I got a pre-owned iPhone 13 with battery health 84%. I get 6 hours screen on time. I’m on ios 26.6.1.

How do you charge your phone? Do you use optimised charging or limit to 80%?

rkalyankumar

Do you charge your phone to 100% everyday? Do you also optimise charging overnight?

rkalyankumar

Use LeetCode filters to know about patterns. Then use your favorite LLM to learn about them.

rkalyankumar

Try doing some free courses from mit open courseware or from coursera.

If you already know basic data structures and algorithms, I’d suggest you to learn patterns and start solving easy and medium problems first and then transition to hards. LeetCode is the only resource you need!

Cute Name

Most of the times the culprit is WhatsApp background refresh/activity. I turned the background refresh for WhatsApp off and my iPhone 17(base) isn’t heating up anymore. Not sure why that app is so greedy. It would easily consume 10-20% of battery otherwise leaving your phone warmer always. Now no issues.

Force it using automation

Follow your instincts. It’s good!

General rule of thumb is that the first choice should always be the main stream programming language in which you are most comfortable with. Python does allow you to type less and that’s what people prefer to be honest. Java/C++ are great choices too.

End of the day, you are not going to get one right answer for such questions as this is going to be a personal choice end of the day and no one will be influencing you to pick a programming language for leetcoding and dsa.

I’d suggest to talk to someone you trust and who loves you very much. At that instant your 70% of insecurity feeling fades away. Take some time off from your work or regular chores. Do something to calm down your mind, like doing meditation or pranayama or just try to be idle for long hours. Do things you like until you feel good about your given situation.

It was possible with Airtel. You have to submit aadhar and take new SIM card for the circle you want to port to.

It depends on what you actually want to position yourself in your career. Generally, the best programming language for leetcode is the one you know best or if you are starting new python or java are fine.

rkalyankumar

Stop planning. Stop asking. Just start it.

rkalyankumar

I’d suggest you to understand the recurrence relation, states and how it changes, then see overlapping au problems to optimize and there you get the dp.

rkalyankumar

You simply aren’t learning. Period.

Try esr cases

rkalyankumar

The Apple silicone case is smudgy. I use esr frosted black case which is MagSafe.

Revelation of the year!

I switched from Airtel to jio. Inside home airtel showed full signal bars with 5G, yet people can’t reach me. I had to force my network setting to LTE only to get back online. High time please switch to jio or vi.

rkalyankumar

Apple trade in is the best. Order online. I think you should be good with iPhone 17 if you don’t need a telephoto camera. iPhone 17 is really good.

rkalyankumar

End of the day choose the language that you know and are comfortable with at the best. Python is fine too, but you should write idiomatic python code and should know when to skip one liner solutions when the expectation is to test you on that one liner solution expansion. In general, python is fine.

iPhone 17

rkalyankumar

Ha!Ha!Ha! I used to have Airtel until when I’m inside home where it shows 4bars 5G signal, yet people can’t reach me, instead they heard I’m unreachable. I had to forcefully drop my setting down to LTE only in order for the incoming calls to work. Airtel 5G is a joke!
