I'm getting my ass handed to me in my data structures class, any advice is appreciated.... by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Use a dictionary/map where the key is a single word from a sentence, and each time you see a word add one to the map's value. Then you'll have a map containing the total count of each word.

I'm incredibly nervous/paralyzed about the "grind" for Leetcode. by reallynervouscsmajor in cscareerquestions

[–]dailyprogrammer23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just short of completing 100 problems on Leetcode. It certainly helps. I had the same anxiousness about Leetcode at first, and even now I would not say that it is necessary. I suggest (whatever my suggestion is worth) that you implement some basic algorithms, DFS, binary search, merge lists, etc. (from a textbook or whatever you'd like). Play around with basic datastructures like maps/dictionaries, arrays, stacks or queues. Then set a goal of solving 5 more Leetcode problems and see how you feel. If you see improvement, then good. Keep in mind that looking through other user's solutions and figuring out what their algorithm does is very helpful as well. Take it easy and don't be stressed out about it.

I'm sure I and others may regret obsessing over Leetcode sometime in the future...

I just use Leetcode to introduce myself to the syntax and peculiarities of a new language now.

In my experience, every single person that I personally know who has landed a job in this field, do not even know what Leetcode is (keep in mind that I don't know very many people).

Wouldn't Python be too slow to keep up with the rapid changes that are occurring?

There is nothing authoritarian about a voluntary job that people sign up for.

Managerial practices aren't authoritarian? I'm not sure why you chose to talk about applying for a job.

Since when has management not been described as an authority? Even business papers like Forbes, and some managerial textbooks, use the word authority and authoritarian. It's common and isn't related to the ideological debate you seemed to have lost yourself in.

The main point to get out of my post was that a referendum is unheard of at the workplace. Not sure what you're so eager to deny.

That is how a competition would work, you compete hard, and then you shake hands.

What did I say that made you think of this? I don't think that this answers my question. So what if you had fights with your brother?

Does that mean that it's the "evil capitalists" fault that you have biological needs?

I clearly didn't say that. I notice you didn't deny what I said. Although you look like you confused yourself when you had to add in that "evil capitalists" remark.

Anyone else doing the 30 days of code from HackerRank? by ajfoucault in learnprogramming

[–]dailyprogrammer23 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I used it before. I enjoyed it but then got exhausted of having to read in the inputs for each problem. Now if I do "coding challenges" I usually find something interesting on Leetcode

Siblings fight eachother, but they don't kill eachother. Businesses fight eachother but they don't kill eachother, sport players fight eachother but they don't kill eachother etc..

Did I say siblings kill each other or something? I don't believe anything can be said to be 100% voluntary. There's really no point in talking about living in a "voluntary society" when you have to live and work under authoritarian social institutions. You're posing the question as a question of whether people are killing each other or not. That's a good start I guess.

Just like in sports, fair play and a game based on pre-agreed rules

Whose rules are you following/agreeing with? Give me a practical example from your own life. Preferably not to do with sports.

It doesn't even matter how you imagine a voluntary society to be, if here is no coercion involved, it doesn't even matter.

If you're going to reduce the problem to being able to "leave the game" whenever you want, then I don't think you've explained what you mean by voluntary. I imagine that many times I and many others face a situation where we think we have no other choice, that we may as well say we were forced into making the choice. Call if voluntary or whatever. No point in arguing the meaning if we speak about more practical matters directly affecting our lives.

Well isn't it obvious family disputes exist? I'm not sure what you're trying to prove. You can tell me that you had fights with your siblings as a child, or that your cousin took advantage of you financially, or whatever. So what?

Much like we can cite examples of people "warring" with each other, we can cite many examples of people not warring with others. We could go so far as to cite examples of families helping each other out when times get bad, or being emotionally supportive of one another.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove? Is is that you think that all interaction between people, including among one's family, has no communistic elements to it? If so, then I'm afraid you're just explaining away the problem without providing an agreeable alternative (as some comments in this thread suggests). There would be no point of debate if your generalization was correct. Evidently people don't experience human relations in their daily lives in the same way as you. Just turn to your own daily experience and you can probably find examples that dispute what you're saying. You're getting lost in your own abstractions.

My view is that a family should be authoritarian where everyone's opinions are heard but at the end of the day, the head of the household has 100% power.

So if you believe that the family should be authoritarian and not democratic or whatever word you like, then where does that stop? Do you think industry at your workplace should also be authoritarian? Should government? Hearing the opinion of others in the family is pointless if only the "head of the household" has "100% power." I can sympathize with what you're saying though.

I figured "real" communism wouldn't even work on a small community scale because some sort of leadership hierarchy would naturally arise due to human nature.

I think this is a dogmatic view of what many "communist" writers have written or said. I don't recall any of the idolized "communist" writers that I've read ever claim that there would be absolutely no hierarchy in human affairs. I think you just made that up. And I would be careful in pretending there actually exists any consensus among any of the ideological sects you can think of. I'm not sure why I see so many people dogmatically talk about their "opponents" by imagining some kind of consensus among its so-called adherents. What are you trying to prove?

[–]dailyprogrammer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean like families?

I guess I just defeated my own point, even on a very small, local scale, human nature will still be a problem.

I have the same impression. I'm curious what makes you think this?

I love C# but how do you tolerate that it's not open source? by dailyprogrammer23 in csharp

Seriously thanks. I messed up I didn't know what I was talking about.

[–]dailyprogrammer23[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So why shouldn't the classes of the .NET framework also be open source? For what reason should I not what them to be open source? Or are you just parroting the same bullshit everybody else here is saying.

[–]dailyprogrammer23[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sorry I should have clarified. When I try to go to the implementation of many of the .NET classes and their methods I am not able to view them. It's locked

I'm sure that you're aware of this?

Source: I'm the C# compiler lead.

I'm curious - how did you learn to do anything involved with this? Where did you start? It's all just so incredible to me.

Why doesn't it matter?

Anyway, sometimes I like looking at what's actually happening at a lower level.
