GitHub Pages File-Sharing

If you sometimes find yourself needing to share a file over HTTP, there are not many file-sharing solutions you can use.

This action works by publishing files via GitHub Pages behind an obscure prefix path. It updates the repository README with the URLs, so that you have links to the published files.

You can keep the repository secret, and the files are public but semi-secret, so you can share them without concern that other files will be discovered.

In this brief guide, I will share what I've learned about archiving live webpages and recovering deleted webpages using various archive services.

Before you start

I highly recommend installing the Web Archives extension in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox). It provides quick access to archive services and search engine caches.

Overview of archive services & caches

• Wayback Machine: Best and largest webpage archive. You probably already use it. Wayback Machine is the only archival service that also performs automated crawling, so its coverage is much better than other archives. See usage tips on Wikipedia.
• Archive.today (also known as Archive.is): A mid-sized service that takes

import langdetect
T = tiktoken.get_encoding("o200k_base")

length_dict = {}

for i in range(T.n_vocab):
    try:
        length_dict[i] = len(T.decode([i]))
    except:

So you want to write a sync system for a web app with offline and realtime support? Good luck. You might find the following resources useful.

GROKKING NOTES

I liked the way Grokking the coding interview organized problems into learnable patterns. However, the course is expensive and the majority of the time the problems are copy-pasted from leetcode. As the explanations on leetcode are usually just as good, the course really boils down to being a glorified curated list of leetcode problems.

So below I made a list of leetcode problems that are as close to grokking problems as possible.
