Master Queue & Deque Problems in Python

Image
  Queues look simple on paper, but they quietly decide how real systems behave under pressure. ⏱️ Estimated reading time: 12 minutes Generally accepted, queuing (queue) is a first-in-first-out ( FIFO ) data structure. In reality, queues are used in many non-academic contexts as a means of survival. All systems that deal with any kind of traffic, task, request, or data at scale eventually face this same fundamental problem: it is impossible for everything to be processed simultaneously. When traffic arrives at a system faster than it can be processed or handled, that system needs to determine what stays in the queue, what is dropped, and the order in which it will process traffic. At this point, we begin to view queues as more than just a structure for storing data; they also represent the design of a system. In large-scale systems (i.e., an e-commerce site selling out of an item due to demand and the associated product returns and replacement orders; an online video platf...

Be that person in your own field. Bring unexpected ideas, form genuine connections, and do something others can’t. 💡 Be the exception, not the average....

Why Habits Fail Before They Start - The Invisible Trap Behind It

Blog 6: The Real Reason Your Habits Fail Before They Even Begin Why systems, identity & environment matter more than motivation. Introduction Everyone talks about building good habits, breaking bad ones, staying consistent, and transforming their lives.

One evening, we all ended up at a friend’s place. No occasion. No reason. Just a bunch of drained-out minds from completely different fields, crashing in the same room with zero expectations and one unspoken goal — to breathe for a while.  No career talk. No deep conversations. Just that quiet kind of understanding you don’t need to explain. A Night of Games, Roasts & Zero Pressure. We didn’t “hang out.” We went full chaos mode. Cold coffee  A line-up of energy drinks that could fuel a rocket  Basically, everything designed to keep us alive through the night. But the real energy didn’t come from caffeine .It came from the roast battles. Someone abandoned a teammate? “Bro, you play solo even in co-op mode?” Missed a revive? “Even bots have better instincts than you.” We shouted, laughe...
