Grokking the coding interview equivalent leetcode problems

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.

Steam Deck `ssh` instructions

These are manual instructions on enabling SSH access on your Steam Deck, adding public key authentication, and removing the need for a sudo password for the main user (deck).

This gist assumes the following:

  • you have a Steam Deck
  • you have a home PC with access to a Linux shell that can ssh, ssh-keygen, and ssh-copy-id
  • your Steam Deck and home PC are on the same local network, with standard SSH traffic (tcp/22) allowed over that network from the PC to the Steam Deck

NOTE: @crackelf on reddit mentions that steamOS updates blow away everything other than /home, which may have the following effects:

  • removing the systemd config for sshd.service, which would prevent the service from automatically starting on boot
  • removing the sudoers.d config, which would reenable passwords for sudo

Cryptographic Best Practices

Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

Git Subtree basics

Git Subtree Basics

If you hate git submodule, then you may want to give git subtree a try.

Background

When you want to use a subtree, you add the subtree to an existing repository where the subtree is a reference to another repository url and branch/tag. This add command adds all the code and files into the main repository locally; it's not just a reference to a remote repo.

When you stage and commit files for the main repo, it will add all of the remote files in the same operation. The subtree checkout will pull all the files in one pass, so there is no need to try and connect to another repo to get the portion of subtree files, because they were already included in the main repo.

Adding a subtree

Let's say you already have a git repository with at least one commit. You can add another repository into this respository like this:
