Be that as it may, it will never even come close to the 100s of hours of leetcode grinding. It's not even the same order of magnitude. Like I mentioned, it is common to spend months grinding leetcode. How can people rationalize this an

Leetcode: weeks or months spent grinding daily, adding easily up to 100s of hours Take home project: typically capped at 4 hours. Hmmm, this is a tough one...

Except it doesn't; the public system also handles basic stuff like vaccinations, free medicine, first response, "walk-ins" etc. It has to maintain a huge infrastructure to keep those services - Brazil is a huge and extremely

I'd say they have a point. Brazil, where I've lived most of my life, has had its single payer public Healthcare modeled after the UK, and the private healthcare sector which is supposed to be a "complement" to the "

I'm always surprised how Americans have a radically different interpretation of diversity. This debate always comes up. Large American cities have many minorities that tend to congregate socially and geographically, hence "Koreato

The system has serious issues, but I think you're being a bit too harsh. Trust me - I come from a country with a barely functioning single payer system, so my dynamic range here is pretty good. Family doctor crisis is real, there are a

Termux supposedly has a setting that prevents that. I haven't had issues so far; I keep long-running stuff like tmux with `tail -f log-file` etc running for literally months.

Thanks for that, will look at it! I actually moved away from DDNS after a while because I moved and my new ISP had CGNAT. I posted about it here https://lbrito1.github.io/blog/2020/07/replacing_google_anal...

This actually happened with me :) I keep the phone wherever and don't look at it a lot; by chance I saw that the battery was bloated. The phone/server has been running fine since I bought the replacement, around 1.5-2 years ago. U
