Monday : Worked on the presentation “Life of a C Program” and presented it in the evening. Tuesday : Paired with May to discuss the steps in “Life of a C Program” and in the process making the presentation better – bot visually and organization wise. Started reading the paper on Raft Wednesday : Continued […]
I am fascinated by the debuggers. I love them so much that I wrote a small and very basic debugger as one of my projects recently. In this post I am going to write down what I’ve learned about how can a debugger set a breakpoint.. This post can be divided into these following sections. […]
Day 1: Gone for an interview Day 2: Paired with Mike and Dan to write up the IngestorTest unit test. Did the code dojo and an exercism challenge on Go. Day 3: Paired with Mike and Dan to finish a test case in the IngestorTest. Finished the code dojo problem. Started learning network programming in […]
Day 1: First day of the Fall 2 batch. Quite a busy and exhausting day. Started reading the chapter on Linker from “Computer Systems – A Programmer’s Perspective”. Gave a talk from the delightful article “A Whirlwind Tutorial on Creating Really Teensy ELF Executables for Linux”. Tried to understand the part 3 of the Eli […]
Day 1: Practiced some graph and tree algorithms problems. Got to know about the Linux stack frames from the Hardware Software Interface course. Wrote the code mentioned in the first part of the debugging tutorial. Rode a Ferris Wheel in the evening. Day 2: Practiced a couple of algorithm problems. Today I got to know […]
I am going to do something new from this week. Well, it’s not completely new since I used to do it in my last job. I am going to write my weekly goals so that they are documented and I can always see the path I have taken compared to the goals I set at […]
Tuesdays are the days of Codo Dojo at RC where you pair with another person and try to solve a problem in one hour. This Tuesday’s problem was the Euler Problem no. 24. Here’s the problem – A permutation is an ordered arrangement of objects. For example, 3124 is one possible permutation of the digits […]
Day 1: Labour day holiday. Was out most of the day. No work. Day 2: Got the first cut of a toy information retrieval system working. Calling it NoteRanger. I started reading the book here. I started taking notes in mark-down following the suggestions made by David. I also took his search-the-notes system. But I […]
Day 1: Start with the dropin warmup. Can think of an inefficient solution (O(n^2)). Want to do better, hence start understanding how to build a suffix tree. Spend almost two hours without understanding fully how to construct a suffix tree. Need to find a good tutorial on Ukkonen’s algorithm. Start working on BitFunnel again. Download […]
Day 3: Coding-wise, haven’t done much. But otherwise the day was well-spent in other sense. Met David Branner. David took my first interview when I applied for RC. And he is super-helpful. He gave me quite a few tips on time-management and tracking my progress. Here’s how he searches his notes on coding. Did a […]
