GROKKING NOTES

I liked the way Grokking the coding interview organized problems into learnable patterns. However, the course is expensive and the majority of the time the problems are copy-pasted from leetcode. As the explanations on leetcode are usually just as good, the course really boils down to being a glorified curated list of leetcode problems.

So below I made a list of leetcode problems that are as close to grokking problems as possible.

Step 1 - Make a Discord Webhook

1. Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send commits and other updates

2. In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe!

Step 2 - Set up the webhook on Github

1. Navigate to your repository on Github, and open the Settings

BitWarden to Apple iCloud Keychain passwords converter

This Python scripts allows you to move your passwords from BitWarden to Apple iCloud.

You need to know:

• It ignores secure notes, credit cards and other types that are not passwords.
• It ignores BitWarden entries without usernames, passwords and URLs.
• It also ignores URLs that do not start with http:// or https://.
• It normalizes all TOTP tokens, e.g. wskg vtqa h5kl bhb4 v4v2 ybyo woc6 qme2 will be converted to otpauth://totp/example.com:dude@foo.bar?secret=WSKGVTQAH5KLBHB4V4V2YBYOWOC6QME2&issuer=example.com&algorithm=SHA1&digits=6&period=30.

SSH keypair setup for GitHub (or GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket, etc, etc)

Create a repo.

Make sure there is at least one file in it (even just the README.md)

Generate a SSH key pair (private/public):

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"

File Magic Numbers

Magic numbers are the first bits of a file which uniquely identify the type of file. This makes programming easier because complicated file structures need not be searched in order to identify the file type.

For example, a jpeg file starts with ffd8 ffe0 0010 4a46 4946 0001 0101 0047 ......JFIF.....G ffd8 shows that it's a JPEG file, and ffe0 identify a JFIF type structure. There is an ascii encoding of "JFIF" which comes after a length code, but that is not necessary in order to identify the file. The first 4 bytes do that uniquely.

This gives an ongoing list of file-type magic numbers.

Theme | History | KeyBinding

in order to make windows powershell more comfortable and add a some theme and features like history binding, auto complete on keypress and so on, if you have used linux teminl wiht zsh for example, we are going to make powershell like that as much as we can.

What we will achieve

How to make a Minecraft mod

Minecraft mods, especially mods which change the client, are by and large written with Forge. If you visit their website, you'll be greeted abruptly by a mysterious message at the top of an SMF forum, with no clear path towards actually... making a mod. I'm documenting here the steps I went through to get started, in the hopes of helping the next person have an easier time of it.

I'll be using Scala for this guide, but it should be fairly easy to adapt these instructions to any JVM language (e.g. clojure or if you're feeling masochistic, Java). I'm also developing on OS X, so some of the commands will be a little different if you're on Linux or Windows. I'm assuming you have some proficiency with your operating system, so I won't go into details about how to adapt those commands to your system.

Background

Minecraft doesn't have an official mod API (despite early [promises](http://notch.t
