them you can self identify as you please and they're bigots for asking

>>106016586
he was probably just advertising his product

not going to make a linkedin
i just won't that's all

>>106018423
Just lie on your resume and say you worked for 5 years instead of 3, etc. That's how the jeets are beating you

pathetically emailed my old boss who laid me off to take me back in because i can't find a job

>>106018424
>I see linkedin being used as a social network for marketing faggots so I won't use it!
are you retarded or just pretending? if someone told you Java or Python used in suicide machines, would that also stop from writing Java or Python programs?

What should I put on a tech support resume? does it even matter?

>>106020145
do you have experience?

>>106020155
Not in tech support. I can program and have some small projects and contributions.

my life has been stuck in planning mode since 2020.

i just want to stooooody constantly bros. i just want to make silly 2d platformers and wacky browser games with three.js. I don't want a job! i don't want to make stuff that people wants!

forget that, i don't even have any marketable skills at all. you can give me a 6 month cybersecurity bootcamp with top 10 best hackers in the world and i would come out of it not able to market myself anyway lol. i can't even say anything good about myself. i genuinely don't want to be hired but I NEED MONEY AND MY PARENTS ARE GETTING OLD AND MY SIBLINGS NEED TO GO TO HIGHER EDUCATION TOO AND THEY DESERVE THE CHANCE TO STUDY ACTUAL PRACTICAL STUFF LIKE BOATING SCHOOL unlike a silly compsci nigger like me with tendonitis all over my body and zero actual friends that i can see in-person!!!!

I don't want to have to do bug bounties again man it sucks fuuuuuuuuuck

>>106020174
Put your resume through ai, it'll come up with something impressive sounding

>>106020214
maritime academy* my bad. i can only think about that one spongebob video

should I show my smegma jar during the interview?

>>106020442
take your piss jars too

would this help me get an internship? i graduated last year around november and worked as a general admin at some ministry and i quit around April because i just can't keep up reading so much presentation materials, attending 2-4 meetings that goes for 3+ hours long everyday, and writing down MoMs after MoMs. I did jackshit from May up until now. If i focus on this can get back to tech somehow before February next year at least?

Do you guys drink pee tea to improve your candidacy standings and over all health?

interesting, on fatty contest it has been almost 8 months and I have made no progress on my weight loss goal. On the other hand, I haven't regressed and got fatter.

can I just lie about internships?
they MIGHT verify previous employment but what about internships?

>it takes 12 weeks to learn the basics of web development that can be learned in a week
LMFAOOOOOOO

God I wish I was a sociopath, lying like that is hard for me.

Why do recruiters and hr roasts try so desperately to sell the company and its products during interviews? I could get if it was some MLM sales devilcorp but I've been interviewing with companies whose products I couldn't conceivably want and in some cases literally am not allowed to purchase.

100% "curriculum" this was made up on the spot by some tik toker based on what third party recruiters said interviewees were "lacking"

>finally get an interview (forma de zoom)
>interviewer asks me to move a little bit so he can see something behind me

It was one of those free calendars from a local chinese place. Why are interviewers like this?

>>106020818
wtf bro? this is how you get back into tech:
>AI prompt: build an ecommerce platform using X language or Y framework.
>debug issues and make it somewhat presentable
>AI prompt: take this resume template and add details about the ecommerce platform
>AI prompt: take the updated resume template and tailor it for companies X, Y and Z
>submit it
done in a couple of hours at most. 100% guarantee some retarded company will eventually hire you.

>>106022758
>free calendars from a local chinese place.
why are you so poor and tech illiterate that you couldnt program your own calendar

T minus 1 hour and 10 minutes until another week of nothing

>>106003335
Can't you just fake some experience?

If you have the skills to back it up, and some people willing to be references. Plenty of real coding jobs are at random start-ups.

if it's of any solace, most software jobs will be eliminated within the next 5 years so you would've eventually had to figure out something else to do anyway. just think you have a 5 year headstart

>>106003165
I've been a tech worker for 10 years, some of my acquitances have been for 30.
IT work is very boom or bust, so there will be periods of time where you will have to rely on contacts or work something else.
It took me a year to find a new job after being laid off, I worked at a cleaners and did small contracts for former clients.
Things will recover at some point, but the general problem, at a societal level, is that you have to go hard, but not to get ahead, just to not fall behind.
I feel bad for college graduates these days, i have no idea how you're supposed to enter and manage yourself in the workforce.
My suggestion is to stick to what you like.

>>106024176
a lot of other clever people have thought of this. its possible an employer is retarded but they are likely to verify it one way or the other. there are services you can verify someone's employment history online with.
even if you grinded 40 hrs a week for a few years straight you will be average on market at the absolute best. you not having collaborated with others before will be obvious to people who interview you.
if youre going to do this anyway at least try making significant contributions to a FOSS project that people have heard of. doing this will be an extremely hard process but its possible you end up actually learning and networking with people. networking is the only way you are getting a job. i can just about promise you that.

>Fact 1
The string decomposes into "blocks" consisting of a,b and "separators" consisting of any other characters.
>Fact 2
The separators never change, so we can consider each block individually and add their scores up at the end.
>Fact 3
Within each block, we will use up all the a's or all the b's, whichever are fewer. (This uses the constraint that x,y>0, which you didn't post but it's listed on leetcode.)
>Fact 4
Might as well scan across the whole string, identifying blocks and greedily preferring x if x>y or y if y>x; just needs a few variables and we're done.

O(n) time O(1) space

>>106024607
I mean what are the main ways they verify employment beyond just like, checking references?
