I also thought to use a Trie for part two, thinking of it similarly to a typeahead problem, but I hadn't heard of Aho-Corasick.

I thought it was over-complicating a day one solution, so I ended up brute-forcing similar to above solutions. Still, it is nice to learn about this algorithm. I may come back to give it a shot and compare runtimes later. Thanks!

This sort of mirrors what my experience has been during my search. In the past, reaching out via LinkedIn or otherwise would merit a response (at least); however, in the current market, I never get a reply and in some cases I see the application is rejected. I feel like sending messages is hurting more than helping.

Likewise with follow-ups. Anytime I follow-up on an interview, I never hear back or it is rejected, so I've stopped following up after interviews completely.

What companies? Every company I've interviewed with in my loops recently have me coding in the first technical screen. I've had five of these interviews so far, various sizes. On-site is multiple levels of tech screens. And this isn't even for FAANG-exclusive companies. FWIW, I'm interviewing in a HCOL area for companies that pay well, so it may be more competitive.

People often speak of the mystical company that doesn't make you code in the interview, but I haven't come across it once in the current market.

I also don't know how comfortable I'd be joining a team that doesn't make me write code in some capacity during the loop... but I also recognize the ridiculousness of expecting correctness, optimal solutions, or the types of questions being asked. Discussing those things, sure, but expecting regurgitation is nonsense.

Hey, I've been there! Still recovering from the burnout almost a whole year later in a new role.

I encourage you to try hard to set boundaries. Only be available after hours by direct phone calls, if possible. Set boundaries on phone calls, especially when you aren't on-call (i.e., "No, I cannot help with this right now, it will have to wait until work hours."). Stop checking into e-mails and work content outside of work. Stay away from politics, news, and other potential stressors for now. Don't think that you always have to exceed expectations. Doing "okay" is an option. Failing is an option. In a start-up, I'm not sure if this logic follows, but in larger corporations it absolutely does... I'd say I wouldn't want to work at a start-up if they didn't support that though!

In the meantime (and I know this is really tough to juggle), I highly recommend seeking out a different role if you can. If they're doing it to you now, they will always do it to you. You need to get out if it's not serving you well. There are better positions out there. No promotion is worth the amount of mental recovery you'll need to do afterwards.

That's my take coming out of a similar position... YMMV, take it all with a grain of salt. Also I'm glad to hear you're seeking out therapy. It saved my life during those dark days.

Best of luck, stay strong, you've got this --

I'll bite! If you update a way to contact in your description or something, I'll send a message your way. :)

but the problem with Spotify is that they have not touched this arbitrary limit, there's no option to increase limits, and this has been this way since 2012, so it is by design.

And quite frankly, from a Software perspective, 10k entries in a database as a limit in 2018 feels small... especially when you consider how many people even listen to 10k entries in the first place. most have no clue about this arbitrary limit because they never hit it.

All I'm saying is that changing 10k to 100k is a significant difference in terms of music, and doesn't feel like it should be a significant difference in terms of data storage.

I think these people are referring to those visible on the streets, and not living out of their car or in the shadows of homelessness. Oftentimes in Seattle the people who are visible are unfortunately in the worst shape, mentally or otherwise.

I believe that without proper financial aid, it may not be possible for everyone to pursue further education.

It's possible to do this, in fact, this is what I did; however, there is a lot more to a college degree than just the loans. You still need to be able to afford college living, food, expenses, etc., and anything which is not covered by loans each semester (which sometimes can be put on a private loan if you're fortunate enough to be able to get someone to cosign for you). I worked all throughout college and still barely made the cut. I had to stop going one year due to financial pressure but was fortunate enough to be hired for a paid co-op internship. This allowed me to save more and continue/finish my degree.

Just offering my perspective, you may or may not already see this.

Surprised I scrolled this far to see something about AmazonFresh... it seemed obvious to me when I heard!

this is hilarious on so many levels...

the WiFi one is super useful actually... thanks! :)

This has always been an issue with both iPhone and my MBP (though I just got them last year). There are _so_ many options in Sys Prefs and otherwise, and there typically is an answer to problems you're having, but they feel hidden...

Pretty minor issue though, I still love both. I'm just not sure if I'll love the new versions everyone seems to be whining about :)

Also whether or not they have the updated edition with all questions...

I ran into that problem with my Operating Systems course this semester, I was just going to scan the problems I needed, but then found out they were different since the book was 4 editions behind.

whoa, that's really interesting, didn't know about that feature! not seeing the "cycles left" anywhere on my end though.

Any anecdotes from anyone who has used this? What did you use it for and did it work how you expected?

Only curious -- it seems really interesting for a personal project I plan on working on soon.

Was just planning on picking up the book. Didn't even know about this album.. listening now! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reply - both you and all others. I've been struggling with asthma lately which was quite a set back, but I think that's only more of a reason to try and get into better shape.

This is part of what keeps me distant from weightlifting. Everyone you talk to offers a different routine (admittedly, almost all of them are some combination of squats, deadlifts, etc., all of which are workouts I struggle with).

I should probably apply the same process as I have with frontend web frameworks... just pick one and roll with it, it will "workout" in the end.

Whoa, did I write this? Close to same age and fellow skateboarder here, same story. I can never get in a routine for weightlifting, but I found running in the winter can help keep active. Typically I'm worried about losing weight, which seems the opposite of most people's exercise motives.

No kidding, definitely an "oh shit" email.

Regularly to the public email listed, I just set mine to private, didn't even realize it was public...

... shouldn't this be higher up?

Fascinating stuff... Thanks for sharing!

Hopefully the community forum will help GitHub to keep in touch with the community!

Totally agree with you here. React made me think of the web in a very modular way... I found it very enjoyable to learn!

Reading Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" taught me a lot about networking, building relationships, and social interactions. I highly recommend reading it to anyone who feels like there's something other people have that they don't, because a lot of the time I find it's some quality found in the book.
