Problem Given a string  s , find the length of the  longest substring  without repeating characters. ie. weqwjfd --> 4  (because wjfd is 4 chars) Problem Analysis String/Array Find elastic string within substring Though they asked to find the substring in examples they gave, they had the length  of the largest substring So, we need to return the length Thinking about solution We have a string we are going to need to scan it Largest --> elastic find the boundaries of the string Elastic + Array/String --> Sliding-Window  == TwoPointers But Sliding-Window class Solution {     public int lengthOfLongestSubstring ( String s ) {         int l = 0 ;         int result = 0 ;         Set < Character > set = new HashSet <>();         // We start with right pointer from 0, both left and right are at 0!.         for ( int r = 0 ; r < s . length (); r++) {             // As long as we have duplicates move left first. Trick! at first 0,0 no duplicates!          

 What is stagflation? Stagflation is an economic state where we have both below economical states happening simultaneously, inflation and no growth.  We can have periods of inflation, we can have periods of no growth, but when we have them together, we call this stagflation. So, stagflation is when we have both: We have inflation We don't have growth Let's define inflation , we have two mainstream definitions: Price inflation – the prices are getting higher We have a measure of a few goods in a basket – warning which goods The weight of these goods in this index changes over time to reflect their real life ratio Monetary inflation – increase in money supply Usually increase in money supply should reflect the actual economic growth We actually see big inflation in a combination of both price inflation and also monetary inflation.  During inflation periods, we have brief stagflation periods. Presently, we have over 4 decades of disinflation, but since 2020+ we started having co

Partitions and Performance For a single partition: - For a single partition key - You can have a hard limit around 3000RCU (Read Capcity Units) - You can have hard limit around 1000WCR - Partition key should evenly distributed among partitions - Accessing frequently a partition is called "hot partition" can cause performance issues. - General number of requests you make to dynamodb too high Partitions Best Practice - Use high cardinality attributions - itemId, cardId, SessionId - Use composite attributed - ComputerId+DisplayId - Cache - can use DAX (dynamodb accelerator for reads) - Add Random Numbers to make partition key high cardinality Consistency Models - DynamoDb supports both eventual and strongly consistent. - By default eventual consistency. - Eventual - Read response can be non latest, other write, stale, repeat get different answer, but keep repeating and will get latest answer. - Strongly - Always up to date data, can get error 500, higher latency, not supported

Basically, all we do with SEO is that we optimize for keywords.  When we optimize for a keyword, we mean one or multiple search terms, that the customers would search for. This is where the battle happens, and it's a zero-sum game. Meaning if you want to beat someone from being at the first place on Google, a search results, you would need to remove in from there.  In SEO, we optimize for 3 types of keywords: 1. Information 2. Commercial 3. Brand. With informational customers are just searching for information while in commercial customers are actually looking to solve a problem they have fixed a door in their house, in branded keywords customers are looking for a specific brand.
