The Hidden Cogs

For three days now, I've been spending hours trying to understand the full scope of what it means to build a revenue model for snapie.io. Truthfully, it seems like

Would you get married in a second-hand dress?

Well, recently, the algorithms have started being strange and showing me wedding-related stuff seemingly everywhere. From diamond rings for sale (romantic!) to

The Birth of the Zimbiote

After spending an unhealthy amount of hours tweaking the discovery algorithm on Snapie.io, I decided to spend some more unhealthy hours working on Snapie Mobile.

Maybe It's Finally Time for Algorithms

A great conversation took place today on Hive's Discord server. Of course, the usual gripes were expressed, but this time I think we actually got somewhere new.

Algorithms and Echo Chambers

There is an old truism that "birds have a feather flock together." It speaks to the fact that we humans tend to gravitate towards others who have had similar

Hesitant To Engage

Social media For You feed pages are a bit like public town squares but the means of navigation is less intentional compared to an actual town square where I can

Behaviors

Unchaining the Mind

Our media landscape — whether it's social media or mainstream news — is filled with narratives. These stories are shaped and delivered by algorithms designed to

Experimental Edit Enjoyment

Hi fellow Hiveians, Today Experimental Edit Enjoyment Every now and then I like to push the envelope a little bit in my photos! I don't think I would say that I'm

An Insidious Beast Of Modern Engineering

What's a modern reality that's overlooked, both in its immense benefit and subtle detriment? Is it the constant connectivity that blurs the lines between work and

DSA (Medium) - Graph - Keys and Rooms (Python, Typescript & Go)

There are n rooms labeled from 0 to n - 1 and all the rooms are locked except for room 0. Your goal is to visit all the rooms. However, you cannot enter a locked

DSA (Medium) - Binary Search Tree - Delete Node in a BST (Python, Typescript & Go)

Given a root node reference of a BST and a key, delete the node with the given key in the BST. Return the root node reference (possibly updated) of the BST. Basically,

DSA (Easy) - Binary Search Tree - Search in a Binary Search Tree (Python, Typescript & Go)

You are given the root of a binary search tree (BST) and an integer val. Find the node in the BST that the node's value equals val and return the subtree rooted

DSA (Medium) - Binary Tree - Maximum Level Sum of a Binary Tree (Python, Typescript & Go)

Given the root of a binary tree, the level of its root is 1, the level of its children is 2, and so on. Return the smallest level x such that the sum of all the

DSA (Medium) - General - Print A Diamond Shape (Typescript, Python & Rust)
