      @@wonrei I mostly invest in industries and companies I know about. So do your own research on companies you like and see how are their financials and what kind of dividend they pay. If you don't want to go through that there are also index funds that focus on dividend companies.
      Or you could just buy an index fund that follows the S&P 500. Remember don't ever blindly trust anyone who is trying to sell you something and use your own brain and do your own research.
      You could also get started by looking at some dividend investors in youtube. Joseph Carlson and GenExDividendinvestor to name a couple.

    • @FryingPan
      @FryingPan  Před 3 lety +1

      So I just transitioned to ultrawide and the experience has been great so far! It feels like there is more real estate, but there some small "issues" like requiring more manual resizing of windows, also I felt it was a bit inconvenient when streaming on twitch, and just general screen sharing, because you share ultrawide instead of normal 16:9 screen, so you have to work around that. Overall the extra space is good for productivity so I don't think I'll go back to multi-monitor for the time being. Hope that helps:)

      woah woah 350zs go for 6000 - 15000 CAD depending on condition. Better off in the states if you’re chasing money.

    Hearing you talk about how you start to say weird shit late in the day makes me feel a bit better about myself. I'm 20+ years into my career now, but I was diagnosed with ADD in my late teens, and even now, it's almost impossible to stay focused after a few hours of the bombardment of problems, questions, coding, guiding jr devs, and sometimes a little bit of corporate BS that is every day of my career. It's still an amazing job though - most of what I listed I actually enjoy. But every single day I'm mentally exhausted by 5pm.

      It isn't just you. When I was coding 20+ years ago the environment was focused. Now it is endless distractions -- meetings, questions, emergency fixes, and whatever else. I saw this trend developing and left my programming career long ago.

    My approach for that LeetCode question was iterating the input command for 4 times. Then compare origin (0,0) to the current (x,y) position (after finishing executing the instructions 4 times). If they are the same, return true, otherwise false.
    That’s because for a repeating circle, or I like to view it as a rectangle, the minimum number of input to achieve an infinite repetition would be 2, like “GL”. Because you need to move at least one step and turn at least one direction to make a corner. And you can have at max 4 corners to a achieve an infinite rectangle.
    It took me 40 minutes to do it but I will definitely improve on getting better.
