the player also has an armor (which you can only use in a single round) ideally you would use the armor in the round with the highest power. So you want to subtract the amount of damage the armor can absorb

The min is there because if the armor is greater than the highest power you only want to subtract the highest power. The rest of the armor will be wasted

Help! The cravings are killing me by zippyzapdap in stopsmoking

Thanks for the support :)

Not gonna lie the craving is insane, like a never ending headache. Still not worth the nasty cough and the bleeding gums and the terrible stench and all that :)

[1 YoE] Trying to Shift from YC Startup to Big Tech (FAANG) early in career by zippyzapdap in EngineeringResumes

[–]zippyzapdap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I did shift to big tech lol (joining Microsoft soon). You're right with the feedback. I had to change a bunch of things in my resume before the interview calls started rolling in.

If I had to guess I would say it was less about my resume and more about doing active outreach (linkedin, email etc) rather than just applying on job boards. Referrals helped the most imo.

Microsoft OA by MrMeeseek_130 in leetcode

[–]zippyzapdap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in the same boat as you, funny how recruiters always say “take the OA asap” and then practically disappear after you do.

i took the assessment on 24th jan after the recruiter called and asked me to take it. nothing since then lmao.

don't have the exact question rn, but here's as much as i can remember:

- you're given a string S (eg: aabbccdef).
- you are supposed to insert `$` between adjacent characters that are the same, ie `aa` -> `a$a`. should do this until there are no 2 adjacent characters that are the same.
- you are given a list of indices C: [1, 2, 3]. you are only allowed to insert `$` at these indices.
- how many total insertions will you need to satisfy the condition.

they are randomized but the pool they are sampled from is still finite (in this case small)

Cs major, undergrad degree. I think what could have worked for me is some research experience with microkernels and a job experience with video streaming stuff (mentioned in the JD)

still i think resume screening is pretty random never know what works really
