There are some things that shouldn’t leave your head or mind when you are uncertain about them, like doubts regarding other people’s integrity or personality, because you wouldn’t like it done to you even if you are a public office holder

[Imago Dei @eldivine]

He's just a really skilled politician but charisma? Nope. He comes across as a really skilled actor whose emotions are very skin deep. Aka phony. You'll need a titanium drill to get to his real opinions on anything.

But People will eat it up because he looks and acts the part.

About 16 Hausa hunters headed for Sallah festivities in Port Harcourt were met with mob justice and burnt to a crisp in tyres as they were passing through Edo. They were accused of being kidnappers/fulani herdsmen from the North by locals while passing through the town.

Alas it is your ardent lover, Ibrahim who has come to visit (you) Ahmad (s), the best of all creations to offer gratitude.

If other people go to Madinah to visit other than him, then verily I declare that I have only come to visit Ahmad.

Crypto bros. Congrats on your brand new cars and welcome to the bull market. This might be the first bull run for most of you and it pleases me to see a lot of you all leaving the trenches.

I bought my first BTC in 2016 at $900 (I believe) way before most of you knew anything about the blockchain technology. Made close to $650k at the height of the bull market in 2021 and round-tripped the entire thing until I had very little to show for it. I do not want you to make some of the mistakes that I made so please take your time to read this thread.

Going for a system design interview ?

Do these 10 things👇

1. Understand distributed systems basics: how to scale horizontally vs. vertically, use load balancers (e.g., NGINX), and manage trade-offs using CAP theorem. Know how data replication works (sync vs. async) and handle concurrency with tools like distributed locks.
2. Be clear on networking: basics of HTTP, TCP/IP, WebSockets, and gRPC. Learn how CDNs reduce latency, why reverse proxies like NGINX matter, and how DNS resolves domains.
3. Dive into storage: when to pick SQL vs. NoSQL, how sharding helps, using indexes for faster queries, designing scalable data models, and caching efficiently with Redis or Memcached.
4. APIs are key: design RESTful APIs properly, know when to use GraphQL, and work with message queues like Kafka. Understand event-driven architecture and pub/sub models.
5. Focus on performance: keep latency low, throughput high, and monitor everything with tools like ELK, Prometheus, or Grafana. Know how to rate limit and build fault-tolerant systems (e.g., retries, circuit breakers).
6. Learn patterns: caching strategies (lazy loading, invalidation), CQRS for splitting read/write operations, and microservices design patterns like service discovery.
7. Scalability matters: understand data partitioning, sharding, and replication setups like master-slave or master-master.
8. Don’t skip security: grasp OAuth and JWT for secure access, encrypt data properly, and prevent DDoS attacks with rate limiting or firewalls.
9. Get hands-on with cloud and DevOps: know core AWS/GCP/Azure services, containerization with Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines for smoother deployments.
10. Practice trade-offs: always think about balancing cost, scalability, and reliability, and be ready to explain your design choices clearly.

Good morning, @customsNG.

The three men you see in this video were involved in alerting your men to the smuggled rice and petrol seized by your men overnight last Tuesday to Wednesday in Oja-Odan.

Can you then explain how the identities of these men who tipped you off about the crime became known to smugglers, consequently earning them the beating of their lives?

What does it say about your supposed anti-smuggling war that tipping you off is no different from tipping smugglers off?

Who are the Customs officers who snitched on their colleagues and on these men?

Will you ever find the thugs who dehumanised and tortured their fellow humans in this manner or will they go scot-free?

Not like we don’t know the answers; there’s a reason I rechristened you the Nigeria Customs Smuggling!

WARNING: Some viewers will find the following videos disturbing.

The Judge of Love decreed for me to love Tāhā, the Hashimi eternally & so was it destined.

Hence, I loved him with my very nature, & my love increased as his perfection became manifest.

I will love him for as long as I live, & verily, my love persists even beyond my death.

The most disingenuous mindset propagated by social media. I fear for young people who shape their lives around this opinion.

Diwani sums up Shaykh's deepest thoughts & cravings; it is a poetic representation of his relationship with the world, including preferences & values. This is why the dominant mention in Diwani was our master RasūluLlah (s), whose love was Shaykh's major preoccupation.

Posting in the hope that it might help someone:

People have already cracked the code of system design interviews, and you can be very methodical about it. Unlike coding rounds, raw intelligence isn't the key factor here. I cleared system design interviews at Microsoft and Google using the following method. I had certain advantages, like working at Amazon before, so YMMV.

More importantly, preparing well for these interviews will definitely make you a better engineer.

First, buy physical copies of the two books by Alex Xu and read them as if your life depends on it. It actually does. Read both books. You might not understand many concepts initially, but do whatever it takes to grasp them. Start with your favorite LLM. Read articles and papers on the topics. Create prototypes and build them on your laptop until you can explain the concepts to anyone. You should know enough that, if needed, you could build a project around it. I did this to understand t-digest in PostgreSQL. Understand the trade-offs explained. Write them down and ponder over them for days. It’s nearly impossible to think of a system design question that doesn't overlap with a question from these books.

Second, watch some YouTube videos of people giving mock interviews. This is essential because some people know a lot but still fumble during actual interviews. Learn to pace yourself. You’ve got 45 minutes, and you need to cover 10 pages of content. Learn to impress your interviewer. Time yourself to spend 5 minutes understanding the problem, 10 minutes identifying the components, 10 for interaction, and so on. The numbers are indicative, but remember, it’s a performance. Stick to the script. You are not that random shooter from Turkey who won silver at the Olympics. Nobody is that cool in front of a Google interviewer who has asked the same question to 100 people before. Shooting in the Olympics doesn't have moving targets. Interviews do.

Third, find two different people to do 3-5 mock interviews with. You don’t want to get blindsided. You might be overlooking something. Practice your act. Find people who are already working in similar companies. Don't ask me. I don’t do 1:1 coaching; I don’t have that patience.

Fourth, this step is optional. I didn’t do it, but you can if you need some extra confidence. Interview at a few related companies to get some live practice. You might even get a great offer, so there’s no downside. Please don’t overdo it. Don't let the results of those interviews—both positive and negative—affect you too much. Stick to the process.

It might take 6 months to a year, but it will happen if you persist. Don’t fool yourself; your competition is working even harder, for longer. Again, you are not that cool; system design interviews are an act, and they can be perfected.

And if you do the preparation well, believe me, you WILL become a better engineer. I still see problems where I build an analogy with something I learned while preparing.

Good luck, and have fun!

I handed in my passport to the immigration officer in Havana. He looked at it, tossed it aside and told me to stand aside until they were done with everyone else.

I stood there for hours before I was “specially attended to”. This emergency patriotism you people want to do, hmm.
