Features

  • Edit .drawio, .dio, .drawio.svg or .drawio.png files in the Draw.io editor

    • .drawio.svg are valid .svg files that can be embedded in Github readme files! No export needed.
    • .drawio.png are valid .png files! No export needed. You should use .svg though whenever possible - they look much better!
    • To convert between different formats, use the Draw.io: Convert To... command.
  • Uses an offline version of Draw.io by default.
  • Multiple Draw.io themes are available.
  • Use liveshare to collaboratively edit a diagram with others.

Leetcode Patterns

Table of Contents

Background

This repo is intended for any individual wanting to improve their problem solving skills for software engineering interviews.

Problems are grouped under their respective subtopic, in order to focus on repeatedly applying common patterns rather than randomly tackling questions.

All questions are available on leetcode.com with some requiring leetcode premium.

Preface

It is highly recommended to read chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 10 of Cracking The Coding Interview to familiarize yourself with the following data structures and their operations:

  • Arrays
  • Maps
  • Linked Lists
  • Queues
  • Heaps
  • Stacks
  • Trees
  • Graphs

In addition, you should have a good grasp on common algorithms such as:

  • Breadth-first search
  • Depth-first search
  • Binary search
  • Recursion

Notes

This pdf contains useful information for the built-in data structures in Java.

Other useful methods to know include substring()

NPM version Package size codecov Build

The powerful color hook that all designers deserve.

👉 I'm planning to detach the core class to @roller-skates/core. The same workspace will include a lot of cool packages that will help you to "use colors", so stay tuned!

yarn add use-color
import { useColor } from 'use-color'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Core functions

All the functions and types that power the hook are exported. Detailed documentation is TBD(planning to detach them as a core module).

import { parseColor } from 'use-color/parser'
import { ColorInput } from 'use-color/types/ColorInput'
const givenColor: ColorInput = 'rgb(34, 114, 235)'
const color = parseColor(givenColor)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Parse

const [color] = useColor('#2272eb')
color.rgb // { r: 34, g: 114, b: 235 }
color.rgba // { r: 34, g: 114, b: 235, a: 1 }
const [color] = useColor('rgb(34, 114, 235)')
color.

The Patterns of Scalable, Reliable, and Performant Large-Scale Systems

Logo

An updated and organized reading list for illustrating the patterns of scalable, reliable, and performant large-scale systems. Concepts are explained in the articles of prominent engineers and credible references. Case studies are taken from battle-tested systems that serve millions to billions of users.

If your system goes slow

Understand your problems: scalability problem (fast for a single user but slow under heavy load) or performance problem (slow for a single user) by reviewing some design principles and checking how scalability and performance problems are solved at tech companies. The section of intelligence are created for those who work with data and machine learning at big (data) and deep (learning) scale.

If your system goes down

"Even if you lose all one day, you can build all over again if you retain your calm!" - Thuan Pham, former CTO of Uber. So, keep calm and mind the availability and stability matters!

Lightweight full-featured typescript/javascript WhatsApp Web API

Baileys - Typescript/Javascript WhatsApp Web API

Baileys does not require Selenium or any other browser to be interface with WhatsApp Web, it does so directly using a WebSocket. Not running Selenium or Chromimum saves you like half a gig of ram :/

Thank you to @Sigalor for writing his observations on the workings of WhatsApp Web and thanks to @Rhymen for the go implementation.

Baileys is type-safe, extensible and simple to use. If you require more functionality than provided, it'll super easy for you to write an extension. More on this here.

If you're interested in building a WhatsApp bot, you may wanna check out WhatsAppInfoBot and an actual bot built with it, Messcat.

react-window

React components for efficiently rendering large lists and tabular data

React window works by only rendering part of a large data set (just enough to fill the viewport). This helps address some common performance bottlenecks:

  1. It reduces the amount of work (and time) required to render the initial view and to process updates.
  2. It reduces the memory footprint by avoiding over-allocation of DOM nodes.
